Well, we have come to the last project for the Holiday Card "Create"tions Collection.  The time went by so quickly!  I hope you have enjoyed all the amazing card sets shared by the Design Team, I know I have! Today we have our final BLOG HOP showcasing a 3D item from the Holiday Catalog, the Petite Cafe Gift Bag. You should be coming from Melissa's blog .  Make sure you complete the circle so you can see all the awesome projects we've created for you. I am featuring Santa Stache for my Petite Cafe Gift Bag, it was soooo fun to embellish! I love the size of this cafe bag, it's just the right to give a treat or even some stamping goodies to someone.  For the bag itself, I first sponged Cherry Cobbler stars with the star decorative mask.  I covered both the front and back. Next came Santa.  I stamped him with Memento Tuxedo Black ink then added color with Blendabilities.  After cutting him out, I adhered him to a banner cut from Trim the Tree Designer pap...

Welcome to the BLOG HOP for Week 2 of the Holiday Card "Create"tions Collection!  This week we are featuring the all too cute Tiny Treat Boxes from page 10 of the Holiday Catalog. Be sure to hop around to all the blogs for lots of amazing ideas!  You should be coming from Melissa's blog , if not, be sure to hop all the way around to visit! My card set for Week 2 was Get Your Santa On, so my treat box coordinates with the set. Isn't this just too cute!!  The box is very small and I didn't want to overwhelm it with the larger stamps from the set.  So I went with Santa's hat and lots of embellishments.  I wanted a window to show the treats inside, but that was easier said than done!  The box is too small for the larger punches to fit in and die cutting wasn't possible either.  So, I used the smaller size punch and it fit just right!  The window was made with the Petite Curly Label Punch.  All I had to do after that was cut a small square of wind...

We are coming to the end of Week 2 for the Holiday Card "Create"tions Collection and today my card set featuring Get Your Santa On went live!  The set is exclusive to subscribers, but I do have another card I made to share with you today.  To find out more about the collection, go to Create with Connie and Mary , it's not to late to subscribe and have access to all the amazing card sets! Now, for my card featuring Santa from Get Your Santa On. Isn't this too fun!  As you all know, I am all about shaker cards right now.  So of course I had to make one for Santa!  The set is so fun and easy to use since it's photopolymer and you can see exactly where you are stamping! The shaker has the new Frosted Sequins and the small stars from the Confetti Star Punch.  For extra sparkle, I added Silver Glimmer stars around the outside of the shaker.  I love the star theme and Stampin' Up! has given us so many ways to use them....it's so easy to coordinate! I hope yo...

Today is a super fun day.....we are doing a BLOG HOP for the Holiday Card "Create"tions ! Each Saturday during the collection we are doing a blog hop showcasing a fun 3D item to go along with our card set for the week.  This week we are featuring the new TAKE OUT BOXES from the Holiday Catalog.  You should be coming from Melissa's fabulous blog , if not be sure to go back and check out her amazing creation! Freaky Friends was my card set this week, so I did a fun box to match featuring Motley Monsters Designer Series Paper. Isn't this too cute!!  I simply LOVE this designer paper.  The polka dot is one of my favorite designs in this set, so colorful!  I covered all four sides of the box then added little monsters to the two larger sides.  The monsters weren't stamped.....they are cut out from the designer paper!  Another great reason to love this paper!! On the back side, I added another cute monster cut from the designer paper.  Like the first on...
