Christmas Treat Box

Hello!  I hope you all had a nice Thanksgiving.  I can't believe it's the 1st of December already!   

If you've been following Joy's Life Design Team blog this week, you've seen that we are featuring bags & boxes.  

I used the Cricut Imagine for my project.

The stamp I used came from Joy's Yummy Puns set.

  I love how it can be used all year round.  If you don't already have this set in your collection, you can get it here.

 I used the Mr. Frosty Imagine cartridge for the colors.  The bag is from Tags, Bags, Boxes and more on page 115.  I made it as big as it would fit on a 12x12 piece of paper.  The tree is one of the stock shapes the Imagine comes with.  I printed and cut 2 of them and layered for some interest. 

This was fairly easy to make.  They can be cranked out quickly if you need some last minute gifts or have a large group of people that you want to give something to.  

Well, I hope you enjoyed my little bag for today.  

Stick around...starting tomorrow, we'll be kicking off Joys Life's Happy Holidays Blog Hop! There will be plenty of great holiday ideas.

 I'll have some great blog candy for one lucky hopper.  Hope to see you!

Day Three Of Robin's Creative Cottage Stamp Release!

Hello, all!

Hope everyone is doing great! Glad you could join me for the third day of Robin's Stamp Release Week! It sure has been a lot of fun seeing all the projects the DT are coming up with!

For today's post, I am featuring the second set to be released, Robin's Gingerbread Holiday! It is full of nicely designed sayings and images! Perfect for holiday baking and gift giving! They are made from the highest quality photo polymer and are deeply etched so they make stamping SUPER easy!!!

I made treat bags using my Silhouette's Print and Cut Feature. (This sure is handy when you have to mass produce a project!) The paper and elements are from Echo Park's Everybody Loves Christmas digital pack. I just love their bright, happy colors!

Now for my pic! (These are a few of the 33 that I made for my nieces' class!)



Aren't they just SUPER fun? Here's a closeup of the bag topper. I used stickles and dimensional adhesive to give the flat paper some pizazz!



Robin's "Sweet Holiday" saying coordinates PERFECTLY with these Christmas smores!


Now for the deets:

The toppers are cut at 5x5 and scored in half
Red patterned paper is cut 4 7/8x 2 3/8
I grouped the trees, santa, and reindeer images in Silhouette Studio and then used the Print & Cut Feature
An extra Santa is also cut and highlighted with Stickles and pop up dots
Add Stickles to the reindeer's scarf and dimensionals to his nose to make it shiny
Print and Cut the labels, stamp saying with Barn Door from the Distress Ink line
Easy Peasy!!

Tomorrow, the second group of DT members will be posting their projects using this same rubber stamp set. (You may want to follow all the DT members blogs so you don't miss out on any of the fun!)

Be sure to join us on Friday for our first ever Blog Hop! Every DT member will have one stamp set from this release to give to lucky winners!!! Hope you can join us!
