Stocking Stuffers?

Are you ready for Christmas? If you’re looking for a cute little “stocking stuffer or last minute “packing idea” Joy has a fabulous idea for you. I really meant to post this earlier… but I figure it’s better late than never, right? Here’s what Joy has to say:

“I used the Bracket Closure Box file to create a stacked box display.  It’s ready for gift giving or just as a cute holiday decoration!  All paper is from Echo Park’s Seasons Greetings pack and the chipboard ornaments, snowflake and button are also by Echo Park.  After cutting the boxes using my Silhouette Cameo, I just added a bit of glue to the sides, folded and the box was assembled!  You’re going to love how easy they are to put together!  I tied two of the boxes using bakers twine.  The third box is secured with a glue dot.  The adorable Santa was printed from my printer and cut with my Silhouette.  Santa comes from Lori’s Christmas Set #2.  These boxes are perfect for holding small gifts, candy or even a letter to Santa!”

We all know that presentation makes such a difference in our gift giving. With the Silhouette Cameo or whatever machine you may have, it’s really easy to create a box to make your gift look amazing. Joy  created the cutest bracket window boxes and filled them with awesome treats/gifts that would make perfect little stocking stuffers, too.

Thanks JOY for sharing these cute ideas with us!

Have fun wrapping up your holiday gift giving this year. And most of all have a very Merry Christmas, EVERYONE!!

Advent Calendar

I have a real treat for you today! Linda Auclair designed a stunning advent calendar using my Season’s Greetings collection that I designed for Echo Park Paper. You can download a handy instruction sheet that Linda put together right HERE. December is just a couple of days away… so if you’re planning to make an advent calendar… you still have some time.

This is the completed tree.

This is the wooden base that Linda found at a craft store.


Hopefully this inspires you to create something FUN today! Be sure to download the instructions HERE. I’d like to thank Linda for sharing this fabulous project with us. Please let Linda know how lovely her project is by leaving a comment for her below! Have a great day!

SVG Gingerbread House & Fall Wreath

Today I have a  real treat for you. Two of my amazing design team members have completed some absolutely FANTASTIC projects for you to take a look at. I am so excited to show these to you!

The first project is by Carolyn King… it’s the cutest little gingerbread house ever! She’s used my gingerbread house file found HERE.  She also used patterned paper from two different Echo Park collections to make the house: Season’s Greetings and Holly Jolly. The tree, gingerbread man and candy canes and candy are some of the embellishments that come with the gingerbread house file. To read more details about Carolyn’s project, visit her post.

The second project that I have for you today is by Corri Garza. She’s put together the cutest autumn mantle decor using some of my SVG files. For her wreath, Corri used a foam wreath as a base from a craft store. And, she used my SVG leaf files available HERE. For her banner she used my nested frame set SVG files HERE. Visit Corri’s post to read more of the details about her beautiful wreath and banner projects.

Feel free to let Corri and Carolyn know what you think of their super awesome projects! Have a great Monday!
