On the Second Day of Christmas

And we move on to the Second Day of Christmas.
How are you coming on your shopping?
This would be a great stocking stuffer.
Ghiradelli Snowman
My true love gave to me…….
What could be better than chocolate!!!
Don’t you just love this snowman made from Ghirardelli Chocolates — YUMMY!

I used Stampin’ Up!’s large cello bags (6″ x 8″).
I punched out three 1 3/4″ Whisper White circles.
I used Glue Dots to attach the circle to the chocolates.
The bottom circle is left plain.
I added three rhinestones to the middle circle.
I punched out a Red Foil heart from the Owl Builder Punch
and added it to the middle circle.
The eyes are punched from Basic Black card stock with the Owl Builder Punch.
I cut the nose free-hand.
Draw the eyes and mouth with the Basic Black Marker.
Don’t forget to add the “eye sparkles” with the White Gel Pen.

I line up the tree chocolates in the cello bag and fold the edges over.
I used Glue Dots to hold the edges down.
Tie with Real Red 1/4″ Cotton Ribbon.

Very quick to make a bunch of these cuties.

On the First Day of Christmas

I love doing the Twelve Days of Christmas at work.
I have a project to share with you each day up to
Christmas — that’s twelve projects.

On the First Day of Christmas my true love gave to me…..
a Santa-sizer (that’s a hand sanitizer in a Santa Suit.
Santasizer
I bought the hand sanitizers at Bath & Body Works (cool shape this year).
I used a piece of Real Red card stock that is 2 1/2″ x 11″ — score at 5″ and 6″
The belt is 1″ x 2 1/2″ Basic Black card stock
The belt buckle is Silver Glimmer paper — 1 1/4″ x 1 1/4″.
The belt inside the buckle is 1″ x 1″.
I glued these pieces together with the Tombow Multi Purpose (green) Glue. 
Hold top edges together and punch oval opening for handle.

Inside to hold the sanitizer I cut a piece of Real Red card stock 2 1/2″ x 4″
Score it at 1″, 2″ and 3″ — creating four 1″ x 2 1/2″ rectangles.
Use the Scallop Oval Punch to punch out the center of the
second rectangle.
Sanitizer punchSanitizer Punch Complete
I put a dot in the center to help me guide where to punch.
Fold this piece on all score lines and glue inside the “jacket” strip.
Put hand sanitizer inside the box.
Tie shut with ribbon.

This would be a perfect gift for a teacher, bus driver, post office worker.
Just about anyone would enjoy this little cutie.

The Delicate Ornaments Thinlit is stunning
and there is a coordinating stamp set — Embellished Ornaments.
Check out this beautiful vintage Christmas Card I received.
I love all of the different card stock types.
Vintage OrnamentWe have Crumb Cake for the card base.
A layer of Very Vanilla that has been sponged with Crumb Cake ink.
The holly was stamped with Mossy Meadow ink.
Don’t forget to color the berries with a Real Red Marker.
Cut out the full ornament from Gold Glimmer Paper.
The detail ornament is cut from Red Foil Paper.
The ornament top is cut from Gold Foil Paper.

This card is a bit of work cutting out the ornaments but
I love the way it turned out.
