Christmas Gift Treat Bag

These treat bags were made for some sugar-free almond brittle I made for some family/friends. The cut file for the treat bags is very simple. It is from SVG Cuts' Tied Surprise Gift Boxes SVG Collection.  I used the trellis gift bag design, but I didn't use the trellis, and I altered it to add about 2-1/2" to the height. 

The flap at the top is done with print-2-cut, as was the Merry Christmas card/label on the front.
The digital paper is one of my faves, from Adrienne Looman's Mistletoe Kisses paper pack.

Notice the bag on the right, how the pattern goes vertically. Yeah, that was a mistake, but I had to get them out in the mail so that's the way it goes. ha! 

Christmas Treats for the Sweets!

Gift Card Slider Holders

I designed these present gift card holders for the great nieces and nephews for Christmas. I made 18 of them. Took awhile, as I'm not an experienced designer, so even though it's a simple one by most standards, I had to make a couple of prototypes before I was satisfied with it.

.Here are some singles so you can see how it works.

I also made the small gift tags using print-2-cut for each of the holders.

Thanks for taking a look!

TIME TO SHOP, KIDS!

Santa's Got a Beard Advent Calendar

Santa really needs a beard! This darling Santa advent calendar is a fun way for the little ones to count down the days until the jolly man in the red suit arrives. I did not come up with this idea. It was posted by numerous people in numerous places (and I can't remember exactly where, but I bet you could find it on Pinterest).

I redesigned it using the Santa cut file from SVG Cuts. I used the poem that was on the posting, and put it on a scroll in Affinity Photo. I printed the numbers on 12x12" cardstock, then put some laminate on there, so that after Christmas the cotton balls could be removed, and it could be used another year. The entire poster is glued onto some foam board to keep its shape.

I put double-sided tape on each cotton balls, so they could pull the backing off and stick it right onto the number.

This is a fun one for the little ones! Give it a try!
