This sweet little favor has been popular this fall – in classes and at my craft show. This is a pouch that holds a hot cocoa packet, and there is a chocolate-dipped peppermint stick tied to the outside. This isn’t a new design, and it isn’t my original. I am … Continue reading

Fresh Cookies
I have seen a handful of these cute cookie sheets on Pinterest – I don’t know who to credit with the idea. Since “Cookie Cutter Christmas” has been a favorite of mine this season, I had to make one too. My cookie sheet started as a 2″ x 5″ piece … Continue reading
Christmas Pines
I love this technique that our CEO Sara Douglass shared with us at our convention earlier this month. The greeting is stamped with two colors, and the lower portion of it is heat embossed. I used Rich Razzleberry, Sweet Sugarplum and Copper Embossing Powder on the bold Noel greeting from … Continue reading
A Little Present
I love this swap I received at OnStage from Stephanie Daniel. It’s smaller than our standard cards, but not so small that you couldn’t put it in an A2 envelope and mail it. The finished size is 3 1/2″ x 5 1/4″. It could also be a large gift tag. … Continue reading
No-fuss Gift Card Holders
Truth be told, the punch art on the Grinch is a little fussy, but the gift card holder itself is not. I make a lot of Gift Card Holders at this time of year – they are great sellers at Craft Fairs, and I use quite a few myself. These … Continue reading

Candy Cane Lane
I knew this one was going to include gingerbread houses and gingerbread men, and I had fun playing with pieces until I came up with a lane of houses. The smaller houses are cut from the Candy Cane Lane designer paper. The larger house in the foreground is from the … Continue reading
Gingerbread Window Sheet Card
This is similar to the Window Sheet cards I posted last Monday. Click here for last Monday’s post. I received some questions, so I now have video directions for you. I am also making this my “Featured Project” for the next few weeks, meaning that I will send you one when … Continue reading
Window Sheet Cards
This card has been catching a lot of attention in my craft room this fall. It is so remarkable because it is mostly clear. It was made by my upline, Mindy Gray. The base is a 4″ x 11″ piece of Window Sheet, scored at 5 1/2″. The pictures don’t do … Continue reading
