Guest Designer Rhonda Van Ginkel ~ Darling Ornament!

Wednesday crafty greetings to you! I’m excited to bring to you a fun little project today that I created with my December Quick Quotes Club Q kit. I thought it would be fun to mix up my projects a bit and create an ornament for the tree! Every year I create a few ornaments that are special to me for our tree. This is my Quick Quotes ornament for 2011 featuring my two sweet little guys. : )

To create this ornament I used the Tim Holtz Accordion Flower die by Sizzix. I created two and sandwiched them together. The cute little gingerbread men are stamps by A. Jillian Vance Design and represent my kids. I colored them with my Copics.

 

I added a layer on either side of a punched snowflake. Using my Epiphany Crafts Round 25 Bubble Caps and Metal Charms were a perfect accent and provided a wonderful way to hang the ornament!

I punched holes through the center of the snowflakes so my hanger ribbon could be threaded.

Here is the flip side. I just love that sweet gingerbread man! A little Diamond Stickles on top of my snowflake and voila~! A sandwich view.

Ingredients: December Club Q Kit– Quick Quotes PowderPuff Chalk Ink; “Bloody Mary” – Quick Quotes Accordian Flower Die – Tim Holtz for Sizzix Snowflake Punches – Martha Stewart Bubble Caps Round 25 (2) - Epiphany Crafts Round Metal Charm 25 (2) – Epiphany Crafts Shape Studio Tool Round 25 – Epiphany Crafts Stamps; "Christmas Baking Treats" – A. Jillian Vance Design Copic Markers Diamond Stickles - Ranger Beacon’s 3 in 1 – Quick Quotes Grand Calibur – Spellbinders Other: Ribbon Thanks for spending a moment with me here today!  Have yourself a super scrappity day as we get ready to ring in 2012!!! ~ Rhonda

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Nutty Season!

Nutty Season!

Well my Dad's favorite snack is Cashews! 

So I decided to fancy up his can for Christmas!  And since Jillian has a great poem for that Nutty gift it was a perfect match!

I found this "manly" Christmas paper and wrapped the can in it.

I then cut a strip of red paper to wrap around it also.  Used Spellbinders Labels 8 for the three layers of tags.  Then stamped the sentiment in Black Archival to the smallest.  Wrapped ribbon around them, tied the bow and TADA!  A quick and easy gift wrap!

Reindeer Poop! ~ Missing ? ? ?

Reindeer Poop! ~ Missing ? ? ? 

Well here is my Reindeer Poop post ~ With a missing Reindeer Poop bag!

Yes we had the treat bag of Chocolate Covered Raisins and can't find it anywhere ~ used it as a prop for a show and someone must have snagged it!  So anyway here is a simple and cute treat topper for that missing bag!

I used the brown theme as I love this gingham paper!  I stamped the circle in Red Archival and the Reindeer in Coffee Archival as well as the Poem!  A little polka dot ribbon and it is good to go!

Thanks for stopping by today!

Merry and Most Wonderful Treats!

Merry and Most Wonderful Treats!

Well I have to say M & M's are my favorite candy!  Peanut ones especially!

So for my Treat holder today I made a Sour Cream container!  Now we purchased the paper crimper a year or so ago and I never used it!  So it was time to whip it out!

I cut my paper 4 1/2 by 5 1/2 then used my ATG gun to adhere it like a tube of toilet paper!

Then one end you flatten one way, used adhesive and then crimp and the do the other end the opposite way.  I find if you use adhesive on all sides before you put the tube together it is so much easier.

Then I tied some ribbon around it and Pear Pinned on the tag cut from a Spellbinders™ Labels 8 die.

The stamp is from Holiday Treats and found HERE!

Snowman Poop

Would you like a little Snowman Poop?

This cute little box is from SVG Cuts.com Tied Suprise Gift Boxes found HERE.  They are quick and easy to make!  I then used the Spellbinder circle to cut out the front of the box so you can

see the "poop" inside :) Which I put in a nice little baggie.

I used the Scallop punch and the 1 1/2 inch scallop punch with the Holiday Treats Stamp set found HERE.

I tied it with a ribbon from Hobby Lobby and pinned the Snowman Poop Poem on with a Pear Pin and

TADA . . . A cute little treat box!

Thanks for looking ~ God Bless, 

Jillian

Mr and Mrs Moustache

Mr and Mrs Moustache

Well I just had to do this!!!  As soon as I got our stamples {what Jillian calls the stamp set samples} I went to work! and this is what I came up with ~ CUTE, if I do say so myself!

So I cut a piece of Teresa Collins Black and White Polka Dot then rounded the corners with my corner chomper.  Used Spellbinders™ Labels Eight for the Black and White card stock layers.  Tied Red Rinkle Ribbon { available at our Show Booth} on the Black layer then layered the White on top.  

I used Black Archival for the Hat and Moustache and Crimson Archival for the Bow Tie and Lips.  Iced Spruce for the strand of pearls and the Bow for the bride's hair is in Spun Sugar (faint but cute in person!)

I then used the individual stamps of The, Mr. & Mrs. and put them together to fit on a Spellbinders™ Grommet Tag ~ my go to tag again!!!

Topped them off with cute little heart Brad I found in the brad drawer!

Mr and Mrs. Moustache can be pre-ordered HERE.

S'more Treats! Merry Kiss-Mas!

S'more Treats
 Well I got the bright idea to use Teddy Grahams, mini marshmallows and Hersey Kisses {could use chocolate chips but Kisses give you more Chocolate!}
to make a S'more Treat bag!  I then used textured card stock and layered the scallop and round punches to make the tag.  Then added the Rinkle Ribbon for a cute little look!  We are all about simple this time of year when other things are pulling at us too!
i got the bags at Hobby Lobby in the jewelry department!  They come in 3 x 4 and 4 x 6 depending on how much you want to fill them.

Merry Kiss-Mas

Here I used the same punches to create the Merry Kiss-Mas Treat Bag, I will call it my Dirty Merry Kiss-Mas ~ I just love Kraft Paper!  Please leave a comment!  Follow us on Facebook

Sweet Season!

Well since it is my last week of school before Christmas break, seems like I am getting a TON of homework!  So I made this tag, simple, easy and SWEET!

What a cute little treat!  Two candy canes (Starburst in fact, Strawberry and Green Apple ~ my favorites!)

I used Christmas Baking Treats for my tag. The circle sentiment is stamped in silver pigment ink on red card stock and the candy icon in Crimson Archival ink.  I used the 1 1/2 inch circle punch for the red and the Epiphany Crafts Round 25 for the inside candy circle.

Then layered them all on a Scallop  2 inch circle, punched a hole and Pear Pinned it on the Rinkle Ribbon!

Mail Man and Paper Delivery Treats

Here I used the same tag as I didn't think we need to to say Merry Kiss-Mas to the people we don't really know! Please leave a comment!  Follow us on Facebook

I used Christmas Blessings Stamp set for the sentiment stamped with Black Archival Ink!
