Festival of Christmas - Last Minute

December 20, 2019

So Senitmental (2 of 3).jpg

Hello again! Welcome to our last Crafty Festival Of Christmas blog hop. A refresher … I am making and sharing holiday projects every Friday until Christmas in an event my friends and I are calling the ‘CRAFTY Festival of Christmas’. Every week we will feature a different theme.

Check out our previous hops:

  1. Snarky or Snowy cards

  2. Fancy fold or Mass production projects

  3. This week our theme is Gift card holders or tags

  4. I missed this one but you can start here

  5. Last Minute Lucy

Neighbor gifts always seem to be the last project I tackle. This year I made a double batch of caramel and packaged in disposable case. I normally cut and wrap each caramel individually however due to lack of time I opted to give out containers full of caramel. Caramel recipe is at the end of this post. Yum!

Yummilicious, such a funny non-word sentiment. This stamp image is from the stamp set called ‘So Sentimental’. This set will be available Jan 3 from Stampin’ Up! Full supply list can be found below.

Blog Roll:

1. Tania Cordie.
2. Tanya Boser
3. Linda Van Wely
4. Lynnea Hollendonner.
5. Charlet Mallett. (You are here)

Playing with a punch of Darling Duckling. Thoughts in this color? This yellow is interesting. I like how it looks paired with Coastal Cabana and Pool Party.  Card created using inspiration from two sketches: #tgifc576 and #gdp546 @global_design_proje
Playing with a punch of Darling Duckling. Thoughts in this color? This yellow is interesting. I like how it looks paired with Coastal Cabana and Pool Party. Card created using inspiration from two sketches: #tgifc576 and #gdp546 @global_design_project - Camera image is from Capturing Smiles bundle. Dies in the background is called Eyelet Blooms. #stampinup #cardmaker #cardmakingchallenge
Making multiples! I forgot to film a few steps along the way, but you get the gist. This card was created using the ‘Capturing Smiles stamp and die bundle. I first cut and stamped 20 cameras. 📷 Then started an assembly line to create the custom watercolor background. I used the cut film strip to use as a stencil. I laid the film strip on watercolor paper, then misted and let dry. Later I reused that film strip on the card. Double duty. 📸 Card created for 2026 OnStage Artisan swap. ❤️ #stampinup #cardmaker #cardmaking #capturingsmiles #cardmakingreels
Looking good! I forgot to post this super fun SWAP card I created to hand out at OnStage.  I used the Capturing Smiles stamp and die bundle. I'm a sucker for camera imagery. Colors are Secret Sea, Strawberry Slush and Coastal Cabana. I'll share a ree
