Well, today it's Christmas in February. Today I'l going to show you the projects we made in November. We made projects for Christmas because we didn't have a December Club meeting.
On this card, run you two pieces of CS through the Big Shot (seperatly) using the Top Note die cut. On the white piece, tear off the extra part to show the garden green CS that is behind it. We colored the stamped image with writer markers and blender pens.
This card is pieced together like a quilt. Once all the "quilt" pieces are glued down on a piece of copy paper, trim off the excess and run through the Big Shot with an embossing folder. They stamped their initial in the center.
This triangle treat holder is so simple to make. It's made from an oblong piece of CS. All you do is score and fold. It can be decorated in so many ways for so many occasions.
That's it for November's Club.
I did have a Stampin' Night in December. It was opened to everyone, not just club members. You could make one or both items. One was box fullof gift tags. The other was Christmas Stocking. Depending on what you made depended on the cost.
This wa the gift tage box. The only hard part of this project was the box. The rest was simple, stamp and punch. Sorry the photo is a little blurry. The stamp set is Tags til Christmas on page 32 in the IB&C. They picked the ink colors they wanted to use.
This is the box with lid.
This is the finished box.
If you chose the stocking, you received a package of DSP. You could make as many stocking as you package would allow.
The next couple of photos are of the Christmas cards I sent my our family and friends.
On the top card, I embossed the center of the poinsettia.
The rhinestone on the bell makes mine a little different from the one that we made in club.
The projects you are about to see are Christmas gifts I made.
This is a stationary box I found on Split Coast Stampers a few years ago. I made it for the ladies I work with at school and for Shana. I made them all the same except for their inital on the box and on the cards inside. When you take the lid off, the front and sides fall down to reveal what's inside.
This is the inside of the box. It was 6 quilted cards and envelopes, 6 3x3 cards, a little note pad, matching RSVP pen, 6 gift tags, and a book stamps.
Closer look at what's inside the box.
My mom need a few small gifts to give. This project was a family joint gift. Samantha, my daughter, went and picked up the hand sanitizers, I made the boxes, and mom gave the gifts.
I made this project a couple of years ago at club. It was so easy and fast.
Here's a closer look at it. Here it is open.
This little guy was made with the Knifty Knitter. I made one for Samantha, my mom, and my mother-in-law. I put a music button in his hat. I thought he turned out cute.
This was my version of a gingerbread house. My house is a sugar cookies house. I couldn't find any gingerbread and I don't have a recipe for one. Last year after Christmas I bought a gingerbread cookie cut set. It's the first time I that I ever made one. In the past, I couldn't ever get the dough cut out right so they ended up being people instead. It's not real decorative I know. But I didn't think it turned out to bad for the my time. I made it for Samantha's brother-in-law.
These cookies I made to take to our parents' for Christmas. The top cookies is my sugar cookie. The bottom cookie is called Spiced Holiday Sugar cookie. I found the recipe in the magazine. It's a McCormick recipe. It's a great tasting cookie.
I know today's blog has been a very long one. But I hope you enjoyed seeing what I worked on for Christmas.
