My first Blog Hop: Be of Cheer for Christmas comes more than once a Year!
I hope you’re ready for the ESAD Christmas in July Blog Hop!
Welcome to those who have hopped here from Bev Watts' blog.
I had fun creating traditional green white and red Christmas crafts: a 6x6 inch scrapbook page, a treat container, greeting cards and a tag box full of tags. The tag box would be great for chocolate truffles or other sweet treats that need "luxe" presentation.
The scrapbook page used real red, whisper white and old olive cardstock. I have stamped the white strip with stamps from the Season of Joy stamp set. The title uses Schoolbook serif plus another Season of Joy stamp for the "O". I used 2 circle punches and the corner rounder for the scallop border. A touch of journalling with an old olive marker and a little glitter and another page is ready for the album!
At our team training meeting on Thursday, my upline Donna taught us how to make a sour cream container: what an easy an effective little treat container: It can be made any size, so it is very versatile. My version used quarter of an A4 sheet. Just the right size for a few sweets, a special soap, or even jewellery. You could even used this for a Christmas decoration, or "snapless" cracker. I have used Season of Joy again for the background, This would be even even easier with the So Swirly wheel, but I don't own that... yet! The tag uses the curly Label Punch Bunch set.

My divided tag box used the tutorial from SplitCoast stampers here. I had fun filling it with tags using diferent techniques. It has an acetate lid, which makes for great presentation. I have used Old Olive Grosgrain ribbon and the curly Label Punch Bunch set again for the tag.The tag set would make a lovely secret santa or hostess gift.
