Dear Santa: Week 4, Day 4 Christmas Quickies



November 28, 2013

Happy Thursday Crafters, and a very Happy Thanksgiving Day to all of you who are celebrating! This week we are bringing you inspiration (and prizes) in the form of Quickies. Here are even more quick (and super cute) card, gift and treat ideas for your holiday crafting needs.

Our sponsors for this amazing month of inspiration have been Simon Says Stamp, Hero Arts, Avery Elle, Lawn Fawn, Neat & Tangled, Cas-ual Fridays, American Crafts/Amy Tangerine and Kelly Purkey. And we would like to thank them, and Santa, for being so generous.

Look at this wonderful design from our guest designer, Tenia Nelson.  Don’t you just love this adorable gift package idea? I just love the wreath with little sprayed berries…such a beautiful effect. And who wouldn’t be happy to get this little gift bag full of Copic goodness? Tenia, I’ll send you my address!

And now for our second guest designer of the day. Rachel Izakowicz has designed a set of 3 x 3 cards in some of my favorite Hero Arts neon colors…these cards are little but they certainly have a big WOW factor. Who wouldn’t be merry after getting one of these?

Sue Mc Rae has made some Triangle Treat Boxes  that are too cute for words. There are so many possibilities with these fantastic treat boxes. I could see them being used to send to a classroom for the holidays, or as party favors on your holiday table! Or maybe you could even fill some with yummy treats for your favorite pets. And with all these fun combinations, there is sure to be one that is perfect for everyone on your list !

Sue had also been sweet enough to share her template to print out to make your own triangle box –Triangle Box Template

This fun altered notebook from Christine Drogt certainly makes me smile! I love how she combined these fun chipboard images with a masked envelope pattern background and the pink and green combo is one of my all time favorites.

What can I say about these tags from Lucy Newton? I love them all!!! Great combo of fonts and backgrounds, and I am just LOVING the snowman tag with the candy cane striped background.  Handmade gift tags are a quickie that makes any present extra special.

Hope you have time for one (well two) last quickie! It’s mine. I have made two quick and simple cards. Lots of white space, 1 image and one sentiment…and a little pop of color. Super easy!

Now that we have looked at all that yummy goodness (please go visit the girls blogs if you have a minute. It means so much to us!) let’s talk prizes. We will be giving away:
$25 Gift Certificate from Avery Elle, $20 Gift Certificate from Lawn Fawn , Simon Says Stamp is offering a big 6×8 sampler set and last but not least Hero Arts will be giving away a prize pack from their 2014 catalogue!

You don’t want to miss a chance to win these goodies so make sure you comment on **this post** for your chance to win. Thanks for stopping by to visit us! We hope you found tons of inspiration!
