Using Your Stash for Christmas Tags and Packaging

As soon as December rolls around I break out my craft stash and use it on my Christmas tags and packages.

I had so much Heidi Swapp supplies leftover from last year! I decided to make new Christmas tags using the epoxy words from the Believe collection.  I also used Jillibean Soup's wood grain mini bags!

Break out those dies too! They are great for making your own Christmas packaging!

I used the Rectangle Box die to make my gift box. 

You can find this die in the We R Memory Keepers store. 

Be sure to use the code "Cokie" to save 20% off your order.

I hope you enjoyed my fun Christmas packaging project today!

Just A Note & News!

I have fun news & a card today!

Before I get to my news let me show you my "Just A Note" card made with the adorable products in the September Lucky Girl Crafts Kit.

And I'm also playing along in the new "Go Fish" challenge

at Trade Fish Designs. You gotta check them out. :)

I kept the design clean & simple. The corrugaged owl came with the kit. I used my Stampin' Up! 2-Step Owl Punch to dress up the eyes and body of my little owl. The Tim Holtz memo pin is also a fun part of this kit. The sentiment is from SRM Stickers.

Now for some news.....

First, I got word that one of my projects will be in an upcoming

 Create - Idea Book {Woo Hoo!!!}

Next...I was selected to be a Guest Designer at:

Be Yourself...Be Creative!

That's one of the things that Nana & Papa always tell my kiddos.

Here's my latest page that will be included in the "Grandparent's Day" book for Nana & Papa. I'm playing along this week in the fun challenge at The Kraft Journal!

I used some fun kraft along with the yummy goodies from the Lucky Girl Crafts September kit. It's full of some fun Jillibean Soup products too. :)

I love this corrugated heart.

I added some colorful twine to it.

I used my SU punch on the pretty butterfly paper.

And the Jillibean polka twill is so KEWL!



Here's Rachel with the classic "school pose".
I placed the photo on top of a Jillibean journal card.

"R" is for Rachel
I cut out the letter from the Jillibean paper in the kit.
