I wanted to share some more quick, last minute gifts for the holiday season.  Last night I was wrapping all of our Christmas gifts for family... I wanted to add something small to a few people's packages. 

I remembered I had these great skinny silver tins that I bought for 99 cents each in the clearance rack.

Lightbulb moment!!  I stared at the tremendous amount of holiday candy I bought and decided to create custom made chocolate gifts.

Here they are ... which one is your favorite?  Mine is the very last one - love the bling!

Teacher Gift

Just sharing a simple gift packaging idea with you today.

I cut out a piece of designer series paper to adorn the lid of this little gift box.  It added a festive feel and I topped it off with some pretty ribbon and a stamped image from the Holiday Best - hostess stamp set.

Inside is a sparkly apple ornament for my son's Kindergarten teacher.  I wish I took a photo of it - it's so pretty!  You'll just have to use your imagination and ooh and aah with me.

Sometimes all it takes is adding pretty paper, a little ink to make a gift "extra special". I hope she likes it!

Post Card Set

I have been dying to use the Holiday Lounge designer paper.

With it's funky, bold, and retro patterns - it's a collection I knew I needed for this holiday season.

Using a fun envelope portfolio idea I CASE'd from my friend, Kim, I made this simple set of note cards.

 

See another envelope portfolio I created by clicking here.  View the cards from that collection in detail here.

This is a very quick project - go ahead and make a few card sets for friends & family!  One of the best gifts in my mind is one that is handmade and comes from the heart.

Feel free to download the envelope portfolio.  If you create one, email me a photo.  I'd love to share your creation on my blog!

My posts may be shorter than normal this week, but my message powerful.

I started off my project by making this pretty Night & Day Designer Paper bow.  Following this easy tutorial from splitcoastampers, I quickly completed this black & white bow.

As some of you may know, I am a designer paper hoarder.  These bows are a great project to help me actually USE my paper.  Perfect timing with my son's birthday and Christmas just around the corner.

Click to enlarge the top or bottom photo - do you see the little row of clear rhinestones on the top box?  I love that detail, I simply poked holes using my paper piercing tool and inserted a small clear rhinestone.

I'm very happy with the way this "Anything But a Card" project turned out.

Hope you like it too!

Build-a-Bear BOO!

BOO!  Did this bear scare you?

I had so much fun last weekend creating some Halloween projects for the Holiday Hop.

This little project was dying to join the hop, but I decided to save it for a separate reveal. 

Using the silver tins, found in Stampin' Up!'s Clearance Rack, I created a magnetic Build-a-Bear dress up set.

This play set is fit for a boy or a girl with several mix and match options.  I created little tee's with the Build-a-Bear, Beary Essentials Bigz Die (item #117978, $23.95).  Last week, I shared with you the idea of these little tee's in this post.  

Well, ever since last Thursday, I have been thinking of ways to customize more tee's.  It was SO MUCH FUN!!

Get your hands on some of these tins today - before they're gone!  Did you see my tic-tac-bones play set using these tins?  Fun, fun, fun.  My son was drooling over my shoulder waiting to get his hands on it. 

I have more ideas in store, for example, I would like to make a custom photo frame for my desk at work.  Just have to get more time in my stamping space to create.
