Christmas Craft ~ Something Different

Good morning my friends!  Christmas is fast approaching and I've made some fun crafts in my crafty space this past year that I've never gotten around to sharing.

Let's turn back the calendar to 2023 and I'll show you how I repurposed an old Little Golden Book of Frosty The Snowman. 

 

 

 I cut cute Frosty out of the front cover with some heavy duty scissors and created a box using the back cover of the book to create the box.  I covered the box with wintery snowflake paper, adding the title page to the front of the box.

 Next, I cut some of the images from the pages of the book to make into greeting cards.  I cut word slips from the pages to add sentiment to the cards.

 

I picked up these wood slices last year at the Dollar Tree and mod-podged some of the leftover images from the book pages onto each side of the wood slices to make ornaments.

 

They turned out so cute!

I put some paper shred from the Dollar Tree into the bottom of the box, added the ornaments and tucked the cards and envelopes into the back and packaged everything up to sell at a local apple orchard this year.   They stay open until Christmas selling Christmas trees, apple cider and home made baked goodies.  Hubby and I buy our Christmas tree from them every year and I've always loved browsing through their little shop with all the hand made goodies.  I'm glad to have a part in it this year.

 

I'll be adding this project to the following challenges:

Word Art Wednesday ~ Anything Goes

C.R.A.F.T. Challenge ~ Christmas Present

Polkadoodles Card Making and Craft Challenge ~ Anything Goes

Love To Craft Challenge ~ Anything Goes

Warm & Cozy ~ Double D Challenge

Bundle up for the new Double D Challenge!  You're going to love the theme, it's "Warm & Cozy". 

 

For today's card, I pulled out a warm and cozy embossing folder from Tim Holtz and and older PTI coffee cup die set.

 

I can't think of more sage advice than this.  Take each day as it is handed to you.  One cup at a time.

Diane put together this warm & cozy inspiration tile:

I was inspired by three of the four tiles.  Can you guess which ones?

And here's the prize that you could win when you play along.  I can't wait to see your warm & cozy project in the link at Double D Challenges.

I'll also be adding this card to the following challenges:

Gingerbread Baking Co.

Holiday baking season is upon us!  Can you smell the gingerbread baking in the oven?  I sure wish I could, because that would mean dear hubby and I would soon be enjoying some home baked goodness.

This card helped me use up some paper scraps and gave me the opportunity to ink up this sweet Gingerbread Baking Co. stamp from Blue Fern Studios, that I purchased last year.  

 

Isn't it sweet in every sense of the word?  The Apron is an oldie from Elizabeth Craft Designs and the bowl, whisk and canister are from my designing days with Dies R Us.  I have amassed a great number of dies that are timeless in design.

 

I'm inspired now to actually bake some gingerbread!

I'll be adding this card to the following challenges:
