Hi Stamping Friends!

It's the last day to register for my Birthday Card Organizer class coming up tomorrow and there are only 2 spots left!  Let me know by 5pm today if you want one of the remaining kits!

It's Sunday Showcase time!  Today I'm sharing some fun little gift ideas for friends, co-workers, teachers and family!  Let's take a look!

Created by Peggy Tassler.  CASEd from Brenda Quintana at Qbee's Quest.

#1 Hershey's Kisses Tree—How can you go wrong with a Christmas tree made of Hershey's Kisses?!  With just a few strips of card stock, some strategic folding, and some Real Red Woven Ribbon, Peggy created an adorable little gift that's nearly too cute to eat!  It's free-standing, so it's perfect as a little favor at a holiday place-setting.  The kisses are wedged in there pretty tightly, so no need to worry about them falling out.

See the complete tutorial at Qbee's Quest.

#2 Scallop Tree Triangle Box—Kathe designed this darling treat holder using the heavy-duty Under The Tree Designer Series Paper.  Each of the sides are scored and cut with the Large Scallop Edgelit.  Add some candy and a ribbon hanger before adhering the final side with Sticky Strip, and it becomes a festive ornament! 

Kathe drew up a template with the measurements and score lines to help you make your own.  Download Kathes Scallop Tree Box Template

Also features: Champagne Glimmer Paper, Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack star, Real Red Woven Ribbon.

#3 All Is Calm Ghirardelli Chocolate Pouch—Janet created a sweet envelope pouch that is the perfect size to fit both Ghirardelli Chocolates and tea bags.  The pouch is made with the Envelope Punch Board. Start with a 5" x 5" piece of All Is Calm Designer Series Paper and score on all sides at 2-1/2".  Visit Sharing Creativity & Company to see how to assemble the tuck-closure with the help of the Modern Label Punch.

The bow is also made with the Envelope Punch Board.  See a handy tutorial for the bow at We R Memory Keepers.

The embellishment shown is now retired, but you could substitute the All Is Calm Snowflake Embellishments from the current Holiday Catalog.

#4 Trim The Tree Ghirardelli Minis Pouch—Have you seen the Ghirardelli Minis?  These bite-size chocolates were the inspiration for Darla's mini treat pouch! 

Instructions: Cut a 4" x 5" piece of Trim The Tree DSP Stack paper, score at 3/4", 2-1/4", 3", and 4-1/2".  Sticky Strip together, snip the flaps on the bottom to fold them in, then scrunch the top and tie closed with a Real Red Woven Ribbon.  The band at the bottom is 1/2" x 5".  The tag is from the Curvy Keepsakes Thinlits and the jewel is colored with Cherry Cobbler Blendabilities Marker!

Also features: 7/8" Scallop Circle Punch and Linen Thread.

Created by Kathe Madsen.

#5 Holiday Home Petite Café Bag—Dress up the Petite Café Gift Bags with a festive Christmas scene from the Holiday Home stamp set and you've got yourself a super-cute, super-easy gift for your neightbors!  The bags are poly-lined and food safe, so just add some cookies, candies, chocolate covered pretzels, or whatever, for a thoughtful, affordable gift!

Also features: Trim The Tree DSP Stack and Banners Framelits.

Created by Rita Berning.

#6 All Is Calm Curly Paper Ornament—Here's an easy-to-make, pretty keepsake gift that your family and friends can enjoy year after year!  Rita curled 1/4" strips of All Is Calm Designer Series Paper (use up those scraps!) and stuffed them inside a glass ornament from a local craft store. 

Look closely and you can see that she hung an All Is Calm Snowflake Embellishments from some 1/8" Silver Ribbon that dangles above the paper curls. You can also see some Frosted Sequins snowflake confetti floating on the bottom, too!  Thread it with some matching Lost Lagoon Silky Taffeta Ribbon and it's ready to hang on the tree!
