Christmas in July at Craftin' Desert Divas

Hello Crafty Friends,

Today brings a new Linky Party at Craftin' Desert Divas hosted by Tara.

Party Theme is...

Christmas in July

Here is my project...

A Gingerbread belly box from My Scrap Chick and a Craftin' Desert Diva Holly Day Pun stamp.

My daughter thought I cheated on this one because I didn't bake cookies for my treat bag. I had good reason...I didn't want the cookies to sit until Christmas time. Well...you remember that commercial where the lady takes the Fiber One bars and cuts them up to pass off as her own (and the hubby catches her)? I sort of did the same...except I used a Fiber One Lemon bar. : ) It is all in the holiday spirit, right?!?  

Other Materials:

kraft, white, black, and brown card stock

pattern paper from scrap box

pink pearls
black and brown ink

3 Girl JAM crinkle ribbon

Spellbinder ~ Big Scalloped Oval

pink and green craft thread

Hope you will join us for this "Christmas in July" linky party at Craftin' Desert Divas! The more projects you submit, the better chance you have to win! Visit Craftin' Desert Divas for all the rules and to play along.

Sponsors for this Linky Party...

CDD ~ one stamp set
My Scrap Chick ~ $10 Coupon Code
May Arts Ribbon ~ 3 Millimeter Diamond Chain

Stay Creative,

Daily Post with Holly Day Puns at Craftin' Desert Divas

Hello Crafty Friends,

Welcome back and thanks for stopping by!  Today is my day to share a perfect "Holly Day" stamp from Craftin' Desert Diva's new stamp line. I am thinking with this HOT weather a little winter saying might feel refreshing and cool you off.

Here is my Design Team project...

Isn't this polar bear from KaDoodle Bug Design super cute?!?!

Here is a close-up of the Holly Day stamp...I added some blue Stickles around the edge to match the polar bear's scarf.  

A crinkle ribbon bow with a stick pin I made using pink, green, and white beads.

Here is the fun set you will surely enjoy...

Have you seen all the other stamps from the release...be sure to check them out!

Stay Creative,

And now for my project...
I am using the Holly Days Puns and even though it is summer the thought of hot cocoa is still delicious, especially with LOTS of marshmallows.

These mugs from My Scrap Chick can be used for any type of gift. Just change the colors and/or contents and they can be extremely versatile. You could use them for coffee with the k-cups or even tea.

I stuffed my baggies with marshmallows and tied them with crinkle ribbon and twine. The 2 1/2" tag from Plantin Schoolbook Cricut cartridge was attached to each. I found that tiny Hershey Kiss SVG file by searching on Google. I used silver card stock and crumbled it to make it look like the foil.

Winners will be picked from a different blog each day, so the more you comment the more chances you have to win.
