Christmas Greetings

Cutest little tins for giving…

Small tins can quickly become great packaging for smaller holiday gifts. These are magnetic spice tins repurposed for gift packing with a few little embellishments.

Both of these tins had a magnet on the bottom which was quickly removed with some scissors.

Tin #1

  1. Using Big Shot create snowflake from Baja Breeze cardstock.
  2. Attach to top of tin with glue dot and top off with rhinestone.
  3. Tie crochet trim around lid of tin.

Tin #2

  1. Cut strip of Designer Series paper to fit on tin. Attach using sticky strip.
  2. Punch snowflake from Baja Breeze, attach to lid with glue dot. Top off with a rhinestone.

Framed pictures are always a holiday hit! The Framed Gift Bundle (124075) offers a fast and affordable way to frame pictures of your family or other memories this holiday season. PLUS you'll get it for 20% off! This frame is beautiful in person and bigger than it looks!

This bundle includes the Definitely Decorative Chunky Frame and Small Chocolate Chip Dotted Flourish Décor Elements, which are perfect for creating a one-of-a-kind contemporary, yet elegant frame.

Santa Treat Bag

The Top Note truly is one of the most versatile Big Shot dies around. It's no wonder that it is one the biggest selling dies! Here's another great use for the Top Note, a little bag perfect for a gift card or holiday treats. A variation on this can easily be adapted for birthdays or a party favour.

Stampin' Up Supply List

Step by Step Directions

  1. Cut two Top Notes out of Crumb Cake cardstock.
  2. Stamp Christmas Collage in Crumb Cake classic ink on Crumb Cake cardstock.
  3. Cut paper sack down to 2.5 inches.
  4. Take top note and punch small oval on the first top note to create a handle. Line up the first one on top of the second one and punch the second handle.
  5. Adhere the two top notes to the treat sac with Sticky Strip. Trim off pointy parts of top note on the bottom.
  6. Stamp greeting in Cherry Cobbler on Very Vanilla cardstock and punch out with the Wide Oval. Attach to the bag with Stampin' Dimensionals.
  7. Stamp Santa in Early Espresso classic on Very Vanilla. Cut out and then color hat with Real Red marker, tongue with Regal Rose and skin with Blush Blossom. Attach Santa to the bag with Stampin' Dimensionals.

These bags make an affordable stocking stuffer or teacher's gift, so get out that Big Shot and some treat sacs to create some handmade gifts from the heart!

Cutest little treat box….

One of the best part of the holidays is figuring out the best way to package all of your gifts.

For small gifts, look no further than the Pillow Box Bigz Die (113466) for the Big Shot! This box goes together easily with some sticky strip and then you can top if off as desired. Here a satin ribbon and punch art flower add finishing touches.

Step by Step Directions

  1. Cut Pillow Box out of Crumb Cake cardstock using Big Shot.
  2. Stamp snowflake from Season of Joy randomly on box using Versamark.
  3. Assemble box by adding sticky strip along the flap and on one end.
  4. Run Real Red Satin Ribbon around the box end to end, securing seams on the back of the box with SNAIL.
  5. Punch two Five Petal Flowers out of Real Red and then stick them together using SNAIL. Punch little flower from Trio Package out of Old Olive and then add to centre of flower using SNAIL.
  6. Stamp "merry" from Tiny Tags in Real Red on Very Vanilla cardstock. Punch out with Jewellery Tag.
  7. Set brad from Vintage Trinkets through tab on tag and then through the flower layers using the paper piercing tool.
