Candy Gift Box with Embellishments

Hello Friends and Crafters.  Today's post is this lovely Candy Gift Box that is filled with embellishments.  What a great gift for a crafty friend.  If you check out my YouTube channel you will find a tutorial for this box.  This is the link to the video:  https://youtu.be/aQWuWgMOayU
 

Each candy box inside the gift box contains embellishments.  Here are some gathered paper embellishments.  Three fit nicely inside the box.

Another candy box contained these cute tiny tags perfect for tying onto gifts.  The stickers used on the tags were a Hobby Lobby find.

For the third Candy Box these little embellishments were built on an oval nesting die with a shaker ticket on top.  More Hobby Lobby Stickers were used to decorate.  So cute to put these in your journals, scrapbooks or even decorate a gift.

The last box has been left empty to fill with candy.  What a great way to gift a friend some cute embellishments.  Remember you can make this in any theme.  It doesn't have to be just Christmas.  Thanks so much for dropping by.  See you soon!  Happy Crafting!

Gingerbread Tags and Tag Holder

So last year I had created a whole line of Gingerbread tags as my theme for Christmas 2020 to send to my friends and family.  They didn't get to go out as planned because the lines were so long in the post office.

I created these tag holders to hold my tags for this years delivery.  I will be mailing these early.  With the situation currently with the post office, I will be mailing in November....lol  

The tag holder bag die can be found on Aliexpress.  The Gingerbread men as focal points on these holders are also from Aliexpress.

 Thank you so much for stopping by today.  Happy Crafting.

Altered Dollar Tree Wood Pumpkins

Have you seen these Wooden Pumpkins at the Dollar Tree?  I picked up just two not knowing what the plan was for them.  They were purchase probably in the beginning of August.  I was looking at them the other day and decided what I wanted to do with them.  I painted them and then placed some designer paper on the areas of the pumpkin that is raised up on the pumpkin.  I layered some dies in the center just as if I was decorating a card front and this is what I got.  I love these so very much!  This truck die was just laying around in my stash....it was just begging to be the focal point of this design.

 

For this one, it was painted Terra Cotta (Apple Barrel).  How could I resist this cute little Pumpkin Spice Gingerbread man, right!  This is so adorable.  Of course, now that I have made these.....I want to make more.  Unfortunately, my Dollar Tree doesn't have any more of these pumpkins.  Looks like I will have to keep this project in mind next year when I am shopping at the Dollar Tree.

Thanks for stopping by, I appreciate your visit.  Until next time.....Happy Crafting!

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.

This delightful Gingerbread was another Aliexpress find.  Don't you just love the cup with the cupcakes!

This Gingerbread girl will steal your heart with her sweet Gingerbread dress.  She's just waiting to give you a hug!

It wouldn't be Christmas at the Hurlock house without something pink thrown in....lol  This is that darling retired Cottagecutz die with a Magnolia Doohickey oven.

In case your wondering, there were a lot of Gingerbread dies on Aliexpress.  This is another.  I have a collection of Gingerbread dies and stamps that I love and cherish.

And last but not least in the 2020 collection is this delightful Ginger.  He will make you smile!  Thanks for stopping by to view my Gingerbread tag collection.  Hope you get inspiration for your 2021 tags.  I'm already thinking of a theme for this year.....lol  Until next time, stay safe, be happy, and crafty!

 

Christmas in July Altered Ribbon Spool

Happy Christmas in July everyone!  July is a great time to sit down a do a few Christmas projects to get a head start when you aren't rushed during all the festivities in December.  For this project a ribbon spool I had on my desk and ready to throw away was rescued!!!  Look how adorable.  I just tore it apart and recovered the cardboard with paper.  The house is a Recollection die from Michaels, the Gingerbread man is a piece of felt from trim I was gifted.

The peppermint in the front is a Martha Stewart punch.  The trees are from Aliexpress.  They are a set of three sizes.  I used the medium and the tall.  This was so much fun to make.  I want to make more of these for gifts.  I won't be throwing away those ribbon spools anymore...lol

Happy Crafting friends.  I will have more to share with you for Christmas in July as well as some other projects that I have been working on.  See you soon!
