Bird Ornaments

This was another gift that I made for Christmas. I made a set of three of these based on a set that Jennifer Gallacher had made and shared on Two Peas. I made them for my Grandma, who has recently moved into a nursing home. I thought they might give her some joy to see them hanging in her room. This is a picture of one of the set I made. I used the same paper for all of them, just used different color buttons for the wings. I found the pattern for the bird on a website, can't remember where now. Thanks for looking.

Supplies: Basic Gray (pattern paper, buttons), Provo Craft (Swiss Dots embossing folder), Karen Foster (Scrapper's Floss) ribbon, ink.

Christmas Gift Tag Tins

This was another project I made this year. They were gifts for Natalie's daycare teachers. The idea came from a Papertrey Ink project that Nichole had posted on her blog. This tag tin is towards the bottom of her post. I went with shapes cut from my Cricut instead of stamping though. I thought they turned out pretty cute, hopefully Natalie's teachers will find a use for them.


Supplies: Bo Bunny (dot cardstock), Marvy Uchida (punch), Cricut with Christmas Cheer cartridge.

Christmas Gifts

It's been AGES since I posted! I have been busy with some crafts, just haven't had time to post anything with all of the Christmas shopping, baking and planning going on!

This project is what I did for my coworkers. I actually did the cups and cocoa cones for the local people and just the cocoa cones with the snowman tag for the out of town people. I found the idea from Lauren Meader's blog project. I love the snowman set that she used, but I had to improvise since I decided on this project too late to order the set from Papertrey Ink. Instead I found this snowman stamp by Savvy Stamps at Archivers and it was even half price! I used some Stickles to make a little snowfall around the snowman. I absolutely love this ribbon, it is the Bazzill Basics ribbon. After making 8 cups/cones and 7 additional cones, I still have a ton of it left!

Supplies: Bo Bunny (green dot cardstock), Savvy Stamps (snowman stamp), Bazzill Basics (ribbon), Stickles, EK Success (punches), Target (insulated cups)
