Quartet Gifts 1

So there are going to be quite a few posts today.  I have been cranking out some last minute cards/gifts and haven't had the chance to post them.  I know the best way to do this would be to post one a day, but quite a few of them are for challenges so I want to make sure they are listed.  So I hope you enjoy the high influx of posts.

The next few posts will have these cute little hot chocolate powder covers I am giving the members of my quartet for Christmas.  I got the idea from the Custom Crops video that My Pink Stamper was on.  I love the way the ribbon pulls out the packet without actually being attached.  This also uses the sketch from Delightful Sketches - Sketch 13.

A Whole Bunch of Challenges

Here is my gift card holder I designed for a Secret Santa exchange I am in Christmas Eve.  This year I didn't really want to resort to gift cards.  I also wanted to make cool tags, or wrapping, or something like that since my new addiction to all things paper crafting.  This is a little matchbook from the Fabulous Finds cartridge.  It was a little difficult to put together with only one set of pages on the inside, but I thought it came out pretty well.  This is my entry for the Gypsy Spot Bag It, Box It, Wrap It challenge.  Also the Frosted Designs Happy Holiday Challenge, Stampin' Sisters in Christ Challenge #17 which is to bling your card, Whiff of Joy Sparkle Sparkle Sparkle, and last but not least, Pile It On Challenge 28 Chip Chip.

I used the DCWV Christmas Package from this year.  I love the double sided paper.  It is just gorgeous.

The present is chip board out of the DCWV Christmas package.  I really wanted to use these red pearl brads to hold it together, but they just didn't hold the page in correctly.

Giving the gift of reading.

SSHP10 - Christmas Flowers, "Just Us Girls" Challenge 10 - Sketch, and Practical Scrapper - Anything Christmas

This little gift box is for a Secret Santa swap I am part of on Christmas Eve.  I used the sketch from "Just Us Girls"  and the challenge over at Saturday Spotlight With Hidden Potential was to use a flower on a Christmas card.  Also, Practical Scrapper has a challenge for anything Christmas.  This isn't a card, but I thought it would qualify since it is Christmas packaging.  I used the Winter Woodland cartridge to cut the pointsettas and red glitter brads for the center.  The packaging is a wooden box I bought from the dollar store and used spray adheisive to adhere the paper to it.  Enjoy!

Sorry for the overexposer.  I just didn't seem to get good pictures this time around.
