christmas-bag-topperThis is the fun Christmas Topper that I made.  I made one for each of my down-line and filled the bags with goodies for their business.  I thought they were cute and really easy. 

I used the snow swirled set with the Big Shot Snowflakes.  The bag is actually a larger one than Stampin’ Up! sells because I wanted to put 8 1/2 x 11 paper in them.  The top is made with a 1/2 a sheet of 12×12 paper and scored 4″ down.  Then I cut a slit in the top for the handle so that I would just slip the topper over the bag after it was filled. 

If you ever need a quick gift idea try a topper they are so easy and so cute.

Freewheeling Friday 12-26-08

I really wanted to try the Christmas Chatter wheel.  Here’s the card I came up with.  ho-ho-ho

After I wheeled the back ground I made sure the wheel was all inked then I colored just the words ho ho ho with the chocolate chip maker.  Then I rolled it on the vanilla card-stock and punched it out with the large oval punch.  I used the tag punch behind it.   I used the blender pen and touched it to the markers to color the Santa.  I used the white water color wonder crayon for his beard and fur.  I think it turned out cute.  I like how I could highlight just one sentence from the roller to use as my saying on my card.

Thrifty Thursday 12-25-08

I love to have new ornaments for my tree, but I can’t always afford to by them.  I actually love to make them.  I made these fun Rudolph Ornaments for my tree last year.  They were quick and easy and didn’t cost a lot to make.  roudolph-ornament

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It is made with all punches.  I used: large oval, word window, five petal flower, horizontal slot, double circle and  1″ circle.  I used the coluzzle for the background circle.  His nose is made with a rhinestone circle brad.  Then a little ribbon for the holder and a bow at the neck.  I got the idea from a card that someone had posted on the Stampin’ Up! demonstrator web site last year.  They had it on a card.  If I can find my card I will post it for you as well.
