Secret Santa Gifts

Oh what fun! This Christmas season some of the demonstrators from the Luv 2 Stamp group are participating in Secret Santa.  Each participant is to send three small gifts packaged using Stampin’ Up! products.  In our third gift, we include a card unveiling our name.  The first two of my Secret Santa gifts have arrived.  So, I am sharing the creative packaging created by my Secret Santa.  

Clever Gift Wrapping for Secret Santa Gift #1!

The first Secret Santa gift to arrive was a pack of Kraft pillow boxes.   My Secret Santa put the pillow boxes inside of a plastic Stampin’ Up! dies envelope.  The dies envelope is wrapped with a wide band of the Christmastime is Here Specialty Designer Series Paper.  The sentiment and other elements of the packaging are also from the Christmastime is Here Suite Bundle.   What a great way to recycle the plastic envelopes!  

Secret Santa recycled gift wrapping

Notice the cute 3″ x 3″ note card?  It is decorated with the Toile Tidings Designer Series Paper.  For embellishments,  Beautiful Boughs Dies create the perfect touch. 

More clever gift wrapping on Secret Santa Gift #2…

The second of the Secret Santa gifts also involves recycling Stampin’ Up! product.  It’s the box from the Let It Snow Embellishment Kit and embellished with the Real Red Ruched Ribbon bow.  Inside the box, two small packages of Ghiradelli chocolate caramels fit perfectly. The sturdy box is a great size for a variety of small gifts.  Small gift tags are created using the Let It Snow Specialty Designer Series paper and the Snowman Season Bundle. 

Gift packaging

When the last gift arrives, I will know the identity of my Secret Santa.  I am curious to find out who it is.  Plus,  I’m eager to see what creative packaging will be used for gift 3.  

Search your stamping supplies! 

If you still have holiday gift wrapping,  search through your Stampin’ Up! supplies to see what you can recycle.  You may have the perfect gift packing!  In addition, you can use different holiday papers and stamp sets to create simple embellishments. Below are some of the products that were used for embellishing the gift packaging.  You’ll notice that many holiday themed items are on the retirement list.  Therefore if there’s a particular paper or stamp set you like, be sure to place your order before January 3, 2020. 

Thanks for stopping by!  Check back as after I learn the identity of my Secret Santa, I’ll share it with you.

Embellished Copper Tea Tin

It’s hard to believe that it’s December already.  Since Thanksgiving was later this year, it seems Christmas will be here in a flash.  I spent the weekend putting up a few holiday decorations and decided that this year, I would scale back in comparison to past years.  What’s great is the decorating is complete.  I can now relax and enjoy the holiday touches. 

That brings me to today’s project, an embellished Copper Tea Tin.  Have you seen the Copper Tea Tins in the Stampin’ Up! 2019-2020 Annual Catalog?  You can find them on page 173.  Four tins come in the package.  The tins are perfect for embellishing and for creating a quick gift.  I plan to fill the tea tins with small cookies and candies for holiday gifting.   A huge thank you to Patty Bennett for the inspiration!  For this tin, the Brightly Gleaming Specialty Designer Series Paper creates the backdrop for the embellishing.  However, this particular Designer Series Paper is no longer available.  If you do not have this particular paper, no worries as next week I’ll provide alternatives for embellishing the Copper Tea Tin.

Details for embellishing the Copper Tea Tin:
  • Wrap a piece of 3″ x 12″ of Brightly Gleaming Designer Series Paper around the Copper Tea Tin, secure with Tear & Tape Adhesive.
  • Cut a coordinating piece of the Brightly Gleaming Designer Series Paper, 2″ x 12″ and wrap it around the first layer of Designer Series Paper.
  • Color the 1/2″ Classic Weave Ribbon using the Dark Pretty Peacock Blends.  Set aside to dry for a few minutes while working on other project elements.
  • Using the Stitched Stars Dies, cut a star from Very Vanilla cardstock.  Layer a large star from the Brightly Gleaming Foil Elements on top.  TIP: use a glue dot in the center of the star to attach it to the Very Vanilla.  
  • On Whisper White cardstock, stamp the holly from the Christmas Gleaming Stamp Set using Mossy Meadow Classic Ink Pad.  Use a Blender Pen to pull the ink from the stamped image and color the holly leaves.  Fussy cut using Paper Snips.
  • For the berries, use Night of Navy Classic Ink Pad to stamp another holly.  Again, use a Blender Pen to pull the ink from the stamped lines to color the berries.  Fussy cut the berries and add to the holly leaves with Mini Glue Dots.  
  • Stamp the sentiment from the Tiny Keepsakes stamp set onto Whisper White cardstock using Night of Navy Classic Ink Pad.  Cut with the Mini Curvy Keepsakes Box Dies.
  • Assemble layers:  first wrap the Classic Weave ribbon around the tin and tie on side in a knot.  Add the star using Tear & Tape adhesive.  Next add the sentiment tag and the Holly onto the star using Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.  Complete by embellishing with Holiday Rhinestone Basic Jewels.

The tin is now ready to be filled with goodies!
