More Christmas in July


I'm back today to share with you some more projects from our Christmas in July event.  As I mentioned yesterday I was asked by Monica to do one of the demo booths during this training session.  I decided to go with the theme of 'Christmas Candy' and make lots of lovely gifts using sweets, chocolate and cookies (what a chore hey! lol)

The first project is a cute little Advent Calendar created using sweet treat pouches filled with chocolate snowmen.


The pouches were made from a 3x3 piece of DSP from the Christmas Jingle Scrappin' Kit and decorated using the little stamps from Delightful Decorations set.  The heading has been cut using the Medium Sizzlits Die and embossed with the Perfect Polka Dot folder

These next projects would be perfect for little stocking fillers.   

 
 The little treat boxes are made using the exclusive Scallop Envelope Bigz Die and have been decorated with the self-adhesive die cuts from the Scrappin' Kit.


 Chocolate bars wrapped in DSP and satin ribbon and then individual decorated and 'blinged up!'
  

 These little boxes hold three chocolates and are Christmas variation on the Butterfly Boxes I made for my Mother's Day event.  The original idea came from my wonderful team mate Maria over at Goldcats Stamping Heaven 

 
The sweet pouches are a larger version of what I used for the advent calendar but this time have been made using the Jolly Holiday DSP and decorated with the baubles from the Delightful Decorations set.
 
How cute are these little Christmas pudding cards???  I made the puddings using the circle and scallop punches and decorated with Little Leaves and Real Red berries.  They fit perfectly on a little mint chocolate.  The cards were finished with a little sentiment from Tiny Tags and of course, a touch of bling!

The final project I am going to share are these festive decorated jars (the large one was filled with cookies until me and my downline had a catch up last week!! lol)



The flowers were made from Cherry Cobbler cardstock and decorated with Basic Pearls.  The sentiment on the jars is from the Occasional Quotes hostess set and has been embossed in gold and silver.


I have to say a big thank you to everyone at the event for all the lovely comments and message about my display.  I hope some of these projects have inspired you and got you in the festive mood! 

Pop back next week to find out more about my new Christmas Club!!
