12 Days of Christmas Cards- Festival of Trees

Day 11 of our 12 Days of Christmas Cards. 

I love this card, because all you have to do is change the colors, replace the tree with another image and the words and it could be a template for any occasion. Dana Mosley created this card for us.

12 Days of Christmas Cards- Rudolf

Day 10 of our 12 Days of Christmas cards. 

The most favorite reindeer of all is the focus of our cards today. This DSP reminds us of grandma's house. She had a little reindeer decoration that looked just like that with a nose that lit up. We made a couple of these, the others were given to us by Cindy Baughman and Amy Combs.

Howl-o-ween Project life

Get your Howl on with these pages. The woodland embossing folder was fun to use.  Here we just but beach in our aqua painter then brushed it over the trees.  To get the black accents we lightly rubbed a black pad over it.

Witching Decor Treat Bag Video

Hopefully you already bought a Witching Decor kit....because they are all gone:( we posted this project already but thought we should do a quick little video:)

Extra long Halloween pillow box

Look at these fun pillow boxes made with our square pillow box die.  I'm sure you noticed that it's a little bigger than the die.  Twice as big actually.  Two pillow boxes were put together with a band in the middle. Just trim one side on each of them.

Christmas Tags- To You and Yours Shaker cards

Did you make these cards? They are super cute and a great value. But did you notice all the extra pieces. Why not make tags with them.  Check out the ones we made below.  We just added 18 3x3 pieces of white card stock and greetings with our thinlit dies (you could use the other languages the kit comes with too) We also added a 1x4 piece of red for the jolly tags.

Halloween Treat Bags- Witching Decor Project

Did you make one of these? (scroll down)

Now make these with the extra pieces...Save a strip of DSP (divide it in 8 pieces, curl them with a bone folder, then fan fold them.) Then just add 1 more spider web dollie (cut those in fourths), 2 more tags, 8 bags and 8 clothespins with washi tape.

Decorative Photo Blocks- Fall, Halloween and Christmas

Decorate for the next few holidays with the fabulous photo blocks. Just use the same three blocks and change your pieces on the top. The little embellishments on each set are on clothes pins, just clip them anywhere you want. HINT: Need big letters? Use the banner kit stencils:)

Halloween Fry Boxes

These cute boxes are perfect for your little trick-or-treaters. We recommend mixing all the different patterns of DSP. A 5x12 inch piece is just enough to make everything you need for these boxes. The best part is the hat.  It is clipped on with 1-3/8" clothes pins, just put two glue dots on each side of the clothes pin, then stick a tree on each side as far down to the base of the tree as possible.  Next, punch a 2-1/2" circle with a 1" circle in the middle.  Stick the trees through, then add four more glue dots to adhere the bottom of the tree to the base of the hat.

Cutie Pie- Tent

Another cutie pie creation. This one is pretty straight forward.  Just punch a couple of windows before you stick it together and snip along the bottom to fold the door back. Then have some s'more fun and make of fun mix of marshmallows, golden grahams and chocolate chips to go inside. Ya, all I had were hugs:(

Cutie Pie- Tepees

This is our version of the tepee's we saw at convention a few weeks ago. So cute. it just takes a little modification of the cutie pie die to do it. You need 4 pieces to make the tepees, and if you cut a piece of card stock into 3rds you can get 6 out of it. Have fun making yours!

Cutie Pie- Christmas Tree

I know it's not Christmas yet but I had to show you the cute little box we made to swap at convention. You use the cutie pie thinlit die to make this. Just cut out two of them and glue them together. Then fill it with treats. The tree is with the die too, just add a stump and decorate.
