Stampin' Up inspirations for Christmas

A few weeks back, I did a Christmas gift bag workshop with Stampin' Up demonstrator Petronela. You may remember we made these little crackers.  On the weekend, I finally finished off the 14 (yes, 14!!) of these I wanted to do for our  big extended family "Christmas Day"  treat. 

We'll use them as table place settings just for the adults.  (I did something different for the kids.)  Phew!!  How beautiful is the paper- and oh, the stickers!!  They all co-ordinate!!!  I love co-ordination! (Wish i had more help like this in the fashion stakes)

Not too much of a stretch creatively but fun nevertheless. 



This is the template if you want to try some yourself.
5 1/4 inch by 8 inches is the rectangle.
You can visit Shelley Hopps website for full instructions.

Petronela clevely made up some little books for a small Christmas gift.
I borrowed her idea to make up a little token gift for the women of my family.




The "Stampin' Up" motto is CASE
Copy and share everything.
I think its a good motto for our crafty friends too.

PS.  I have to day that I have finally dropped the ball!!  I am now in relaxing holiday mode, catching up with friends and family and reading.  I will impose a self-directed exile next week on all things computers, but can't wait to get back into blogging in the  new year with some fresh ideas, an updated look and regular giveaways!!  First one is coming soon!
