Dec 19, 2008 | 3D samples, Christmas
Cheryl gifted my son & I recently – I got to have this portion of the treat! She created a packet holder using the Punch Pals set, with the packages on the tree like a sled – so cute.
This is the slider portion open – with the treat! Essentially you create a flat tube, then punch a hole through both layers at the top; thread a length of ribbon through. You place the treat into the centre of the tube, on top of the ribbon. Slide it into place, then tie the ribbon. The recipient simply pulls up on the tied ribbon to slide out the treat (no untying necessary – so a great gift packaging idea for little ones to open!).
Thanks Cheryl, for the treat! I had the cider immediately after taking these pics!
Dec 16, 2008 | Christmas, rubber stamping
Things are a little busy around here right now….what with the last week of school before Christmas, and me still trying to get my own Christmas cards done & mailed out…. My last "Twitter" update reads "Still working on finishing Christmas cards…still hoping to have them mailed before Christmas…" I think it's going to be like that for a while…lol
Anyway – here's another swap sample from the talented Kim – featuring the Deer Friends Hostess set, Ski Slope designer series paper and those great scallop punches! I love how she's cut out around the snowman's head & mounted it to give some dimension.
OK I'm off to work on those cards some more. I'll try to post a shot of my card here later. If you're on my mailing list – it's the TWELFTH week of the TWELVE weeks of Christmas!!! Watch for it in your inbox later this week.

Dec 3, 2008 | Christmas, rubber stamping
This is such a fun stamp set! Stampin' Up!'s Holiday Line Up features reindeer, elves and snowmen. I am thinking that this might end up being my holiday card this year…or one of them. (NO, I'm still not done them).
This is a cheater verision of spotlighting that we did at my friend Linda's recent workshop. The image is stamped in basic black onto whisper white cardstock. We punched the 1-3/8" circle punch on some old olive cardstock, then (using the punch upside down so we could see what we were doing) used the 1-3/4" circle punch around that hole to create the green ring. Adhering this to the image, we then just coloured inside the circle with stampin' write markers. A bit of 2 way glue on Rudolph's nose and some fine cosmo glitter to jazz it up; mount the image onto a strip of ski slope designer series paper and a real red card – tada! The nice thing about this card is that it's extremely flat, despite the layers, so no worries about mailing issues…(unless of course you have a 3 page Christmas letter plus photos to include…)
