Gift Bags!

I know I'm going just a bit crazy here, but don't we all need gift bags? And not just for Christmas either, for birthdays and baby showers too!

This is only a few of what I've made. I have tons more designs and sizes but I got a little sick of taking pictures so you'll have to either use your imagination, or come to the Jingle Bell Boutique on Saturday!

Kit 1 - Bingo Bits

Everyone loves to make cards, but not all of us have the time and materials to do it. This is why I've made these adorable kits!

This is the first of two quick and easy kits I've put together for the Jingle Bell Boutique this Saturday. Each kit includes six envelopes, each stuffed with all the things you'll need to put together two each of these fantastic cards. All you need is adhesive! I've stamped,cut, textured and punched everything!

Here's a close up of the first card. I love the look of the circle inside the scallop squares on this card.

I couldn't resist the Santa face!

And of course, ornaments!

This is the box that everything comes in. This would be super fun to do at home, with a friend or daughter or to give as a gift to someone who loves card making.

Most of the items at the boutique sale will only be available while supplies last, but I can take online orders for these fun kits so if you can't make it to the sale and you'd like a kit, just let me know!

Bookmarks!

I'm really scrambling now to get everything made for the Jingle Bell Boutique, and I know I should be making the most important things first but who's to say bookmarks aren't the most important, right???

I can't tell you how much I enjoy making bookmarks. They're even more fun than cards because

A) They are smaller and easier

B) I can make them for myself as well as other people and

C) I use them all the time!

The size for these I believe is 2 1/4" x 6 1/4" but any size in that neighborhood works just as well.

For this one I used:

* Tags til Christmas and Jolly Bingo Bits stamp sets

* Jolly Holiday Designer Paper

* Cherry Cobbler, Old Olive, Very Vanilla and Early Espresso (markers and card stock)

* Scallop Square Punch, Scallop Border punch, Tag Corner Punch (retired) and Slot Punch (also retired)

* Old Olive 1/4" Grosgrain ribbon

And here is the other design of bookmark I made. The thing I like about this one is that the paper is so pretty, I didn't even need to use any stamps! Bonus!

Also 2 1/4" x 6 1/4"

I used:

* Deck the Halls Designer Paper

* Cherry Cobbler and Early Espresso card stock

* Cherry Cobbler Seam Binding ribbon

* Corner Rounder Punch

* Crop-a-dile

* Jumbo Eyelets (antique brass)

Jolly Bingo Bits!!!

That's right everyone, it's officially CHRISTMAS STAMPING TIME!!!!!

(or as some people call it, October)

I can't even tell you how excited I am about this stamp set. I know its supposed to be for the Bingo Board (which I also have!) but its also adorable on its own!

Seee?????

I'm totally cheating again. Stamp club isn't til next week but this is the other project we'll be making. I thought it would be great because it features a ton of new products from the Holiday Mini Catalog. Just look, two stamp sets, designer paper, and TINSEL!!!

I used:

* Jolly Bingo Bits and Bright Christmas stamp sets

* Real Read and Baja Breeze Ink

* Blushing Bride Marker

* Real Red, Baja Breeze, and Whisper White Card Stock

* Candy Cane Christmas D.S.P.

* Silver Tinsel Trim

* Scallop Square bigz clear die

* 1 1/4", 1 3/8" and Scallop Circle punches
