We made this card in my stamp club in November. It was cased from a card I saw on Pinterest. The candy cane stamp set and coordinating sizzix die is from the Holiday catalog. The holly was free hand cut. I love the Candy Canes!
Are you ready for Christmas? We are getting ready to host Christmas Eve for my husband's side of the family and Christmas for my side. We're still shopping and wrapping presents. There always seem to be one more thing, right?
Thanks for stopping by!

Whew! Where is December going? My 12 year old was telling me how fast this month was going. My friend Cindy and I told him just wait until you get older. Time speeds up!
December is always a busy month. I always say I'm going to finish my shopping early but I'm always left with the hard to buy for people at the end. Especially my husband. He's not very forthcoming with a list and what he has on the list is hard to buy for him. He has specific hockey equipment he wants and stuff like that. Ah well. We'll figure it out.
I promised to post some more projects using the Two tags die from Stampin' Up! At long last here they are:
These are the long skinny tags from the die. They make great bookmarks too! I have seen people tilt them sideways, do the decorating in the circle scallop area and the to, from on the long part of the tag.
This tag is so versatile. You make a straight up tag like this. Fold it on the score lines and tuck in the tag or the multiple other projects you'll see. Here is a picture of tags I made last year with this die including the tag tucked in:
Next up is the tag die used as a gift card holder. Just tuck the gift card holder in the top slit and secure with a glue dot:
I found instructions on pinterest on how to make a pocket to tuck the tag gift card holder in:
These were so much fun to make! I know it gets busy at this time of year and making tags sounds like a lot of work but this die makes it fun and easy! I even re-use some of the tags I give my kids from one Christmas to another. They are too special to just toss.
Thanks for stopping by today!

When I was preparing for stamp club this month I was making all kinds of different projects with the Two Tags Sizzix die from Stampin' Up! I didnt' realize how versatile this die is! Here is one of the projects we madethis month:
It is a treat holder made by adhering two of the tags together. Inside I put 3 Hershey nuggets. Here is a side view:
I even made a video showing how it is made:
It is so quick and easy I decided to make these for my Bunko group on Tuesday. I am the hostess and these will be the perfect touch!
I have several more projects with the Two Tags die. Check back this week for more!
Thanks for stopping by!

My nephew, Matthew, turned 15 yesterday. I found an idea on Pinterest to wrap money around candy bars. This was perfect for Matthew because the kids loves his chocolate! I coordinated it with a tag and matching card. I'm sure he appreciated the coordinating ensemble. *wink*
We're off to Sam's band concert tonight. This will be his first middle school concert. It will be interesting to see the difference between elementary band and middle school. I'm hoping for great things!
Thanks for stopping by today!
