Pocket Folders....Winner...SWEET STUFF!!!

Happy Thursday to everyone! I hope that you are all having a magnificent week and are almost ready for a great weekend! Sorry I have been missing in action but I have been so much under the weather...AND on Tuesday of next week I will have to have oral surgery including extraction of 2 teeth and bone grafting...so please wish me luck!!! I am terrified!!!

Today is my turn to show a project at the Holiday Countdown Series at the CutCardStock Blog and would love for you to come visit me there!! I made a couple of 6 pocket folders to fill with hot chocolate mixes and spiced cider mixes. The project is not something I invented but after seeing it some 6-7 years ago, it remains one of my favorite projects to make and have on hand when I need a quick little gift. 

On the first folder I used the lovely Holly Vine Die from Whimsy Stamps and on the second folder I used the cute little Letter to Santa from the Art by Mi Ran Collection at Whimsy Stamps. You can find all of my instructions at the CutCardStock Blog. I hope you will try it and let me see your creative take on this fun project!!

WINNER!!!

I am sorry that I am late with announcing the winner of the IO Christmas Icons Die Set and hope you understand. Mr Random.org has made his selection and the winner is.....

Gift Card Ornaments...SWEET STUFF...Winners!!

A very happy Friday to everyone!! Gosh, I hope you are as ready for the weekend as I am. This has been a trying week. I have been at the oral surgeon, then had a flu shot, and have been sick sick sick ever since! But tomorrow is a NEW day!! lol

Today is my turn to post at the CutCardStock Blog and again I have created something that is a bit different for me. I dislike shopping so much and love the idea of gift cards...so I have made some ornament/tags to put the gift cards in. I have been inspired by the very talented Kittie Caracciolo who is such a master of 3D and tiny scenes.

I have given directions on the CutCardstock Blog and would love for you to come over and visit me!! I have mostly used the Impression Obsession Christmas Icons die set to create my little scenes and as you can see the set consists of 8 separate dies:

SWEET STUFF!!

I bought an extra set of these cute dies to give to some lucky Follower. All I am asking is that you leave a comment on this posting and go over and leave a comment on my CutCardstock Blog posting before Sunday at midnight ET and you will be in for the draw for the die set. Good Luck!!

WINNERS!!
