I have a few last Holiday Catalog projects to share with you. This one is from a few months ago - oops!
I colored the Baker's Box with Coastal Cabana ink. I first tried to spritz it, but I wasn't getting very good coverage. I ended up using a sponge dauber to finish adding and evening out the color. I think a sponge brayer would probably be the most efficient way to add color to the box. I've since added some to my craft room!
These boxes are food safe, and I added a large slice of cheesecake to mine. This was a birthday treat for Jenna's teacher. The Glittered Organdy Ribbon finished it off with a little sparkle. I love this ribbon!

Today on Facebook Live, I made a quick card using the So Santa stamp set. This set is so fun, and perfect for those of us who live in warm weather this time of year! Here is my card:
That sentiment is my favorite! My thoughts exactly on snow, haha! The card base is 4 1/4" x 11". The Whisper White piece is 5" x 3 3/4", and the Bermuda Bay mat is 1/8" larger at 5 1/8" x 3 7/8". All the supplies are listed below.

Today's cards are inspired by those pictured in the Holiday Catalog.
I used the colors Real Red and Call Me Clover, and the 6" x 6" DSP Stacks as the base for my cards. Add a few coordinating ribbons and embellishments, and the cards are done! I love finding inspiration in our catalogs!

On yesterday's Facebook Live, I showed how to make a quick and easy gift bag using two sheets of 8 1/2" x 11" cardstock and one 12" x 12" sheet of Designer Series Paper. I followed the instructions from Ronda Wade's video here. You can watch my demonstration here. Here are a few measurements to help you out: Score each piece of 8 1/2" x 11" cardstock down the long side at 1 1/2" on both sides. Score each piece at 2 3/4" down the short side, just on one side. Cut up your score line to the 2 3/4" score line on both sides to make two flaps. Cut 4" off the top of the DSP. Then cut at 5 1/4" twice so you have two pieces of DSP that measure 5 1/4" x 8".
The tags on the bags were stamped and punched using the products in the Christmas Traditions Punch Box, on sale for only $27.00 right now! All other supplies are listed below. Please note that I used retired gold tinsel trim on one of the bags. I would recommend the Gold Metallic Edge Ribbon as the perfect substitute!
