project to show you tonight sharon s stamp simply challenge this week was to make a christmas card that is so simple that someone could make 6 of them in less than 20 minutes well mine are cookie cards and of course the cookies would take longer than 20 minutes but these 10 fun cd holders that i put the cookies in only took me about 20 minutes to put together i used a stamp from the just rite christmas stamp ensemble and pure poppy ink i punched out the sentiment image then punched a larger pure poppy circle layered them attached the ribbon and that s it i ll be giving these to some co workers it s the kind of gift you give to people that you don t really exhange gifts with but want to give them a little something and packaging a big cookie like this makes it seem like a nicer gift than just handing them a cookie stamps just rite christmas stamp ensemble paper cd envelope pure poppy white pti ink pure poppy pti accessories dotted satin ribbon pti nestability plain circle marvy

showed you the cute dreidels i made as part of chanukah gifts i was making for the doctors i work for i finally finished all the treats and thought i d share them with you i got these pretty baskets at christmas tree shop for 1 99 and they worked just perfectly to present all my treats these are the dreidels again i found the pattern on marthastewart com under crafts dreidel i filled them with a bag of sugar spiced nuts that i made using the wonderful recipe that denise peanutbee on scs published on her blog i printed labels on my computer to label each item i wrapped up some biscotti in these fun bags that i got from papertrey ink and then just tied a pretty red ribbon around it you can see the recipe for the biscotti on this post next up i made these delicious oatmeal raizin cookies from a recipe i found last year in martha stewart s magazine the article also showed how to use window cd envelopes to make each cookie a little present in itself i decorated mine using the mazel tov stamp set from papertrey ink i embossed the image with silver embossing powder and then colored the candles with copics the framing scalloped circles were punched using marvy punches i just love this little cake box container that i found while blog hopping it s made from one 8 5 x 11 sheet of card stock you can see the tutorial for this on mary jo s blog here i used ballet blue card stock the designer paper is snowy day from stampin up i punched the lacey edges with a martha stewart punch inside is a yummy loaf of banana bread that i made using whole wheat flour instead of white they came out a little more dense and have a subtle nutty flavor i just attached a ribbon around the bread and a printed label saying what it was and the last treat is a yummy rum cake with pecans on the top that you make using a yellow cake mix and instant vanilla pudding and rum of course i wrapped the bundtlette cake in cellophane then placed it in this flat bottom clear bag that i got from clearbags com i cut a blue piece of card stock to go over the white piece that was already on the bottom of the bag the top was made using a labels one die from spellbinders and my cuttlebug i stamped the dots

looking but i have too much to do tonight i need to be working on some christmas gifts so what do i do the color challenge at split coast of course i got this idea of the layered trees in my head and just had to make the card before anything else you know that feeling right we were to use not quite navy kiwi kiss baja breeze and basic grey i had to use night of navy card stock for one framing layer but i did have not quite navy ink so used that on the sentiment and the trees are kiwi kiss and baja breeze i fit the basic grey in for the bottom layer i love how the swiss dots look like it s snowing in the forest when you cuttle the whole panel now i can take a few deep breaths relax a little eat some supper and move onto my other projects hopefully in a calm peaceful manner hope you have a quiet relaxing night too stamps tree stamp oasis peace pti rustic branches paper white pti night of navy basic grey su ink baja breeze kiwi kiss not quite navy accessories sponge foam dimensionals

december 14 2008 a shiny new year and a chanukah dreidel the double dare challenge that i do with some scs friends was from anne jdmommy this week and her challenge was to make a new year s card with some shine or bling i ve been waiting to use this happy new year s hat stamp by stampendous all year so i whipped that right out and i actually cased one of my own cards you can see it in my post

chanukah i ll be putting some candies or nuts in these and i ll include some home made cookies and little breads wrapped up in a box or a plate of some sort haven t gotten that all planned out yet i ll show you that when i get it all made up i found the pattern on martha stewart com under crafts i searched on dreidel i enlarged it about 200 times to make it a finished size of about 4 1 2 x 2 i punched a 1 4 inch hole in the top piece and inserted a 1 4 inch dowel and tied a silver ribbon papertrey ink around it i put some glue around the opening inside and out that will hopefully hold the dowel in place the piece on the left shows you how it looks before i taped it all together so you can see the images i silver embossed on the sides the stamp set is mazel tov by papertrey ink stamps
