Hand Santa-tizer Packages

Happy Wednesday Crafty Friends!!

Kendra here from Luv 2 Scrap N' Make Cards!

This week it is all about 3D Christmas!!

So exciting!

I knew exactly what I wanted to create!!

When I got the Oh, Christmas Puns sets I was so excited to see the "Hand Santa-tizer Santa Tested/Elf Approved" sentiment!

I knew at one point this holiday season I would have to create some of my mini hand sanitizer packages! 

Aren't they cute?!?!

A side-view to see the mini hand sanitizer:

I just love these little bottles from Bath and Body Works!

Makes for a nice little gift!

I have some girl friends coming over this week, so I thought it would be fun to create these for them!!

Perfect sentiment for these packages:

The adorable Santa:

How fun!!

Snowflake Flurry

Happy Wednesday Crafty Friends!!

Kendra here from Luv 2 Scrap N' Make Cards!

This week it is all about Christmas Cards!

Not a problem, as I am still creating cards to send/hand out!!

I got out the lovely Oh, Christmas Puns set, as I love the "Wishing You a Flurry of Joyful Surprises" sentiment!

 I just love the white, blue and silver!

Check out the fun sentiment:

I stamped most of the sentiment with a dark blue, but masked the "Flurry" so I could stamp that with VersaMark Ink and then emboss with Silver Embossing Powder

Perfect with the die cut snowflakes!!

Warm Decemberrr Wishes

Hello everyone! Laura here from Laura's Crafts & More...This week the DT is all about Christmas!! Yes it's that time of year again! My card today uses "Warm Decemberrr Wishes" from Wintery Puns. 

I used a Snowflakes embossing folder and added some Star Dust Stickles to make it all sparkly! The branch is a die cut that I inked with Gathered Twigs distress ink and the bird is a "button" from my stash. I also used Distress Stickles for the "snow" on the branch.

Christmas - Ombre Style

Happy Wednesday Joy's Life Stamp Friends! 

Kendra here from Luv 2 Scrap N' Make Cards to share a fun project with you!

This week we are creating projects based on the "Ombre" style!

At first I had no clue what that was!
So after looking it up a few times, as Julie mentioned the other day it is 
"the French word for color that is shaded or graduated in tone."

Call me CRAZY, but I have really started getting into the holiday spirit!  So I've been creating a lot of Christmas cards!

So with the "Ombre" style in mind, I decided I wanted to create a Christmas card with a tree on it using the fun
"tree-mendous wishes for a sparkling holiday season" sentiment from the Oh Christmas Puns set!!

I used my Cricut to cut out the fun holiday tree, in which I used 3 green colors of cardstock to get the "Ombre" style!



And I obviously had to add a lot of bling to give it that perfect "sparkle"!!


Have a wonderful day!!

Dear Santa I am... Definitely Goodish

 Hi!! This is Jennie from Earthy Scrap!!

This week in Joy's Life we are doing 

Glittery and Bright Projects!!

I am sharing the only December Daily page I have done.

I still need to print some pictures but the great thing about this story is the absence of a photos. 
I took my daughter to take a photo with Santa and it kinda failed LOL

 Since I have no real photo of Santa 

I got this one from a K & Company paper. 

 On my fake Polaroid I used a sentiment 

from Oh Christmas Puns.

I hope you enjoyed this post!!

Take Care!!

Using the negative of a die-cut

Hello! This is Patty from the Crafty Kitten with my technique for the week.  I'm going to show you how to use a die cut in a different way.

I turned to my trusty Cameo for this project.  Using the drawing tool, I made a rectangle the size that I needed.

Using one the of tree files available in the Silhouette online store,  I  enlarged, centered it in the rectangle, and then cut it from white card stock.

I marked the green card stock where the tree would be positioned and began to cover the background with Washi  tape.  (If you are in a big hurry, you can use printed card stock.)

 

It was at this point that I realized the tape was semi-transparent and the green card stock was showing through.  I changed plans and used the white die cut as a base to lay the tape so the true color of the Washi tape showed through. 

I used the pencil marks to place the tree onto the card.  Afterwards, I taped the stamped frame to the card and added the glitter star.  This is how it looks after it is assembled.  

I chose this stamp from Joy's new Oh, Christmas Puns for my card.  Works perfectly!

Well, I hope you enjoyed this quick tutorial.  If you decide to try this, with all the beautiful Washi Tape and papers out there now, I think you'll be happy with the results!

Christmas Tree Gift Card Holder tutorial

Today I am going to show you how to make a simple Christmas tree shaped gift card holder.

I used the 'Treemendous Wishes for a sparkling holiday season' stamp from the Oh Christmas Puns set.

Here you can see where the gift card is hidden in the finished card.

First, I cut a piece of scrap paper into a 5x7 rectangle. That's the size envelope that I wanted my finished card to fit in. fold that paper in half, sketch the tree on it - using up as much space as possible, and then cut out the template.

Trace the template onto your chosen patterned paper to create the back of the card.

Then you want to cut the template into the three tiers of the tree. Trace those tiers onto your patterned paper, but be sure to extend the top edge of the bottom two tiers by about a half inch to allow for an overlap and adhesive.

Glue the top two tiers together. Glue the bottom tier to the back of the card using adhesive just on the sides and bottom to create a pocket.

Finally, add a little adhesive to the back of the top part of the tree so that it sticks to the gift card. Then have fun embellishing!

Merry Curling!!
