Teresa - Mint Twist Christmas Organiser
Hiya! Teresa here with a cute little Christmas organiser that's so easy to whip up, you could make several to give away to a group of friends.
It's essentially a little concertina book, with pockets added to hold lists and receipts. The one I made ends up being just slightly larger than a playing card, so it can fit easily inside a handbag. I used one sheet of Mint Twist jingle paper, and a couple of sheets of white A4 cardstock.
Here's the front of it, all tied up with a couple of different ribbons:

The little elf on the front is a StampIt image, and has been coloured with Copic markers to match the papers.
Here's a look at the inside:
Each panel of the concertina book is decorated with a panel from the Jingle paper. I used a contrasting pattern for the front of the pockets - it was all so easy using the one sheet of paper.
Here's how it looks with receipts and lists tucked into the pockets:
This would look awesome in any of the five Christmas ranges KaiserCraft have provided this year. Just look for the sheets with the 12 panels on them.

Nichole - Mint Twist 3D Popup Presents!
Hi Everyone! Nichole here with a new Christmas card using the Kaisercraft Mint Twist Collection.
This vibrant, fun collection uses traditional as well as non traditional hues to celebrate the magic of Christmas!
This card was cut from plain white card stock with a Silhouette Cameo using a pattern found from the Silhouette store. Kaisercraft Mint Twist 6x6" paper was adhered to the front and trimmed by hand with scissors.
Closeup of the font. This collections' cute retro styled theme takes in traditional Christmas images as well as mixing in non-traditional colours for a special POP of cheeriness.
Santa and greeting are from the Kaisercraft Collectables.
Ho ho ho - Merry Christmas! Kaisercraft Pearls in Red and Pink were added to the front in random areas, letting the garland pop in areas.
A cute bow from baker's twine keeps it all tied together until it's ready to be unwrapped!
Unwrap up the card by untieing the bow and a whole new scene is inside! These presents stack neatly in the centre and really POP out at you.
Present trio closeup from the side. Presents from the Collectables were added on either side of the shutter fold presents. The presents were cut from more Kaisercraft Mint Twist using the Silhouette Cameo pattern.
Red bow and ribbon is cut from red cardstock using the same pattern and ran through the Silhouette Cameo.
Merry Christmas greeting is stamped on the inside with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink using Hero Arts Christmas greetings.
Card from the side shows how the folds all compact down into one.
Thanks for reading and hope everyone is enjoying the run-up to the Holidays.

Nichole Parker - Mint Twist Hanging Card
Hi Everyone! Nichole here with a Christmas Card with a Twist - Kaisercraft Mint Twist!
Christmas is just around the corner and a perfect time to get started on Christmas Cards. What better way to make a convenient way to display cards than to have them hanging from the Christmas Tree?
"Merry Christmas" Greeting and Santa are from the Kaisercraft Mint Twist Collectables and are popped up on 3D Foam Adhesive Squares.
The card can hang from hooks or pins, and can even be hung on the Christmas Tree or from the fireplace! Last year I gave hanging cards to all my family and close friends and they enjoyed being able to display the card with their ornaments.
Thanks for looking and reading. Hope the start of your Spring has been a great one! Remember that Summer and Christmas is just around the corner.

This card was constructed using a single A4 piece of white card stock, scored and folded in half. From there, the card stock was adhered with temporary adhesive and was cut on a Slice 12x12 Glass Cutting mat using a circle cutting tool using a 5" circle. The perimeter was stamped with snowflakes in Tsukinkeo Memento Ink in Bahama Blue.
A second circle was cut from the Kaisercraft Mint Twist Paper Pad using a 4 1/16" circle and adhered in the middle.

The packages that Santa is holding is from the Kaisercraft Mint Twist Acrylic Stamps, stamped in Tsukineko Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored in with Copic Markers in G07, R29, YG03 and a Clear Blender 0 to give depth. Santa's greeting is stamped and cut using Dienamics Say What Speechbubbles, and Hero Arts Christmas Messages.
The card is hanging from a festive Queen&Co Red and White Twine, and knotted inside the card fold.
