Today, we are going to surprise you with different ideas!!  I made for you today, three paper ornaments!  I actually love making ornaments for my tree.  While I love seeing big, beautiful trees with all the large, sparkly ornaments, I cannot justify spending a lot of money on Christmas ornaments for these reasons: 1. I am a klutz. 2. They are glass. 3. They will break. 4. I have two cats that like to bat things around. 

Every year, I try to make a few paper ornaments for my tree. These are fun, can be as fancy as you want, don't break and are easy to store!!  

I made these using the Bunch of Stitched Doily Dies for the base of the ornament. Then used various stamps and dies to decorate them.

I used the Number Fun Dies & Add Ons Set for the "25", the Hot Chocolate Season Stamp and Die set for the mugs and candy canes as well as the More Stitched Edges Dies to create hills and ledges!  The Doily dies are perfect for ornaments as they provide a place to loop the twine!  I do back each ornament with a second die cut for stability.

What's nice about a project like this is that you don't have to worry about filling up an entire card front!  It's a small area so you can use your smaller stamps and dies, as well!!  Also, a lot of the fun is in adding the details like sequins, glitter and shine.

I really hope you are inspired to try making some paper ornaments!!  Now onto the super fun giveaway for today!!!

Today, we will be showcasing some quick and easy treat holders!! As you know, Emma carries a lot of cute and unique treat holder dies in her shop. I chose to use the Mini Gift Box Die. If you're looking for quick and easy, this one is it!! With only one pass through your die cutting machine, and technically no adhesive required, this come together fast!!

I kept these very simply, both were cut from plain, white cardstock. I die cut the treat box from patterned paper as well, and adhered it over one of the boxes.  

To jazz things up a bit, I used the Number Fun Dies and Add Ons Set to die cut the number 25.  After the number were adhered to the boxes, I decided it needed a heart as well which comes from the Hot Chocolate Season Stamp and Die set and is the perfect sized heart for almost anything!!

I love the cute boxes this die creates! I can actually imagine them hanging from a tree as well!

Thank you for visiting and remember...

My Creative Time's 5 Days of Christmas...Day One!!

Hello & welcome to our "5 Days of Christmas"! This week we will be sharing with you LOTS of last minute Christmas ideas, such as cards, tags, treat holders, gift card holders & what ever else comes to mind that will help YOU get your creative juices flowing for the holidays!

Today is our 1st day of our 5 Days of Christmas! We all will be showcasing some quick & EASY tags!

Tag are one of my favourite things to make! And I had a lot of fun with this one!!

I used the scalloped tag from the Tag Dies Set to create this card. I die cut 2 and glued them together to give stability but also so the lovely stitching detail would be on both sides. I went for a vintage look by adding some burlap cardstock. I've had this stuff for years and just rediscovered it! I die cut the largest star from the 3 Star Stitched Die Set (which I've been using a lot lately) from the burlap as well as partially cut the tag die to have a bit of a topper on the tag.

For a bit of shine, I die cut the medium star from some gold cardstock and layered the two together. To bring the festive element in, I die cut a flower and leaves from the Stitched Pretty Flower and Leaves Dies and used Distress Inks to add colour.

The sentiment comes from the recently released Just A Little Something Stamp and Die Set. I used the same Distress Ink (Barn Door) to stamp it. Because Distress Ink doesn't stamp all that well, I used my Mini Misti so I could do multiple impressions. I also stamped the "to" and "from" on the reverse side of the tag.

Although, this wasn't super quick to make, it came together easily! And would look great on any gift!
