Perfect Presentation Group Post: Holiday Gift Ideas

For my project today, I made a simple, little house that can be filled with all sorts of little goodies.  I love the Home Made stamp set from Papertrey Ink and welcome any excuse to use it.  I used the Perfect Presentation template called Favor Box II (available in SVG and PDF)and used the optional roof piece to turn this box into an adorable house.  For the round tag, I finally got to use my Wreath for all Seasons stamp set for the first time.  I bought it around the time of my surgery and this is the first time I have been able to ink it up.  It felt good! LOL



What's great is you don't adhere the roof piece.  It slides on and off for easy access to the goodies inside!  You can also use this template without the optional roof piece.

New stuff

These are some things I made before my surgery--I still can't craft well.

The 2 gift bags use the rounded tag and open scallop circle cut files from Tag Set 1Not available in PDF.  Decorating supplies from Papertrey Ink, Hero Arts (woodgrain stamp) and October Afternoon pattern paper.




 The Easy Candy Wrap (available in PDF and SVG).  Very easy and uses one sheet of cardstock. 


The Winter Sleigh file (available in PDF and SVG).  I had this done before my surgery but have not been able to decorate it yet.  I put some starlight peppermints in it and my daughter is using it in her room as a candy dish.  Check out what Chris Olsen did with this template...WOW!



That's all for now.  There are a couple other new things in the Perfect Presentation store

 I hope you'll come back on Nov. 29th and check out the Perfect Presentation group post highlighting holiday gift ideas.

Birthday Banner

My daughter's 7th birthday is next week and I was able to make her a banner.  I'm still not fully recovered from surgery and when I've tried to stamp I keep dropping the acrylic block. LOL  I am able to do more each day so hopefully it won't be too much longer until I am back 100%. This post will be short as typing too much becomes an issue really fast.

This banner was made using the Pennant Banner Flags SVG file from Perfect Presentation.  I was able to re-size and cut 4 banner flags from one sheet of 8.5 x 11 cardstock so it didn't use a huge chunk of my cardstock stash.   Simple design but very sparkly in person.



Thanks for stopping by!
