Fancy Favor Christmas Boxes

Here's another Big Shot Club project we'll be doing in this week's workshop.  This month we are focusing mostly on the Sizzlits Decorative Strip dies, so we've decorated these fancy favor boxes with the Join In The Cheer Sizzlits Decorative Strip die (it wraps around the whole box).  We've added a couple stamped holly images from the Tags Til Christmas set .

12 Days 'til Christmas Countdown Wall Hanging

Kira designed this great 12 days until Christmas countdown wall hanging using the scallop envelope die, Tags 'til Christmas and Word Play stamp sets, Deck the Halls DSP, and a variety of other great products (punches, ribbon, and texture plates, oh my!). 

Do Not Open 'til Christmas

What's in the box?  Holiday greetings, of course!  Here it is on Black Friday, and what better way to package up those great deals than in a beautiful handmade box.  Or, these are a perfect size for homemade treats - a stack of delicious cookies or yummy white chocolate popcorn!  The possibilities are endless.  We got this great idea from Chiaki Haverstick at stampingpro.com  She even listed directions for making the box, and our favorite part was that she made the lid using the scallop square die for the Big Shot!  Our box incorporates the Jolly Holiday DSP (which is currently available in a bundle with the Contempo Christmas stamp set for 20% off!) and the stamp is from the Tags 'til Christmas set.  You better get busy with your holiday preparations now, it's never too soon! 

Naughty or Nice?

Well, according to one of our favorite stamps from the Tags 'til Christmas set, "even the naughty deserve something nice", it wouldn't matter.  This card design idea came from Patty Bennett's website, and is just a 4 1/4" x 11" piece of cardstock scored at 4 1/4" and 8 3/4".  The word window punch is used to make the gift card holder.  We used sticky strip to attach the sides of the inside (or bottom) section; however, Patty's opened all the way up to reveal the sentiment.  The santa suit tag is another one of the great stamps in the Tags 'til Christmas set.  The saying "Some things must be believed to be seen" comes from the Just Believe stamp set.  The 2" scalloped square inside is from the scallop squares duo die from the Holiday mini catalog.  Eventhough this card says otherwise, we recommend maximizing the kindness you receive this holiday season by being nice! 

6"x6" Christmas Scrapbook Pages

These awesome 6"x6" Christmas scrapbook pages use the Celebrations DSP and lots of other fun stuff like the Tags 'til Christmas, Word Play, and Grateful Greetings stamp sets.  A variety of punches were used for the images.  We MAY be scheduling a class to do these, so let us know if you like them, and we'll see if we can fit them in to our schedule.

It's SEW Easy!

Well, yes, it would be 'SEW EASY' if we knew how to sew!!!  OK, so we cheated and used strips of the new Big Shot multipurpose adhesive sheets to adhere two scalloped squares cut out of the new Designer Fabric using the Big Shot!  "It cuts material", you ask?  OF COURSE, the Big Shot cuts over 50 different types of materials (check with us for the list).  We agree that it would be a quick project for those of you who sew, as you could whip many of these out in minutes!  What a great gift idea!  There is one of our medium flat cello bags tucked inside filled with snack sized Hershey bars, and tied up with our coordinating ribbon.  Each of our Designer Fabric bundles have three designs, all of which coordinate perfectly with the Designer Series Paper of the same name.  The striped material is from the Candy Cane Christmas bundle, and the other one is from the Deck the Halls bundle.  The tags were stamped using our new Tags til Christmas set in the Holiday mini catalog.  The Tags til Christmas set makes it easy, as all of the images coordinate with punches!  This is another project that we'll be doing in our Big Shot club this month.
