Twelve Days of Blog Candy - Days 8 & 9

DAY 7 WINNER: COLLEEN BOHN

I haven't been very timely with these posts lately, have I? Actually, it's not due to laziness, I've been busy the last few days preparing for a party my daughter had here with some of her friends last night, and my internet went wonky yesterday, too. I guess everyone was home streaming movies on Netflix or shopping on Amazon! So, I'm going to do something different for Days 8 & 9 of my Twelve Days of Blog Candy 2011. I'm going to give away a free printable sheet of gift tags for EVERYONE!

I used some pre-made designer template images from the Home for the Holidays Ensemble digital download for My Digital Studio® and pasted the "To-From" tags to fill up one whole page, then turned that into a PDF for you. These are ready to print out, and you can hand trim them out as circles, or you can use any of several punches. The punches used on the tags below are (clockwise from top): 1-3/4" Circle, Ornament, Full Heart, Decorative Label, 1-3/4" Scallop Circle. I printed these out on Whisper White card stock, making sure to print the PDF at full size. To do that, ensure the print dialog is set as Page Scaling: None.

Is there a set you're waiting to see me give away? If so, leave me your comment below with the set name. You never know, Santa may be reading my blog!

Twelve Days of Blog Candy - Day 7

DAY 5 WINNER: Marsha Edwards
DAY 6 WINNER: Jean Fitch

Okay...back on schedule now...here is my giveaway for Day 7 of Twelve Days of Blog Candy 2011. You must read and follow the rules posted HERE.  Please remember that you must put your first and last name, and email address, in the body of the comment, or your entry may be disqualified.

This giveaway features the A Cardinal Christmas stamp set. I don't think the set has been used at all.  I'm also throwing in some Christmas Cocoa Designer Series Paper. There are about 28 6x6 double-sided sheets, and about 16 single-sided flocked sheets. The wood on the stamp set is not covered with any protectant, but you could cover it with clear nail polish if you wanted. This is another stamp set I inherited from my mom, so it is not as closely trimmed as mine. But since the etching in the rubber of the images is deep, that should not be a problem. The front and back closeup views of the set are also shown below. [click any photo to see it full-size]

Good Luck! And remember, you can get 10 Bonus Entries in each day's giveaway when you make a purchase from my ONLINE STORE during my Twelve Days of Blog Candy 2011!

NOTE: You must enter this giveaway by commenting below, no later than 6:59am MST on December 20, 2011.  See rules for format of comment entries HERE.

Twelve Days of Blog Candy - Day 5

DAY 4 WINNER: Diana Miller

Okay, I sort of took a "day off" yesterday, so today we'll actually have two days of blog candy to give away. This is the belated Day 5 giveaway...be sure to also check out the Day 6 giveaway, which has the same entry deadline!

Here is my giveaway for Day 5 of Twelve Days of Blog Candy 2011. You must read and follow the rules posted HERE.  Please remember that you must put your first and last name, and email address, in the body of the comment, or your entry may be disqualified.

This giveaway features the elegant Poinsettia Greetings stamp set, and a coordinating holly wheel. I have no idea what the actual name of the wheel is, as the label is missing, but the artwork definitely coordinates well with the stamp set! The stamp set was gently used, with clear lacquer protecting the wood. This is another stamp set I inherited from my mom, so it is not as closely trimmed as mine. But since the etching in the rubber of the images is deep, that should not be a problem. The front and back closeup views of the set are also shown below. [click any photo to see it full-size]

Polar Bear Treat Box

Okay, I absolutely had to have the Polar Party stamp set...it has the cute polar bear you see below, and also some holiday items like trees, gifts, and there are also two little penguins in the set! I really bought it solely because the penguins were so cute, and I thought that might be all I'd use from the set. But as I was making this project, I noticed that the polar bear fit perfectly within the frame, so he's my favorite in the set for now. The dangling Mini Jingle Bells really complete this project! I'm having a hard time with my lighting lately, so you'll have to trust me when I say this project looks super cute in real life!

This is a variation on a box I made previously--you can find the relevant dimensions on THIS BLOG POST. I chose to make these for my daughter to take to school for her teachers and friends, because the box is not attached to the little wraparound strip. See, we've made adorable treat containers before, and her friends just ripped them apart in their haste to get the candies. This way, they just slide the box out and open it...and our loving handiwork remains intact, so others can covet the packaging :-) I put some Merci chocolates inside, they were on sale at our corner Walgreens (usually $8 box, on sale 2 for $7). Eight of the individual chocolates fit in each treat box without any trouble or special care as to arrangement, and they are YUMMY.

I also just wanted to say that it's not too late to do some holiday crafting. I whipped out 10 of these simple and easy boxes from 4:00 to 6:00 this morning. (It's my daughter's last day of school til after Winter Break, so I had to get them done before I took her to the bus stop!) The designing is the hardest part, and I've already done that for you :-) The great thing about this Polar Party stamp set is that you can use the penguins and polar bear all winter long. Let's say you are too booked up with holiday chores and events right now and don't get your treats made until after Christmas. No problem, it's still winter for a few more months, and you can't tell me there's anyone who would not LOVE to get this little treat box as a "thinking of you" gift in January!!!

Stampin' Supplies: Polar Party stamp set, Sassy Sparkles Jumbo Wheel, Pool Party card stock, Pool Party ink pad & marker, Pool Party Ruffled Ribbon, Basic Black ink pad, Whisper White card stock, Cherry Cobbler card stock, Lucky Limeade marker, Real Red marker, Crumb Cake marker, Basic Grey marker, Pink Pirouette marker, Stampin' Sponge, Mini Jingle Bells, Linen Thread, 1/2" Circle Punch, Box #2 die (used with Big Shot), Textured Impressions Designer Frames Embossing Folder (used with Big Shot), Stampin' Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Glue.

Twelve Days of Blog Candy 2011 - Day 3

DAY 2 WINNER: Suzanne Schlesier

Sorry to take so long to get this posted today...I thought I was having computer issues this morning, but it turns out (after several hours) that the problem was NOT on my end! Then, I forgot to charge my camera battery, which was just poor planning on my part. In my defense, I've been trying to get rid of a terrible sinus headache that's been pounding behind my eyes since last night. My day can only get better from here :-)

Anyway, here is my giveaway for Day 3 of Twelve Days of Blog Candy 2011. You must read and follow the rules posted HERE.

This giveaway features the Season's Sketches Two-Step stamp set, which has 4 outline stamps, and 4 shape stamps. Because this stamp set does not have any sayings, I'm throwing in what I have left of a package of Season of Cheer rub-Ons. (all shown below) You can only see the chocolate colored rub-ons in the picture, but there are some white ones in there underneath also. The stamp set was gently used, with clear nail polish protecting the wood on the rubber side of the stamp. The front and back closeup views of the set are also shown below.

Good Luck! And remember, you can get 10 Bonus Entries in each day's giveaway when you make a purchase from my ONLINE STORE during my Twelve Days of Blog Candy 2011!
