Stamping Sunday Blog Hop - 'Holiday Happenings'

 I really can't believe it's the 4th Sunday of the month of November!

Yes, it really is, and it's the Stamping Sunday Design Team Blog Hop - and our theme is 'Holiday Happenings'.

Summer is just around the corner, and Summer Holidays are just a few weeks away for those of us in Australia. And Christmas! I just can't wait for some fun in the sun and a little getaway over the New Year break.

To start with, I have created a large and extended Christmas Cracker using the 'Cracker & Treat Box Dies' and 'Boughs of Holly 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper'.

This little extended number holds 3 Lindt Chocolate Balls - the regular Cracker will hold 2 Lindt Chocolate Balls.

The sentiment is stamped using the 'Merriest Moments' stamp set.

Die cut with the 'Stylish Shapes Dies' and 'Gold Metallic Specialty Paper' using the 'Layering Circles Dies.

All tied up with 'Gold 1/4" Shimmer Ribbon'.

I have added a few gold sequins from the 'For Everything Fancy Sequins'.

Imperial measurements; adding approximately 1-1/4" to make a longer Cracker.

Metric measurements; adding approximately 3.5cm to make a longer Cracker.

And my favourite little 'Mini Curvy Keepsakes Box Dies' - this little item is retired but it's just the cutest little treat box!

To: Me!

The simplest of treat boxes, a tag and some 'Gold Simply Elegant Trim'.

The sweetest duos of Christmas Treat Boxes, and I have a few more to make.

Sometimes simple is the best, especially where Lindt chocolates and these super cute Christmas paper craft boxes make a lovely treat for friends, and for the Christmas table.

Thankyou so much for visiting, and now it's time to visit the Design Team and to see their 'Holiday Happenings' creations. See you next time. D x
