Christmas Tags





Christmas tags I made for family. Someone on the MB had this idea, but I didn't have the carts she used. I switched them to TBBM and DC. They turned out cute.

Cupcake Box


Here's a cupcake box that I made (old cut file from Ruby) and the branch cut file from Jen C (what would I do without you wonderful designers!). I put some yummy People Chow in it for my in-laws.
Here's the recipe:

PEOPLE CHOW
1 (11 1/2 oz.) Pkg. Milk chocolate morsels (I used semi-sweet, so whatever you prefer)
1 c. creamy peanut butter
1/2 butter or margarine
1 (13 oz.) box honey graham cereal
3 cups sifted powdered sugar

Combine first 3 ingredients in large saucepan; cook over low, stirring constatntly until mixture is smooth. Remove from heat. Add cereal, stirring gently to coat. Place half the powdered sugar in a large heavy duty Ziploc bag (I use a GIANT Tupperware bowl with lid). Add cereal mixture and remaining powdered sugar. Seal bag and gently shake to coat. Pour mixture onto 2 ungreased cookie sheets (I line them with wax paper); let stand at room temperature until dry. Separate large pieces with a fork, if necessary. Yield 12 cups.

Scrappy Christmas Trees



Hate to throw scraps away. Someone on the MB made these and it inspired me to save my scraps and actually use them! Saved these and made some simple trees out of them. Used George to make the stars. Just taped them to the front of premade cards. EASY!










They need a little something else. Skittles? Stickles? Any suggestions?

Fancy Thank You

Love that Storybook cart! I wanted a fancy Thank You card. It was hard to not go too crazy with all the "swirlys" and "fancy stuff". Inside:

I wanted the inside to have enough room for signatures, since this was going to be a group Thank You.



Here's the CUT FILE.


2009 Glasses





Quite simple... just 2009 with small holes to thread yarn through to make New Year's glasses (uses the 0's for the eyeglasses).

Here's the CUT FILE (uses Mickey Font).

Gift Card

Here's my Merry Christmas Card (follow this LINK to original post) and a gift card holder (cut file from someone on the MB, sorry don't remember who!).

Gift Card holder closed.
With Gift Card inserted.





Spiderman Says... Get Well Soon!







Totally scraplifted this from Sammy (Butterflies). You can check it out on her BLOG. I made it for my friend's son who had his tonsils out. All the teachers at our daycare signed it for him.

Holiday Note Cards

I made these quick note cards to use as Thank you notes for the children in my daycare who bought me Christmas gifts. Cricut markers and some glitter glue and they were done! CUT FILE FOR REINDEER.

Used leftover Halloween cobwebs for Santa's hat. CUT FILE FOR SANTA.
