In a previous post, I shared my card design for a recent Shoebox Swap that I attended. Today, one of the cards from another card maker is being highlighted. It is a poinsettia crisscross pocket card and absolutely gorgeous! Linda Edwards, at Crafty Heron Designs, prepared the materials so each attendee could create the card. Not only did Linda present this card design but she also hosted the event. It was a delightful day and all in attendance had a wonderful time.
Isn’t the card beautiful?
It was simple to cut the poinsettia flower from the Poinsettia Place Designer Series Paper using the coordinating Poinsettia Dies. I just love it when images from designer series papers have dies that coordinate! To showcase the poinsettia, the Forever Gold Laser-Cut Specialty Paper provides the perfect base. The crisscross card is cut 1/4″ smaller and mounted onto a 5-1/2″ x 4-1/4″ piece of Thick Very Vanilla cardstock. The combination of Whisper White and Very Vanilla makes an elegant card. Notice how one side of the crisscross is topped with the designer series paper and the other is texture embossed. This adds an extra WOW element. For the sentiment card, stamp with Versamark and heat emboss using Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder. Then, layer atop a piece of gold foil paper. To create a pull for the card interior, punch a slit using the Label Me Fancy Punch and thread ribbon though slit.

Dec 20, 2019 | 2019 Holiday Catalog, Christmastime Is Here, Gifts, Uncategorized |
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!
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.
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.

Dec 18, 2019 | 2019 Holiday Catalog, 2019-2020 Annual Catalog, Boxes, Mini-Pizza Box |
Welcome to the”Tis the Season To Be Hopping” Blog Hop. You are in for a super fun treat with all the ladies who have joined us for this hop. Be sure and follow the hop all the way to the end, you don’t want to miss any of it! Whether you are starting the blog hop here at my blog, or have come from the person before me, be sure to click on the person listed under me further down the page to continue your journey through the blog hop.
The project that I am featuring for the “Tis the Season To Be Hopping” Blog Hop is a decorated Mini Pizza Box. Have you noticed that I love to use the mini pizza boxes to create small gift packaging? For this post, the mini pizza box features a Shaker Dome on the box top. What’s great is the Snow Globe Scenes Dies cut the mini pizza box with ease! Since I am creating hot chocolate and s’mores kits, the Let It Snow Specialty Designer Series Paper (DSP) fits the theme perfectly.
How to create a shaker dome on a mini pizza box:
- Use the Snow Globe Scenes Die to cut the shape from the top of the Mini Pizza Box. Add a Snow Globe Shaker Dome to the mini pizza box – remove the paper covering the adhesive strip on the top edge of the shaker dome. Insert the dome through the cutout on the top. Press firmly to adhere.
- Next, cut a 3-1/4″ x 3-1/4″ square of Let It Snow Specialty DSP for the top. Then, use the Snow Globe die to cut the shape from the DSP (this will slide over the dome on the top). Cut four pieces 3/4″ x 3-1/4″ to add to each side of the box. Using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive, attach the designer series paper to the outside of the mini pizza box .
- For the shaker dome, select a snowman from the Let It Snow Specialty DSP to use in the dome. TIP: use another dome to lightly trace around the snowman and cut around the traced area by at least an inch on all sides. This will ensure you cover the entire dome.
- To the dome, add a small amount (a pinch will do) of Snowflake Sequins and Ice Stampin’ Glitter. If you have the Let It Snow Embellishment kit, add a few of the snowballs.
- Now, remove the paper covering the adhesive strip on the shaker dome. Add the snowman cut from the Let It Snow DSP and press firmly to seal the shaker dome.
- To finish the inside of the lid, cut a piece of Real Red cardstock 3-3/8″ x 3-3/8″ and add to cover the back of the shaker dome. If desired, add a stamped sentiment to fit your theme.
- Lastly, finish the mini pizza box by adding a bow using the 5/8″ Whisper White Flax Ribbon. Adhere to the bottom of the shaker dome using mini glue dots.
Now you have a fun Shaker Dome mini pizza box to use. Even more, it’s a fun gift box! Be sure to comment below and let me know what you’re adding to your shaker dome mini pizza box !
Reminder: Time is running out for Holiday shipping so place your orders soon.
