Gift card

Here is a quick gift card box I decorated for a friend coming home with our son for the holiday.  Love these GC boxes from Taylored Expressions as they come with the insert and have so many possibilities.  The reindeer from this Paper Smooches "Santa Paws" set make me laugh!

A fuzzy cupcake!

My last gift idea was a fuzzy, cozy pair of socks wrapped up as a cupcake! How cute is this? I've seen this idea on several blogs and had purchased the cupcake containers from Taylored Expressions a while back so decided to give it a try. Took a couple attempts to get the sock to look like icing but, with the help of a rubber band to hold the bottom, I think I succeeded! I found a template to make the cupcake liner, tied a little ribbon, added a label, and it's ready to give to my friend who loves cupcakes AND cozy socks!!

Gift card holder

A cute idea for those you may be giving gift cards to this holiday can be found here - http://addinkandstamp.blogspot.com/2010/12/snowman-gift-card-holder.html.   This would be something easily mass produced as you could have all your circles cut and then assemble quickly. I made mine to fit into a legal sized envelope and will use to send a December birthday gift card!

Holiday gift idea

Now that my friend's and I have had our monthly Craft Night, I can share the few things that I made.  Our theme was to bring a gift idea ... so here's my first one. 

I can't tell you how much I love this idea!  I saw it on the link below and just modified for the holidays. Hurry as Bath and Body Works has these little soaps five for $5! Her directions are awesome and something easy to mass produce for teachers, friends, etc. (The only change I made to her tutorial was for the oval where the soap slips in - I used my oval nestie and it worked out perfectly.)

I'll post another idea tomorrow!


Thanks for looking,

Holiday gift idea

During the Southern Cal Shop Hop, my friends and I stopped into a fabulous quilt shop - Fat Quarters in Vista - where we could have spent the whole day!  I saw this candle wrap made of felt (by Bareroots) and thought it would make pretty gifts for Christmas.  It was a little more time consuming than I expected so honestly don't know how many I will end up  making!
