Fun With Embossing & Xyron-Last Minute Gifts!

Good morning and Merry Christmas friends,

Just one more day until Christmas Eve and if you are like me you might

just be prepping last minute gifts for friends. 

I have a couple ideas for you!

Number one these fun jars of hot fudge sauce (HOMEMADE)

that I decorated using crystals from Connie Crystal and my Xyron for the 

sweet tags (with CutCardStock, and Ribbons Unlimited).

And how about a little bag of candy with a homemade card for those

co-workers and friends. I used Crafter's Companion stamps with these 

inexpensive little bags to create a handmade a heartfelt gift!

Of course my Xyron took care of the adhesive! 

Here is a photo tutorial for the rest! :) 

I had fun heat embossing this stamp and just making it fun and easy. 

Now I take a couple days off for family- so Merry Christmas friends!~ :)

Mini Gift Bag Tutorial!

Good morning friends, Happy Monday!

I had so many compliments on these little gift 

bags I created I decided to share how I made them.

They are the perfect size for any pair of earrings 

and really if I had 25 of them I would totally make an

Advent Calendar with them!

Anyways here is my how to-

• Stamp Avocado Arts Gingerbread Goodness stamps onto CutCardStock using embossing ink. 
• Dust stamped image with embossing powder (gold). 
• Heat emboss images. 

• Trim out embossed images (now you can trim them out with your die cut machine first if you like). 
• Repeat with sentiment stamps. 

•  Using   Xyron 3" Sticker Maker run sentiments and Gingerbread through. 
• Rub firmly to ensure full application of adhesive!

• Place Gingerbread onto Maya Road Bags. 
• Repeat on other side using sentiment. 

•  Add bows or embellishments as desired!

Easy and GORGEOUS! They took me around 30 minutes! :) 

Here is what I used:

  Xyron 3" Sticker Maker, Avocado Arts Gingerbread Goodness Stamps, Maya Road Vintage Treasure Bags, CutCardStock Basis Cardstock,  Gold embossing powder. 

~.10 Cent Home Decor Project!~

Good morning crafters!

I totally scored a couple months ago at Hobby Lobby, I bought this damaged 

wall hanging for .10 cents...LITERALLY! :) 

See it is here ⇓⇓⇓

It had a big chip off the corner.

So I decided to take it home and make it mine...all mine! haha

I took a wire brush and hammer and knocked off all the edges. 

Then I used Enamel Embossing Powder to distress the edges

and make the DREAM pop up. 

I LOVE it now, isn't she beautiful?
