Sleigh Full of Goodies with Lisa

Happy Friday, everyone! Lisa from The Relativity of Paper taking over the blog today with a modern take on the Sleigh from the SVGA Holiday Cheer Gift Boxes Collection.

The sleigh is a great way to gift money or gift card with a box beneath the sleigh. Adding the recipient's favorite holiday candy is an added bonus. I used My Mind's Eye Joyful Collection and Mixed Bag (ephemera) to decorate it. The sleigh is so easy to assemble, perfect make a head hostess gifts, the unexpected +1 guest and teachers gifts.

I used the easel card from the JGW Halloween Soiree Collection to create a matching card.

Here's to a wonderful Holiday Season! 

As always, thanks for joining us today!

Christmas Sleigh with Beth

Hello crafty friends!  Beth from Beth's Beauties here with you today.  I have always loved the Santa's sleigh in the Holiday Cheer Gift Boxes set, but hadn't ever made it, so I decided now was the perfect time!  The papers I used for the sleigh itself are from DCWV's Cranberry Christmas stack.  

What is a sleigh without a little decoration?  I added the wreath from the gift tag in the RW English Cottage kit to both sides of the sleigh using papers from DCWV's Christmas Plaid stack.  The bow is Cranberry Trendy Twine.

Now on to the treats!  I added some homemade peanut brittle into the sleigh itself.  Then look at the picture below...there is a secret compartment below the sleigh that you can fill with more treats or a gift card like I did.

I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!

Pet Gifts with Lisa

Hi and welcome, everyone. Lisa from In the Crafting Cave bringing you a few ways to present Pet gifts. I think often times we forget that some people consider their pets to be their children, especially, couples who can't have children. And how sad that we don't acknowledge their fur babies. I was one of those people, and I say let's give "Pet Parents" and their babies some love, too! So here are a few ideas next time you want to give a Pet gift.

With just a few SVG Attic Files you will be passing out these cute Pet gifts yourself.

I created the Fire Hydrant Treat Box using the JGW Little Fire Chief Kit, the gift card holder using the SVGA Holiday Cheer Gift Boxes, and the card using the paw print from SVGA Jack's Tracks.

One of the best things about all the Kits listed, they can be used for multiple projects. The Little Fire Chief Kit makes for an awesome birthday party or load that fire hydrant up with homemade cookies for your local fire department. Holiday Cheer Gift Boxes can be used for any occasion just by changing papers. Jack's Tracks actually has a few items that can be used for multiple purposes, too

.

We all know people who love pets. Here's a fun way to tell them how awesome they are!

Gift cards are great for new pet owners!

My sweet girl had her own cookie jar that was a red fire hydrant, inspiration comes from all around us.

Such a fun way to give a Pet gift!

As always, thanks for joining us and we hope you have a fantastic weekend. 

Join me over on blog, In the Crafting Cave, and I will have a list of pet related papers and embellishments to help you create your Pet gifts.

Merry Christmas with Lisa

Merry Christmas! Lisa here, from The Crafting Cave, bringing you one more Christmas project using SVG Holiday Cheer Gift Boxes - Ornament from SVG Attic. 

I used DCWV Candy Cane Lane Stack, DCWV Merry Memories Stack, Pebbles Home For Christmas 12 x 12 Papers, and Recollections Naughty or Nice 12 x 12 Papers. You can find more details on my blog. I was able to use up some of last years papers to make room for next years.  I re-sized the ornament so I could fill them with cookies.  These ornaments are easy to put together and everyone really enjoyed.


I hope you are having a Very Merry Christmas and have a Happy New Year!

Summer Pillowbox with Beth

Even though school starts soon for many children, summer is still in full swing!  I created a treat box that really makes me think of summer.

 I created the pillowbox from SVG Attic's Holiday Cheer Gift Boxes set.

 I embellished it with twine and brown chalk ink around the edges.

It is the perfect size for sweet treats :)

Ice Cream Parlour Card with Beth

This card was totally inspired by a 6x6 paper pad that I recently purchased from The Paper Parade.  It is Authentique's Sweetness.  I fell in love with this paper and have been wanting to make something with it ever since it came into my hot little hands :)

 All of the die cuts on this card are from SVG Attic.  The double scoop ice cream cone is from Ethan's Cool Treats and I cut it at the imported size.  The scalloped tag behind it is from the Holiday Cheer Gift Boxes set.  Once I imported the tag into my software, I resized it to 4" tall, keeping the proportions the same.  I inked the edges of the die cuts using brown chalk ink.  I embossed the cone using an argyle embossing folder to make it look like a real waffle cone.  I used glossy accents on the Ice cream to add some shine and dimension.  I also added dots of liquid pearls in the scallops to compliment the bow.

 Here is a close up of the bottom of the card.  I used white satin ribbon to make the bow.  The sentiment is just fussy cut from one of the papers in this stack.  Last, but not least, I added three white buttons to the bottom left.  I wanted to fill in that blank space.  I guess I have a hard time keeping things simple LOL!

If you are wanting to get some of the SVG files that I used, NOW is the time to get them!  SVG Attic is currently having a $1 sale.  All sets are only $1...how awesome is that?

I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!

Bread Gift Box with Beth

I love to give my neighbors something home-made for Christmas.  I know it is something that is very appreciated and I love making crafty things, so it is a win-win gift :)  This year I knew I wanted to make some kind of a bread to give, but couldn't decide on which one.  So I made the bread holder first using SVG Attic's Holly's Holiday Gift Boxes.  I finally decided to make Cinnamon Slice bread from the Rhodes website.  I will include the recipe below for anyone who is interested in trying it.  The bread gift box fits bread from a large 9"x5" loaf pan perfectly!

 I then made a tag using the rosette and tag layers from the gift card holder box in Holiday Cheer Gift Boxes.  I added another tag layer to the back of the rosette to write a little note on for my neighbors.  To finish it off, I wrapped the bread with rumpled ribbon, added twine to the tag and it was done!  I also used brown chalk ink to go around all of the corners and edges of the box.

Let me tell you, I made a loaf of this bread for my family as well and oh my goodness...it is HEAVENLY!  I will be making it again very soon, but I'd better make more than one loaf because that was inhaled pretty fast LOL!

Here is the recipe for the bread:

Cinnamon Slice Bread  (originally from the Rhodes website)

1 loaf frozen bread dough, barely thawed
1/3 cup butter, melted
1/2 cup sugar
2 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon

Glaze:

I just mixed milk and powdered sugar to get the consistency of glaze I wanted :)

Instructions:
Slice loaf into 24 thin pieces. Combine the sugar and cinnamon and mix well. Dip each dough piece in the melted butter and then in the cinnamon sugar. Line them up in a sprayed 9x5-inch loaf pan, each piece on it's edge, to make a loaf shape (I staggered mine from side to side so there was enough room in the pan). Cover and let double in size. Remove cover and bake at 350°F 20-25 minutes. Cool in pan 5 minutes and then place on cooling rack. Combine glaze ingredients and drizzle over warm cinnamon slices.

I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!

Baby Card and Gift bag with Beth

Hello everyone!  This is Beth from Beth's Beauties and I am back today to show you some adorable baby projects that I made with SVG Attic's files.

The first one that I would like to share is a diaper card that I made using the Baby Boy set.  I cut the diaper invite at 8.5" wide for the card itself.  The circle on the front made by cutting the bottom, middle and car from the cupcake wrapper files in the Baby Boy set at 8.5" wide.  I added the stamped sentiment on a hand-cut banner and two diaper pin brads that are the Recollections brand.

My second project is a gift bag that is made using the exact same Baby Boy set!  Yes, it is for a girl, but I used the onesie from that set and cut it at 5.3" wide.  The gift bag itself is from the Basic Gift Bags collection and is the tall handled gift bag cut at 11.3" wide. The Scalloped oval is from the Holiday Cheer Gift Boxes set and it is cut at 4.5" wide.

To make the onesie girly even though it was from the boy set, I used a beautiful flower from purse 1 in the Pretty Purses set and cut it out at 6.5" wide.  I added a bow and it was done!

I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!

This project is one that is very versatile.  It is a beautiful gift bag that can be re-sized to fit a small jewelry box or large enough to give a book or a shirt.  This one in particular measures about 5" high (excluding the wire handles.)  

I used the Ornament Bag files from the Holiday Cheer Gift Boxes set.  I imported the files and made sure to keep the proportions and then re-sized them to be 5.5" wide.  I used olive green cardstock for the front, back and sides.  Then I re-cut the front and back using designer paper from Cloud 9 Design called Seasonal.  The top of the ornament was cut out of shimmery gold cardstock and attached with two gold brads on each side.  The handles are made from 24 gauge gold jewelry wire.  I cut the wire to 8" long and wrapped the wire around itself to form a oval.

The bow on the front is from the Present Gift Box from the Make A Wish SVG set.  I cut it out of burgundy cardstock at 11.4" wide.  I used brown chalk around the edges and embossed it with a snowflake embossing folder.

The tag is from the Pillow Box files from the Holiday Cheer Gift Boxes set and was cut at 5.25" wide.  I punched a hole it it and added some baker's twine to attach it to the bag and stamped it so it is ready to use at Christmas time!

I hope you enjoyed this Christmas gift bag and don't forget to leave a comment on all four blogs in this hop for your chance to win the $20 gift card to SVG Attic!
