Instructions: For the Gift Bag, trim the gift bag at the top to measure 9" in length. My gift bag is 8" wide. Cut violet card stock to measure 8 3/4" x 7 3/4". Select the designer paper with the poinsettias at the right hand corner from "Celebrate the Season" paper collection. Trim the designer paper to measure 8 1/2" x 7 1/2". Adhere the layers to the gift bag.

A border from Essential Border die was cut from violet card stock and applied to the top of the gift bag. A decorative border was applied to the top of the bag using Regal Borders and Pocket die. Rhinestones were applied in-between the two border die cuts.

Stamp Assorted presents from the Gift Wrapped Presents Cling Stamp Set. Stamp two sets of skates and one set of mittens from Celebrate the Season Cling Stamp Set. You can use the Ornate Sleigh cling stamp set, however, I used the sleigh that was in the paper collection.

Color the images with markers or sponge the images with the ink of your choice. I colored my images with Copic Alcohol Ink Markers - BG10, BG53, BG57, BG09, C5, C3, V01, V04, V06, V09, RV11, RV32, RV34, Y11, YR20, YR24. I wanted to add texture to the mittens so I lightly wet a textured cloth with 70% alcohol and placed it flat over the colored mittens for 3-4 seconds. It is best to place your palm over it rather than your fingers. When the image dries, the textured pattern pops from the coloring and it looks texturized.

The images were die cut. The Ornate Sleigh die fit the image from the paper collection perfectly. Using violet and teal card stock, die cut two layers each for the two sets of skates and mittens. Repeat the process for the gifts. Apply foam dots in-between the two layers of card stock and the colored layer for each image. This will give them a lot of fun dimension. Adhere the sleigh, skates, mittens and gifts to the gift bag.

The sentiment, "A gift of love" was cut from the paper collection and layered on violet card stock.

Apply 3-D Crystal Lacquer to the blades of the skates and sled and topped with White Gala Glitz. Star Dust Stickles were applied to the center of the poinsettias.

Instructions: View a larger project image here. Cut four 4 1/2" X 6" pieces of thin cardboard. I used a 24 pk. soda box. Using the punch board make each into the crest shape. If you do not have a punch board, measure across the bottom 2 1/4" and make a small a pencil mark. From the bottom up, measure to 4 3/4" on each side, draw a line between the two marks. At the center mark on the bottom cut on a slant, up to the outside edge of the 4 3/4" mark to form the crest shape. Using one neutral violet and one aqua sheet of the paper pad cut two of each color 4 1/2" X 6" and glue these to the cardboard. Flip over to the back side and trim off excess on bottom of crest. I repeated this process with lilac & aqua cardstock for the back side of each crest. You may omit this if you wish. Glue braided trim across the top of each crest. Cut pearl string to fit and glue to outside edges as pictured. I used my Crop-A-Dile to make 3/16" holes in the crest top, and set grommets. You can use a punch or anything you personally use for holes. Measure 46" of each color twine & cord. Thread through the holes and tie a knot behind each before adding the next crest. I spaced the crests 2 1/2" apart.

Cut the "Noel" letters with the Cricut machine & Storybook cartridge set at 3" from white glitter paper. Cut accent/frame and shadow setting from cardstock to match each crest. I inked the edges of shadow and accent pieces with pansy & aqua ink. You may use any type of letter, chipboard, wood, SVG files, etc. for this step. Assemble letter and attach with pop-dots to each crest as pictured.

Stamp large poinsettia & holly twenty times, and the small one, 12 times. Sponge half the large petals and half the small with aqua ink and the other half with pansy ink. Spray the holly with glimmer mist. When dry, shape as directed in video, add beads to centers of flowers. Coat each flower with Mod-Podge. Die cut two stars and clip off the tails. Cut four of the flourish in the Cut Mat Create die glitter paper and snip each one into three pieces. Die cut four white doilies from Arianna die that have a heart shape in them. Snip these apart making the bottom of the heart shape a point. Stack & glue together three pieces. Glue a stack to each side of the crests. Coat snowflakes with Gesso. When dry add a rhinestone to centers & brush on Mod-Podge then sprinkle on glitter.

Stamp one skate set & mittens on white cardstock using black ink. Color mittens with V05, & 01 for cuff and V01, & 000 for the rest. Color skates with C1, & 00, blades using C3, & 1. Color laces with BG15, & 11. Using the pictures as a guide, glue all elements to each coordinating crest to complete your banner.

Instructions: Cut one 3 1/2" x 8", a 2" x 8", a 3" x 1/2" and a 1" x 8" from heavy duty chipboard/card stock. Paint one side of each piece with a coordinating color. I used dark purple acrylic paint. Cover the 2" x 8" and the 1" x 8" piece with designer paper from the collection and glue each end to form a tube/cylinder. Cover the top of the 1" x 8" cylinder with gold washi and glue this tube inside the top of the 2" x 8" cylinder to make it look like there is a cylinder within a cylinder. Add Stickles to the surrounding area where the two pieces meet. Set these aside to dry. Cover the other two pieces and also glue them together to make 2 different tubes. One will be taller than the other. Cover each of these pieces using your favorite papers from the designer paper collection. You will end up with 3 tubes in different sizes. Cover the tops with Washi of your choice, I used gold washi since it's a Christmas project.

Now adhere the two bigger tubes together. When gluing the front piece to the taller tube, elongate the tube and hold it till it adheres completely to the other cylinder. It will look like the taller tube is circular, but the smaller tube is oval, you will be able to fit 3 stickle bottles in this area. Now, the smallest tube is just big enough to hold a pencil, or other crafty tool. Adhere it on the right side of the caddy. Using Washi tape, adhere the newly created caddy to the circular wood piece to give your caddy a base.

Next, stamp, color and die cut the flowers and leaves. I colored my flowers in with Spectrum Noir Sparkle pen in Boudoir and the leaves in Holly Leaf, it makes the flowers pretty glittery. I did a set of 3 flowers, for each flower I used two of the bigger petals and one of the smaller petals. For centers, I used the Want2Scrap self-adhesive bling.

Now using the dies, cut out the pre-printed Gift box images from the designer paper. Finally, adhere the 3 poinsettias and leafs to the front of your caddy, and add the gift boxes on either side to cover where the two tubes were hot glued together. (The taller gift boxes are the perfect size for this.)

Stamp, color and die cut the leafy garland, I colored it with the Holy Leaf pen and ran it through the Xyron sticker maker. Adhere this garland around the top part of the caddy. Add some bling across the garland, and also around the flowers and leafs.
