Gift bag topper/Mini Catalog

Welcome to my blog. Merry Christmas everyone! This will probably be my last post till after Christmas. Tomorrow I take my granddaughter to the airport tomorrow and my sister is coming on the same day. This is a very busy time of year!
Today I’m going to share a quick way to top gift bags.
Materials and Directions:
1. I used a 6x6 piece of Wrapped in Plaid is. I cut this to 5x6.

2. I then folded in half. With the label punch I punched a small section on the top to fit the handles.




3. Load your bag and put the topper on.
For other size bags I’ve used a 12x12 cut 12x6 . You’ll need to measure your bag.

Mini Catalog

Feels Like Frost Card/Gift Card Holder

Welcome to my blog. This next gift card holder is also a card. It can be used for any occasion.
Materials and Directions:
1. For the card base I used Mossy Meadow cardstock. You can get 2 out of 1 piece of 8-1/2 x 11 inch piece of cardstock. Cut and score as shown in photo.
Fold on score lines. On the short side I made a notch with the 3/4 inch circle punch. Glue the 2 sides together as in photo. I used the liquid glue because it’s stronger.

2. Cut the Feels Like Frost  DSP and Whisper White cardstock as in the photo. Glue the DSP to the front and Whisper White inside.
3. I used a label punch and stamped the sentiment (from Paper Pumpkin). I then glued on one side.
You can use a sentiment you have. I have not stamped anything on the inside because I may use it for a winter birthday. You can use a sentiment that you want.
You can order the materials I used on my website. For orders less than 150$ use the Host Code GYFHGUXK.
Happy Crafting!

It’s called the diaper fold. Steps 1-4 make the pouch. Step 5 is what I used for the front. You can use what you have or purchase the moose punch from my website.

I corner rounded the top , punched a hole and put ribbon so it could be hung on the tree.

To A Wild Rose Christmas card

Welcome to my blog. To A Wild Rose bundle can be found in the annual catalog page 141. It is a versatile set for all seasons. I have seen Christmas cards made with the Christmas Time is Here suite which focuses on the Rose . I don’t have this but felt I could make Christmas cards with To A Wild Rose. Here is what I came up with:

Materials:
Card base - Whisper White
Layering piece is from Wrapped in Plaid DSP
Glimmer paper red from the holiday catalog
Ink- real red and garden green
Sentiment-from Snowman Season

Directions: cut paper as shown above. Stamp flower on whisper White and die cut. Same with the leaves. Glue layering piece to the front of the card . Glue the glimmer. Then arrange and glue the flowers and leaves. I used a scrap paper of the layering DSP on the in side and stamped the sentiment.

Socking stuffer mini note book/ Mini catalog and Sale-A-Bration



Welcome to my blog. Altered mini note books were another item that did well at craft fairs. These I also got at the a Dollar Store. They come 3 to a package. I used DSP from the Holiday catalog,Toile Tidings DSP, Feels like a Frost DSP and Let it Snow DSP. When measuring be mindful that the width can be different . I don’t cover the black binding. Measure from the edge of the binding out. The height stays the same. After cutting the pieces glue to front and back.

Sale-A-Bration/ Mini Catalog:


January 3rd the new Mini Catalog is available for order. If you live in the states and need one let me know and I’ll send you one. There’s some amazing new product .
