Chimney box - for Santa

 A cute little box that I tried this morning. Thinking of adding some batting to create a smoke effect on top or some peppermint candies.  

Rudolph the red nose Reindeer

How cute is this Rudolph !  Great cutting file and was easy to put together the layers.  I added red stickles to make the nose "glow".  Now to try the girl verision - Clarise.  This would be so cute on gift bags, a banner or on a table as place cards.   

My Peppermint Patty Treats...

 How fun are these !!! I made these to hold a peppermint patty or a Ghiradelli chocolate.  Thinking I could have done a real small candy cane for the snowman.  Twigs for arms and a touch of bling.  Good idea to make multiples...

Santa hat & Stocking

 Cute boxes that were not bad to put together.  I added some jingle bells, trims and ribbons.... the pine is from Tim Holtz's new die set.

An old fashioned Christmas ....

I am in Christmas mode in my craft room these days. I pulled out some of Tim Holtz and Sizzix dies to create this card. The holly branch is from the new set out this year.  A great basic for lots of projects for years to come. My inspiration came from the  Bingo card  that  made me think of Christmas from days gone by.  I added some sparkle to the chipboard and the holly berries.  The bottom read strip is box pleated red paper with a strip of glitter down the middle. I have some new dies that have holiday words that I want to try out next.

Poinsetta box card..

  This turned out so much nicer than I expected.  This picture doesn't do it justice. I added gold glitter to the middle and tips of the flowers.  I also added a gold center to my flowers to add some dimension.  I have a whole bag of these gold raised dots that I bought on clearance at a craft store years ago.  Nice to be able to use them.

Side shot to show the dimension.  Thinking I need to make a couple of these.

Halloween 2014....

  I am over the moon about this card. The eyes, mouth and stars are cut out so the ivory you see if from the interior of the card.  There is an added embossed layer on the moon that really added to its dimension.
