There’s some great Winter Park ideas and Tamara has some super cute mustache ideas for you, too!

Block Christmas

I love seasonal decorations that are interactive. I have children and they love to touch and re-arrange my decorations. They know which things they can’t touch and which things they can. This darling set of “Christmas Blocks” made by crafty Natalie is something we’d really enjoy in our home. Natalie has Mod Podged my Block Christmas SVG set to nine wooden blocks to create a puzzle. And, it’s so stinking cute. I think this would make a great gift this holiday season. Shapes used:

Christmas Tags

Hello everyone! I hope you are  having a lovely Thursday! I woke up this morning and decided it was time to do something about my studio. Over the past couple of months things have just piled up in here… and TODAY I hit my breaking point (I know you know what I mean)… It has to be cleaned! Either this “stuff” has to get organized and cleaned up or I’m moving out! I’m starting to purge and organize. Wish me luck. Maybe I’ll post some photos once I’ve completed the clean up process. I’ll keep you posted.

Today, our talented Krissy has made some really cute Christmas tags out of my Winter Park Collection (for Echo Park) to share with us. She’s used the following diecut files:

Christmas Cookie Set

I love how Krissy used the center of the peppermint file to create the flower with a bling brad through the center. I can’t believe it’s time to start thinking about Christmas again, but it is and it’ll be here before we know it. So, if you’re planning to craft something fun this holiday… you better get thinking so you can get it done. I have another super cute idea to share with you. I can’t wait.

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!
