12 Days of Christmas- Day 12

I can't believe this is our last day!  I hope you've enjoyed seeing some different holiday project ideas.

Here is our last one....a quick update on an oldie but a goodie....the pizza box!  So quick and easy to create and perfect for little goodies.

 

You can find the instructions for this box at Splitcoaststampers.....CLICK HERE.

12 Days of Christmas- Day 11

This has been in the works for a few days......this is a squash book.  I used it as a recipe book, but you could replace the recipes with pictures in a snap.  What a great gift for a cookie exchange or the g-rents with pics of the grandkiddos! 

It's really easy...found this tutorial.  All you have to do is:

12 Days of Christmas- Day 9

A very special group of ladies came to visit tonight....my 500 club!  I'll post more about that later, but one of their projects was this super cute Christmas tree.  I've been holding on to this one so it could be a 12 day project too!


I can hear you gasping...yes, you are right, this is too stinkin' cute!!

And, as my 500 clubbers will tell you.....super easy to make!  Try it in red and green!

I found this tutorial on this BLOG, she is awesome!

12 Days of Christmas - Day 8

Back on track.....this is a quick and easy money holder.  We all like money, don't we?

 

 

cardstock is cut 6 1/2 by 9 1/2 then scored at 3 1/8 and 6 1/2.  trim inside pocket and....there you have it!

12 Days of Christmas- Day 7

In keeping with the Mr. Big theme....here is another cute idea.  This is our Bigz Stocking Die and it's so stinking cute.  Use it to cut out paper and create ornaments, gift card holders, treat containers or even cut it out of fabric and sew adorable little stockings!

12 Days of Christmas- Day 6

I made these cute favors for my girls last weekend on our stamping retreat.  Super simple when you use our fancy favor die.  Just ran it through the big show using Cherry Cobbler 12x12, and embellished with Be of Good Cheer dsp and ornaments from our Ornament Keepsake set in the holiday mini.

My momma was kind enough to make a big batch of her famous snack mix, so I put some in cello bags for the ladies. 

 

12 days of Christmas- Day 5

Now....this is just cute:

This is a super cute purse.....and a matching card.  This little purse is perfect for candy, a little gifty gift or.......  chapstick!

I found the video instructions on Frenchie's blog.  You can check it out HERE.

12 Days of Christmas- Day 4

This one isn't as Christmasy as it is a super cute gift idea.  We made these stationary holders and my upline's meeting in November. 

cover:  8 1/2 x 12  (score long side at 5 3/4 and 6 1/4) 
            designer paper:  6 x 12

pocket:  4 1/2 x 6 1/2 (score long side at 1/4, 1/2, 6 and 6 1/4)
              score short side at 4 and 4 1/4
              cut out corners and fold sides and bottom under- put a dab of multipurpose glue in each corner and hold for 30 seconds.  then put very little on the complete inside fold and hold down to attach to cover for another 30 seconds. 

before gluing the designer paper to outside, place 2 small pieces of sticky strip in front and back to adhere ribbon.

use 2 way glue pen to attach the scalloped ribbon border to the pocket.  (this is actually straight from the catalog on page 147)

fill it with the english ivy simple sentiments: (page 147)  20 lightweight sheets of stationary and 10 envelopes for only $9.95.....add a personalized monogram stamp for $16.95.    I received my personalized stamp from my upline and I LOVE it!!!

I got this from Yvette's Paper Garden:

Here are the directions:

• Cut two pieces of cardstock with one measuring 2″ x 11″ and the other measuring 2″ x 3-1/4″.
• Score the longer piece at 1/2″, 2″, 3″, 4-1/2″, 7-3/4″ and 9-1/4″.
• Punch this piece as shown below with the Curly Label Punch (I punched a piece of Post-it note paper and attached it to the cover to serve as a guide).

• Crease all score lines with a bone folder and then attach the 1/2″ flap to the back of the template with Sticky Strip. Attach the second panel that measures 2″ x 3-1/4″ to the front of the cover. Small pieces of Velcro were used to keep the cover closed.

Here’s a side view with it closed and standing upright:

12 Days of Christmas- Day 1

I am a little behind.....I was away stamping all weekend and I don't know how to set this up on a timer, so bear with me.

For the next 12 days, I will post a little sumthin' sumthin' to get you in the mood for the holidays, perfect ideas to make quick and easy gifties for those you are in need of (think teacher, scout leader, bus driver, co workers, secret sister....etc etc) or even just a cool card idea in case you aren't quite done with your Christmas cards. 

Enjoy!

My first idea is this adorable hot chocolate mug!  If you were one of my stamp club members this year, this was your consolation prize for putting up with me for a  year! 

cut cardstock 8 1/4 x 4 1/4 and score long side at every 1 inch.  flip and score the short side at 1 1/2 inches.  Cut off the tiny tab along the one side.  Cut the scores at every inch, to make "flaps."  If you wish to add designer paper and/or stamp...now is your time.  Place a piece of sticky strip along the smallest tab. 

To make the handle, punch 1 3/4 circle punch, then punch 2 1/2 " circle punch around it....cut in 1/2.  Attach the handle to the tab, then adhere the small tab to the opposite side to make the mug....fold in all the bottom tabs.  I used a 2 1/2 inch circle and attached it to the bottom of the mug to hold all the tabs in place, I used our sticky sheets and just punched out a circle.  I then put another 2 1/2 inch circle inside the mug to cover up the tabs. 

Filled with a hot chocolate pack, a chocolate covered peppermint stirrer and some marshmallows.  Perfect little pick me up!
