Thank you for joining my incredibly creative friend Brenda Nelson and I for our 12 Days of Christmas Blog Share. Today for our 12 Days of Christmas Day 1, I am sharing this Stars Treat Bag. It is a quick, but adorable gift bag perfect for any small treat or gift.
These treat bags have the star pattern die cut into them, making them ready to use right out of the package! I added a couple scraps of designer series paper, and a heat embossed gold sentiment to dress it up a bit. They are sized perfectly for a small gift or treat, and are oh so cute!!
Perhaps you have seen this project? I go live each Friday on my Mel’s Inky Fingers Facebook page at 1pm EST to create with you. I shared this project last week. It was really fun to pull together! Stop by sometime and chat with me as we create together! Or visit to watch how I made this.
Scrap Buster
I love scrap busters. Scrap busters are projects that I can pull whatever scraps I have and use them. This is one of those projects. Pull any bits of designer series paper, and add them to your bag, and it will be adorable! I used Sweetest Christmas Designer Series Paper for this project. I trimmed using the Banners Pick-A-Punch to add a decorative end before adding to the bag. This little sentiment from the Jingle Jingle Jingle Stamp Set was so cute heat embossed in gold. I also used the cute candy cane image from the same stamp set as an accent.
To finish it off, I added a gold cord bow using the Simply Elegant Trim pack, and some gold sequins from the Seasonal Sequins pack.
Thank You

It’s almost time for the January-April 2023 Mini Catalog! That means it’s time to order product shares and paper samplers, so you can create with all the new products.
Now, I know choosing favorites can be hard, so I am here to make it easy! When you choose a product share, you get a little of everything, making it really easy to have it all!
Reserve your product shares and paper samplers now before the catalog launches!
Paper Samplers
If you join me for class in my classroom, you have seen these on display. These samplers are invaluable for actually seeing the papers and pulling projects together, as well as matching colors and embellishments. So much so, I now offer these as part of my product shares when a new catalog launches.
Each collection set features all the designer paper patterns, the catalog name and image, item number, detailed information as needed, and coordinating colors. Paper collections that are 12″ x 12″ are in a 4″ x 6″ sampler, and 6″ x 6″ paper collections are left full size. And as an added bonus, when you no longer want the sampler, you can take it apart and use the paper!
Paper Sampler Options:
January – April 2023 Mini Catalog Paper Sampler Set (14 total samplers) $43
Annual Catalog Paper Sampler Set (13 total samplers of Designer Series Papers Only) $33
BONUS: Mini & Annual Host papers + 4 Sale-a-bration collections (6 total samplers) FREE
Product shares are a way to get some of everything at a fraction of the investment. It provides a sampling of each item, so you can create with all of the collections. It is a great way to build variety in your stash.
*It is important to note how your paper is cut when ordering a paper share, not just how many sheets you get. I like to leave the sheets larger (so fewer sheets total), giving you more options for creating.
For the January – April Mini Catalog, I am offering 3 product share options:
Designer Series Paper Share (1/4 pack)
Glimmer & Shimmer Specialty Paper Share (1/4 pack)
Ribbon & Embellishment Share (~1/5 spool or pack)
BONUS: Get a full product share (all 3 of the above) and choose a $50 level Sale-a-Bration item as my thank you!
Details
Both paper shares will include ~1/4 package of each paper collection listed. Most paper that is 12″ x 12″ will be cut 6″ x 12″ with occasional exception. Paper that is 6″ x 6″ is left full size. Paper size is cut to maximize pattern when necessary. The Ribbon & Embellishment Share will include ~1/5 of each ribbon or pack of embellishments listed, providing 1-2 yard cuts of each ribbon or trim, and embellishments accord to package quantity/size.

Today I am sharing this adorable card created with the Sweet Gingerbread stamp set and Gingerbread House dies. I created this project yesterday on my Facebook Friday as part of 3 projects featuring the Sweet Gingerbread Bundle.
What I love most about this particular project is the soft, non-traditional gingerbread house colors, and the adorable lollipops in the glittery snow!
Details with the Gingerbread House Dies
This bundle is full of the bitty bits to create all the little details. You can choose to stamp the details, or create the details as die-cut pieces for dimension. I did a little of both on this card.
The best detail is the shimmery snow. It was easy to make using the white glimmer paper from the Red & White Glimmer Paper Pack. The die included in the Gingerbread House die set is versatile, to create landscape layers for your scene.
Did you notice the two-tone lollipops? To make them, I inked the circular part with the lighter ink, then inked the stick by using the edge of my ink pad.
