'Tis the Season...

...to be giving!

 

Thank you so much for joining us for the December Stylin' Stampin' Squad Blog Hop!  This month our projects focus on quick and easy gift ideas for the holidays. As we enter the month of December, we find that the Christmas holidays are fast approaching. From decorating our homes to holiday baking, we realize that shopping days are running low. That's why we want to share quick and easy gift ideas that anyone can create in time for that special someone! 

 

As you hop along, you will see that many of our design team members are giving away some great blog candy this month. Leave a comment for each project and you will automatically be entered in to win!  Winners will be announced Monday, December 16th on our individual blogs, so don't forget to leave us those comments! We love to hear from our readers!

 

You should have just left stop number 9 on the Stylin’ Stampin’ Squad  blog hop – Heidi B with Stuck on Stampin'. If so, you are in the  right spot. If a link doesn’t work or you get off track, you will find  the full blog hop lineup below.

I was in need of a quick and easy way to wrap up some cookies for my awesome IT guy at work as a thank you for all of the hard work (and constant pestering from all of us!) he has done for me and my at-home-co-workers.  Tag a Bag Gift Boxes to the rescue!

With a little embossing of the sleeve, a strip of bright and cheery Real Red chevron paper, some Holly Jolly and a HOHOHO snowflake, my box was done in less than 15 minutes!  I already had the cookies made, so I wrapped them up and stuck them inside...thank you gift all ready to go!



 

But wait! I can't give a gift without a card!  Still having all of my supplies out, I easily put together a fun card to match!

 

Using most of the same elements, my card completed the gift, in just 30 minutes!

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Real Red, Bermuda Bay, Whisper White, Brights Collection DSP Stack, Silver Foil

Ink ~ Real Red, Gumball Green, Bermuda Bay

Stamp Sets ~ A Banner Christmas, Festive Flurry, Gorgeous Grunge
