Yet another garland…

Candy Cane Lane DSP; 1-3/8" Circle and Triple banner punches;  2 retired punches and alphabet die.

A garland using current paper and retired dies…

Made these simple treaholders using retired papers and embellished with tags using current paper (Dazzling Diamond glimmer paper and Copper foil paper) as well as a current framelit (Merry Tags).

The one on the top holds 3 Ghirardelli squares and the one on the bottom holds 3 Ferraro Rocher chocolates.

Haven't made the reindeer poop (actually, they're chocolate covered raisins) treatholders in a while so updated the design with current stamp sets (except for the greeting which I had custom made waay back when SU! used to offer customized address stamps).

Cookie Cutter Christmas & Snow Place stamp sets; Crumb Cake and Real Red inkpads and cardstock;  Chocolate Chip and Whisper White inkpads; Red Glimmer paper; 2" Circle, Cookie Cutter Builder and Classic Label punches

Made some clothespin wreaths using the Cookie Cutter Christmas & Christmas Pines stamp sets.  I also used the Candy Cane DSP and Cookie Cutter Builder plus Duet Banner punches.

Now that my Christmas boutiques are done I'll be posting a few of the items I had for sale….

I dusted off an old tutorial to make a couple of tabletop banners using current DSP & ribbons.  I did use a couple of retired alphabet sets that I can't bear to part with.

Holly Jolly Greetings and Stitched with Cheer stamp sets; Emerald Envy and Real Red inks & cardstocks; Presents & Pinecones DSP; Red Glimmer paper; 1-1/4" and 1-3/8" circle punches; retired scallop circle punch.

Another simple card this time using the Merriest Wishes stamp set and Merry Tags thinlits.

Garden Green cardstock and inkpad; Gold Foil cardstock; Pine Bough TIEF; Baker's Twine trio pack.

I saw a card similar to this somewhere and thought I'd try it out…ended up being more work than I expected so definitely not one to mass produce unless you have a lot of time.

Jolly Friends and Holly Berry Wishes stamp sets; Real Red, Garden Green and Soft Suede inkpads and cardstocks; Jolly Hat Builder and Holly Berry Builder punches; Cable Knit Dynamic TIEF.

I made a few minor tweaks to a card design by Diana G…
