Gift tags

Hi Crafty Pals,

Well I'm hopefully in the final furlong for holiday preparation and today my son wanted to make a gift tag for his daddy's present. I had quite a few to make apart from his so here is a selection

All tags were simple to make and he'd seen some I made for other parcels. Punches and the Big Shot are great tools for children to use (with supervision of course) as the results always turn out looking professional so they feel proud of their projects.

Rudolph candy bar wrapper

Hi Crafty Pals,

The final countdown for the holidays has finally set in in our house, we put up the tree, the turkey is sorted and gifts are slowly being wrapped.

Today's project is CASE'd from Tami White who made a great video Rudolph Spares. Some of the colours are now retired, so I improvised and hope I did the original justice.

I changed the Close to Cocoa to Crumb Cake and I used Early Espresso ink instead of Chocolate Chip as I'm still building up my stash.

Another change I made was instead of having spare noses I gave him a scarf/collar from the Cherry Cobbler tulle ribbon in the 2012 Holiday Catalogue. Finally I used the Extra Large Oval Punch instead of a larger circle as I wanted to make it a little different.

I don't have the Tulip Big Shot die (it's retired) so I used something else so apologies that this project isn't 100% Stampin' Up!^®.

Since I am giving a gift card as part of a present I decided to follow the other video mentioned so I could attach it to the back of Rudolph.

Ingredients

Card Stock: Chocolate Chip, Crumb Cake, Basic Black, Whisper White and Real Red

Punches/Die Cuts: 1/2" Circle, 1" Circle, Scallop Border and Extra Large Oval

Classic Stampin' Pad^®: Early Espresso

Accessories: SNAIL Adhesive^®, Stampin' Dimensionals^®, White gel pen, Cherry Cobbler 3 1/2" Scalloped Tulle Ribbon and Dazzling Details

If you wanted to try the project out for yourself and need some supplies I'd love to be your demonstrator. You can visit my online shop or contact me by email, can't wait to hear from you.

Have a great day and keep crafting.

Teacher end of year thanks

Hi Crafty Pals,

Yep I bet you can't believe it, 2 projects in 1 day! Once I get on a roll I can make a lot of things.

These are based on a project by Julie Davidson and make a great box for treats or small gifts. I put a hand cream, lip balm and mini nail file in mine. I made them for the teachers at my sons school in Mississauga.

CASEd Sticky notes holder

Hi,

A very quick and easy make that I used as a 'nice to meet you' for my sons new teacher.

I have actually made two of these, but as usual I forgot to photograph the first. The photo doesn't really do it justice and I think I really need to work on improving my photography as everything always seems to be dark even when I use the flash.

I'd seen these sticky note holders before, but not taken note of the dimensions. So big thanks to Frenchie Stamps on YouTube as I have CASEd my sticky notes holder from her. I really like her videos especially as she uses Stampin' Up!^® products so I can copy them exactly if I choose.
