This quick and easy little 6x6 treat holder tutorial is over on the SCS website. I have made several of these the last few days. They are great for holding the little hershey nugget candies and make for very easy gifts. Seriously they are very quick .


I used Big Ol Bow for the little bag and Handmade With Love Tags for the two below. Went with my favorite colors of blue,white and silver. Let's face it I did the gold and burgundy and I needed to get into my grove with my natural colors. hee hee  Lots of sparkle but its hard to see in the photos. SO MUCH FUN!!! Voila!

Glitter House Village

Happy Thanksgiving and welcome to Power Poppy's Christmas Re-Mix blog hop Day 9. We have a blog hop that is going from Nov 20th thru Dec 2nd. Another new digi, Black Friday Sale, Cyber Monday sale and even a small business sale, and did I mention a SURPRISE?



Appropriate to have a little grouping of houses today with Glitter House Village as most of us are celebrating Thanksgiving with family and friends today. I don't have the snow or Christmas decorations up like this village but I do have the warm feeling this card does. Took a break from the gold shimmer paper for this one and had more of the green and red colors. 


No need to worry if you don't have the stamp set. The digi version Glittery Village is available. My base has some textures with a snowflake embossing folder. A little scallop edge to the scrap of designer paper added to the base. Lot of sparkle added to the village and a few buttons to finish it off. Voila! Check back in tomorrow for a sale! Have a wonderful Thanksgiving day!

Gift tag or gift holder

Good morning and welcome to Power Poppy's Christmas Re-Mix blog hop Day 8. We have a blog hop that is going from Nov 20th thru Dec 2nd.  Have you been hopping this whole time or just joining us?  You might find a new digi, Black Friday Sale, Cyber Monday sale and even a small business sale, and a SURPRISE or two?



Tag your it! Oh today is fun with tags using a few versions of Wreath: Felt and Fruits, Boxwood and Cranberry Along with the new digi Handmade with Love Tag. Quick and easy tags is always a need if time doesn't permit for more detailed ones. 


That is what these are quick and easy. My base for each one is some die cuts so I really only had to color and add some ribbon and twine.


The new Handmade With Love Tags are super quick and totally cute on their own. I ADORE all of them. Here are a few of them that I used for some quick giftcard holders I needed.
The measurements for the giftcard holder is super easy. Cut a piece of cardstock 3 3/4 in width x 7 inches length. Score along the length at 1/2 inch, 4 1/2 inch, another score at 1/8 inch. Add a decorative edge to the one edge and glue the ends on the 1/2 inch mark to hold the card. See easy peasy.


 The inside is kept simple but you can add more to the top flap if you wanted. I kept it blank with just some of the matching designer paper to the inside lower flap. These were very very quick and easy to make and it was just what I needed. Lots of sparkle on these as well with just a few embellishments. Voila! See you back here tomorrow.

Berry Sweet Holiday wishes

Good morning and welcome to Power Poppy's Christmas Re-Mix blog hop Day 7. We have a blog hop that is going from Nov 20th thru Dec 2nd.  In those days you might find a new Digi, Black Friday Sale, Cyber Monday sale and even a small business sale, and did I mention a SURPRISE?




Berry Sweet Holiday wishes for you today. This has to be one of my favorites I created for the hop. Yes I have said that on a few but I do like this one a lot. The gold ribbon is what I think does it for me as I usually color it red or blue and this gold is warm and elegant feeling. 


Another piece of designer paper from the same pack with gold shimmer base layer. Die cut a few circles for the layers. Colored the image with various Copic markers and cut around to pop up on the circle.


More faux stitching around the base with the suduko gel pen instead of regular ink. Added some to the ribbon and sparkle to the berries. Sequins to tie it all together. Voila! If you don't have the stamp no need to worry, the Merriest Berries digi has this and another for you to print and color.

Tweet Tidings for Poinsettia XL

Good morning and welcome to Power Poppy's Christmas Re-Mix blog hop Day 6. W e have a blog hop that is going from Nov 20th thru Dec 2nd.  In those days you might find a new digi, Black Friday Sale, Cyber Monday sale and even a small business sale, and did I mention a SURPRISE?




 This is Tweet Tidings and Poinsettia XL we are revealing today. My new creation will come later because I could not resist these little birds. However, how about I share a little snippet??  :-)


Are these little birdies not the cutest fat little birds ever. No need to worry if you don't have the stamp set Tweet Tidings, the digi version is called Chickadee in Barberry. This paper pack has such a variety of designs for Christmas that I have used. I think I forgot to mention the paper pack it is called Poppies and Pines from The Paper Studio and I like everything in the pack.


Another gold shimmer for the base layer under the designer paper with some faux stitching around the edge. Added sparkle to the snow which I should of left off. It made the snow look dirty for some reason??? Ggrrr... What can you do now. Added a few buttons to the sentiment tag and Voila!

Grandma's Favorite variety

Good morning and welcome to Power Poppy's Christmas Re-Mix blog hop Day 5. We have a blog hop that is going from Nov 20th thru Dec 2nd. You might find new digi's, a Black Friday Sale, Cyber Monday sale and even a small business sale, and did I mention a SURPRISE?



A variety of favorites will be shared today across the blogs. One that I like a lot but have used little is the Grandma's Snowflakes which is just darling. Not to mention it has a matching die set that goes with the set. I will show you the die and the stamp with my card. 


How about this gold shimmery paper? I had die cut the snowflake shape using a smaller piece and was going to leave just the snowflake negative. Then I thought why not stamp and cut around the matching snowflake and pop it up. I like how that turned out. The base layers has a snowflake texture added with the sentiment below. Tied some ribbon and gold cord around the bow with a few pearls. Yep you guessed it, suduko gel pen added to the snowflake as well. Voila!  See you back here tomorrow.

Today's activities are using Spice it Up and the new Winter Flora. Oh you HAVE to check out this new digi. My creation using that will wait since I played with Spice it Up for.  But I am willing to share a little tease with you. :-)



This little orange, can you smell it through the screen with the spice scent? I can but its only because I have a Scensy going that smells like it. ha ha  Anyways... Using up more of the gold shimmery paper, I told you that I was going to use all of it I could this year. 


Stamped the orange and colored with various Copic markers, then cut around to pop up on the base. More swiss dots and some gold cord and a few gold sequins. The ribbon on the image does have suduko gel pen added to it as well.  Voila! See you back here tomorrow.

O Holy night

Good morning and welcome to Power Poppy's Christmas Re-Mix blog hop Day 3. We have a blog hop that is going from Nov 20th thru Dec 2nd. GASP!!! In those days you might find a Black Friday Sale, Cyber Monday sale and even a small business sale, and did I mention a SURPRISE? So let's get to today's activities.



My card today is using O Holy Night and if you don't have this stamp set, check out the digi Snowy Church. This has such a wintry feel with the snow capped trees and the snow built up around the edge of the church. 


Very little coloring on this as I wanted the moon light background to be the main color to help bring out the light inside the church. More of the gold shimmery paper for the base designer paper frame.


This is a close up at an angle to see the suduko gel pen on the window light also. Added the punched green sprigs with a punched poinsettia to the left corner. Finished off with the sentiment and some pearls. Voila! See you back here tomorrow.

This snowman is just adorable with his little potted tree isn't he. I kinda like him in the burgundy and gold colors don't you?  Sticking with my colors of gold and burgundy as you can see.

Christmas Re-Mix Day 1 Poinsettia

Good morning and welcome to Power Poppy's Christmas Re-Mix blog hop Day 1. That's right, we are going to be sharing some stamp sets you have seen before or maybe they are new to you AND some new digi's releasing with a surprise. Excited? We sure are, in fact we have a blog hop that is going from Nov 20th thru Dec 2nd. GASP!!! I know right. In those days you might find a Black Friday Sale, Cyber Monday sale and even a small business sale, and did I mention a SURPRISE?



So let's get to today's activities, but first I wanted to share with you that the creations you see the next 12 days are a little out of my normal color schemes. No blues, whites or silver even. What you say!! That's right I stepped out of the normal colors and decided to finally use this gold shimmery paper I bought years ago and my more of my Suduko gel pen for quite a few cards. I really like how all the creations turned out. You were warned. hee hee


This is Poinsettia one of my all time favorites. I have quite a few but this one always makes me smile. No need to worry if you don't have the stamp set, check out the digi version Poinsettia and Pomegranates. I have the poinsettia colored with various Copic markers and then I cut around the image so that I could pop it up on the main panel. This designer paper was the only "new" thing on this card and it was a perfect match to the shimmery gold paper I have. 



Here is a close up at an angel for you to see not only the suduko gel pen I added to the leaves but the gold paper. These pictures do not do it justice I am telling you what. But I do love how this turned out. Some faux stitching around the edges, my sentiment and some sequins. Voila! Now hop along below and see you back here tomorrow.

November Christmas Bough

Happy Friday and November Dirty Dozen Christmas challenge. This months theme is fun and I hope you check it out HERE and play along with us. 
I just adore the feel of this card from the colors of the papers to the mitten image. This is using Bough Wow Wow stamp set. Stamped the image onto white card stock and colored with various Copic markers. 


After I was done coloring I die cut using an ODBD die for the shape. My designer paper was my color inspiration for this card. The yellow and chocolate just make me smile. Stamped the sentiment along the side with some added sparkle.
Then wrapped some ribbon around the base and tied off a heart button with some twine, then last bit with enamel dots. Voila!
