Eat, Drink and Be Merry Bottle Tote

This time of year I am always looking for fun ways to make a little gift extra special.  This fun Eat, Drink and Be Merry tote is the perfect solution for a little bottle of wine — you know, the little 4 pack bottles.  I picked up these containers at the dollar store and wrapped one with Christmas Around the World designer paper for a cute winter wine bottle tote.  Of course you don’t have to put wine in it.  You could put a bottle of pop or even juice inside.

Fun at Santa’s Workshop

Each year I hold a Santa’s Workshop for my final stamp class before Christmas.  This year I designed 12 projects that work great for little Christmas gifts.  My customers choose what projects they want to make and how many of each project they are making.  I cut and prep each project.  My Santa’s Workshop was last night and everyone had a great time stamping and visiting with each other while crossing off some Christmas gifts.

Each year the projects are different.  I get lots of ideas from Pinterest and cased projects from other demonstrators.  I just love making 3-D gift items.

Here is a closeup of a little tote that is perfect for two snack size Twix bars.  Thank you for the inspiration Erica Cerwin.  This was a quick, fun project.

I used Copper Foil Sheets and the Year of Cheer designer paper to create the holder for the Twix bars.  The Wishing You sentiment is from Oh What Fun stamp set.

I’m planning to whip out a few of these to surprise people at work.

Merry & Bright Christmas Fun

This is a quick, simple but fun card that makes me want to sing!!!  It used the Festive Phrases stamp set — such a fun set and it is on the Retired List so it will be gone soon.  I paired the stamp set with the Merry Music Specialty Designer Paper which has plenty of music notes to help me with the singing (heehee).  I tipped the Real Red square for a diamond shaped backing and added a strip of Gold Washi Tape from the Year of Cheer Washi Tape package.
