12 Days of Christmas Day 6

Let the fun begin again. For day 6, I wanted to create a beautiful Christmas card holder for my friend. When I saw Mary's Christmas tree ornament, I knew right away that that was it. I quickly began to cut and assemble the Christmas tree. I then attached a long ribbon to the top ribbon. This is the area where all the cards will be pinned and displayed.

Here is a closeup of my tree. The branches are decorated with some pearls and beaded trim. I then punch out two bunnies for the bottom of the tree and a snowflake that I placed at the top. 

 I am going to enter my tree in the Die Cut Challenge over at StuckOnUSketches. There is still two more days to join in the fun, so why not play along.

12 Days of Christmas Day 5

Hi Everyone! For my 5th day of Christmas, it is all about the Christmas gift tags. They are super easy and fun to create especially with all the wonderful cardstock and embellishments that are available around Christmas time. 

For my tag that I enter in The Kraft Journal Challenge #200 Christmas Gift Tags, I started off with some craft cardstock, cut my tag, added some embellishments, tied some twine and called it done.

12 Days of Christmas Day4

For the 4th day of Christmas, I decided to make a Christmas ornament for my friend. The svg file is again one of Mary's from SVGCuts. Her file comes with a bird in the cage but to put a fun twist on my ornament, I replaced the bird with a cat.

To be funny, I have a feather hanging out of his mouth.

I embellished the cage with some flowers and leaves from Petaloo and Prima.

 I also added in some feathers and dollar store bling to the outside of the cage. The cat is a Stampin' Up! stamp that I chalked. I just smile every time that I look at that Tan Evil Kitty. My yard was from Michaels and my cardstock is AC Cardstock. I am going to enter this in Paper Issues, Bird of a Feather Flock Together Challenge.

12 Days of Christmas Day 3

Who does not love chocolate and snowflakes during Christmas time?

 Today, for The Craft Hoarders Anonymous Challenge #21, Celebrate the Season, I wrapped this box of Godiva Chocolates with some pretty paper from MME. Being that the chocolate box is magnetic, I used my Big Shot to cut out some beautiful snowflakes with my Stampin' Up! dies and glued a magnet to the back. I then tied some gorgeous vintage lace around the top of the box that I had in my stash and added a touch bling to the snowflake. This project was so simple to make but yet the end results are stunning.  

Here is closeup of my box.

This is what it looks like without the magnet. I just love that paper collection from MME. It's the Signature Christmas collection from 2009.

Here is a shot of the tiny magnet that I used.

and here is the snowflake on my frig.

12 Days of Christmas Day 2

My 2nd day of Christmas, I wanted to post my card. Every year, my dear friend orders 5 Christmas cards from me which has to feature a bunny in the design. This year, I wanted to create her cards using this adorable poinsettia box card from SVG Cuts. I also found this sweet bunny file there too. It was like a match made in heaven. I did not even have to re-size the bunny to fit inside the box. For the bunny's face, I used one of my cute Peachy Keen Stamp which was also a perfect fit. I really like the way it all came together. I am going to enter it in the HIMCR #176 Freestyle challenge.
