Christmas Crafts

Do you hate to throw things away? For example our buttons or brad containers? I am always stashing stuff like that away because I know I can find a use for it some day 🙂 Go with me here…I know some of you can relate!

So, long story short I made this little candy holder out of the leftover piece from the Mini Lunch Sack. I cut the lunch sack at 4-3/8 for the Treat Bag and the piece leftover is for this project. It holds a gift card perfectly and it will even hold a Ghirardelli chocolate or a Hershey/Kit Kat Bar.

I used Early Espresso card stock with Very Vanilla. I embossed it with the Vintage Wallpaper Embossing Folder and sponged some Soft Suede over it (my replacement for close to cocoa or creamy caramel). Next I sponged some Champagne Mist Shimmer Paint over it.

The “Joy at Christmas” is from the Perfect Punches stamp set & I stamped it twice. I punched the center out with the 1-1/4 Circle Punch & added it with a Dimensional. Did you see the little pearl?

I’ve made a video on how to make the one for my Halloween Class, click here if you’d like to watch it on my Chic n Scratch Live! website.

Here’s the version I shared on UStream.

Big on Christmas Snowman Soup

August 2, 2019December 20, 2009

My project today looks a little familiar……last year I made a Snowman Soup that looked much like this.
The only difference is I changed the colors and used a different stamp set.

I used the Big on Christmas Stamp set and colored the letters with our Stampin’ Write Markers.
The markers include: Bashful Blue, Celery, Basic Gray, Real Red & Pumpkin Pie.
The white card stock measures 3 7/8 x 1 7/8 and the Bashful Blue cardstock
measures 4 1/2 x 4 1/4 & you score it at 2 1/4.

If you’d like to see last years version using the Holiday Lineup stamp set,
you can click here to watch the video tutorial.

If you’d like to print the Snowman Soup poem, click here to download it for free.
All you need to do is print it on White cardstock, trim it & add it to the back of your Snowman Soup.

Thanks & have a great day!!

p.s. Club girls….Stamp Club is tomorrow 11am or 7pm…..see ya soon!

Reindeer Food….again :)

August 2, 2019December 15, 2009

Here’s two more versions of the Reindeer Food. They all share the same colors, using Kraft Card stock, Starkly & Bright Stamp set & sponging with Close to Cocoa ink.

The Reindeer Food poem is printed and attached to the back. Click here if you’d like to print the Reindeer Food Poem.

The Kraft card stock measures 5 1/2 x 3 1/2 and you score it at 1 3/4, 2 1/2 &4 1/2. The red cardstock is 3 1/2 x 1 1/4 and use the Scallop edge punch.
I have a video on a smaller version of this and if you’d like to see how to assemble it, click here to watch the Halloween Treats Holder (just remember to use the measurements above).

The next picture is the same thing….I just made it larger and used the greeting from the Sparkly & Bright stamp set instead of the Merry Christmas from the Teeny Tiny Wishes.

This one measures 8 1/8 x 3 1/8 and you score it at 1, 4 & 5. The red cardstock is 3 1/8 x 1 1/4.

Don’t forget to add Crystal Effects to his nose to make it shine 🙂

Reindeer Food

August 2, 2019December 13, 2009

I’ve made three versions of Reindeer Food this year and today I’m showing you the one that looks similar to the one I make each year.

I stamped the Reindeer from the Sparkly & Bright stamp set with Chocolate Chip ink. The topper measures 5 1/2 x 4 1/4 and you score it at 2 3/4.
I printed the poem on my Kraft card stock using Printmaster software (on my old computer that has died). If you’d like the poem, I have it posted on my other website. Click here to go there now. Once you print the poem, trim it to fit whatever size topper you choose to use.

The Real Red Card stock measures 4 1/4 x 1/2″ and I used the 1 3/8 Circle punch on the Reindeer.

The Reindeer Food is a mixture of Oatmeal and red Cookie Sprinkles. I put the mixture in a Small Cellophane bag that we have on page 159 of our Idea Book & Catalog. You get 50 bags for $3.95 🙂

Snowman Soup

August 2, 2019December 10, 2009

I make Snowman Soup every year for the holidays and this is my version this year. I get such a kick out of making these!!

I used the snowman from the Christmas Punch stamp set but if that’s a set you don’t have you could use Two Cool Dudes or Punch Pals. I realize it’s a Level two hostess set & some of you may not have it.

I used Bashful Blue Craft ink with Clear Embossing Powder and embossed the Snowman tag, then I punched it out with the Tag Punch. I tied the 1″ Bashful Blue Double Stitched Ribbon around the tin and added the tag with Silver Elastic Cord.

The Snowman Soup poem is added to the back and here’s the poem:

Was told you’ve been real good this year, always glad to hear it!
With freezing weather drawing near, you’ll need to warm the spirit.
So, here’s a little Snowman Soup, complete with stirring stick.
Just add hot water & sip it slow. It’s sure to do the trick!

The ingredients are:

Hot Coca Packet
Hershey Kisses
Marshmallows (aka freeze dried snowballs)
Candy Cane

Local & Long distance club …this is one of your December projects. Long distance ladies please make sure you get your minimum orders placed online today.
