    More Christmas in July ~ Cards and 3-D Giftables

    How often have you needed an easy, cute gift or card around the Holidays? I know for me it's often enough that this year I've decided to be prepared for it. I put together this cute Hot Cocoa holder and spoon kit for just such an occasion!

     

    I just used the Top Note Die, glued two of them together with my favorite adhesive, Tombo Multi Glue, stamped "Merry" from the Pennant Parade stamp set on the wooden spoon, added a few simple embellishments, and VIOLA! A cute little giftable. 

    Supplies:
    Stamps:
    Ornament Keepsakes (Wood~128048, Clear~128051)
    Paper:
    Cherry Cobbler CS (119685)
    Crumb Cake CS (120953)
    Ink:
    Versamark (102283)
    Fun Tools:
    Big Shot (113439)
    Ornament Keepsakes Framelit Dies (127816)
    Top Note Bigz Die (113463
    Embellishments:
    Cherry Cobbler Bakers Twine (123125)
    Early Espresso Bakers Twine (123124)
    Iridescent Ice Stampin' Emboss Powder (101930)

    Here are a few cute, easy, fast cards.



    Supplies:
    Stamps:
    Snowflake Soiree (Wood~127922, Clear~127925)
    Paper:
    Season of Style DSP (132340)
    Cherry Cobbler CS (119685)
    Crumb Cake CS (120953)
    Chocolate Chip CS (102128)
    Gumball Green CS (126840)
    Ink:
    Chocolate Chip (126979)
    Fun Tools:
    Merry Mini's Punch Pack (126882)

    Embellishments:

    Rhinestone Basic Jewels (119246)


    This next cutie was easy-peasy, as far as putting it together! I don't have a lot of money for supplies, so consumable products are used sparingly at my house. That cute little button was made with the new Simply Pressed Clay, found in the new 2013-2014 Catalog, with the Buttons Clay Molds. This means I can make LOTS of buttons for a fraction of the price of buying buttons! {LOVE THIS}!!!
