12 Days of Christmas Day 8: Fleas Navidad

0 comments
Good Morning!

Here is day 8 of the 12 Days of Christmas.

I have all of my Christmas shopping done, and I am very excited about it because I an usually not this organized this early in December.  Usually, I am a last minute kind of girl...not this year!!  Now that I have my gifts, it's time to make the wrapping.

The four legged people in our family are just as important as the two legged ones.  So, we have all of the puppies (they're really dogs, but they will always be puppies to me) to give gifts for.  My oldest dog found her Christmas gift, and now she knows where it is and whines every time we go near the room.  She's too smart for her own good!

All of the gifts need cards, and what better cards than dog themed ones!!


This is a little 3x3 card to put atop a package.  I cut Old Olive cardstock, cut it 3x6, then folded it in half.  I cut the bones out of scraps of the merry moments designer series paper and glued them to the front of the card.  


For the opening, I positioned the bone die where I wanted it (at the angle) and ran the open card though the Big Shot.  Make sure it's open otherwise you'll cut out both sides of the card, and you don't want that.  

The white insert is cut at 2.75x2.75.  I adhered it to the inside of the cars.  To make sure it stamped perfectly, I closed the card and stamped the sentiment in versa mark ink to ensure the sentiment fit inside the bone.  These took me NO TIME to make.  It was really quick and simple.  


Then, I put cherry cobbler embossing powder on the sentiment and heat embossed it.  This could be cute for gift card holders or larger cards.  I absolutely love this set and am so excited I got a chance to use it.

I hope you enjoyed today's project!  Don't forget to tune in tomorrow for a new project!!  Happy crafting!!

12 Days of Christmas Day 6: Wanna Build a Snowman?

0 comments
Good Morning and Welcome to Day 6 of the 12 Days of Christmas!!!!

We are halfway through with our marathon of Christmas craftiness.  Today I have a CUTE quick and simple treat bag.  I gave this bag to my staff in order to continue to increase morale and get ready for the holidays.  I saw this idea on pinterest, and knew I had the perfect stamp set to create something.


Que the Frozen song here.  In the bag is all of the "fixins" needed to create a snowman.  Get it, "wanna build a snowman?"  hehe....


In the bag are three regular size marshmallows for the body, two mini marshmallows for the feet, pretzel sticks for the arms, chocolate chips for the buttons and eyes, and an orange tic tac for the nose.  See, then you can build your own snowman.  


The topper itself is 5x8, so when folded over the cello bag it is 5x4.  It's a little large for the bag, but it came out really cute, so it's okay to me.  You can make it less wide if you desire.  I used Cherry Cobbler paper with the merry and bright designer series paper.  


The snowmen were used from My Creative Time's stamp set Snow Buddies and the coordinating dies.  I used my copic markers to color the snowmen.  My coloring needs a little work, but I think it came out okay.  This was really the first time I have used my copic markers on a project where I tried to do some shading.  I also used crystal effects for the nose and eyes to give them a shinier look.  

Supplies Used
Snowflake Embossing Folder
Copic Markers

I hope you all enjoyed my treat bag!  Don't forget to come back tomorrow for Day 7!  Happy Crafting!

12 Days of Christmas Day 2: Naughty or Nice Lollypop Holder

0 comments
Good morning friends!

Welcome to day 2 of the 12 Days of Christmas with All Things Crafty.  Most of you thought I wouldn't make it to today, huh?

Today's project is another candy holder.  I used the Stitched Lollypop Holder from My Creative Time with Emma to put it together.  I love this die.  It is versatile and you can do so many things with it.  it is one of my all time favorites.


Man oh man was this project easy!  As you can see below, I just created an assembly line.  I cut out all of the lollypop holders, used stickles to create the "fur" of the santa coat.  Emma does other Santa projects and uses a liquid applique that make the fur puffy and more fur-like.  I didn't have any on hand, so I just used what I had.  Then, I used glossy accents for the belt to make it look like a leather belt.  

Then, I just used the stitched scalloped circle die and cut out the background and white circle, stamped a sentiment and here we go!  


I am really happy with the way these turned out.  I think they are super adorable, and my staff loved them.  If you "like" my Facebook page, you will know that this has been my profile picture all year.  I promise to do better.  I really do enjoy crafting, and I am so much happier when I am doing so (and not working all of the time).  There is a therapeutic element to this.  

I hope ya'll are enjoying the 12 days of Christmas!  Leave comments to let me know if there is something you want to see!  Happy crafting!!
