'Tis the Season for Cookies

Hi Crafty Friends,
Mrs. Claus has made A LOT of cookies to fuel Santa this Christmas. This cookie shaker is in honor of the lady behind the scenes. She is C.C Designs Mrs. Claus Swissie. I put little gingerbread sequins in the shaker and made chocolate chip cookies out of Distressed Edge Circle Dies.

Make Crafty Friends Q & A:
Q: What is your favorite Christmas Cookie?
A: Me? Gingerbread



Supplies:
C.C Designs Mrs. Claus Swissie

Nordic Bundled Snowmen

Hi Crafty Friends,
I have a masculine Christmas card for you today featuring Poppy Stamps Nordic Bundled Snowman 2745 and Nordic Snowflake Border Die 2739. I love all of Poppy Stamps Snowman dies, they are so unique and easy to put together.

Make Crafty Friends Q & A:
Q: Which Poppy Stamps snowman did is your favorite?
A: Me? I love the Nordic Bundled Snowman

Step #1: I started my card by making two Poppy Stamp Nordic Snowmen 2745 out of different shades of green from Poppy Stamps Leafy Green 6x6 Paper Pad SP1011. I flipped one to make them mirror each other. 


Step #2: I created my background with Poppy Stamps Scalloped Pinpoint Frame Die in green to match the snowmen and plaid from the Memory Box Anemone Plaid 6x6 Paper Pad PP1025.

Step #3: I added the Poppy Stamps Nordic Snowflake Border Set in gold to my background plaid paper for extra holiday shine.
Step #4: I finished my card by adding the snowmen and a shiny sentiment using Poppy Stamps Merry Christmas Cheerful Script Die 2741.
