Snow Flurry Garland

 I saw this garland on Bekka Prideaux's blog and just had to recreate it. It uses the new Snow Flurry Bigz Big Shot die (127813) from the Holiday catalogue and the Glimmer paper.

I did two versions.....

.......one with the new Champagne color (127885) and Gold Brads (119741)

And one with the Silver Glimmer  paper(124005) and Silver brads (119741)

They are joined with brads to make a single garland or you can also create patterns by joining them in different places.
This is a very simple but effective project!
Thanks, Bekka!

I hope your holiday projects are coming along well.

Thanks for stopping by.

Our children are grown and no longer at home and so stockings are not hung any longer at our house. I used kraft paper bags and put stockings on them, created using the stocking die, to hold a few little sweets and fun things for them. I used card stock and embossing folders for them as well as some Frostwood Lodge DSP from the Holiday mini. They were fun to have under the tree.

Inch box Advent Calendars

 This cute little calendar was designed by Brenda Quintana and it really struck my fancy. It is created using DSP from the Letters to Santa pkg and the 25 and Counting stamp set that is in the current Mini.  Accessories are silver brads, Cherry Cobbler Quilted Ribbon and the 1" Square, Decorative label and the petal Card punches. Th box measures approx 5 5/8" square and the entire project is about 11 inches tall.

 Here is a side view of the box with one of the "drawers" opened. The drawers will hold small treats such as 1-2 Hershey's Kisses, candy. I have created 2 of this style for our grand daughter and nephew. In each drawer is a small candy and a joke for each day leading up to Christmas.

A close up of the front shows the ink colors used; Pool Parth, Cherry Cobbler, Old Olive and Early Espresso.

I created a grown up version of the box for my mother and mother-in-law using the Christmas Lodge stamp set. The images are stamped in Early Espresso and Cherry Cobbler and are embellished with the Dazzling Details to give some bling and sparkle to the snow.

Fancy Folds Class #5

 The last project for the fancy folds class was a gift card holder from a standard envelope. We used a Crumb Cake envelope, Crumb Cake and Garden Green cardstock, DSP from the Frostwood Lodge pack. Cherry Cobbler seam binding, Curly Label punch layered onto the Curly label die from the Movers and Shapers die, Felt mitts from the Winter Wishes stitched felts. The stamped label is from the Beautiful Season Set. The inside is decorated with a punched Stocking using the Stocking Builder punch from Garden Green cardstock and decorated with  Frostwood Lodge DSP

Nothing really fancy but also well received by everyone.

Hope you enjoyed this class!
