What I made for Christmas

This year I decided to make Christmas gift tags for gifts for my friends at the office. I gave them with 5 different designs: Rudolph; Santa, dove; mitten; and, Christmas tree. I later came up with a 6th design which didn't make it into the gifts this year.

This tag was made using:

• Stampin' Up! 2 Step Bird Punch
• Stampin' Up! Little Leaves Sizzlit Die
• Stampin' Up! Two Tags Bigz Die
• Fiskars Threading Water Border Punch
• dimensional dots

This mitten was made with:

• Sizzix Originals Mitten & Tassels die
• Sizzix Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, Dots.

The Christmas tree uses:

• Cricut Doodlecharms Cartridge
• Studio G Glitter Glue
• The Punch Bunch Big Sky Flake

 Rudolph was made with:

• Cricut Doodlecharms Cartridge
• Large red glitter from the dollar store
• White pom pom
• Black rhinestone eyes

This is the tag that didn't make it into the gifts this year. It's made using:

• Stampin' Up! 2 Step Bird punch
• Stampin' Up! Little Leaves die 
• Stampin' Up! Ornament punch
• dimensional dots

Santa was made with:

• Cricut Doodlecharms Cartridge
• Dazzling Diamonds Stampin' Glitter
• dimensional dots

The stocking shape came from the Cricut Doodlecharms cartridge. I used a dimensional dot under the bow on the stocking.

I used stamps to decorate the envelopes.













I made two cards for Christmas. One is an ornament on leaves and the other is a front door.

Here you can see where I used dimensional dots under the ornament (on the right) and the door panels (below). I learned how to make the door card at one of the Stampin' Up! Club meetings held by Monica Reynolds.

I gave little milk cartons filled with Ghirardelli caramel squares and Hershey Irish Creme Kisses to my co-workers and Stampin' Up! club members. The milk cart is a Sizzix Bigz die from Stampin' Up! This is a better picture of the Stampin' Up! Ornament punch shape too.

I hope you enjoyed these.

I finally got the book and I'm loving the ideas! I haven't finished it yet but I think this will make a big difference with my efficiency, effectiveness, and neatness.


Based upon what I've learned so far, I'm going to re-organize my space according to how I work when I scrapbook. This will mean I'll need to move things around and get new storage. I'm using my A.C. Moore coupons to buy JetMax modular storage cubes.

I've took a quick visual inventory of my supplies and tools. Based upon this, I've decided upon the cubes I'll need which will be a mix of all of the styles that A.C. Moore has in stock. It won't be in this exact confirguration, but you get the idea.
