Hi all! I have a few last minute holiday ideas and videos that I did for Simon Says Stamp that I wanted to share with you. :) This will also be my last post until Tuesday, the 27th. I’ll be posting periodically on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram (username: starofmay), though.

I hope you all have a wonderful holiday and Merry Christmas! :)

“Brown paper packages tied up with string. These are a few of my favorite things!”

For this video I created folded boxes out of lunch bags. These would be perfect for little holiday treats for friends and neighbors, or even a small piece of jewelry (hint, hint Santa!). And edge punches are a great way to dress them up, but of course you could go simple and use only string, baker’s twine, or ribbon.

Anyhow, enjoy! The video below walks you through the creation and decoration of the boxes.

Supplies

I thought I would make some last minute gift tags. Super easy and simple. Also, these don’t require a ton of supplies and can be made quickly.

To create the berries and leaves, I used Xmas Red and Green Stickles glitter glue. And for the texture on the other tag, I ran the tag through my Sizzix machine using an embossing folder and inked the edges with Iced Spruce Seasonal Distress ink.

Enjoy! :)
