Hello stampers and happy Friday to you. Today I have a lot of fun ideas for you. First off are some adorable treat holders that you can use all year long to surprise and delight. This Merry Bold & Bright paper is super for a non-traditional Christmas but also for any fun occasion. I love versatile patterned paper! All you need is a 2 3/8″ circle punch and some strips of paper 3″ by 6″ scored at 2 3/4″ and 3 1/4″. Find some coordinating ribbon to make a fun handle and accessorize as desired.
Retro Christmas Lights Card
Not only is this set great for treat holders, it is also super fun for cards. I only had time to make one card, but I sure hope to make some more with the bright paper and fun dies.
I love that the words have white letters surrounded by a block of a colour. It’s almost like magic!! The bases for the Christmas lights are cut with dies. You can choose from an open die or a detailed die. Mine are made from adhesive backed silver and gold glimmer paper but I am afraid that it might be sold out at the moment. I sure hope it comes back in stock. The lesson in this is that when you see something super cute, order right away!!
Video Tutorial
Seeing is believing. Watch this video tutorial and learn not only how to make these adorable treat holders, but also a fun card with retro Christmas lights.
Fun Christmas Light Dies
I had a lot of fun stamping the retro Christmas light bulbs in various colours. It sure brought back memories of being a child and sorting through the replacement bulbs for just the right shade. My mom loved going to auction sales, so many of our strings of lights had a few missing bulbs. She also had lots of little boxes of replacement bulbs, with a mixture of clear and opaque bulbs. Oh the magic of Christmas lights!!
