Did I say Christmas again???

 
   Here is another vintage feel Gift box I made with JustRite's new Christmas stamps Noel Christmas Ornaments and Christmas Antique Labels One I stamped them with red ink and then colored the ornament with copic markers.I used the spellbinders ornament die to cut out the ornament and I hand cut the Merry Christmas label. I added it to the top of the ornament with foam tape. I die cut the poinsettia's using a spellbinders die and then sponging them with red ink before taking it out of the die. I also edged them with a sponge to give them a vintage feel.
     I die cut the box with an Accucut die. I then stamped the box with versa mark ink on JustRite's Shabby Music  background stamp.
  I hope you like my deep wine and green vintage feel gift bag.

Christmas is in the air ...


     How about a fun and inexpensive Treat bag for the Holidays? I used a small lunch bag and ran it through a sizzix snowflake embossing folder.I die cut a topper for the bag with a sizzix die also and then ran it through the same snowflake embossing folder. I rubbed the bag topper with a sponge and red ink to make the snowflakes pop. I stamped the frame from Christmas Antique Labels one  in green ink and die cut it with the spellbinders die made for JustRite Nested oval madallian Labels.I then stamped the Merry Christmas from the same Christmas Antique Labels one in red ink and hand cut it out.I edged it with a sponge and red ink as well as the green frame I die cut.I attached it with foam tape to raise it up a bit. The completed die cut was then attached to the bag topper.and a 1/4" green dot ribbon was added at the top of the bag topper.These could easily be mass produced for a bunch of fun and easy Holiday gifts for those you want to give a little something to. I love the vintage feel of this stamp set so fun for Holiday gift giving.
     Thanks for stopping in to see my 2nd project for JustRite's Christmas challenge.

Christmas really?? It is a Justrite Challenge

 I love a challenge and Justrite has a fun Christmas one going on right now. Here is my take on a gift box I die cut with an Accucut die Convertables box #1 It is nice for a big cookie or some homemade bark candy.
I covered the top of the box with a piece of printed paper. I then stamped the ornaments and die cut the ornaments I used the Spellbinders dies that work with this set. I used momento Rhubarb ink and then colored them with copic markers and stamped the sayings with the green ink to pull it all together. I edged them with a sponge and the red ink to give a vintage feel. ( I love doing this) I misted the cover and ornaments with a shimmer spray. I made some small bows from a sheer green ribbon and attached the on top of the ornaments. I attached the ornaments with foam tape to the top of the box.I added a touch or bling with a glitter pen I also did this on the snowflakes that were on the box. This is a very easy project that makes a little something gift into a you "shouldn't have gift".I just love making and giving home made gifts to show people how much I appreciate them and what they mean to our family.
I hope you enjoy my Christmas project and that it inspires you to get going on a few of your own.
