Holiday Treasure Countdown 5

 Here's the last share from our Holiday Treasure class. We made these two Christmas Tags as one of our Holiday Treasure projects.

These are super simple, super quick, but will add that little extra to your gift-giving. I used the  Letters to Santa DSP for the Crumb Cake tag.

I used the "Joy at Christmas" stamp from the Perfect Punches stampset as the focal point for the Whisper White and Cherry Cobbler scalloped tag.

Thanks for stopping by and visiting! Have a great day :-)

Holiday Treasure Countdown 4

I hope that you had a wonderful Thansksgiving. I guess with Thanksgiving behind us we're officially in the Christmas Season. I love Christmas!

Here's a simple, yet elegant Holiday Treasure that you can make with your Big Shot and the Snowflake Bigz die. My Holiday Treasure number 4 is a lovely tea light holder for Christmas. I used thin aluminum, but you can use a soda can or you can buy thin aluminum at the hobby store (be sure to use your 40% off coupon), Sticky Strip and a tea light. Stagger and glue the metal snowflakes together, adhere and place your tea light over the snowflakes by adding a few strips of Sticky Strip to the bottom of the tea light, then slightly bend up the arms of your snowflakes and you have yourself an elegant Christmas decoration. I got this fun idea from Monica Weaver.

Holiday Treasure Countdown

Each year we offer a Holiday Treasure Class, which is one of my favorite classes. We create a bunch of fun Christmas-Themed gifts, tags, and what-not's for gift-giving. This year we made 5 creations and I thought it would be fun to share them here on our blog. Countdown Number 1 are Ornament Gift Card Holders which were inspired by Vickie Burdick. I copied her great layout for my Merry Winter Ornament... the merry snowman from the Merry Winter stampset looks so cute in this layout.

Christmas Tags

From Heidi...

It sure seems like it was just the beginning of January 2010 and here we are at the beginning of October looking towards the end of the year. Wow...is it just me or does time seem to be flying by? I've been thinking about our upcoming Christmas projects, planning and creating for them. We have a fun class that we hold each year called Holiday Treasures. In this class we create unique gift card holders, treat cards and containers and other fun holiday gift-giving items. This year we're creating a Cocoa Holder, a Candy Bar/Bookmark card, Gift Tags, and a cute Stocking-Shaped Gift Card Holder. These are the Christmas Gift Tags we'll be making...too cute! This class will be held at Tumbleweed on Thursday, November 11  (class codes 331TW.150 - 12:30-3 PM; 332TW.150 - 7-9:30 PM). We'd love to have you join us...the more the merrier!
