12 Weeks Of Christmas: Week 9 Punch Art Reindeer Gift Bag

Welcome to week 9 of my 12 Weeks Of Christmas Posts. This week I am sharing a little gift bag I made for each fo my stamp club ladies. Each one has a little present inside from me to thank them for such a lovely & fun year.

I am unsure of who originally posted this cute reindeer however, I'm sure if you look on Pinterest or google you will see lots! I have certainly seen him pop up lots & I am pretty sure I CASED him from Dena at thecreativitycave.com

When it comes to Christmas it is always good to have a few little punch art reindeer or Santas to add to tags, cards or gift bags. I whipped up 20 of these little fellas using scraps left over from other projects so I am super happy about that too! Be sure to check back next week for my Week 10 project.

Thanks for stopping by

12 Weeks Of Christmas Week 3: Among The Branches Gift Bags & Card

Here we are again for the week 3 installment of my 12 Weeks of Christmas series. Every year around this time I hold a Create Your Christmas event for my customers where they get to make lots of cards to hand out to family & friends. I try to use as many new Holiday products as I can at these events & always provide their kits in a pretty gift bag.

My Gift bags need to hold lots of goodies, but also need to be pretty. Today I am sharing my gift bag design using "Among (or Amoung if you are Australian) the Branches stamp set & the Woodland embossing folder. I saw something similar to this on Pinterest recently by Julie Davison & I just loved it so much I decided to make my gift bags for my Create Your Christmas day to match it.

Here are my gift bags:

And here is my stepped up version made into a card. I like to design my gift bags so that my customers can create a card out of the decoration on the front each year. I then display a card I have made with it so they can go home & make it. It's all about recycling here!

I just love these blues & silvers together. Just a hint...you will be seeing these colours again this Christmas! Be sure to check back next Friday for my Week 4 Project.

Thanks for stopping by

12 Weeks Of Christmas: Weeks 1-3 - Santa Stache Bags & Card & Tiny Treat Endless Wishes

Yes, I know I have been very naughty & have been neglecting my blog. I have been working really hard for the last 3 weeks getting all the projects & displays ready for my Create Your Christmas day tomorrow. Phew I have finally finished the preparations & can at last sit & visit with you all. I always do a 12 weeks of Christmas special so as a catch up I am showing 3 projects for weeks 1-3.

Those of you that know me personally, know I always create a special bag for my events. It is one of the things I really enjoy as I get to increase the scale of my project. Here is my bag design for tomorrow.

Project 1 (Week 1 of my 12 Weeks Of Christmas)

I have used Smoky Slate, All is Calm DSP, Cherry Cobbler & a dash of Silver Glimmer paper. I stamped random snowflakes from Endless Wishes stamp set all over the white bag as it was looking a bit plain.

Project 2 is a matching card. I really love the Smoky Slate sheet from the All Is Calm DSP ( can't you tell lol) When teamed with white & silver it takes on a silvery feel.

Project 2 (Week 2 of my 12 Weeks Of Christmas)

My 3rd Project are little table gifts I made everyone attending my Christmas Creations day. This is another thing I always try to do. I have used the Tiny treat Boxes from the Holiday Catalogue & have stamped a snowflake from Endless wishes all the way around in craft White ink. I used the very versatile Tag Talk stamp set for the small tag on top.

Project 3 (Week 3 of my 12 Weeks Of Christmas)

Inside is a little surprise for those attending. I hope to be back Monday to share some photos from the day. I will be glad to give my trimmer a rest I can tell you. I have lots to share including the projects from the day, plus I've made quite a few samples. I am also working on a few tutorials for you all for some of those projects.

Thanks For Looking,

TRICIA
