Lightbulb Treat holders

2 Replies

Here’s the last 3D item that I made for my craft fairs – absolutely adorable Christmas lightbulb treat holders which hold a little candy. They use the now retired curvy keepsake framelits, a little glue and some scoring and you’re done. You could easily put these together in time to dress up your table (as long as you already have the dies that is!)

I found these on Lydia Fiedler’s blog, Understand Blue. Lydia is a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator who really adores techniques; I encourage you to read her blog. Here’s her video showing how she made these.

I hope you enjoyed today’s project.

More Than Chocolate

Leave a reply

Here’s another of the items that I made for the craft fair – a box full of foiled chocolate balls with a label from More Than Chocolate declaring that chocolate makes everything better. Well it does, doesn’t it? It’s an economical box since you can get 2 from a piece of cardstock but it also holds a lot of chocolate – 14 of them. Sam (Pootles) has a video showing her box and how to make it and you can view it here.

I made changes in the closure and the decoration. I added a strip of washi from the Year of Cheer specialty washi which I feel makes the box look really grand. I wrapped a belly band of ribbon around the box – berry burst – and then added a bow attached with glue dots. The sentiment is backed by a silver foil circle from the layering circles dies. I then added dimensionals down the centre of the circle and ensured that they only attached to the ribbon so that the belly band could slide off.

I hope you enjoyed today’s project.

Hot Chocolate Treat Holder

2 Replies

Here’s a hot chocolate pouch that I made for my recent craft fair – I used retired DSP because I had some beautiful Christmas paper left from last year. This is the diaper fold and I used a sheet of paper 11 by 11 inches.

It’s very simple – a few folds, no glue and you have your pouch. I also made the same pouches with 6 by 6 inch paper and put 3 Dove nuggets inside.

Season Like Christmas

Leave a reply

Here’s one of the cards that I recently offered at a “come and make some cards quickly” event. I myself managed to make some too whilst helping everyone with carding and cake. Oh yes, there are always cake or cookies at my classes. This uses most of the tree from Season Like Christmas – it’s a three stamp but I only used 2 for the tree.

Although there are 4 stamps to be stamped, it’s still quick to make. First use the soft suede for the trunk and then stamp off the old olive and stamp the full tree, then add the detail with full strength old olive. To finish add the grassy bank – some of mine were full strength, some weren’t. Then I put that onto a piece of old olive to give it a border but after the fact wondered about soft suede so tried that too.

For the background it’s a piece of Merry Little Christmas DSP on a thick whisper white base. Easy to carve up a sheet of 12 by 12 into 6 background pieces and then make up half a dozen cards quickly.

Festive Phrases

Leave a reply

Here’s an adorable card that we made at my Stamp a Stack last week; my customers chose a card (or cards) and then made a set of ten of each. This card using notecards and Festive Phrases was a popular one. The preparation was quite quick too – all I had to do was cut a length of ribbon for each person and cut out 10 pieces of whisper white with the largest stitched shapes oval framelit.

It’s amazing that every time we do coloring, the room becomes silent as people concentrate. Here we used Stampin’ Write markers in soft suede, real red and garden green. And then the finishing touch – a bow out of the beautiful Quilted Christmas ribbon. It’s retiring so if you want some, it’s as supplies last.

I hope you enjoyed today’s project.
