• Hi Stampers,

    A few weeks ago we had my annual Christmas Card Class (my favorite event every year!!) I've been waiting for Halloween to be over so I could start sharing the Holiday cuteness with you all and we're FINALLY in November! 🙂

    Today I'm sharing the Stockings we made up as prizes.

    Stockings

    We used the Holiday Stocking Die (See it Online) to create an assortment of different stockings with gifts tucked inside.

    The stockings looks SO cute hanging up at the class – we has them clothes pinned to a line and  hanging at the front of the room! I wish I had snapped a picture of them hanging up but I was so busy helping everyone and visiting that I forgot to get my camera out! 🙂 It's always a sign that a class is a REALLY good on when I don't have time for pictures!!

    We used a lot of items from this year's Holiday Mini to embelish the stockings – be sure to visit the Holiday Mini page in my online store and stock up on fun items for decorating your gifts this year!!

  • Hi Stampers!!

    Happy November!!

    I've got one of many CPC projects to share with you today…

    This mini CD desk calendar is a great project and just in time for Christmas!  It makes a great Christmas gift for your friends and family and is easy to duplicate.  The calendar is a great gift especially for teachers, co-workers, and best of all, it’s a gift that they will use all year round!  This project is also a fun class or club project!

    I have one quick project to share with you today. We made these cute little owl treats up for a Halloween party the other night.

    They were so quick and easy to make we got them done at the last minute! 🙂 The owl stamp comes from the Hostess Set Warmest of Wishes.

    Just Stamp the owl and punch him out. Then do a little coloring to highlight his mask and bag. We added a punched circle for the moon and folded the label punch to create a topper for our candy!
