Merry Christmas Eve to everyone! For the next few posts I thought it would fun to look back at some of the Christmas projects from years past. If you have been at my classes over the years, you may have made some of these. While many of the items used may no longer be available for sale, you may still have some of these products so if you see something that inspires you, pull out your supplies and craft away!

Hopefully you are almost ready for Christmas (although I still have lots to do!!), but as you put finishing touches on things, how about some cute tags for your gifts. Tags are quick and easy to make, but give your gift that little extra handmade touch to show you care.

The Christmas season is filled with sweet treats, and today I have another treat holder for you. This one will hold a box of Smarties, or a chocolate bar, and you can also put in a gift card if you like. We made these for teachers at a recent class, and everyone loved them!

Deck the halls with boughs of holly. And maybe decorate a card with holly while you are at it!! I love the holly image in the Christmas Gleaming stamp set. Actually I love the whole stamp set, and when you combine it with the coordinating dies and the Brightly Gleaming Specialty Designer Series Paper, it is a real winner.

Do you have friends and family with a birthday in December?

Today’s card is to wish everyone having a birthday this month a very happy day!

How true is this? Christmas often makes us think of family and friends, perhaps ones we haven’t seen for a while. These thoughts usually also bring to mind happy memories and times we have shared with the special people in our lives.

It’s a snowy day, and the forcast is for more snow over the next week, so I figured a snowy card was the way to go! There is a bit of a snowman theme going on at my blog, but who can resist, they are so cute!

Have you seen the Frozen 2 movie that is out? I haven’t seen it yet, but I suspect it is wonderful. I loved Olaf when the first Frozen movie came out, and put him on a number of 3D items. It is time to update him for the new movie, so here is my new Olaf!

When I was at OnStage recently, we got to see and play with some of the wonderful new products that will be available in the Mini Catalogue that goes live in January. That’s one of the fantastic perks of being a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator. One of the new sets is Timeless Tulips, and it is a beautiful DistINKive stamp set with lovely tulips and sentiments. There is also a coordinating punch that you can bundle with the stamp set and take advantage of a 10% discount on these 2 great products. For today though, I just used stamping for my card, no punch.

One of the most popular suites in the Stampin’ Up! Annual catalogue is the Bird Ballad Suite. The stamp set Free As A Bird has wonderful sentiments along with lovely line images perfect for colouring. If it isn’t a colouring kind of day though, you could just use the line image for a card, or you could get some coloured birds from the pretty Bird Ballad Designer Series Paper, as I have done!

My card today uses an interesting colour combination. One that quite frankly, I did not think would work well, . . . but it does!!! This card is for the FabFriday Challenge, so I wanted to ‘play by the rules’ and give it a shot.

What wonderful words those are from Walt Disney. Walt had a vision of so many things, including his world famous theme park. He had a vision and a dream to make it a reality, and he did just that. Wise words for sure. Dreaming it is one thing, but believing you can do it, also helps us reach goals that it would be easy to say “I can’t do that” to. My card today reflects that belief.
