My next card is a fun one! It features the Slay die. My daughter and her friends always say this phrase so it gave us all a good chuckle. I will now have to make several cards using this die to give to those girls. They will be squealing from the high heavens when they see this.

For the background I used the Candy Hearts Stencil Set with several Pawsitively Saturated inks(linked below).

Last Minute Christmas Bags

December 24, 2022

Hi there! Wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas Eve! Last night I made a few last minute Christmas bags for some small gifts that I have and I thought I’d share here, too.

SSS-CZ Ho Ho Deer Circle, Merry Christmas Tree, CZ Merry Ornament

This Mama Elephant Favor Bag die has been used so many times over the years for every occasion under the sun, but this time I paired it with a few Simon Says Stamp dies.

SSS-CZ Merry Ornament, Mama Elephant-Favor Bag Die

This first one uses the CZ Merry Ornament die I created a shaker using vellum and acetate and filling it with some festive sequins. The one below is out of Khaki cardstock and using the CZ Ho Ho Deer Circle die. Of course when I add the tissue paper it will hid the gift inside, but I like looking at it when it’s empty:)

SSS-CZ Ho Ho Deer Circle, Mama Elephant-Favor Bag Die

Lastly I made one out of Lipstick Red Cardstock and die cut the Merry Christmas Tree die right into the favor bag. I love these clean, simple looks even though my house looks like a bomb went off! My oldest daughter, Alex is currently baking Cathy Zielske’s sugar cookie recipe. Let’s hope we can frost them as good as Cathy does!

SSS-Merry Christmas Tree, Mama Elephant-Favor Bag Die

Wishing everyone a safe and healthy holiday! It is so cold here in Illinois. The pond is nearly ready to skate on and poor Hank the Tank can’t stay outside very long. His paws get full of little snowballs. Might have to buy him some puppy boots, ha! Thanks so much for stopping by!
