Wood Chip Ornaments

I have been making Wood Chip Ornaments for gifts and also for craft fairs, and they are really easy to make,

I purchased the wood chips already cut, and using Staz-On Ink and my Stampin' Up! stamp sets I was able to create the ornaments in no time.  I just added additional ribbon, and for some used jingle bells and pine cone trinkets to add a little extra embellishment.    

The new Stampin' Up! Shimmery Crystal Effects and Ice Stampin' Glitter added shine to my house ornament, and I will be trying the Snowfall Accents Puff Paint on the new ones I will be making.

Mini Curvy Keepsake Box

One of my favorite things in the Holiday Catalog is the Mini Curvy Keepsake Box Die.  It coordinates with the tiny Keepsakes Stamp Set and you can purchase them together in a bundle to save 10%.

I do a lot of fall craft fairs and when I saw this die I knew it would make cute holiday favors.  Since it is small, you only need one cut on a 6 x 6 piece of paper and your box is ready to be assembled.   No adhesive needed to put it together.  Just fill with your favorite treat, add a tag and you are done.

I put one Lindor Chocolate Truffle in each box and I was able to cut out 108 of them in less than an hour.

The following were used:

Ride With Me

The Ride With Me Bundle, includes the Ride With Me Stamp Set, and  coordinating Truck Ride Dies.  They are in the Annual Catalog, but since I am in the process of creating items for my holiday craft fairs, I knew I wanted to try them.  I made several different colors of trucks, but in all of them I added a small bag of candy corn, and since the bed of the truck is small and you can't add a lot of candy, I added three wrapped Hershey Miniatures to the bottom to make a nice base for the truck to sit on, and to add some nice extra treats.

There are cute stamps in the set that would make nice birthday and christmas cards and treats as well.

Winter Woods

Another card I made using holiday products in the Annual Catalog contains stamps from both the Dashing Deer and Winter Woods Stamp Sets.  Both of these are available now if you are having a hard time waiting until September 4th to order new holiday products.

I used my Stamparatus to line up the trees in the background.  The Stamparatus is a great tool for making it easy to quickly stamp repeated images.  I also cut a small layer of Whisper White Card Stock and added it to the bottom of the card to make it look like snow, and then added my cut tree and deer. Some Red Rhinestones were added for tree decorations and Garden Green ink was daubed onto my sentiment for a bit more color.
