Deer Friends Candy Jar
Filed Under Uncategorized | Leave a Comment
I found these cute little candy jars at Cracker Barrel. As soon as I saw the jars, I knew they would make a perfect little Christmas gift. The large Real Red circle was made with the Coluzzle. I added a Glorious Green scallop circle with white gel pen accents, a stamped image from Deer Friends, and some white taffeta ribbon. Too cute!

. You can see more personalized stamps on page 159 of the Fall-Winter Idea Book and Catalog.

Jumbo Paper Clip Bookmarks
Filed Under 3-D Items, Punches | 2 Comments
These decorated jumbo paper clips make great bookmarks. Punches such as the circle and scallop circle are a huge timesaver when making these bookmarks. You can find the jumbo paper clips in the office supply aisle at Wal-Mart. I like to use my scraps and bits of ribbon to make these bookmarks. You can personalize them by using a monogram or by using someone’s favorite color (hence the tempting turquoise with the soccer ball). The bookmarks are made with 2 pieces of the largest size (i.e., 2 scallop circles) and a pop-up glue dot smashed in the middle holding everything together.

U R Sweet Simply Scrappin’ Kit
Filed Under Scrapbook | Leave a Comment
The Simply Scrappin’ Kits make it very easy to scrapbook your favorite subjects. I used the "U R Sweet" kit to scrapbook this picture of my daughter. The kits contain 6 sheets of patterned paper (2 double-sided designs – 3 sheets each), 8 sheets of solid textured cardstock (4 colors – 2 sheets each), and 6 sheets of adhesive die-cuts (3 designs – 2 sheets each). This kits are such a great timesaver. Isn’t she sweet?

This Baja Breeze square card (4-1/4" x 4-1/4") features the Join in the Cheer Big Shot die (only available from SU!). The die has the saying "Peace & Joy & Love & Cheer" but I only used the "Joy" part. The card is embellished with Ski Slope Designer Series Paper from the Holiday mini catalog punched with the scallop edge, white taffeta ribbon, and halfback pearls from the Pretties Kit. Joy!

Baby Winter Post Pillow Box
Filed Under 3-D Items, Big Shot, Christmas | Leave a Comment
This pillow box is made using the Big Shot and is a baby version of my previous post. I used the same Alpine Ribbon Originals, square scallop punch, and Designer Label Punch. The finished size is 2" x 3-1/4". Please note that this size is perfect for cash but too small for a gift card.
