I have a Christmas card to share today that was made with left over strips of red & white polka dot paper and a piece of black and white designer paper that matches. I stamped and colored the Tim Holtz crazy dog image with Copics and then die cut that panel with a Lil Inker stitched rectangle. I added the fun Santa hat done with a die that a sweet friend sent me, and added a pre-printed Simon Says Stamp sentiment.
I'm entering this card into the Rudolph Days December Challenge
Here are some more of the treat boxes I made this year. I used random snippets of dsp and some punched Martha Stewart snowflakes, along with some tiny stickers and brads for the centers The Merry Christmas sentiments were done with a KaiserCraft die from mirror red cardstock.
These were filled with old fashioned candy straws in flavors of peppermint, cinnamon and peanut butter. There were also spearmint and cinnamon gumdrops in some of those boxes too.
I made a couple of the Lawn Fawn Tiny Boxes with the deer add-on for my friend's grandsons. I added a couple Hershey kisses and a few M&M's in each one.
Last but not least, I made this gift envelope for my auto mechanic. I put a little bit of green in it because he always goes above and beyond to help me keep my car in good running order. The gnome is a Brutus Monroe die and the sentiment is from SU! heat embossed with gold. I added a few sparkly stickers in red and green just for fun.
Sorry about the bad photos. I've been having camera issues for some time now that I just can't seem to correct.
That just about wraps up my Christmas for this year, but thanks for stopping by and make it a great day whatever you do.
