Christmas Pillow Boxes

 Hello & Happy Monday!

Hope you all had a nice weekend! It sure got COLD here!

I think winter has arrived, unfortunately.

Today I want to share with you some of the Christmas treats I made this year. 

I found this pack of Pillow Boxes that came out earlier this year in the Spring Mini Catalog with the Bee Mine Suite. I never used them and since I am trying to clean out my drawers and use up things I decided to use these for treats this holiday. 

Project Details:

Stamps: Snowy Wonder, Itty Bitty Christmas (retired)

Ink: Real Red, Garden Green, Memento Black, Real Red Stampin Blends

Cardstock: Basic White Real Red, Snowy Scenes DSP

Accessories: Snowy Wonder Dies, Circle Layering Framelits (retired), Classic Label Punch (retired), Star Enamel Dots (retired), Rhinestones, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

My penguins were diecut from the DSP which makes things go much faster. I love having that option! Each pillow box is filled with 2 of those Festive Oreo Cookies that I found at Target. I made 10 of these.

So, Shawn has been on vacation since the Friday before Thanksgiving and today he went back to work. We did alot during his time off. Lots of shopping and lots of decorating. We cooked Thanksgiving dinner together and watched alot of Hallmark Christmas movies! I almost hated to send him back to work but life has to go back to normal, right?! Today is my cleaning day and my house majorly needs it! Ryan does his darndest to stay out of my way until I am done which I do appreciate. I will be happy when I can actually relax after all that!

 I hope that you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving/weekend.

Thanksgiving Pillow Boxes

Good Morning & Happy Thursday!

Quite the cold morning here in south central PA!

Burrrr!

Thankfully the temps are headed up into the 40's today! 

Yesterday it was around freezing most of the day. 

I didn't mind it too much as I ran my oven most of the day baking my neck pumpkins.

The pumpkin is now sitting in the strainer draining the water off.

I will measure it out and put into the freezer later to make pies & pumpkin rolls!

Miss Gigi continues to do superb!

Took her last pain pill and anti inflammatory meds yesterday.

Eating and running around like a crazy girl!

I'm thankful that everything went well with her procedure.

Today I am sharing a Thanksgiving treat that I whipped up one rainy day!

I have several packs of Stampin Up Pillow Boxes.

They are white polka dots on Kraft cardstock.

I changed the color of them using Terracotta Tile inkpad and a sponge brayer.

I left them dry about an hour then decorated them!

While they were drying I did my stamping & diecutting...

My sentiment was stamped in Cajun Craze and diecut with the Stitched Rectangle Framelits.

The piece of woodgrain paper is from the Come to Gather DSP and I diecut that with the Stitched Nested Dies. My beautiful leaves are from the Gather Together set and diecut with the coordinating Gathered Leaves Dies. I had in my stash some Copper Cord from years ago so I tied a bow and added it to my sentiment panel.

Project Details:

Stamps: A Wish for Everything, Gather Together

Ink: Cajun Craze, Terracotta Tile

Cardstock: Whisper White, Cajun Craze, Terracotta Tile, Copper Foil Paper, Come to Gather DSP

Accessories: Pillow Boxes, Sponge Brayer, Gather Leaves Dies, Stitched Rectangle Framelits, Stitched Nested Dies, Terracotta Tile Scalloped Linen Ribbon, Copper Cord (retired), Glue Dots, Dimensionals, 2 Sided Tape, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

Alot of work went into these but I was so thrilled with them once they were finished!

I filled these with the bite sized Twix, 3 Muskateer, Milky Way & a Snickers candy bars.

The Pillow Boxes are an awesome way to to fancy up and give a treat or even cash or a gift card inside! 

I made 6 of these and hopefully I priced them to sell!
