Holiday Craziness

Today's post is a quick share.
I have started the holiday celebrations.
My mom is hosting the first family
Christmas today, so I came up last night
to help her get ready.  More stamping fun
to come when I get back home.

The holidays bring out the "crazy" in all of us.  
At my Santa's Workshop Wednesday night,
Sandi brought a treat box for everyone.
Those cute little boxes you can buy and she
filled them with candy.  I "pick" on her all the
time that she must use only Stampin' Up!
supplies.  This was my box — she said she
used some Stampin' Up!
supplies but she used some others too.
The others she was referring to were the
zip ties that she used to close the box.
Check out this craziness — so adorable.

But don't worry — I got into those
treats JUST FINE!!!

Have a GREAT Saturday.
Get lots of shopping or baking done.

We're predicted to get about 10" of snow
before the weekend is over so it 
will definitely put me in the 
Christmas spirit.

Santa Paper Pumpkin Test Tube Holder

Today's project used the test tubes from the
September Paper Pumpkin Kit.
Fellow demonstrator, Rachel Tessman
shared this fun holder for a Halloween treat.
I switched it up and had Santa deliver a
test tube filled with M & M's.
So adorable and really quick to make.

something for all of the kids attending.
The cost is very low and not too much sugar
to get them all wound up.

Supply List

 
You have asked for directions for the Chapstick Box from Monday's post and the Hot Cocoa Cup Box from yesterday's post.  I will try to get those ready and post them on Sunday and Monday.  Thanks for the wonderful comments.

Hot Cocoa Cup

When I was designing projects for
my Santa’s Workshop Class I knew
I wanted some type of Hot Cocoa packaging.
I came across this design on Stampin’ Up!’s
co-founder, Shelli Gardner’s blog.
It was from a couple year’s ago and it
filled my need — a mug made from
cardstock and filled with a Starbuck’s
Hot Cocoa, mini bag of marshmallows
and a Candy Cane.

I used the Warmth & Cheer designer paper stack
(which is on sale half price).
The greeting and tree are from
Wrapped in Warmth stamp set.
A bit of fun texture added with the
Layering Squares Framelits and the
Stitched Shapes Framelits.

Then I finished it off for gift giving using
one of Stampin’ Up!’s 6″ x 17″ Gusseted Cellophone Bags
and tied it up with the
Real Red 3/4″ Stitched Edge Ribbon.

Hmmm….who will receive this fun package.
