Christmas Love by Natalie and Joy

I love Friday, don’t you? One of my favorite things is have 2 projects to share with you!

I have wanted to make these ever since Lori created this file,“Candy Shaped Box”. I was so happy when I saw that Natalie did it too! She made these adorable party favors for each member coming to dinner. They served double duty as table decorations, place cards and party favors (or should that be triple duty?). What a great idea. For more info head over to Natalie’s blog

 

 

Also to share with you today is this adorable sign/plague that Joy created. She used the new “Naughty is Word Art Title.” Before adding the vinyl, she painted the wood with paint and glitter (a girl after my own heart) and made it sparkle for Christmas. As always Joy has wonderful tutorials about how to cut and add vinyl to any project, so don’t be afraid to try. Her blog will lead you through, step by step.  Thanks ladies, your projects are beautiful!

Christmas Village by Christine

I have always wanted a Christmas Village in my house, but I could never find a safe place to put one, until now. Look at what Christine has created. By making these out of paper, I wouldn’t worry about the table being bumped and/or them being knocked off (I have some rambunctious boys.) I love that she created such a beautiful decoration out of paper.

Christine says “The time to decorate for the holidays is upon us and I am adding a few new things to my home decor this year.  This sweet little Christmas Village is one of them.  Every little bit of this village was made with files from Lori Whitlock’s shop.
The three buildings that I used are the house, church, and tall house.  I cut out the building outside pieces on the two houses twice so that I could have the roof and the sides of the houses two different patterned paper.  There is a second bottom piece in each of the files that is the base of the house.  Each of these were cut out of yellow cardstock so it looks like lights are on in the houses and church.”

I love the detail she has added to each little house.

“I used many different files to decorate the buildings.  I really tried to think outside the box, using files that were intended for other purposes than what I actually used them for.  The best example are the shrubs next to the houses.  They are actually Lori’s Clouds file.  I did trim a little on the bottom so they were totally flat on the bottom edges and then I adhered some flat and others with foam adhesive.”

Christine shares MANY tips on how she created these buildings on her blog, so go visit and leave her some love. Adorable as always Christine!

New in Shop at Lori Whitlock

I have been working hard getting all of Lori’s newest shapes into the shop in time for Christmas. Check out all the new ones she has added this week. So many fun projects, I can’t choose just 1. I want a tile with each of her beautifully designed word art titles on them. I so badly want to make luminaries right now and light them each night, and then of course is the cute santa silverware holder. I think an entire table set with these would be adorable. I am ready for a fun holiday dinner now, at least in my mind. I think the one I will get the most use out of is the gift card holders. I have a few teenagers at my house that want music for their MP3 players and what a great way to present them a gift card. I can’t wait! What are your favorites?

Don’t forget, One Dollar Wednesday at Jessica Sprague is currently on hiatus for the big Holiday Sale. Everything there is 40%, which means a great time to grab your favorite goodies.

 

Gift Card’s and Presents

Do you see Gift Card’s in your list of Christmas Presents? I sure do, and this is an adorable way to present them to your loved ones. Corri has done an amazing job creating this gift card holder with matching tags. Most of these shapes will be released in the shop today so stay tuned. Corri has instructions on her blog for this project, so head over there to learn how she created it.
