Quick and easy Christmas crafts

I decided that I needed to whip up a couple more items for this weekend's craft sale. These were super fast and easy. They'd make great teacher gifts, a little something extra to slip into a gift bag, or a little treat for someone, just because!
 These little peppermint patty trios are so cute, especial the gingerbread men. I am seriously loving the versatility of the Cookie Cutter Christmas stamp set and coordinating punch. So many possibilities, and the punch makes any project quick and easy (I also used the punch for the bowtie and hair bow). The sentiment with the gingerbread people is from the Christmas Magic set, (which is the same set that the snowman is from). The sentiment and the snowflake are from the Tin of Tags set.
These trees are ADORABLE, and I am so, so happy that I found a super easy tutorial online. Click here to check it out.. I've been poking around Qbee's Quest, and there are SO MANY ideas on the site, it's overwhelming. Brenda is amazingly talented, and I am so glad she takes the time to share her inspiration. I used regular kisses in some, peppermint in others, and in a couple, I used a mix. As an afterthought, I added the Warm Wishes and Mistletoe Kisses sentiment from Tin of Tags and a retired ornament punch. The trunks are two mini Hershey bars wrapped in brown paper.

If you'd like to learn how to make these quick and easy projects, or to order any of the items, please contact me!

Happy crafting.

12 Crafts of Christmas day 10- twist and close box

Image
 Today's project is a fun twist (ha!) on a gift box. While it looks challenging, it's really quite simple to put together, and all you need is cardstock, patterned paper, adhesive, a ruler and stylus or scoring tool. Trim 1/2 inch from your cardstock so you're left with an 8 1/2 x 10 1/2 piece. Score on the long edge at 2 1/2, 5, 7 1/2, and 10 inches. Score the short side at 2 1/2 inches, flip, and score the other side at 2 1/2 inches.  Mark one side as shown 1 1/4 inches from each score line, and score from the mark to the bottom corner. Fold and burnish to crease.  Cut the bottom of the box as shown to the bottom score line. Discard the small tab at the bottom.  Cut your patterned paper to 4 3/4 x 2 1/4. Run adhesive along the side and connect the two edges. Apply adhesive on the bottom edges and seal the box. Working from one side, pinch the top closed, and your box is done!  Check out the video here. Check out all of our projects as the 12 days continue here...
