Saturday Series: Cookie Cutter Christmas Reindeer card, treat and tag

I am so excited to share these cute Christmas ideas. I haven't posted on my blog in a while-life has been busy!! But I am back!! The holiday catalog went live on the 1st and it is spectacular!!! On Saturday's I like to showcase a particular item (stamp, paper, or accessory) and use it several different ways. 

Here is my 1st Christmas share from the holiday catalog:



How cute is that??  I used the reindeer cookie cutter for all these, there is actually a gingerbread man, eskimo, bear, and santa on that set as well.

How sweet is that tag?? I love the Red Glimmer paper for the nose!!! I used the owl punch for the nose, too fun!! The "to and from" are also from the Cookie Cutter stamp set.  Did you notice the printed paper at the bottom....oh my...one of my favorites!! It's the Candy Lane Designer Series Paper.

For this cute lil' reindeer treat, I used the new Cheerful Tag Framelits...and let me just say... I'm in LOVE!! Very easy to use and wow it does all the work for you.  It is actually meant to make tags, but I opened it up and made a tag topper!! This framelit cuts, scores-and you are done!!! I used the bow part on the Cookie Cutter builder punch, and also used the owl punch for the nose!! I used my computer to generate the wording! I used chocolate covred nuts for the brown noses, the red one is a jelly bean.  :)  I googled it and their is actually 9 reindeer, including Rudolph!!!


I just love how this card turned out.  The designer paper I used here is from the Annual Catalog, called The Christmas Specialty paper. I thought the sentiment went great here, kinda fun like the card.  It's from Stitched with Cheer.  I had some fun building the santa hat here, using the new Jolly Hat Builder!! I tell ya what, Stampin' Up hit it out of the park with the new catalog!!! I had to use the new jingle bell too!!

I hope you enjoyed this fun set!!! Have a great night, be sure to click here to order.

I am late on posting this, but it was too fun not to share. For my card class this month we had a Christmas Party and card class! Boy did we have fun! We had a hot cocoa bar, even though winter hasn't come to Texas, we had some yummy hot cocoa!! We made cards and gift cards, everyone had a treat under the Christmas tree from 'santa' and more laughs that Ol' Saint Nick himself! :) Between taking pictures using  silly Christmas photo props and listening to Christmas music, and having yummy snacks it was a FUN night!!

Here's the cards we made, we made 2 of each.




The Santa Suit card was the easiest:


Here are the details:

• Real Red card base: 8 1/2" x 5 1/2"
• Whisper White center: 1 1/4" x 5 1/2"
• Basic Black belt: 1 x 4 1/4" embossed with Boho Chic embossing folder
• Center buckle: Basic Black and Silver Glimmer (on Weekly Special this week) cut using Square framelits (black center also embossed with Boho Chic embossing folder)
• Upper Yoke (cute right!!) cut with Deco Labels framelits and stamped in Basic Black using the Lighthearted Leaves stamp set
• I used the Neutral dots for the buttons (tip: if you need alot of Black-use a Black Sharpie pen on the candy dots and it works like a charm.)

This card is sooo striking! This summer at the Stampin' Up convention in Utah, they explained how Black and Gold were a HOT color combo for this season. After I made this card, I have to agree! Gorgeous!!! I don't know if this picture really captures that!!

Here are the details:

• Card layers: Basic Black 4 1/4" x 11", the Gold Foil layer is 4 1/4" x 3, the Winter Wonderland Specialty paper is 4" x 2 3/4".  (see below for a great tip to use the Gold Foil paper, before you adhere it, to get the most out of your paper)
• Christmas Tree: stamped and cut using the Peaceful Pines bundle (page 16 in holiday catalog). I embossed it with Gold embossing powder!! (I used the Itty Bitty Accents punch for the star)
• I used the Lots of Joy stamp set (from the big catalog page 69, I love that Stampin' Up has Christmas stamps in the big catalog!!) I embossed it with the Gold Embossing powder
• to keep up with the gold accents I used the Metallic Foil Dollies, and cut it in half (so you can make 2 cards with one!! ) these are on page 148 in the big catalog, if you haven't tried these...try them they are inexpensive and add such a pop!! I used a bow in the Gold Ribbon.

These girls are crazy!!  :))

Saturday Series: Christmas Fry Box fun!!!

I have been having so much fun with the Fry Box!! I think because it comes together so easily and you can just have the best fun decorating them to fit your theme! Today, for my Saturday Series (which I have missed the last couple of weeks, have you missed it too??)   I wanted to share these super cute Christmas Fry Box ideas!!! LOOVVE them!!! See what you think......




Are those to cute or what???



This one turned out so cute and very quick to make!! I used the Cucumber Crush Cardstock for the Fry Box. I used believe from the Jolly Christmas stamp set. The Reindeer Clip is what steals the show here!! It just slides on like a paper clip, and I used the Red Pom-Pom trim to make Rudolph's nose!! I filled my Fry box with Hershey's Nuggets, wrapped in the Holiday Foil Trim! To cover the nuggets, simply use a 1" x 3" piece of paper and wrap around. I secured mine with Tear Tape.



To make this adorable Snowman. I started with the Thick Whisper White cardstock for the  Fry Box. I used the Owl Punch (by the way, the Owl Punch, is one of my all time favorite punches!!) for the eyes and the mouth. I used the Tree punch to make the nose, and trimmed it in half (so you get 2 noses out of 1 tree punch). To make the eyes stand out I used the White Insignia pen. I used Black cardstock to make the hat, and added the bow! How fun is that!!
