Creative Cuts & More Christmas Hop


Thanks for joining us today for the
Creative Cuts & More 
November Blog Hop!
Today the Creative Cuts & More talented designers are sharing some more fabulous Christmas projects with you!
So, settle on in & hop along with us!

Hopefully you started at the beginning & hopped along from my sister, Becky's, blog to get here (she's so creative, don'tcha think!).  If not, you really don't want to miss what all these designers have done for you today! So start HERE & work your way back to me!
OH! I almost forgot! What would a Christmas Hop be with out a little CANDY?!!
CC&M is giving away this fabulous Christmas Card Kit (a $29.99 value)!
One lucky winner can get a huge jump on making those fabulous Holiday cards simply by doing the following:

*Leave a comment on EACH designers blog
*Leave a comment on the Die Cut Diva Blog after you've finished hopping to let us know you've completed the hop!

I've got 3 little projects to share with you today, so grab a cup of coffee & settle down to share some fun holiday projects with me!
A small tablescape, pretty little packaging & a recipe apron card

Let's start with the little Tablescape I made...
This is simply the Rectangle Accordian Mini-Album w/Layers stamped with some religious Christmas stamps that I embossed with copper & stretched out to stand up. I only used the layers sporadically because I love green so much! (it's the Bazzill Canvas in Leapfrog with the layers in Copper Stardream Metallic)



On the back I stamped the word "Rejoice" & embossed it again in copper. I plan to place the among some little poinsettia's on my table this year. (the trees are from my stash)

Next, I made this fun little treat box out of the Peek-a-View box in "Lapis Laxuli' Stardream Metallic cardstock...
These boxes are super fun & easy to put together with the Tacky Tapes & are going to be so great to full with goodies for teacher or neighbor gifts!!
I attached the cute little snowman inside the bottom of the box & the mittens on the outside edge (all from my stash) to give it a little more dimension.
Isn't it fun!! I only filled it up a little bit, but imagine how fun it would be to fill it all up & have the snowman appear as the treats are gobbled up!!!

Lastly, I made another one of these great Apron-Recipe Cards...
I love these aprons! They make such great little "Gift" cards because you can totally add a few recipes for a sweet little "neighbor" gift! You could even make up a few extras for those "emergency" gifts!
 I couldn't resist using some kitschy little domestic images on this one & it simply "said" pearls to me, so I added the string of pearls as the apron strings!

That's it!
Hope you enjoyed my little projects!
Now, HOP on over to my Noelle's blog to see what little treasure she has in store for you! But don't forget to leave a comment for your chance to win the Christmas Card Kit!!
See you next time!

Arachniphobiaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!

Do you have a fear of spiders?
I am certainly not crazy about them!
I don't mind Daddy Long Legs, but the rest of them give me the creeps!!!
But I just couldn't resist using a few for my vampy Halloween project today I did for CC&M this week!
(This will also be a Ready-to-Assemble Kit in our Etsy shop available on Oct. 1st)

I just had to use my new favorite from CC&M - the Peek-a-View Box! 
It is so much fun to play with!
I know - I just used in the last hop, but I have been dying to share this project with you!!

I started by stamping so Martha Stewart Halloween images onto the acetate & box. I used another piece of acetate to stamp the graveyard fence on & the headstones are another Martha Stewart punch/stamp combo. Isn't the vampy girl in the middle great?!! But the best part is all the FELT SPIDERS!
They're so CREEPY!! And they go so well with the girl!!
That's it!
Be sure to visit CC&M for more Halloween ideas!
There's a really fun coffin box that I want to play with next!
Cheers!
