Merry & Bright Treats

It’s time for Christmas treats for the teens!  When I saw the Mini Pizza Boxes in the Holiday Catalog I knew I wanted to do something with them for this years Christmas treats.  I had purchased Festive Phrases stamp set for the adorable elf, but the Merry & Bright stamp seems perfect for this project.

The Layering Squares Framelits worked well with this stamp and layering it on a scalloped square.  Finally, I embellished it with some Be Merry DSP and Real Red 1/8″ Solid Ribbon.  For a some shimmer I added a little Wink of Stella to the lights after coloring them Real Red and Garden Green with the Stampin’ Write Markers.

Now to get baking some delicious cookies to fill them with!

Favorite Things Gift Exchange

 

It’s the most wonderful time of year!  Every year our Stampin’ Up! team does a Favorite Thing gift exchange.  We each purchase one of our favorite things and wrap it in a creative way.

Picking my favorite thing was easy.  I have fallen in love with the Yankee Candle WoodWick Trilogy candles.  I made my purchase on Thanksgiving weekend.  Then to come up with a way to wrap this not square item.

I thought about it a lot and finally found the Small Round Craft Gift Box at The Container Store.  I searched though my stamp sets to find a way to decorate the box.  As I drove home from the store, it hit me.  So, when I got home I pulled out my paper and Tear & Tape Adhesive and got busy.
