Staff Gifts

Here is this year's gifts for the staff at my school. Each year I come up with something for 50-60 people since I really want to give everyone something at Christmas.

Each package contains 8 Hershey's Nuggets in a 2"x8" self-sealing cellophane wrapper. I used Stampin Up's Its a Wrap Holiday stamp Make Merry on white Avery labels (bought at Wal-Mart). There are 30 Avery labels per page and a total of 300 labels in a package so one package can go a long way. In between the Make Merry labels I created a coordinating label just to help make it look more interesting. At the top, I used the Stampin Up Decorative Label punch and a stamp from the Christmas Punch stamp set. The toppers stick very easily to the cellophane with Tombo Mono Adhesive.

New snowflake punch

Prepare to see several cards that I have used my new EK success snowflake punch on. Spent more hours than you would believe coming up with the argyle card. Originally the cream glittery flakes were for another card, but I just couldn't make them work with the other paper. Argyle was created from white paper, embossing and then rubbing an ink pad over the surface of the paper. I used red ink (really!). The card and the pic both look more pink than red. Stampin Up set used: Party Punch. Cards are 4" x 5.5" (A2).





Now this card was made with little time involvement...credit for so much time already spent on the first card! I love little details on cards like rhinstones and brads. The neatest new item I have found is a cut and emboss folder by Cuttlebug. It creates the kraft colored base under the make merry. Stampin Up greeting comes from the Berry Christmas stamp set. Cards are 4" x 5.5" (A2).
