We have arrived to our last week for our 12 Weeks of Christmas Series. Our Week 12 project is a quick and easy Treat Bag.
For this one I have used the Green and Gold Specialty Designer Series Paper.
Here’s a close-up of the tag.
A tag was diecut from White card but also from the Graceful Greenery Vellum. I used the Greetings of the Season stamps and dies. Add a stamped leaf from the Golden Greenery stamps and dies and then also diecut leaves. One from Shaded Spruce and the other from Soft Sea Foam card.
It’s nice to dress up some chocolates in a cute bag. All you need is a clear plastic or Cello bag and some pretty paper. I share some tips in how to create them in the video below.
I hope you have enjoyed the projects through our 12 Weeks of Christmas Series and that they have inspired you. Some would work for any occasion so file them away for upcoming ideas.
Did you know you can create your own textured background with dies?
For this card I diecut lots of white Berries and Holly leaves from the Reindeer Fun Dies and adhered these together. Then I added them to a white card mat. It adds a subtle texture.
Here’s how to Create this effect:
Diecut lots of Holly Leaves and Berries from the dies on white card.
Adhere the Holly and Berries together.
Lay all the Holly/Berry pieces out on the white card mat to position them how you like. Have some overhanging the edges.
Adhere them down to the card mat. Turn over the card and trim off the overhanging pieces.
Then complete the card as you like.
I added a strip of Reindeer Days Paper and a strip of the Green Glimmer Paper along with the bells coloured with Stampin’ Blends. I finished it off with a bow from the Real Red and Gold Ribbon.
Try this idea with some dies you have. It takes a little diecutting and sticking together but it is a fun way to use them.
Hope your Christmas Creating is going along well.

It’s Week 11 for our 12 Weeks of Christmas Series. The time has flown by. Here we are nearly at our last week.
Our project today is using some of those scraps of Christmas Paper you have. I’m going to show you how to make Paper Folded Trees. They can be added to a card or to a tag.
They are very easy to do and you can create them in any size. Just be sure it is a square piece of paper. You can fold little bases for them too.
Check the video to see how to fold them.
Have fun making them.

Peaceful Season Bundle
Peaceful Evergreens Bundle
Season of Elegance 12″x12″ Specialty Designer Series Paper
The Peaceful Evergreens Bundle. In the Die set there are a number of tree shaped dies. Some diecut the stamped trees with other dies giving more detailed diecut trees. There is a also a dotty diecut shape to add a “snowy” effect on your projects. And notice the funny oval and tail shape dies? They create little bows to add which is fun.
The Peaceful Seasons Bundle. The stamp set contains numerous sentiments. Some you can combine together or use them on their own. There is the option to stamp the “Christmas”and Diecut it and layered. Or you can diecut the “Christmas” word and layer together. There is also some elegant label and banner shape dies.
The Season of Elegance Specialty Designer Series Paper. Featuring beautiful gold foil along with textured backgrounds in neutral and Christmas colours, this paper was hand painted to give your projects an artistic look, great for the Christmas season and other special occasions.
The colours in this paper are Basic Beige, Cherry Cobbler, Crumb Cake, gold, Gray Granite, Lost Lagoon, Mossy Meadow, Old Olive, Pretty Peacock, Real Red.
The Painted Trees Embossing Folder adds such detailed texture to your projects. The embossed card created with this folder can be used as a background look or as a statement in itself on a card front. It is beautiful.
What about some projects with this. These are created by Stampin’ Up! artists.
Just a tip with using the Embossing Folder. When you have embossed your card. Try daubering on some ink over the raised trees to give the trees some coloured definition.
The “square” shaped diecuts can be layered together to add directly to the front of the card.
Or layer the other elongated shaped diecuts.
These little Gift card pockets are dressed up with the diecut bows.
What do you think of the Season of Elegance Suite? So much to love.
This week’s card is using the Frosted Forest stamps and masks. You could use this idea with any tree stamp.
This is a Portrait Fold card. That’s what I’m calling it anyway. I’m not sure if it has a particular name. The fold is at the top of the card.
You can follow along with the video below. The full tutorial will be sent out in next week’s newsletter if you are a subscriber. If not check the side bar on my blog.
I have used the Reindeer Days Designer Series Paper and some sparkly Glimmer Paper.
I used just one mask in the Frosted Forest mask set. You can add other layers of ink if you would like to.
This is the card.
Embossing the card mat adds some extra texture. I have used the Timber 3D Embossing Folder on this one.
Hope you enjoy it.
Happy Crafting,
Jenny
