Nugget boxes

My original plan for Christmas gifts was nugget tins, but everyone was sold out of them. I did a few like these, but they were just too much trouble for the amount I needed, so thats why I ended up making cocoa tins. I got the pattern for this from SCS. -Stamps-Snowflake Spot, Many Merry Messages.
-Ink-Bashful Blue, Purely Pomegranate, Chocolate Chip
-Paper-Purely Pomegranate & Whisper White Cardstock. Blizzard wrapping paper
-Accessories-Scallop Circle punch, Circle punch, Avery Labels, Brayer, retired copper cord.

This one is a gift card tin (I don't know where it came from though. I've had it laying around for a while begging me to decorate it). This tin holds 8 nuggets.-Stamps-Many Merry Messages
-Paper-Bashful Blue and Whisper White cardstock; Blizzard Wrapping paper
-Accessories-Bashful Blue ribbon.

Cocoa Tins

Hello everyone! Sorry I haven't posted anything in a while. I've been trying to get ready for Christmas. I'm finally just about done with my shopping! I've been making some of these cocoa tins for Christmas gifts. The tins came from SpecialtyBottle. I used the 8 ounce size. They are very easy to make. I used SU's small cello bags, filled one with mini marshmallows, and the other with hot cocoa mix. I got the idea HERE. For the tags, I just printed the names from my computer. I used the RGB codes so I could print them in SU colors. Recipe
-Stamps-Snowflake Spot (used on one of the tags)
-Ink-Bashful Blue
-Paper-Dashing DSP, Blizzard Wrapping paper, Bashful Blue, Chocolate Chip, Real Red and Whisper White Cardstock.
-Accessories-Bashful Blue and White grosgrain ribbon, Scallop Circle punch, Circle Punch (I can't ever remember the size, but it's the biggest one SU has).

I think thats everything

Christmas Paint can

I finally got around to altering a paint can! So much fun! It's so easy using SU's wrapping paper. Keep in mind that the Holiday Mini catalog only goes till the end of this month, so get your holdiday stamps before it's too late. Just to make it a little easier, I'll give you free shipping on your holiday mini purchases. Just send me an email at stampingexpressions@gmail.com if your interested.I'm not sure what I'm going to put in it yet. Any ideas?

Christmas Bows!

So how cool is this? I saw a bow like this in the SCS gallery, so I searched on Google for bow tutorial and found a great blog that had a step by step directions. Anyway, the tutorial can be found HERE. It's the November 3rd post. It is actually a couple different posts, but since the second two don't have titles I can't seem to get a link to them. Make sure you browse her blog too. She has lots of great ideas. These things are kinda time consuming, so I definitely won't be doing them for everyone, but I'll put them on a few presents. Like my mom who loves beautifully wrapped presents. I plan to wrap the gift in the chocolate snowflake wrapping paper that came with this one, and use some bashful blue grosgrain ribbon.
I guess a recipe isn't exactally needed this time. All I used is the blizzard wrapping paper, some snail adhesive, a brad and a glue dot.

Remind me never to do this again

Well, I've never stamped on wrapping paper before. But I wanted to do some with Wild About You for my Sister-in-law's baby shower tomorrow. She is a stamper too, so I thought she'd like this. This set matches the bedding in the nursery (very cute by the way). Well, maybe I should have gotten a smaller gift...lol., but no I got a bathtub. This took 6 feet of wrapping paper. My arms were so sore by the time I got done.
And here is the little tag on top (which is really crooked!)And the matching card.
-Stamps-Wild About You, Polka Dots & Paisley, Mini Mates, Big Pieces
-Paper-Bashful Blue, Bliss Blue, Barley Banana, So Saffron, Certainly Celery
-Ink-Bashful Blue, So Saffron, Certainly Celery, Apricot Appeal, Sage Shadow, Pale Plum
-Accessories-White Wrapping paper, Celery Ribbon, Blue Ribbon (can't remember which one that is), ticket corner punch and white signo gel pen. I think thats everything =).
