Christmas Money Holders

Today I'm posting the Christmas money holders I made for my adult children....after all money is the best gift for Christmas!

Punches were the go to tool for this project. The mustache was made using the Bird Builder punch. The beard was made using the Blossom Petals Builder punch (retired). The rest was made with an assortment of circle, oval and scallop punches.

December 2014 Christmas Cards

Missing in action AGAIN! These were the cards I sent for Christmas....

I worked on two styles this year

 On this card I punched out the ornaments with the thinlits die on the Wild Wasabi cardstock. Stamped the pine in Always Artichoke then embossed with clear embossing powder. Embossed the whole thing with a stripped embossing folder. The ornaments were embossed with silver embossing powder on Whisper White cardstock for the second layer and both layers were placed on a Crumb Cake card.

I stamped several pieces of Sahara Sand cardstock with Soft Suede ink using the Hardwood Background stamp. From these I made the door slats. The wreath is made from the stem on the Bird Builder punch.

Tomorrow I will post some other projects I made for Christmas gifts....

Advent Calendars

Made the girls advent calendars for Christmas from the StampUp 2x2 boxes.

The boxes are in a 10 X 10 decorated box to store them and keep them organized and I added each girls name to the top. 

It was fun and a challenge to come up with a design for each day. Lots of punching and embellishments!

It was a labor of LOVE......and a start of a new tradition for Christmas.
