Wine Tag To Celebrate the New Year 2022

If you are going to a party or just celebrating at home, you might have fun making something like this Wine Tag To Celebrate the New Year 2022. It is so easy to make and if you are taking a gift of a bottle of bubbly, really any time, to take to a host, you can decorate it with a tag like this one. It is as easy as can be!

For this one, the base is Basic Black, cut at 9″ x 3″. The gold striped paper is one of the patterns in the Expressions In Ink Specialty Designer Series Paper in the Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog. I cut the designer paper at 8 3/4″ x 2 3/4″ to fit on the Basic Black. After adhering the designer paper, score the top at 2 1/2″. Then punch or die cut a hole in the top to go over the bottle. I used a Layering Circles Die that was about 1 3/8″ wide. In THIS POST where I made a Thanksgiving bottle tag, I pulled out my retired 1 3/8″ Circle Punch.

To decorate the front, I die cut a piece of Basic Black with one of the Tasteful Labels Dies. I cut out letters and numbers from Gold Foil with the Playful Alphabet Dies. I admit I didn’t get the letters and numbers placed very well on the die cut piece! But I balanced it out a little bit by putting some gems on the “empty” side! I should have looked for my glasses before glueing!

The die cut piece is popped up on Stampin’ Dimensionals®. I adhered a piece of Gold 3/8″ Shimmer Ribbon because you can’t have too much gold or shimmer for New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day!

That’s it! These tags that hang on bottles (could be water bottles, too!) are so easy to make, you have to try one! It’s a quick little project unless you make a super fancy decoration on the front of the tag! Since people often take a bottle of wine (or something!) as a host gift to a party or dinner, this is a fun way to put your own personal touch on the gift!

Have a Safe, Healthy, and Happy New Year!!

Whimsy & Wonder Christmas Thank You Cards

Leave a reply

Christmas is over and now it is time to write those thank you notes like these Whimsy & Wonder Christmas Thank You Cards. It may be an old-fashioned thing and email or texting is faster, but a real thank you note is always best! Here are three quick examples!

To keep it simple, I chose the Basic White Note Cards but you could use a regular size card as well. Then I just decorated the cards using the Whimsy & Wonder Specialty Designer Series Paper. This is your chance to use the “other side” of the fancy paper, although I still cut out some images from the fancy side! You could even just use a strip of the designer paper if you wanted to use up your tiny scraps.

These note cards are 3 1/2″ x 5″, which is a mailable size and they come with envelopes. Therefore, I cut my layer of designer paper at 3 1/4″ x 4 3/4″. The “Thank You” is in the Peaceful Moments Stamp Set. I stamped it with Polished Pink ink just to keep it simple. Then I used different punches for the sentiment.

The first note card uses a pink “other side” of the paper. I cut out some of the packages on another pattern and adhered those to the front of the card, some popped up with Stampin’ Dimensionals, some flat on the card. Then the “Thank You” was stamped and punched out using the Lovely Labels Pick A Punch.

The middle note card is the simplest of all! I just used the striped pattern in the Whimsy & Wonder DSP and added a stamped “Thank You”, punched out with the Tailored Tag Punch. I added a couple of jewels just for a little extra something.

The note card on the right uses a light green layer, plus a few cut out trees from the paper. The Thank You is stamped in Polished Pink and punched out with the Everyday Label Punch. I do have the dies for the trees, but since I had to clean up and put away my die-cutting machine, dies, and mess for Christmas dinner, it was easier to just cut the trees out by hand! Your recipient won’t know, “Gee, she could have die cut these and she didn’t!!” I added a little White Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon behind the sentiment, just the back and forth underneath the label.

Since these Basic White Note Cards are smaller, they are not necessarily meant to be super-fussy cards so you can go a lot simpler and quicker with these! If you made just one style of Christmas card, it might be fun to use that same paper, even if you only used a strip, to continue with the theme of your Christmas cards! Whatever you do, the gift-giver will appreciate a little note (and the handmade note card!) from you! Or just write a note to those who know your family or couldn’t be with you and tell them about your Christmas, just a post-holiday note! It will ease the withdrawal from Christmas cards in the mail and no Amazon packages at the door! LOL!

And if you used up every bit of your paper and embellishments from the Holiday Mini Catalog, be sure to check out the Last Chance List, ending January 3rd, and the Clearance Rack where you might find some bargains to use now or to save for next year! Be old-fashioned and send a few thank you notes like these easy Whimsy & Wonder Christmas Thank You Cards with whatever paper you have left!

Chocolate Santa in the Chimney

Leave a reply

I made this Chocolate Santa in the Chimney late last night but couldn’t resist posting it today in case anyone sees it and can use it over the holiday! My friend I texted last night said it was “too cute”! I copied it from Melanie, @sternenglanzpapierzauber, a Demonstrator (I assume) in Germany. She didn’t have directions but I figured it out! All you have to do is make (or use) a box and stick a chocolate Santa inside!

My Santa is a Lindt chocolate Santa and a decent size, not really small. You could use a smaller Santa, just make the box smaller.

I started with Real Red cardstock 5 1/2″ x 10 1/2″. Score at 3″, 5″, 8″ and 10″. Turn the paper longways to score the bottom flaps at 1 3/4″. Just like we do on most boxes and bags, cut those flaps on the score lines up to the score line going across. Cut off the tiniest 1/2″ section. Crease well, see how it goes together, then glue that 1/2″ flap to the other side. Fold in the flaps and apply adhesive. I like to stick my bone folder inside and rub to really adhere the bottom flaps together.

For the white fur part at the top, I cut a 2″ x 11″ strip of Basic White and then just cut it curvy freehand! You may have a die to use as Melanie did on hers. The only thing is you want the ends to match in width so that when you get to the back of the chimney where they meet up, you don’t want one narrow and one wider (If you want it perfect!). I applied adhesive and placed the middle of the strip in the center of the chimney on the front and wrapped the ends around the sides and to the back. Since I was copying, I just punched out a Gold Foil star with a retired punch (you can use a die) and adhered that to the white.

For the belt, I cut a 3/4″ x 11″ strip of Basic Black and adhered it the same way as the white above. Just use your fingers to crease on the edges to make a tight fit rather than trying to score and having it not fit right.

For the belt buckle, I cut a 1″ x 1″ piece of Gold Foil, adhered that, then adhered a 3/4″ x 3/4″ piece of Basic Black in the center to look like the belt going through the buckle.

It’s just that easy! I suppose you could even emboss the Real Red cardstock to look like brick or some other texture. You could even omit the white fur and belt and make it look really like a chimney and maybe add a greeting to the front. Whatever you like!

Growing up, Christmas Eve was really my favorite day because my family opened presents at our house on Christmas Eve with my grandparents and maybe other visiting relatives, maybe going to church before or after. Then on Christmas Day we would go to my grandma’s house, who hadn’t hauled her presents to our house, and have Christmas dinner at her house then open presents from her. Of course, Santa came to our house on Christmas morning! What is better than being a young child and having Santa come??!!! My mother would often”apologize” on Christmas Eve that my parents couldn’t buy us more than one or two gifts on Christmas Eve because they didn’t have the money! But Santa always came through!! LOL!

I hope you have a wonderful Christmas Eve!

Last Minute Stamping Christmas Ideas

Leave a reply

We’re here! Tomorrow is Christmas Eve so depending on your celebration schedule, today might be the last day you are trying to get things done and tie up loose ends for your holiday celebration! Here are some past ideas I think you can use, maybe with retired products but ones that you can substitute with current products or dig out your old products that you may still have in your stash!

This little Tiny Christmas Treat Box With Trees uses the retired little acetate box, but you can use any box. Just punch out or die-cut three little trees out of cardstock or designer paper plus a little ribbon and maybe some gems to decorate! Fill with candy or a small gift! So easy!

This Gold Mini Pizza Box With Christmas Poinsettia uses the still-current Poinsettia Dies so you can decorate any box with a beautiful poinsettia!

Pick up one of those giant chocolate bars on your last trip to the grocery store or drugstore and print out this poem! It’s the Christmas Fudge Candy Wrapper Poem! It’s an oldie but goodie and easy to make for a funny gift!

This Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer Gift Bag has been a real favorite! So easy to make and so fun for a gift bag! Or decorate the top of a package like this!

Want to decorate a gift bag? This Snowman Gift Bag will easily cover up any printing of the store name on the front of the bag! And again, you could decorate the front of a package in a similar way! Just takes a few minutes!

Toile Tidings Christmas Red Gift Card Holder

I heard on the news the other night the high number of gift cards that are given at Christmas! Make yours special with your own gift card holder like this one! Of course, use any paper you have or something current! Probably you have scraps that will be put to good use!

These are just a few of my older blog posts with Christmas ideas. If you want more, just use the Category drop-down box on the right to search Christmas or #3D Gifts & Things! It’s fun to look back at the older ideas because we still can use them!

Merry Christmas!

A Stamper’s Christmas Card Poem

Leave a reply

The Week Before Christmas (In a Stamper’s House)

‘Twas the week before Christmas, and the house was a hush
Save the stamping of rubber in a last-minute rush.
The cardstock was cut with precision and care
In hopes that a greeting would soon be stamped there.

The children were tucked in their beds around eight,
But now it’s ten-thirty… How’d it get so late?
And I in my PJs with bleary red eyes
Had finally arranged all the stamping supplies.

It started out simple. (It does every year.)
Just make a few cards for friends who are dear.
I pressed ink to paper. (It looked crisp and clean.)
A sprinkle of powder, heat to a sheen.

When what on my green Christmas card should appear?
Why, a tiny gold Santa with sleigh and reindeer.
On pigment! On powder! On heat from a gun!
Now ribbon and glitter! Can I make eighty-one?

“I can do it!” I said with all of my might
And looked at the clock – ’twas well past midnight.
I went straight to stamping out card after card.
“This might take all night, but at least it’s not hard.”

But after I finished, they looked a bit lame.
I didn’t want fancy, but these were too plain.
And then in a twinkling, a thought came to mind.
“I’ll just dress them up, and then they’ll be fine.”

So I went to my craft room and looked all around,
Then back to the table with all that I’d found.
My Fiskars I brandished (I wasn’t a quitter),
And soon I was covered in EP and glitter.

The cap of a marker I held in my teeth.
I’d lay in some color or maybe gold leaf.
My broad little face was all beaded with sweat,
But I wouldn’t give up – well, not at least yet.

There was glue on the table and ink on the floor.
I laughed at the sight though my fingers were sore.
I did not complain, just kept up my work.
When more things went wrong, I did not go berserk.

When finally finished, one card about six,
It looked pretty good after all of my tricks.
I’m keeping this one. My work on it shows.”
So clutching my card, up the stairs I arose.

I crawled into bed at the crack of dawn,
Creativity all spent motivation all gone.
But make no mistake, I promise one thing:
You’ll all get your cards, but not ’til next spring!

Quick & Easy Snowman Season Gift Tags

Leave a reply

Here are some Quick & Easy Snowman Season Gift Tags that you can make here at the last minute if you run out of gift tags (as we often do!). I suddenly realized I hadn’t made anything with a snowman this season and this Snowman Season Stamp Set is so cute! It’s been around a little bit so I thought I better use it before it retires, although I hope it stays a little longer! And perhaps you already have this in your inventory so it would be easy for you to copy. You’ll find it in the Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog on page 93. And notice the round tag on page 92, which, without seeing this page first, I was thinking of making a round tag like that one but I ran out of time to make one more!

The tag punch I used is retired but is very similar to the two tag punches Stampin’ Up! does carry right now, the Delightful Tag Topper Punch and the Fancy Tag Topper Punch. This type of punch is so handy to have so I recommend you have one kind or another in your supplies.

I just layered a piece of Basic White cardstock on the Balmy Blue and the Crumb Cake tag bases. The snowmen fit perfectly on this narrow piece. If you stamp with Memento Ink you can color in with Stampin’ Blends alcohol markers. Or you can stamp with Stazon and color in with Stampin’ Write Markers or some other coloring product, like Watercolor pencils or ink.

The first tag in the photo was the last tag I made. That’s where I was going to make the circle gift tag with dies but I already had this scalloped rectangle in the bag with Basic White cardstock so I just grabbed it and stamped on that piece, then layered it on Balmy Blue cardstock. Also, since I was short on time, I didn’t have any more time for coloring so I stamped the snowman and greeting in Balmy Blue ink and let it be monochromatic! Easy enough and looks just as good! I just punched a hole in the corner and tied on the ribbon.

The beautiful ribbon I used and went well with the snowmen I thought is the White 3/8″ Glittered Organdy Ribbon. It is a white sheer ribbon with a little glitter and glimmer in it! Really pretty!

Now that it is officially winter, I think the snowman gift tags are just perfect. For more ideas, check out the Snowman Season tags I made last year HERE.

Just a few more days until Christmas so make a few of these Quick & Easy Snowman Season Gift Tags just in case you need a few more gift tags at the last minute!

Paper Pumpkin Gifts Galore Kit Snowman in Window

Leave a reply

I admit to almost completely copying this Paper Pumpkin Gifts Galore Kit Snowman In Window card from someone on Pinterest, Bonnie Friday. I don’t know if she was the original person or not, but this was a card I saw “somewhere” online and then could not find it ANYWHERE later when I wanted it – until I found hers on Pinterest finally. The first time I saw this card, I believe the creator said she wondered if it looked a little “creepy” with the large snowman head peering in the window at the Christmas tree! Then there were more comments agreeing or disagreeing or laughing about that idea! That really caught my eye and made me giggle because I knew the perfect person to send a “creepy” Christmas card to just for fun!

This card is made from the contents of the November 2021 Paper Pumpkin Kit, Gifts Galore. This kit, in my opinion, is one of the best Paper Pumpkin kits! It contained very large die-cut images of this snowman, a Christmas tree, and packages. The design plan was to use two of the same images, front and back, on a small open box that would hold some kind of treats. Here is my post of the first treat holders I made as designed.

As always, stampers come up with alternative ideas for the materials in their kit. If they don’t need treat holders, they would rather make cards with the supplies or scrapbook pages or some other projects. And you can do that with your Paper Pumpkin Kit!

This card starts with a Basic White card base and a layer of Basic Black. The Christmas tree is cut a tiny bit more than in half. If you look at this sample, you can figure out where to cut it. I popped it up on Dimensionals and Foam Strips.

The snowman head is trimmed as shown so that it fits behind this “window”. This is a little tricky to figure out (maybe it won’t be for you, though!). I used a piece of Basic White and die cut two stitched rectangles out of it. You just have to make the sides wide enough so you can glue the snowman image behind it. I put a piece of Balmy Blue behind the snowman to look like the sky. Just fiddle with it and you’ll get it. The packages are cut from the piece in the kit. Most are pretty large. In fact, the top package I cut down from a larger package. Then I added a bit of the twine in the kit for a bow just for an embellishment even though there is a printed bow. In my retired stash, I had some stick-on bows and snowflakes so I added those just for fun! You could also add rhinestones or jewels to the tree. Do what you like!

I hope you get a kick out of the creepy snowman card made with the November 2021 Paper Pumpkin Kit Gifts Galore! If you still need cards or little projects, maybe you still have some pieces left in your Gifts Galore kit you can use!

Wrapped Christmas Candy Bars

Leave a reply

Christmas is getting close! If you need some fun candy treats or stocking stuffers, here is a fun and easy idea! Just decorate some candy bars with your craft supplies like these Wrapped Christmas Candy Bars. You can use any size candy bars you have, big or little!

These candy bars I used are just regular size Hershey Bars. It’s a great way to use up some scraps of designer paper you have around. You could use cardstock and layer with designer paper or stamp on cardstock! Whatever you want! It’s so fun to make these you barely need to think about it!

The paper sizes all depend on your candy bar size, of course. I found 5 1/4″ wide worked well on these candy bars. Then I just wrapped the designer paper around the bar and adhered the overlapping ends.

The top candy bar in the photo uses the Tidings of Christmas 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper. I was going to put one solid green tree in the center but I notice the other side of the paper was pretty so I punched three trees with the Pine Tree Punch and added some gems to the solid trees.

The middle candy bar uses the Penguin Playmates Designer Paper that was available during Sale-A-Bration. It’s such cute paper and you probably have some. I kind of picked the characters I wanted on the center of the candy bar and cut the paper to fit. Then I just tied some Soft Succulent 3/8″ Open Weave Ribbon around each end because I didn’t want to cover up the center image of the paper!

The third candy bar is wrapped with a piece of the Gingerbread & Peppermint 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper (retired). Since there wasn’t much space and I was keeping these super easy, I just cut a strip of another pattern of the paper to get the ornaments and bell images for the center of the candy bar.

You could think of tons of ways to decorate candy bars for Christmas or other occasions. Here is a post from 2014 with candy bars decorated for Christmas! These are really fun and cute!

You still have time to make some candy treats for Christmas, for stockings, party favors, or table settings. Make them into place cards if you are having people for dinner! They are really fun so enjoy!

3″x 3″ Gift Tags

Leave a reply

If you are wrapping gifts right about now and you don’t have much time to stamp, for lots of fun I suggest making these 3″ x 3″ Gift Tags! On some presents, the hanging tags aren’t quite right or you’d like to write a little note, so make some of the gift tags or gift cards to enclose with your gift. You may even already have some 3″ x 3″ envelopes to put them in.

These are simply made with a 3″ x 6″ piece of any cardstock, scored at 3″ in the middle and folded to make the 3″ x 3″ card. Then embellish to your heart’s desire! I barely had to go to any work on these because I had some scraps, some greetings, some die cuts that I had made but hadn’t used just sitting on my table. All I had to do was make the card base and add some scraps of 2 3/4″ square designer paper or maybe just a strip, pieces from other designer paper that had already been cut out by hand or die-cut, and maybe a greeting or two! Add a few jewels if you like for some sparkle!

No need to go into the exact details of how I decorated these! I’m sure you also have scraps and pieces you can use or you can quickly stamp or cut some out! For sure these are super fun to make! I think you could make a ton of them in just half an hour or so!! If you want just a tag, just cut a 3″ x 3″ square of cardstock and write the “To: and From:” on the back of that. Punch a hole in the corner of these cards and put some ribbon or twine through to tie on your package unless you are using an envelope. Bet you can’t make just one!!

Using the Stamparatus at Christmas

Leave a reply

If you don’t own a Stamparatus yet, you need one! When you are making a lot of Christmas cards, you definitely need a Stamparatus! I keep mine handy and use it often but using it at Christmas is really the big time!

I like to make many different card designs and make several cards of that design, maybe five, maybe 10, whatever I feel like at the time. When you are stamping the same greeting over and over again for the inside of the card, if you spend a moment getting it straight and centered or however you want it on the inside of the card, then the stamp stays in the same place and you get perfect stamping every time.

As you can see in the photo, up above the Stamparatus, you can see I stamped at least six inside card layers. Next, I worked on stamping on die cuts I had made for the front of the card. Instead of hoping I stamped the greeting on the die cut centered and straight, I used the Stamparatus PLUS the negative of the die cut. I placed the negative in the corner of the Stamparatus and then made sure the stamp was in the right place to stamp right in the center of that die cut. Then leaving the negative in place, I could place a new die cut into that negative and then stamp. That made it quicker and easier to stamp the die cuts rather than stamping all over the cardstock and trying to line up the die to fit the stamped greeting properly. It worked great!

In my messy, real-life stamping photo above, you can see the used Grid Paper inside the open Stamparatus and the messy stamped large Grid Paper on my kitchen table. You can see the Merry Christmas stamp stuck on the plastic plate of the Stamparatus, ready to be inked up on the right.

Usually, when I am trying to make sure I have the stamp lined up exactly where I want it, I place a window sheet over the card stock and stamp on that first to make sure the words are straight and everything is centered. That way I can alter the stamp position and just wipe off the window sheet until I have it just right and THEN I’m ready to stamp right on the cardstock.

The Stampin’ Up! Stamparatus has a lot of features that I don’t think others on the market have. If you mess up and your image doesn’t stamp as well as you want, just reink and stamp again because the paper hasn’t moved. Use one of the magnets to hold your paper in place. Just be careful not to get those two magnets anywhere near each other!! I found that out the first time I used my Stamparatus!

It might be a good gift to ask Santa for this year to use next year! But if you want it right away, use the Expedited 2-day shipping for an extra $20 and hopefully, that will do it!

Christmas Votive Home Decor

Leave a reply

If you want to make a quick and easy gift for someone or even just a little decoration for your home, make a glass votive holder into a decorated piece of home decor for yourself or someone else! You probably even have a votive holder somewhere around your house or you can pick one up at almost any store.

Last year I made one with the retired Buffalo Check Background stamp with black ink on Real Red cardstock. I really loved the look. This year it seems like a black and white check is quite popular so I redid the votive holder. I found a piece of black and white check paper in the Pattern Party Designer Series Paper that is available free as Host Reward in the Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog. Of course, you will have to judge the size of paper you need to use for your votive holder. Mine is about 2 1/2″ wide and wraps around the glass. If the glass tapers a little bit at the bottom the paper won’t fit around perfectly but that’s okay. Wrap it around as well as you can. I also tied a Real Red ribbon around to hold the paper in place. You can simply tie a bow, or for Christmas, I added some bits of artificial greenery and red berries. You could add a tag with a greeting or name, a little wreath instead of the greenery, maybe a small ornament, whatever you like and have in your stash!

Add a small votive candle or tea light and you have a cute little gift for someone! Wrap it up or put it in a cello bag and tie it with a ribbon. Just the presentation can take the gift up a few notches!

Christmas is coming VERY soon now, but it’s fun to make a few things for gifts or your own decorations for the holidays! This is the time of year we have looked forward to all year! Take some time to make those things you wanted to “get around” to making!
