Coffee / chocolate treat holders

These little treat holders are a great stocking filler or just a something to say Merry Christmas to your colleagues  or friends.

 Filled with candy cane,  (these were so popular with the children), Freddo frogs , Oreos and a chocolate straw, Thank you Cary for that idea! or with Coffee or  Drinking Chocolate.

The coffee holders are CASE'd from  Dawn Olchefske DoStamping and Heidi Boos at Stuck on Stampin

This week has been busy with card classes and school fairs.

 

also been busy with Christmas Cards...

This card was CASE'd from Melissa Stout The Stamp Doc . I have used Gumball Green. I love it that there is no Stamping! Thanks Melissa for the inspiration.

At Sunny Challenges & Creations this week, the challenge is to do a Shaker Card. Now if you are like me and haven't done one for a while, it takes a bit of practise. I used the Polar Party stamp set, also Snowflake Soiree for the border and the small snowflake from the Snow Flurry Bigz Die. My Shaking bits were Dazzling Diamonds and Champagne Glitter. Won't put the two together again as the Dazzling Diamonds clung to the acetate. My base card was Midnight Muse and Bashful Blue.

The Colour Me Beautiful Challenge this week has a lovely array of colours. The challenge is to make a card or scrapbook page using at least 3 of these colours.

I didn't really want to do a Christmas card but then I thought why not, and this is what I came up with. I used Sahara Sand as the card base and the frame surrounding the robin. Primrose Petals was used for the mount and the robin and  berries were coloured with Primrose Petals. For the stamped images I used Soft Suede, and the wording primrose Petals. Vanilla used for the robin and Soft Suede brads and ribbon complete the effect. I used the Adorning Accents Edgelit for the top of the frame, making a lovely arch. Then I embossed above on the Primrose Petals card with the corresponding embossing folder.
