Christmas Boxes!

I just love these new Kraft Gift Boxes in the Holiday Mini! At just $2.95 for 4 boxes, they are a great price. They are a darling size, and completely plain so that they can be altered for ANY gift giving occasion! I made up 3 of them to show off some of the Christmas Products in the Holiday Mini Catalog.

Here's a close up! I used the Winter Wishes Stitched Felt on each of them – I just ADORE these cute little accents! I also used Smootch Spritz on each box — Gold on the wreath, White on the middle one and Silver on the right one.

For this last one, I brought in our Wood Sheets to give some more texture! Wood Sheets are one of our Bulk Raw Materials for the Big Shot Machine, but they're great to stamp on, too!

Here are some items you'll want to order to re-create these boxes: 124108 Stitched Felt, 124105 Cobbler Quilted Ribbon and 124106 Kraft Gift Boxes.

Use the Holiday Mini for Valentines: Part 1

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!! I hope that everyone had a wonderful (and safe!) time last night ringing in the New Year. It's become a rather uneventful celebration in our house… my husband being a Youth Pastor is with the youth for a Lock In all night, and Mr. L's bedtime is quite earlier than midnight… so I celebrated among stamps! Can't complain about some time to myself…

The Holiday Mini Catalog ends in just a few days – January 4th to be exact! And while we all think of the Holiday Mini to cover Halloween through Christmas, it has a lots of wonderful items for Valentine's in addition to items that were meant for Halloween or Christmas, but can easily be used for Valentine's! So here's your first Valentine Holiday Mini project — and be sure to get your Holiday Mini Valentine Products ordered before they're gone forever!

ALY'S HELPFUL HINTS:

• I just adore the Night & Day Designer Series Paper in the Holiday Mini and will miss it dearly! If you haven't already ordered it, be sure to get a package before January 4th. While it was designed for Halloween, it's just so versatile and I love having black and white paper with no color. On this card, I used the Black and White Polka Dot paper from this package to stamp the Heart Image on to add a little bit more pizzaz to the image.
• Both stamps on this card come from stamp sets in the Holiday Mini. The heart from "Sweet Centers" was designed to coordinate with our Sweet Treat Cups, and the Valentine Greeting come from the extremely versatile greeting set "Grateful Greetings"
• The ribbon I used is part of the holiday Mistletoe Ribbon Originals pack. When you look at the two ribbons together they DO look like Christmas, but when you look at each one separately you have to fabulous individual ribbons good for any holiday or occasion.
• It's very hard to see, even in the enlarged photo shown here, but if you look closely to where the arrow is pointing, I used the perforating tool on the Cutting Kit to create an "x" behind the Sweet Treat Cup so that the recipient can just break open the back to get to the candy without ripping apart the card.

WHAT TO ORDER:

Sweet Centers Stamp Set (116521), 1 3/4" Circle Punch (112004), Sweet Treat Cups (116802), Grateful Greetings Stamp Set (116511), Night & Day Specialty Paper (116768), Mistletoe Ribbon Originals (116792), Real Red Classic Ink Pad (103133), Basic Black Classic Ink (101179), Neutrals 12×12 Textured Cardstock (108693), Whisper White Cardstock (106529), Cutter Kit (106958)
