Kraft & Silver Gift Wrap Idea

I must confess that I'm trying to use up some of my gift wrap supplies I have hoarded during the past few years. I just hated to buy new, when I had a closet full of things that needed to be used. The kraft colored gift wrap is from the dollar store and the wide ribbon is something I've had for a couple of years. I saw something similar on Pinterest, so I thought I would see what I could come up with. All other products are Stampin' Up!

The base of the tag is cut from the Kraft 12 x 12 heavier weight paper that is so perfect to make boxes out of. I've layered Very Vanilla cardstock  and a piece of Silver Fancy Foil Designer Vellum on top of the Kraft paper. I cut all of the tops of the tags with the Ornate Tag Topper Punch and tied all of of them together with Silver Baker's Twine.   I thought the word "jolly" (since it is my last name) and the Silver Sequin Trim were perfect to finish it off. The word is cut from a left over piece of Silver Glimmer Paper a retiring thinlit set called Christmas Greetings Thinlits, which is only available while supplies last up until January 4th.

Spreading More Joy...

This post will be a bit quick, as we are gearing up for a big afternoon with family. I have been working on a few personal Christmas cards this morning.  I changed up the colors a bit and added some layering to the word, but these are done very similar to the one in yesterday's post. I adore the use of the non-traditional Coastal Cabana & Rich Razzleberry inks from Stampin' Up! I even colored the rhinestones with the matching Blendabilities!

I admit I have always had a fondness for neutral colors. The card below pairs Crumb Cake & Smoky Slate inks for this stunning look. Again, I colored the rhinestones with the matching Crumb Cake Blendabilitie marker. 

Off to finish wrapping gifts and getting my home ready for little ones. Can't wait to hear their squeals as they open their gifts!

Don't forget about the huge end of year clearance with items up to 80% off and this week's specials with items that are 25% off. 

Have a wonderful day and be thankful for family and friends. Don't forget to pay it forward this holiday season. 

Artfully Yours,

Kim

Holiday Gift Bag

I just love it when a plan comes together! I am hosting a Bag, Tag & Box Class at my home this Saturday. This is one of the gift bags we will be making. 

I had been thinking about doing one with black, neutrals & glittery silver and I'm really pleased with how it turned out. This was made using an ordinary lunch sack. I went through my scraps to find pieces for this one! I tend to not throw anything away, because you never know when you might need a small bit of this or that for a project. The star was cut from a piece of cardboard that I deconstructed a bit. If you look close, you can tell I used the new little stapler all over this project. By the way, I have found that Fast Fuze is a quick, good adhesive to use when adhering cardstock to these bags.
