***And now on to the show***

 

For my first project, I made a little gift tag using the Believe in the Magic set.  Here’s the outside of the tag:

 

And here’s the inside:

 

I cut the tag with my Zing using Make-The-Cut and then used a stamp positioner to stamp the reindeer and sentiment in Dark Chocolate ink.  I finished it off with a little bit of Christmas Trendy Twine.

 

For my second project, I decorated K-Cups for gift giving or just to decorate for the holidays!

 

Did you know a K-Cup fits perfectly in a 3 oz. Dixie cup?  I just figured it out this weekend so I covered one with patterned paper and then decorated the tops of the cups with the same paper and the new Christmas Carol Circle Stamps set.  Here’s a better view of the tops:

 

A 2” circle fits the top of the cups perfectly and then I added the stamps (you can punch them out with 1 1/4” and 1” circle punches respectively) with matching scalloped circles of red cardstock.  I finished each off with a button tied with Christmas Trendy Twine.  The tops have a tiny bit of ATG tape to hold them to the cups so they’re easily removed for use.  I hope you like my projects!

 

Now it’s time to hop on over to Peggy’s amazing blog, but don’t forget to leave me a comment before you go so you can be in the running for a new release prize pack!  Happy Hopping!
