Nicole Silhouette Large Tea Cup die

If you haven't guessed it already, I'm a big fan of anything "Tea" themed.  When Nicole introduced this cup I was overjoyed!!!  This is a good size cup.  It's about 3" tall and 8" wide and even includes a spoon.  The possibilities are endless with this die.  It's made into a home décor piece here, but it would also be lovely filled with candy and goodies.  You'll be seeing this again this year as I have other ideas to try.  Thanks so much for joining me today.  Be sure to keep checking back as I catch up on my postings.  Hugs and Blessings!
 

Nicole Silhouette Cabinet Die

Hello friends and crafters.  Today's share is a Nicole Silhouette die found on Aliexpress.  This is just the cutest little Cabinet.  The little Snowmen are ephemera from the Prima Sugar Cookie Collection.  The little house on the top is a Recollection die from Michael's.  

This little cabinet opens open to reveal four drawers.  It was absolutely perfect for sending my Best Friend a set of Gingersnaps and a Necklace.  The Necklace was placed in the top drawer.  I could have easily put two or more.  The drawers held quite a few snaps.  I had 5 each in the three drawers but I could have put more. 

As you can see in this photo, the drawers are deep enough to hold something substantial.  Just because it's decorated with snowmen does not mean it has to be put away after Christmas.  It was intended for my BFF to leave it out year round.  I even included a book mark that has a charm attachments so that she can change out Gingersnaps as well.

Thanks so much for joining me today.  This is one of those dies in my collection that I know I will be repeating.  So be sure to check back as I will be creating more of these with different themes.  Until next time friends hugs and blessings to you and yours!
 

2020 Christmas Gingerbread Themed Tags

For Christmas 2020 the theme for my yearly tags was Gingerbread.  These are usually sent to friends and family in groups of 4-6 depending on what I create to put them in.  These are sent instead of Christmas cards so the recipient can use them.  Most of them use them as Christmas Ornaments on their tree! 

This sweet Gingy is a Cottagecutz die.  It's just adorable sitting on top of that cupcake don't you think!

This darling Ginger is holding onto a spoon.  It's a die that was discovered on Aliexpress.

Here's another one with a slightly different saying.   You could write anything you want on the spoon.

One of my favorite Gingerbread days.  This is a Cottagecutz die that unfortunately is retired and no longer available.

This charming Gingerbread was another Aliexpress find.  I did swap out the peppermint for one I created with a Martha Stewart punch from my stash.
