Christmas gifts for class members

Heres some pictures of the little water bottle gifts I did for everyone who came to class last Saturday. You can use any pocket or envelope framelits or die to create the little hanging pouch off the side of the bottle. 
I wrapped the bottle label with some DSP. 
I added rub ons, ribbon, clips, mini safety pins, sequins, ribbon, mini jingle bells, & snowflakes.

I put a little pouch of Crystal Light drink mix (from Costco) in each pocket. 
Merry Christmas to all my favorite class members!!

It's that time of year.... And that time of month for CARD CLASS!!!  Even though December is the most hectic month of the year, I love my Christmas card class!
We will be making all Christmas cards & listening to Christmas music....

Time to chill!!

Great advise for this time of year, huh?
Snow Place is a great stamp set! So many options & ways you can create cards from this set! You can also bundle it so you can save some money!
Here's a really simple card  for you at this "time to chill" time of year. 
DSP & card stock that matches are all you need. I chose to do the Wysteria Wonder & Pool Party just because SOMEBODY  in class loves purple!
And the combination is a great winter one anyway. 
You could even use another embossing folder & snowman other than what I used. Just make it your own! Add snowflakes and you have a lovely simple card!

Shimmery Peace on Earth

Talk about elegant!!! Wow!! This is one gorgeous card!
Foil red sheets, silver foil sheets, silver glimmer paper all make for a super special card for some one that's high on your list this year!
Oh and did I mention the striped red foil vellum?!? Nope I didn't! But that's another special feature of this particularly beautiful card. Fun to put together & definitely fun to give!

Shadowy Trees

Here it is!! This months "5 Second" card!

Literally the simplest card!! 
Snow flake vellum over white card stock stamped with Night of Navy trees from the oooooold SU! set "The Pines". 
Mount on Night of Navy card & punch holes at top so you can attach the vellum with ribbon. Remember if you use tape or glue dots it will show through vellum. I used Stazon ink for the greeting just to insure it wouldn't smear. There ya go!!

Chimney Santa

Cute cute CUTE!!!
This punch art Santa (well, his feet anyways) is just too sweet!!
Full Heart punch for feet
Owl Builder punch for bag
Boho Flower punch for "fur"
Two Tags punch for bricks & presents
Super fun & super easy!!

O,Come all ye faithful

I look forward to putting my nativity figured up each year! So I thoroughly enjoyed making this card. Just card stock, Memento ink & chalks is all you need to give this card that "Wow" factor!
I placed the two front white pieces together so they touched (before adhering them to purple) and stamped the greeting. The mounted them on each side flap.
Add a silver star and your "paper" nativity is complete!!

Comfort & Joy Gift Card or Money Holder

Hers a great way to use up scraps of DSPs!
Just cut strips into various widths & adhere. You could actually over the entire background if you wanted to!
I actually did an edge punch across the bottom of the front & put a piece of DSP along the inside bottom edge to peek thru. The greeting piece is a place card upside down. I then did a little pocket flap out of the Framelits Labels collection. 
I added elves underneath to keep flap down & money or gift card in! I thot the little trees marching up the side was a great finish!

Poinsettia Blessings

I've always a loved combining Cherry Cobbler with Always Artichoke for Christmas cards! And this stunning poinsettia is no exception!
I used the Poinsettia punch for the flower then added rhinestones for some bling in the center. Silver ribbon peeking out around the edges to tie it all  together. 
Here's some closeups.
Looks like a Christmas gift all tied up and ready to be delivered!
