One last Christmas Card for 2014

This is my last card for the Christmas season. I used my Sizzix pop-up card dies once again. I had this Christmas paper from Doodlebug's Home for the Holidays collection. I had a pop-up poinsettia so I couldn't resisit. The Candy Cane is from the Simply Charmed Cricut Cartridge, and the scalloped cirlce is from Winter Woodlands. 

This pop up has a poinsettia die cut that I also purchased. I outlined the poinsettia with a gold pen to give it more dimension, 

Christmas Countdown with Erica's Design Team

Today's card is for Erica's Craft Room Christmas Countdown. The 25th of every month is for Christmas projects. To see more Christmas projects please visit Erica's blog.



Today I made a gift card holder using Hello Kitty Greetings and Simply Charmed. I actually saw this gift card holder on Ashley's blog, http://theglamoroussideofscrapping.blogspot.com/, but I didn't have the cart she used for the stocking. So I looked at my carts, and I found a cute stocking from Simply Charmed. 

This whole thing is about 7" long. I used my Gypsy to weld together the base Hello Kitty shape and the stocking, which I cut out in black. Then I cut out my red stocking from Chatterbox flocked paper.

I also cut a flipped image of the stocking for the back side of the card. Then I added a piece of white cardstock so that I would have a place to write on it. The gift card slips in between the black and red.

Remember, it's never too early to get started on Christmas. Happy Crafting!

For my today's candy theme I decided I would make some home decor. I have these battery powered candles on my mantle, and I change them for every holiday. 

I started with 2" strips of green or red paper around all of the candles so I had something to glue my candy to.

The Candy Canes were cut at 4" and they are from Simply Charmed.

The mint is also cut from Simply Charmed at 4". The lolli pop is from Create a Critter and is at 3.75" because the candle I put them on was much shorter than the rest. I know this is a very simple and easy decoration to create and I hop it gives you some holiday inspiration.

I also entered this project into the Anything Goes Challenge Blog - Anything but a Card Challenge

Happy Crafting!
