8 Christmas Projects from the Design Team

How do you get in the mood to start on your Christmas projects?

You're getting "MUFFIN" for Christmas

DT Marlene used the Apron Boxes and filled it with muffin mix and baking goodies then turned it into a "pun" gift with her gift tag:
You're getting "Muffin" for Christmas.

DT Debb DeFord played her favorite Christmas music while she worked on Christmas projects in July.  "It's not too early to start planning your projects. The supplies are already filling up the craft stores." And it sounds like she enjoyed every minute of it.

Debb made up one of the Rudolf Paver Favor Boxes...

 The Nutcracker Set becomes Shape Cards

Sue turned the paper pieced characters from the Nutcracker Set in to these beautiful shape cards for her family. She shares all the "how-to's" in her blog post @ Sue Stamping Stuff.

I loved the Nutcracker card so created a new one that is already to go with all you need to make the new Nutcracker Shape Card below.

 

 

 3D Poinsettia Christmas Ornaments

Monster Pops and Googly Eyes for Valentines

Have you met our newest little monsters?

Meet Googly Frank, Swirly Sue, Hearty Harold and Glassy Gayle.

 

 

The new Monster Love Pops are characters that hold your cake pops and lollipops. The hole in front lets the pop serve as the nose. Includes a PDF to print a one piece colored version for hand cutting.

 

It folds at the bottom and a small hole lets you slip in the stick of the pop thru. Then you glue the tops together to close.

 

Finished size after a cake pop or tootsie pop is added will be
3.75" wide x 3.75" tall.

 

 

DT Marlene's LOVE Pops...

Its February and LOVE is in the air!  These Monster lollipops are just CRAZY in LOVE. They are so easy to put together and so much fun to embellish. 

I changed up the eyes a bit on Love Monster Sue. I left out one eye layer and switched out the black eye circle for a heart shaped one. I also added little sparkly pom-poms for her antennae.

To Frank, I switched out the large circle dimple and used a heart instead." ~Marlene @ Scrappin Cookie 

Papers are Cardstock Warehouse and Doodebug Design. Stamps are Jaded Blossom.

 You will love these fun and cheerful treat boxes for Easter. Our design team has just been exploding with Easter inspiration and here's part 4 in this fun series of blogposts.

 

Cutest Box of Jelly Beans Ever!

Easter Egg Basket

Marlene @ Scrappin Cookie

 

The popular Easter egg basket got a make over by Marlene. Instead of the flower that comes in the file she decorated the egg with the chevron and doodle borders giving this little egg basket a whole new look. Then it was just a matter of personalizing with a name and adding white highlights.
