Merry Christmas Monday Week #7

My final Merry Christmas Monday project. I had a lot of fun designing projects to share with you for this beautiful holiday season. This week I made a Gift Card Holder using the Father Christmas Stamp Set. This holder looks like it was difficult to make, but in reality it is easy. It is such a beautiful gift card holder, I love it!

To make this project you will need the following products:

Crumb Cake Card Stock # 120953

cut at 4 1/4" x 11" score at 2 1/2" and 5 1/2"
cut at 3 1/2" x 9" score at 4 1/2"
scrap for 1 1/2" circle

Whisper White Card Stock #100730

cut 2 at 3 1/4" x 4 1/4"
cut at 2 1/2" x 4"
scrap for 1 4/" circle

Candy Cane Lane Designer Series Paper # 141981

cut at 2 1/2" x 4"
cut at 3 1/4" x 4 1/4"

Here is a picture of what it looks like partially opened. For this picture I pulled down the bottom part of the holder. Here is a picture of it opened all the way.

Here are the steps to make this holder:

Stamp all you images on your Whisper White Card Stock using Crumb Cake (for a softer look) or Soft Suede (for a more bold look).
Use Crumb Cake ink and sponge around all the edges (make sure you do all edges that fold)
Adhere your stamped pieces to the appropriate Crumb Cake card stock
Using the 2" circle punch, punch out half of circle on the biggest piece of Candy Cane Lane Designer Series Paper
Adhere the Designer Series Paper
Fold your holder so that Santa is on the top of the bottom fold. Put a dimensional so that it is just below the flap with Santa on it. You want to be able to still open up this flap.
Then adhere the circles so that the bottom are even with the bottom of the card holder

The Santa will fit right under the circles. Isn't it the best gift card holder?! Whoever you give it to, they will love it!

This weekend I have been busy baking. I make goodies bags for all of the daycare families and for Mr. Wonderful's work. I made 13 different goodies. My house still smells so good!

Have a wonderful week!

Happy Stampin!

Merry Christmas Monday Week #6 - Hot Chocolate Cup

Merry Christmas Monday!!! It is suppose to be very cold here in Ohio this week and I know I will need something to drink to keep me warm. Nothing warms me up like a good cup of hot chocolate with marshmallows. I also like being wrapped up in a nice comfy blanket with the fireplace on. Ahh I can picture it now.

This is an easy project and a great one to hand out to your coworkers, friends, hair stylist, teachers, actually anyone you run into. You know what I was just thinking. This would also be a great little gift for in January when the holiday season is over and everyone is kinda blah. What a great pick me up! I am going to have to remember that!

To make this project you will need the following supplies:

Marina Mist Card Stock #119682

cut at 4 1/4" x 8 1/2" score at 4 1/4"
cut at 1 1/4" x 3 1/3"

Real Red Card Stock #102482

cut at 2" x 3"

Whisper White Card Stock #100730

scraps for penguin, scarf, earmuffs and snowman

I have pictures below that will show you all the steps.

Place the square framelit from the Layering Square Framelits as shown in the picture below

Now is when I stamped the handle and the outside of the packet. I used the snowflakes from the Snow Place stamp set with Whisper White Craft Ink. Adhere your handles first making sure it is centered. Place tape on the outside edges of side without the cutout on it. Make sure you don't go all the way to the top or you will see your adhesive.

You can now fold over the right side onto the left and your project is now complete. Add your favorite hot chocolate and you are ready to go! To give it a little sparkle I added Wink of Stella to the snowflakes and the snowman.

Merry Christmas Monday Week #5 - Lindt Chocolate Holders

Have you seen the adorable little snowman and teddy bear chocolates from Lindt? Oh my goodness! When I saw them in the store I knew I had to come up with some type of holder for them and give them away as little gifts. This is what they look like in the package (not sure why my picture is sideways).

I got my idea for this holder from another Merry Christmas Monday that I did for the lip balm. If you missed it you can view it HERE

You will need the following products to make this holder.

Cherry Cobbler Card Stock #119685

cut at 2" x 11" score at 3/4", 2 1/4", 4 1/2", 7" and 8 1/2"

Garden Green Card Stock #102584

cut at 2" x 2"

Very Vanilla Card stock #101650

cut at 2" x 2"

This Christmas Designer Series Paper #141628/ Warmth and Cheer Designer Series Paper #141991

cut at 2" x 4" score @ 1 1/2

Between the 3/4" and the 2 1/4" score lines I punched a circle using the 1 1/4" punch. You will fold up the paper to make the box. Here is a picture of the side so you can see how to fold it.

This is what they look like opened.

Your friends and family would love to open one of these and find a cute little snowman or bear. These would be perfect to give to anyone you want to say Merry Christmas to.

HOLIDAY CATALOG RETIRING PRODUCT LIST

I had my Christmas Gift Card Holder Class on Friday night and we had a lot of fun. The best part was I was able to sit down with everyone and stamp with them. I haven't been able to do that in a very long time. I didn't realize how much I missed it until Friday night. I am going to have to make sure I do that more often. It is good for my soul!

Thank you for stopping in today!

Happy Stampin!

Merry Christmas Monday Week #2 - Lip Balm Holder

Welcome to Merry Christmas Monday Week#2! This week I have made a lip balm holder. My friend, Anna Maria, sells Avon and was going to be doing a craft fair. She wanted something cute to put the lip balm in so they would make a great stocking stuffer. I saw something like this on Pinterest and thought it was perfect.

This is very easy to make and if you need to make multiples of it, I would recommend you do all your scoring first and then cut your paper. It took us no time to cut everything out for her to make 30 of them.

To make this you will need the following items:

Garden Green Card Stock #102584

cut at 2" x 2 1/2" score at 3/4" from each end on the 2 1/2" side
cut at 2" x 10" score at 3/4", 1 3/4", 3 3/4", 4 3/4", 7 1/2" and 8 1/2"

Cherry Cobbler Card stock #119685

cut at 2 3/4' x 5"

Warmth and Cheer Designer Series Paper Stack #141991

cut at 2" x 2 1/2" score at 1" from the top of the paper (this is especially important if you have a design on your paper)

Here is a picture of the template I made for this project:

You will notice that there are two red 3/4" circles on both of the pieces. These are to mark where you need to punch out a circle for the lip balm to slide into. Here is an awesome tip for you so they will line up perfectly. You need to put the small piece (2" x 2 1/2") on top of the long piece. Make sure that the score lines on both pieces line up. You will want it on the end of the long piece that has the shorter section before a score line. I then punched out a 3/4" circle from a scrap piece of paper and added just a little, I mean little bit of snail adhesive to it. Put it on the small piece, middle section, centered. You will then take your punch and punch through both pieces at the same time. Now they are perfectly lined up. Easy Peasy!!

Fold your papers on the score lines and burnish with your bone folder. You are going to want to make sure you have crisp lines. You will then put adhesive (I found that the Multipurpose Glue worked the best) on the section below the circle in the picture above. You will then adhere that to the longest section making sure everything is square. The small piece will fit right in underneath so you can adhere that now too.

If you look at the picture above and below you will see how it fits together. I then adhered the Designer Series Paper and the velcro dots for the closure.

I then added a bow made with our bow maker punch. These turned out so cute! I know I will be making them for little stocking stuffers this year!

Have a fabulous Monday!

Happy Stampin!

Merry Christmas Monday Week #1

It's time for my new series Merry Christmas Monday!!!! I am so excited! Every Monday from now until Christmas I will be making a 3D project, gift boxes and bags, tags, stocking stuffers and more! You are not going to want to miss it! Make sure you check back every Monday and more!

This is my first project - A Notebook Holder

When I was thinking about what project to make my first thought was what do you need first for the holiday season? You need a list of all the presents you need to make or buy, who to send cards to, what baking you want to make and what decorating you need to do. Well, you need something pretty to put all those list in and I have the perfect thing for you! I have a notebook holder with a pocket to keep your receipts in and a matching pen all in one place.

Here is a picture of the inside of the holder.

The pocket on the left is perfect for receipts, recipes or whatever you would like to put in there. I put the Candy Cane Lane Washi Tape on the top of the notebook and a santa from the Cookie Cutter Christmas on the pocket to decorate the inside.

To make this card you are going to need the following items:

Real Red Card Stock #102482

one 8 1/2" x 11" scored at 5 1/4" and 5 3/4" on the 11" side
cut one at 6 1/2" x 4 3/4" - score the 6 1/2" at 1/2", 3/4", 5 3/4" and 6" score the 4 3/4" side at 1/2" and 3/4"
cut at 2 1/4" x 5 1/8" score at 1" from each side
scraps for Santa hats
See below for pictures of the above papers

Early Espresso Card Stock #119686

cut at 2" x 5 1/4"

Crumb Cake Card stock #120953

cut at 1 3/4" x 5 1/4"

Whisper White Card Stock #100730

scraps for the gingerbread man, Santa hats, mitten, star and candy cane

Candy Cane Lane Designer Series Paper # 141981

cut at 5 1/4" x 6"

Here are the pictures to explain how to score and put on the Tape and Tear adhesive. You are going to want to use a strong adhesive to keep the pockets secure.

You will need to cut the corners and miter the sides so they make sharp corners. Put your adhesive near the edge of the paper.

You will want to cut out the corners on this piece also. You need to put the adhesive along the first score line from the edge of the paper.

You will want to put adhesive one each side of the score lines and on one side put to pieces. The side with the two pieces of adhesive go in the back of the notepad.

To put the Notebook Cover together you will want to assemble them in the following order.

decorate the front of the 8 1/2" x 11" piece before you adhere the pockets
adhere the pocket for the notebook on the right hand side of the cover
adhere the pocket for the receipts on the left hand side of the cover.
adhere the piece to cover the top of the notebook and decorate it
slide the notebook into the pocket

I added Wink of Stella on Santa's hats and the star on the mitten. I also added white baker's twine for the bow on the candy cane.

You are now finished!!! I hope you like this project. I am going to stop procrastinating and start making videos and I will be making one of these for one of my videos. When I have it done, I will add it to this post.
