Christmas 2022 - It's a Wrap!

 Merry Christmas!

We have 6 inches of snow and temps around 6 degrees.  It's cold but at least we have a white Christmas.  I wanted to take a minute to show you some "gift boxes" I made for my family.  We can't get together today due to weather and Covid, but at least I thought I could take the pics before I forget.

I watched The Posh Paper Lady create these beautiful tea caddies but I kept thinking of other ways to use them.  Here is her video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rlR0021jZTI&t=653s

She has amazing ideas and I love the simplicity in which she creates!  Enjoy and have fun making your own caddies to use how you wish.  If you go to her channel make sure you tell her I sent you!

I am using mine to hold Gift Cards and Hot Cocoa Bombs!  They turned out adorable!

These area addictive to make!  I hope you enjoy her video and create some of your own!

Have a wonderful day!

My Creative Time Tag it Tuesday!

 As I share in my Youtube Video linked below, elaborate bows

are cute but if you have to mail a package, they just don't work.  Guess what does?

A Tag!  I love creating tags.  I've tied them on to a plain white or Kraft gift bag and they are adorable and someone always compliments me.  I've even used them as cards before.  With the holidays fast approaching, I always want some extra tags on hand to use for those last minute gifts.

MCT Products used:

Clouds, Slopes & Snowflakes stencil

Square Tag Die

From my stash I used my Stickles, Twine, Black & White Checkered ribbon

My Creative Time Day 4 - 5 Days of Christmas - Gift Card Holders

 Welcome to our 4th day of 5 Days of Christmas!  Today we all will be showcasing some quick and EASY Gift Card Holders!

As I share in my video below, I give more gift cards than anything else.

My local grands are older and they want to pick out their own stuff!  My littles (who I love to shop for) live so far away I never know what they want or need so usually I end up shopping with them when I go to visit them in California.  I have found having spare gift cards on hand really saves my bacon (if you know what I mean) at the last minute.

Emma has beautiful gift card holder dies but I wanted to give you an option to create on on the fly and use her dies and sentiments to decorate it.  All details of how I created this card holder are in the video.

By slipping on a belly band that's holding the snowflake, it closes beautifully.
