Hi Stamping Friends!

I've received a couple of really cute holiday gifts that I just had to share with you! 

CASEd from Mary Fish at Stampin' Pretty.

The first one comes from Janet Shinn, who is a member of my Wow Techniques Stamp Club.  She created a cute little pocket card that holds a Ghirardelli Chocolate square.  Yum!

The front was decorated with the Festive Flurries stamps (wood) & Framelits in Island Indigo!  The silver paper she used is very shiny and is not Stampin' Up!, but you could easily substitute our Silver Foil Paper, or even heavy-duty aluminum foil if you wanted extra shine.  Either would look great embossed with the Perfect Print Texture Impressions Folder.  She added mini Rhinestone Jewels to every point for a super sparkly snowflake!

Bundle It & Save—Purchase the Festive Flurry stamps and framelits together as a Festive Flurry Bundle (wood) and save 15%.

The inside has a cute diagonal pocket and is stamped with a More Merry Messages (wood) greeting in Island Indigo.  I can't quite place where these little snowflakes are from, but they are stamped in Silver Encore Ink for more silver shine!  She added a 3-1/2" square piece of Island Indigo to the back of the pocket for contrasting color.  

Pocket Card Instructions:

• Start with a piece of 3-1/2" x 10-1/2" Whisper White card stock.
• Score along the long edge at 3-1/2" and 7".
• Cut diagonally from top of 7" score line to bottom right of the card stock. 
• Fold and use Sticky Strip to adhere the pocket in place.
• Decorate!

You can find a handy tutorial on this project by Mary Fish at her Stampin' Pretty blog.

What a fun and fast little gift to share with everyone you know this holiday season!

So, there's not a whole lot of stamping on this treat, but with all that chocolate, who cares!?!!  Rita Berning brought this cute little gift to our Too Cool Demo Team Meeting on Monday and we all were Ooooo-ing and Ahhhh-ing! 

This cute candy sleigh is all stuck together with Glue Dots or Sticky Strip.  It features candy canes for the blades, a KitKat bar for the bottom, and a pretty pyramid of Hershey's miniatures to fill out the sleigh.

It's adorned with a Tags 4 You (wood) tag, stamped in Real Red and punched with the Label Bracket Punch.  That's mounted on another punch from Silver Glimmer Paper which is cut in half and re-positioned to peek from the edgesl.  Topped off with some Rhinestone Jewels!

Bundle It & Save—Purchase the Tags 4 You stamps and Label Bracket Punch together as a Label Bracket Bundle (wood) and save 15%.
