Do You Like Fries, Santa?

Since today is almost over, it brings us closer to Christmas Eve. I am going to have some family for dinner and a gift exchange, and then another special guest will be visiting...Santa. We are ready!

When I created these Santa suit fry boxes, I had my childen and nieces in mind. In actuality, they wil be for anyone that would like a yummy chocolate treat.

I cut the fry boxes by Lori Whitlock on my Cameo. They were SUPER easy to assemble! I bought the Russell Stover candies at Walgreens for 39 cents each while they were on sale. I thought the wrapper with Santa's face was perfect for each box.

Other Materials:

red, white, black, and silver card stock

Challenges:

Cut It Up ~ Boxing Up the Holidays

Craftaholics R Us ~ Anything Goes

Pause Dream Enjoy Ch ~ Simple Gifts (Anything 3D)

Tuesday Morning Sketches ~ Anything Goes

Moving Along with the Times ~ Anything But a Card

Hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas, Santa

Christmas (and Winter Break) is almost here! The tree is up with a few presents underneath, lights are twinkling on the house, and the weather is definitely chilly.  What is that? I think I can hear...

Up on the rooftop 

Click, click, click 

Down thru the chimney with 

Good Saint Nick 

This stamped sentiment is from My Craft Spot ~ Mistletoe set.

The Santa SVG file is from Too Cute By Jessica ~ Christmas Faces. It was easily cut on my Cameo and adhering was a few pieces that layered nicely.

This photo seems blurry, but it was an action shot since Santa is on an action wobble. I don't even know if they make them still, but I have a few in my stash. It was too fun playing with Santa and watch him dance around in circles wildly.

Other Materials:

red, white, cream, and black card stock

pattern paper by Recollections ~ Cozy Lodge stack

My Favorite Things ~ Blueprints 20

Versafine Black Onyx ink

red gems

Challenges:

Always Fun Challenges ~ Santa

Use Your Stuff ~ Christmas is Coming

Sisterhood of Crafters ~ All About Christmas

Hope that you are on the nice list this year and get everything you wish for!

The Joy of Holiday Giving Blog Co-Hop

Welcome to this co-hop with Die Cuttin’ Diva and Cut It Up. We are so glad that you are joining us today and super excited to share our inspiration with you.

We have a line-up of DT members from both teams sharing Holiday Treats and we are hoping you enjoy them all. Our teams even had to play Secret Santa and send their project to a fellow team member as a surprise. It's all about the joy of giving this holiday season!

I created my project for Nancy on the Die Cuttin' Diva team.
I sure hope she has been good this past year because Santa is ready to visit. I made this 3D Santa box tote from the Silhouette store.  It's perfect for candy treats, a gift card, or some small crafty supplies.

A Tiny Tag and Sentiment by My Craft Spot along with a plaid bow, gold craft thread, and a couple red jingling bells.

Sideview of the 3D tote.

Santa sure is cheerful and I know he has been watching whether you have been naughty or nice. I wonder what he will be bringing you this year?!?!

How about a prize?

I am offering a surprise goodie pack.

Christmas Tic-Tac-Toe at Die Cuttin' Divas

Hello Everyone,

Welcome back and thanks for stopping by on this terrific Tuesday.  Today I am sharing the new challenge at Die Cuttin' Divas. Hope you will join us this week!

This Week's Challenge...

Christmas Tic-Tac-Toe

Here is my Design Team project...

A couple treat bags (the white paper bags are from Dollar Tree - 12 pack) that can be stuffed with a gift card, candy, hand sanitizer, etc. I leave them empty until I know who the recipient is going to be since each person has different wants. I have some friends that can't eat chocolate and others that prefer to buy their own gift. 

This is the Peeking Reindeer from Miss Kate Cuttables.

The stamped sentiment on the tag is from the Mistletoe set by My Craft Spot.

This is the Santa from My Scrap Chick.

The stamped sentiment on the tag is from the Vintage Christmas set by Fiskars.

Other Challenges:

That Craft Place ~ Christmas 

Come an d Get It ~ Anything Goes Christmas

Little Scrap Pieces ~ Show It Off Saturday

Treat Boxes for Jaded Blossom

Hello Crafty Friends,

Today is a FABULOUS day! It is Friday, the last day before Winter Break, and I am Guest Designer at Jaded Blossom. 

I am SUPER excited to be a Guest Designer for Jaded Blossom. I love these stamps...they always put a smile on my face. Thank you Michelle and Candace for allowing me to be a part of this special month.

My Guest Designer Project...

A Santa and an elf treat box using the Jaded Blossom Christmas Poop stamp set. Of course, I used Hershey Kisses for the treat!

The boxes are from Silhouette on-line store.

A close-up of the funny, but slightly odd-humor stamp. My students will surely enjoy them. Since they are 10 years old, they will think these are "cool". 

The bottoms of the Hershey Kisses are decorated with Christmas Candies stamp.

Other Materials:
Red sheer ribbon with stripes
black and white twine
red buttons
Versafine Onyx Black ink

Thanks again Candace and Michelle for allowing me to be a Guest Designer. I am looking forward to all the projects from the rest of the Guest Designers this month!

November Challenge at 3 Girl JAM ~ Holiday with Ribbon

Hello Crafty Friends,

Welcome back for a new 3 Girl JAM monthly challenge. You are definitely going to want to join us this month, so you can get a jumpstart on your holiday cards!

The Challenge...

Christmas/Holiday with Ribbon

 Here is my Design Team project...

Ho! Ho! Ho! Santa is checking his list..I sure hope I am on the"nice" list. I think I have been pretty good this year. I don't really want or need anything (well...maybe a few new stamps), but I sure do like the holiday season. I will definitely be looking forward to enjoying the two weeks off. : )

Santa (Design ID #52758) is from the Silhouette On-line store. Another cute design by Lori Whitlock. The base card was cut from Campin Critters (either p. 38 or p. 47). I used the sign feature and cut it at 3 3/4" with the top layer being 3 1/2".

I used the red ribbon from the Red, White, and Blue Bundle (4 yards of each color for $5.97). Perfect for numerous occasions, especially Christmas. The stamp is from Barb at BugBites.

Hope you will join us at 3 Girl JAM with your newest holiday project.

Santa's Coming Soon

Hello Crafty Friends,

 

Hoping you are ready for the holidays since they are approaching quickly. Only a few more days then all the anticipation will be over.

 

I made this card to share at Little Scrap Pieces ~ Fun Friday Design Team. There is a new challenge that begins today and will last one week. The other Little Scrap Sisters have created festive Santa projects too. Be sure to check them out!

 

Challenge...Santa Baby

 I used Santa in his sleigh (3 1/4") from Jolly Holidays on this black 5X5 card base. I have been using them this week and I sure like being able to work on a bigger space.

I decided to use the balck and white gigham paper since all the background papers from Canvas Corp were red, white, and black. I tried solid colored cardstock, but Santa blended in to easily.

Santa's sleigh has a wood grain look and the rails are glossy like ice.

I used the Creative Cutter Room bow maker to create this double bow. I love how it looks! I trimmed the ends of the ribbon to make pennant points.

Other Challenges:
My Time to Craft ~ Santa
Bitten by the Bug 2 ~ Santa
 

Hope you will join us at Little Scrap Pieces this week and create your own Santa project.

 

Looking forward to your submissions this week.

 

Happy Holidays,

Georgiana
