Hello. Here is another idea with the reindeer theme. This is a petite noodle box, a great size for a few homemade bliss balls or some nuts or sweets. Draw a reindeer head. Cut out, then glue on the red nose circle cut from cardstock. You can use black felt tip for the eyes if […]

Seasons Greetings everyone. In recent years I have leaned towards edible gifting for Christmas gifts. Definition of a Home chef foodie?

A lot of food and gift products are packaged in a decent size cardboard box, that weight card will work perfectly. If your Christmas tree is lacking colour, this is a […]

Here is another box that only requires the one sheet of 12″ x 12″ cardstock. I made delicious bliss balls, I call them Chocolate Bombs! This is a Stampin Up bird punch, really love this punch and find it very versatile. Add some garden twigs, cotton threads and a holly pick and you have a […]

Here is a beautiful new stamp I purchased from Unna Burch, from The Forest Cantina. I have used it as my Christmas wrapping theme and found it most versatile! Other ideas; a sprinkle of jewels, or perhaps the simplicity of nature… Miss Mouse, made of felt, is from Citta Homewares. Here is the jewelled tag, […]
