Reinder Gift Bags

I will be sad when Christmas is over...I have been making cards and doing Christmas projects since September, they are so fun!!
I saw this Reindeer on Angie's blog (Chic n Scratch). She used the Tulipe die for the antlers so her's looks much better, I don't have that one, so I used one of my flower/stems die (sizzix, but not SU) I tried the snowflake punch as well, but this looked better. The box is a 2-4-6-8 box, wheeled with the star wheel. This size was just perfect for holding some yummy Creative Nail Design lotions that I have for little gifts. The wire I found in the "wire" isle at Home Depot and I wrapped it around a pencil to make it curly. I will be making a few more of these before the holiday is done!

Polar Bear

I saw the idea of doing a "white" bear with a snow suit on Splitcoaststampers.com...I tried to fit quite a lot on a small card, but in the end I am ok with the result. You have to click on the pic for the details.....I stamped the Bear's shirt....tied his laces...and i created the toque out of punches....(the trio flower, wide oval and free hand bottom....)
I realized after I uploaded the pic that I forgot to do his mouth in black as I had intended to do, but I wasn't going to fix it!!

Birthday bear

I really thought that I wanted nothing to do with these Build-a-Bear sizzix dies, but I ended up ordering all of them (mainly because I think I own everything else in the catalog!!)
I am really happy with the way she turned out. The base is really rust, and I made her dress out of Bella Rose DSP and old olive accessories. That is a gift bag in her hand that I made using punches, and of course I had to add a little bling to her outfit!

BOO!!

How cute is this card?? I saw the idea on Heather Summers blog, switched it up a bit to make mine. I wasn't sure what to do with the new treat cups from SU, but this worked perfectly.

Paper: Cast-a- Spell DSP, basic black, perfect plum

Accessories: Big Shot, Serif Essentials Alphabet, Treat Cups, 1 3/4 circle punch, basic blac 1/4 ribbon, M&M's!

First Haircut

The DSP I used is retired, Junior Varsity. Old olive, so saffron and bashful blue CS for the background and flowers. I also added matching brads to the flower centers and used the modern label punch for the caption. The ribbon is bashful blue taffeta, and a tiny bit of 1/4 inch whisper white tied around the scallop envelope (sizzix die), closed with a silver flower brad
