Jingle All The Way

 Hello & Happy Saturday!

It's going to be a busy day with my Christmas Stamp Day w/ Friends get together early this morning then I will deliver Audrey's cards & treat to her! I will be happy when it's all finished and I can feel like I can breath again!

Here is another fun & easy Christmas treat that I whipped up using Stampin Up!'s retired Love You Always Treat boxes. I have several packs of these that I snagged off the Clearance Rack because they are a nice, sturdy box and they hold alot.

Of course, I could have decorated these with poinsettia's or any greens related to Christmas but I wanted to keep these for the kids since they have the individual packs of the Holiday Oreo Cookies in & a pack of Holiday Jr Mints. These would make great stocking stuffers as well! I know Audrey likes the treats for the little ones so that is why I made these for the youngsters.

Project Details:

Stamps: Penguin Place (retired 2022), Holly Jolly Wishes (retired 2021)

Ink: Real Red, Basic Black Archival (retired), Pumpkin Pie, Shaded Spruce

Cardstock: Real Red, Basic White, Heartwarming Hugs DSP (retired)

Accessories: Penguin Builder Punch (retired), Circle Layering Framelits (retired), Real Red Linen Ribbon (retired), Jingle Bells (retired), Holiday Rhinestones (retired), Glue Dots, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I have SO much of the Heartwarming Hugs DSP that it will most likely take me a long time to use it up! I earned a whole package of it 2 years ago from my uplines upline that I have not even cut into yet! It is nice paper for Christmas with it's traditional colors so I will continue to work thru using it up.

Do you remember the Love You Always Treat Boxes? I just love them because they can fit some bigger sweets in. I did some using the Little Debbie Strawberry Jelly Rolls. Yummy!

Well, I better get myself ready for a busy day ahead!

Tomorrow we are to have a very rainy day! Warm (60 degrees) but rainy! Then the winds are to kick up and by Monday morning we may get a quick blast of snow. 

Tis the season!

Hello & Happy Thursday!

Today I am sharing another treat box that I made using the cute Penguin Place bundle. This was probably my most 2nd favorite set this holiday season.

They are pretty big and hold alot of candy. These have Reese's PB Trees, Milky Way, 3 Muskateers, Twix and a Snickers in. I probably could have gotten 1 or 2 more pieces in!

Accessories: Circle Layering Framelits, Stitched Shapes Framelits, Penguin Builder Punch, Banner Punch (retired), Rhinestones, White Glittered Ribbon, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

My pictures aren't all that great.

I sure hope Santa brings me a new camera!

 Good Morning & Happy Thursday!

A nice day is on tap here with lots of sunshine and temps in the 50's!

I will take it as we have cooler air coming tomorrow.

Today I have my 5th Christmas Slimline card to share.

These were for a good friend and she wanted 4 for adults and 4 for kids.

I already shared the ones for the adults. These are for the kids...

I sure hope Santa brings me a new camera because the pictures with my phone are sometimes wonky and out of focus.

I pulled out the Penguin Place stamp set and coordinating Penguin Builder Punch to create this one.

Such a fun and most adorable stamp set!

Penguin Place Candy Bars

 Hello & Happy Tuesday!

Today I am going to give my hands a rest and do some baking for Thanksgiving.

A Pumpkin Roll and a Pumpkin Pie are on the agenda.

I've been up since about 2:30 am due to my hands aching/hurting and already had 2 cups of coffee to get myself moving.

The shower is calling but first I have to wait on the towels in the dryer.

Then afterwards I will start baking and most likely I will need a nap before noon! LOL

I wanted to share a sweet treat that I made for Christmas. If you have followed me for a few years you know I always love making my Candy Bar Wrappers. This is the first I made them for a couple years though. I paired it up with my Penguin Place bundle and the SaleABration paper, Penguin Playmates DSP.

Project Details:

Stamps: Penguin Place

Ink: Basic Black Archival (retired), Misty Moonlight, Pumpkin Pie, Fresh Freesia, Just Jade

Cardstock: Misty Moonlight, Fresh Freesia, Basic White, Penguin Playmates DSP (SAB 21)

Accessories: Circle Layering Framelits, Penguin Builder Punch, Banner Punch (retired), Paper Crimper, 1 3/8 Circle Punch (retired), Fresh Freesia Ribbon, Rhinestones, Glue Dots, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

Lots of fussy cutting on these (just the packages) and thankfully I only made 6!

These will make a wonderful gift to a neighbor or mail person.

Also a great stocking stuffer, too!

I love the penguins this year!

I'm happy to say that all my Christmas candy treats are finished!

WooHoo!
