Ornament Surprise

I found a bunch of chipboard coasters and shared some with a friend.  What a nice suprise when my talented friend Barbara Dellicurty made me this wonderful ornament.  I love sharing and getting surprises.

Gusseted Cellophane Bag with Peppermint Candy

This is one of the easiest way to dress up a Gusseted Cello Bag.  I used Candy Cane Lane DSP

For this bag I cut the DSP 4" x 10 1/2" and scored at 1 1/2", 4" and 9".  Filled with Sweet Stripes Soft Peppermint Candy.

If you want to put something bigger, like pretzels, cut the DSP 4" x 12" and score at 1 1/2", 4" and 10 1/2".

Paint Chip Inspiration #40: Merry Snowman

Joy With Snowflakes

At my December Stampin Class we also made this Joy card and this snowflake gift tag..  each guest got to make 2 gift tags.

Santa's Sleigh Gift Card Holder

One of my class projects was this lovely gift card holder.  Santa's Sleigh on the front with the gift box is a perfect front for this card holder.  The measurements are below... this card fits in a normal size envelope.

Dimensions:  Garden Green card stock = 4 1/4" x 11", score at 1 3/4" and 5 1/2".  The white card stock panel on the front and on the inside measures 3 1/2" x 4".  The strip of DSP paper in This Is Christmas DSP measures 4" x 1 3/4".  Use 1 1/4" circle punch,
