Snowman Treat Bag

Dec

Looking for a cute gift for a co-worker or friend? Design Team Member Renee Zwirek has you covered with the adorable snowman treat bag she’s sharing on the site today.

I made a sweet treat bag decorated with a cool and shimmery snowman for my sweet neighbors.

This treat bag has a window so that they can see the fun treats inside. I added candy, but you can fill the bag with homemade cookies, or a mini hot chocolate kit, maybe an ornament for their tree, or even a set of holiday themed hand towels.

Strong adhesive made my pretty paper bag came together so nicely.

To make my snowman come alive, I used lots of pretty products.

I especially loved using the Xyron Create-a-Sticker machine. It was perfect for even the smallest items.

What I found difficult when using this machine, though, is that it seemed to attract my girls. They would hover around my every move while I used it (you just can’t see them in my photos because I cropped them out of them). LOL! Of course I let them help, the sticker machine is so easy to use.

Xyron 5” create-a-sticker (XRN500EN)

Post-it Note Holder

I love simple holiday gifts that can be used throughout the year, don’t you? Today, Holly from Ribbons & Glue is sharing a fun take on an every day office product and has created an adorable Post-it note holder.

Holly here from Ribbons & Glue sharing with you simple yet practical {year round} gift using Xyron Adhesive and the Pebbles From Me to You collection. Just the name of the Pebbles collection alone is perfect, right?

What’s something we use all the time and can’t seem to have enough of? Post It Notes! I told you it was a practical gift which can be made personal and cute too.

How to make a Post It Note holder:

This is how I made my Post It Note holders, but size may vary depending on how many notepads you stick inside.

To embellish the outside of the note holders, I used my Xyron Creative Station to apply adhesive onto patterned paper and chipboard then adhered them on to the front of the note holders.

To adhere the ribbon on to the back of the note holders, I used Xyron Double Sided tape.

Everyone loves a little sparkle. The Xyron double sided tape works great to adhere glitter on to projects too.

How to use Xyron Tape to apply glitter:

1. Adhere tape. 2. Sprinkle glitter 3. Shake off excess. Pretty!

Handmade Holiday Cards

We wrapping up with our handmade Christmas card series with some awesome cards from Emily Spahn.

I have friends who come from all different cultural and religious backgrounds. I wanted to create both cards that I could send to my friends that celebrate Christmas, as well as more “winter” themed cards that I could send to those friends that do not celebrate Christmas.

I used the same basic design for both of my starburst cards, creating the burst effect by simply drawing it out by hand, cutting out each section, and then using each as a template to cut my various patterned papers.

Because these cards used such a small amount of each patterned paper, I chose to use my From Me to You cardmaking pad, rather than cut up my large 12×12 sheets of paper.

I love how easily the colors in the cardmaking pad work for both the Christmas and Winter color schemes.

I simply added a single piece of Basics paper to the From Me to You papers to achieve the traditional Christmas color scheme of green and red.

I also included some ribbon to give the cards a little more texture. The American Crafts dimensional stars were the perfect center to my starbursts!

Handmade Christmas Cards with Everyday Paper

With the Thanksgiving break right around the corner, we’re starting to “wrap up” our handmade card posts so that we can move on to gift giving.

Today Design Team Member Holly Gagnon, from Ribbons & Glue, is sharing a couple of cards using our From Me to You and Front Porch everyday lines.

I love the feel of rustic Christmas decor. You can find the cozy elements of pine cones, tree branches and birdhouses around my house during the Holidays. The Christmas cards I’m sharing today reflect this cozy, rustic feel of Christmas I love.

How to make a Dimensional Christmas Tree :

After you punch holes through your scored tree, feed a small tree branch through the holes and adhere tree on to the front of your card.

This cozy Christmas card is made from a Christmas Card Kit cut file using From Me to You and Front Porch patterned paper along with POW glitter paper.
