Unfortunately, not everything is SU!, but I was super excited to use my favorite color combo from page 20 of the holiday catalog: Lost Lagoon, Soft Sky, Smoky Slate, Pear Pizzaz, and Whisper White PLUS silver glimmer paper . This became the foundation of my inspirations.
I just had to CASE the gift box shown on pg 20 of the Holiday Catalog because it was all around beautiful. Of course I made it my own using the gift box punch board and the All is Calm DSP. I'm now kicking myself that I didn't take a picture of the tops of the gift boxes when I had the chance but you can at least see a couple of them below.
The other two projects I created as gifts for the ladies at my table, are 1- a decorative easel and 2- a bookmark. These ideas emerged from my desire to use the Newborn King stamp set from page 19 of the Holiday catalog. An absolutely beautiful set it is!

Below is a list of where I got my supplies:
- table cloth and white mugs - Bed Bath and beyond
- placemats and cloth napkins - Target
- garland, decorations, round mirror, decorative candle holders - Hobby Lobby
- wine glasses - Dollar General
- plates - borrowed from a friend (but I saw them at the Dollar General)
- mini Easel and mini canvas - Michaels
- silverware - from my own home
My tips:
- mini canvas
- I used black stazon ink to stamp the image directly onto the canvas. I colored in the trees using markers and a watercolor brush.
- I used some silver 1/8" ribbon to create a bow and adhere to the top of the snowflake embellishment with a glue dot.
- stamp "Glory..." onto white cardstock and adhere to canvas with tombo glue.
- bookmark
- fold a piece of 4" x 3.25" DSP or cardstock in half, making sure that it opens from left to right. Decorate as desired including ribbon. Sew top and right side. EASY PEASY.
I am pleased with the turnout and cannot express how thankful I am for having Stampin' UP! as my inspiration to my creations. I'm also thankful for being able to be a part of this fun event with my friends.
Thank you for stopping by! Let me know what you think.
Until next time.....
