Z is for Zzzz….

Welcome to the last post of my ABC Holiday 2019 Series! Throughout this series I have been sharing all kinds of cards, gifts, and ideas to help make your holidays as easy as ABC! I was trying to come up with something for the letter Z (It is always a hard one in my alphabet series) when this little poem popped in to my head…

Don’t wait until the night before Christmas
When you want to get some zzz’s.
If you still have gifts to make,
Create one of these.

I thought I would showcase some of my favorite gift ideas from this series. *You can click on any image to see the original post with directions.

If you are like me, you have people on your list who are just hard to buy for! That’s where gift cards come to the rescue! Rather than just give a plain gift card, I like to come up with different ways to make the presentation fun.  I think this one does the trick!

I changed up the DSP and made another version (shown below) to give to my son for Christmas. He loves to go snowboarding so I am planning to add a gift card for him to use at his favorite ski resort.

The measurements, etc. are the same as the previous one that I made for my daughter. You can click HERE for the directions. For this version I used products from the Let It Snow Suite (including the Let It Snow Embellishment Kit for his felt hat)! The Snowman Builder Punch can be used to punch snowmen from the Let It Snow Specialty Designer Series Paper.

I love the sentiments in the Snowman Season Stamp Set!!! I had fun stamping the back! I fussy cut this little snowman from the DSP.

Simple Sweet Valentine Treats

I love to make little treat holders and 3D projects (in addition to cards of course)! Today’s project was inspired by my friend Margie.  We got together for our monthly card club and she gave me a Hershey Kiss Treat holder she is making at the Senior Center for the Veterans Home. She knows how much I love to make little treat holders.  These treats are quick & easy to create!

I modified mine a little from Margie’s so I could maximize my Designer Series Paper. (Hers held 5 candy kisses and mine holds 4.) Here’s Margie’s that was my inspiration.

Here’s all the details for mine.

  1. Cut Designer Series Paper 4 x 5 and score at 1 1/4, 2 1/2, and 3 3/4.
  2. Adhere Hershey Kisses with glue dots or Tear & Tape.
  3. Cut a belly band at 2 x 5 and loosely wrap around and adhere on the bottom.  *You want to make sure it will slide off easily.
  4. Wrap Braided Linen Trim around the belly band and tie a bow.
  5. Stamp sentiment on 1/2″ Whisper White and trim to make a banner. (I love this sentiment and font from my January Paper Pumpkin kit!)
  6. Adhere sentiment to 1/2″ Crumb Cake banner and attach to belly band with a glue dot.

You can use DSP or cardstock for your holder. Stampin’ Up!’s Designer Series Paper is great quality and I love seeing the double sided design when you open and see inside.

Here’s a peek at the side view.

I hope you enjoyed this simple sweet treat holder.  Grab some DSP and go make some! These would be quick & easy to create for your child’s classmates or coworkers, etc. I’m going to make some for the ladies at the post office who are always so friendly and helpful when I come in with my big bag of mail each month! (*Last month’s card kits have all been shipped and should be in your mailbox this week!)

Have a wonderful week!
