Ghirardelli Chocolate Holder

Here are some little treat holders I made with Ghirardelli chocolate squares.  A friend of mine had given me one of these so I carefully took it apart to find the score marks and size of the paper.  Then I glued it back together and kept it.   I had made a bunch of these this past Easter for my daughter's class.  They were a big hit with her friends so I thought I would make some for Christmas.  The sentiments are from my awesome friend Mary's Cardz TV Stamps.  The set is called Home For Christmas.    Please click on this link to check them out.  cardztvstamps.blogspot.com  The papers are from a pack from Recollections I bought at Michaels.   I think they are fun little treats to give to friends.  Thanks for stopping by, please let me know you were here.  I love to hear from you!

Santa Teddy

Here is my dog Teddy in his Santa Suit.  He's in the holiday spirit.  He's such a good dog for letting me dress him in costumes.  And he gets rewarded for letting Mommy do this.  I will be posting a fun little project hopefully later today.  Thanks for stopping by!

Warm Winter Wishes

I have had this card in mind ever since I bought Joys Of The Season when it first came out years ago!  I just never got around to it.  When I was selected to by on Cardz TV Stamps Design Team, one of the stamps on the Home For Christmas set had Warm Winter Wishes on it.  So I figured it was time to make this card.  Please check out the awesome Cardz TV Stamps at  cardztvstamps.blogspot.com 

This card is 5 1/2 x 5 1/2.  The Warm Winter Wishes sentiment is from the Home For Christmas Cardz TV stamp set.  The fireplace is from Joys Of The Season cartridge.  I cut it out at 2 1/2 inches and all of the layers.  The patterned paper is from a DCWV stack I purchased last year I think.  The holly leaves are from a mini Studio G punch from Walmart.  The stockings are actually buttons I bought at Hobby Lobby.  They are really soft and fuzzy.  Have a great weekend!  Thanks for stopping by and please leave me a comment.  I really love comments!

Believe

Here's a quick card I made last night using the Cardz TV Stamps Home For Christmas.  Here's a link to Cardz TV Stamps  cardztvstamps.blogspot.com  This is a 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 in. card.  The window is from the Christmas solutions.  I cut it out at 4 inches for the brown window pane and the blackout.  Santa and his sleigh, and the moon were also cut from the same cartridge.  Santa and his sleigh were cut at 1 inch.  It's very detailed so I had to be careful taking it off the mat.  The moon was cut at 1/2 an inch.  The patterned paper is from one of DCWV stack from last year.  Thanks so much for stopping by.  Please let me know you were here and leave me a comment.  I would love to hear from you!  Have an awesome day!

Lip Balm Holders

I had to share these little lip balm holders.  The idea came from Stampin' Up!    This is my take on these cute little holders.   I used Cardz TV Stamps for the sentiments.  I used the Home For Christmas stamp set.  cardztvstamps.blogspot.com   On the Jingle All The Way holder, I used paper from a DCWV stack from last year.  On the Happy Holly Days, I used paper from Hobby Lobby.  The Kandy Kane Kisses paper came from Hobby Lobby as well.  The lip balm came from Avon.  They were on sale for .99.   I know my daughter will want to give these to her girlfriends for Christmas.  Hope you all are having a wonderful day.  Where I live it's been raining all morning.  Thanks for stopping by, please let me know you were here!  I LOVE COMMENTS!
