12th Day of Christmas - Christmas Thank You Card

Merry Christmas everyone!! Welcome to the 12th and final day of Christmas. I created this very simple Christmas thank you card for use after all the gift exchanging is done. It seems I am using candy canes and marquees a lot this year. :) I Cuttlebugged this simple card using the Seeing Spots folder. The 'with' and 'appreciation' stamps are from Joy's Life.com's Everyday Occasions stamp set. The 'Christmas' stamp came from Micheal's. I used a white gel pen to doodle on the edges and inked the embossing with red ink. I made this card in a hurry, so you can see little flaws, but if I had wanted it perfect, I would have bought it at the store, right? :) Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!! ~Emma

The 10th Day of Christmas - Our Christmas Time Traditions Layout

Welcome to the 10th Day of Christmas!! I can't believe that it is Christmas Eve Eve already! :D LOL!! I made this Christmas layout using a bunch of different products. I used Storybook cut the Marquee cut and Christmas Cheer for the candy cane. The sticker words are from Doodlebug design. The pattern paper is from the All Seasons II stack from Hobby Lobby's Paper Studio. This is going to hold one of my family's Christmas card pictures that we do every year. One thing that I love about this layout is that it mixes traditional and non-traditional together. Of the two, non-traditional is my favorite. :) Come back tomorrow for a special guest designer. :D ~Emma

The 4th Day of Christmas

Hello everyone! Today, I am so excited to be guest designing for Karey of www.creativecraftcorner.com. Today is the 4^th day of Christmas out of 12. I made a handmade gift bag for Christmas that is so simple to do. All you need is patterned paper, cardstock, a brown lunch sack, and adhesive. So easy!

I used Christmas Cheer to cut the snowflake. The sentiment is from a Christmas collage sentiment paper. The torn pink paper is supposed to resemble non-traditional snow. After I decorated the bag, I put my gift in and tied it closed with ribbon. I used a single hole punch to punch two holes in the bag and then tie it with ribbon. This is perfect if you are running low on gift bags. I always have gift bags, so I don’t know why I chose to make this project.

A big thanks to Karey for allowing me to guest design on her blog (www.creativecraftcorner.com). Have an AMAZING holiday everyone!!

3x3 Christmas Cards For Day 3 of the 12 days of Christmas!!

Hello everyone! Welcome to the 3rd day of Christmas! Today I made 3x3 cards that are great for giving to your friends when a full size card will take too long. These are simple and quick to make. For the stocking and 'hohoho' card, I used Christmas Cheer to cut the decorations. The Christmas stamp card is a rubber stamp that I just cut around with pinking scissors. Also, there will be a giveaway on the Facebook page soon. I will announce it on here as well, so keep your eyes peeled. ;) ~Emma

The 1st Day of Christmas - Homemade Gift Tags

Hello everyone!! Welcome to the 1st day of Christmas in my 12 Days of Christmas event! ;) Today I am going to show you the gift tag design that I am going to use this year. I used a top-note shape that you can get from quite a few cartridges. I got mine from Gypsy Wanderings. The candy cane is from Christmas Cheer. I planned this out on my Gypsy to save paper. For the sentiment, I used a $1 stamp set from Michael's. Here is the tag design that I used last year:


For this tag, I used Tags, Bags, Boxes & More for the tag. The snowflake is from the Christmas/Noel cartridge. The stamp is from my stash of wooden stamps, so I don't know where I got it. :)

Also, my Facebook page just hit 75 fans! Woo-hoo! There will be a giveaway on there soon, so stay tuned! :) Until tomorrow, Merry Christmas! ~Emma

Holly Christmas Card

Hello everyone! I wanted to share a card that I made for a challenge from My Pink Stamper. I made it with a 'country-like' theme. I had a scrap of holly paper and decided to build my theme around that. The brown is a little bit 'non - traditional' as well, but I kind of like it. :) I cut the holly from Christmas Cheer at 2.5 inches. I'm thinking that I will use this card as a gift tag. Hope you all have a great day and come back soon for more fun projects! ~Emma

CHILLIN'!!

I made this card a while back just to try out some new things with my Gypsy when I first got it. I also incorporated a
challenge from the My Pink Stamper blog in it. The challenge was to include black, two shades of blue, and two shades of pink. I really love how this card turned out. Since it is snowing today here in Illinois I thought I would share this card. Hope you all liked it and I hope it gave a lift to your day! ~Emma
