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.

Festival of Christmas - Gift cards or tags

Hello again! Welcome to another 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

I' love decorating gifts and this year and I tagging all those gifts with a little ornament. I like how it pushes the gift a little bit farther.

My mantra this season: Simple, Simple, SIMPLE! Simple is key. It doesn’t take much to add a little handmade flair to those gifts. My Christmas crafting in general is very simple because it is such a busy time of year.

These candy cane ornaments have been dressed up with a few stamped images from the Winter Gifts stamp set and sparkly enamel dots. Easy peasy!

This next set of simple tags incorporates a few craft store goodies (tiny ornaments and plastic fir sprigs). These have been hot glued onto super thick white card stock. The card stock has been punched into a tag shape and stamped with a simple ”to: from:” sentiment. I made a dozen or so of these and have them at the ready to attached to any gift. The generic color scheme makes this easy to coordinate.

I also made a few more gift card holders. Again, simple is key. These gift card holders are folded from wood paper and have a tiny bottle brush tree tied to the plaid belly band. The belly band slides on and off the gift card holder easily.

The gift card holder paper measurement is 3” x 6”. I have scored at 1.75” and 4.25”. These are roll folded. Then, with a hobby blade, I added a few slots on the interior to hold the gift card.

Thanks for visiting and have a great week! The full blog link up can be found below.

Festival of Christmas - Fancy Fold or Mass Production

Hello again! Apologies if you stopped by my blog last night. My post was having technical difficulties, or rather I was at a concert and forgot to insert my pictures. Oops. Hopefully you’ll give me a Thanksgiving pass as the holidays have thrown me for a loop.

Back to business … Remember, 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. Last week started our first hop (Snarky or Snowy). This week our theme is Fancy Fold or Mass Production.

All off my projects include a little of both but mostly I geared toward mass production. I’ve made a bunch of gift card holders and Hershey nugget candy gifts. I am gearing up for a craft fair next Saturday.

The Snowman Season bundle has saved my bacon once again. It’s such a cute set of images and easy to stamp multiples, punch them out and get to creating. When creating multiples I find sweet and simple is the key! I’ve also used the Let It Snow Designer Series Papers and Embellishment kit to dress these items up. These products made it super easy and fast to create multiples… all while watching a little Disney plus!

Thanks for visiting and have a great week! Next up is Tania. The full blog link up can be found below.

Festival of Christmas - Snowy or Snarky

Hello friends! If you are new here my name is Charlet Mallett and I LOVE papercrafting, specifically cardmaking. I love all crafty products but I mostly use products from Stampin’ Up! as I am a demonstrator for them. This hobby and business of mine has given me so many opportunities to connect and become friends with fellow crafters around the world. Such a blessing.

Some of my crafty friends and I are making and sharing holiday projects every Friday until Christmas in an event we are calling the ‘CRAFTY Festival of Christmas’. Every week we will feature a different theme. Today starts our first hop and our theme is Snarky or Snowy.

If you know me you know I am a big fan of SNARK however I had no new snarky Christmas set in my collection. I guess I know what’s on my Santa list this year … For this project I opted for the SNOWY theme.

Snowman Season Holiday Card - Charlet Mallett, Stampin’ Up!

This card features the Snowman Season stamp set from Stampin’ Up! This set is adorable and happens to have a coordinating punch. I did not use the punch on my card and instead stamped my snow fella directly onto a piece of Crumb Cake card stock that has been die cut. I painted him white using a generic acrylic craft paint and a small paint brush. The sweet scarf, twig arms and coal buttons are available in the ‘Let it Snow’ embellishment kit. Product supplies and links to those items are listed at the end of this post.

Ready for more snow or more snark? Next up is one awesome chick! I first met Maria a few years ago at a stamping event. She instantly welcomed me into her circle and I have been blessed ever since. She is one talented crafter and I can’t wait for you to see what she has made.

Sometimes link break, if this is the case you can always link up with others on our hop below. Thanks for visiting.
