Beautiful Packaging for Gifts from the Kitchen!!!
I'm trying so hard to start Christmas preparations early this year! I'd like to break my cycle of waiting too late and frantically finishing up gifts at 2am Christmas morning!! I'm especially glad to show you this project as nearly all of the supplies come from Flamingo Scraps!!!
Here's what you will need --
In stock at Flamingo Scraps --
First, trim the handles off of each chipboard jar. Paint both sides of your jars with Tim Holtz Distress Paint in Weathered Wood -- these will dry pretty quickly. Ink the edges with the brush end of a Tim Holtz Distress Marker in Stormy Sky.
The Basic Grey Give Credit Stamp Set is a must have -- there is a stamp for every instance from "Crafted By" to "Photo By," and they are really well made. I used the "from the Kitchen Of" and got a really clear image every time. I stamped each jar using Distress Embossing Ink and added the Liquid Platinum embossing powder. A blast with my heat gun finished the label. I then folded a paper doily over the top of the jar, gently gathering the border. I found it easiest to put a rubber band around the top to hold the doily in place while I tied on the seam binding. And here's a little secret about seam binding -- the crinkly ribbon everyone loves so much -- it is seam binding that has been wadded up, slightly moistened with water, and shaken out when dry! I like to set an eyelet at the top of the jar for the baker's twine to guard against tears and fraying.
Finish off your tag with a charm and your name!
Thanks so much for stopping by! The FAB Flamingo Scraps Design Team will be posting projects everyday to inspire you to create! And don't forget the December Daily from the Tonya LIVE!! Ustream class -- craft along with Tonya and make good on that resolution to finish your December Daily this year!!!!

I couldn't resist combining the mason jar tags with the Show Toppers from Cosmo Cricket for a gift that lasts after the goodies have been eaten!

A Papercrafter's Christmas!!!!
Today I want to show y'all two little Christmas ornaments I made using supplies from Flamingo Scraps and from my stash!! The first is this Christmas tree, which can be free standing -- how cute would a little forest of these be -- or hung on your tree!
 |
| Rosette Tree |
I used my Tim Holtz Rosette Dies to cut two large, two medium, and one small rosettes from this solid winter white side of Carta Bella Winter Fun paper. I think it is pretty clear that these dies are two of my favorites as worn as they are!! I cut the paper into two 6x12 pieces, ran one sheet through my xyron machine and adhered them together, then cut. I wanted to make the parts of the tree sturdy so it would last more than one Christmas!  |
The Tim Holtz Dies can be special ordered through Flamingo Scraps! |
 |
| The Carta Bella paper is from the Combination and/or the Paper Warehouse Boxes |
 |
| I sprayed both sides of each rosette with Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Mist |
 |
| I used a Maya Road Wood Spool for the trunk and round pearls from my stash to space the rosettes |
 |
| I used white Prima Chalk Ink to stain the spool and a Maya Road Pearl embellishment as a topper; I rolled the edges in wet adhesive and then rolled them in some micro beads from my stash for a little bling -- glitter or even stickles would also work well |
This tiny little ornament is as simple as can be!
I used the small green tree from a Fancy Pants Mini Tree pack and the smaller of these adorable glass domes from Tim Holtz (each package has two each of two sizes)
I twisted off the wood base of the tree and stuck the wire stem into the cork stopper
At just under two inches, this would be so sweet on a miniature tree, a Christmas tableaux, or even in a doll's house!

Peppermint Fairy
I was so excited to get this great Sizzix Garden Fairy collection of dies and stamps -- I fell in love with them as soon as I saw them in the CHA2013Winter release!
From Garden Fairies to Christmas Fairies and Angels and figures of all kinds, I knew I would find so many uses for these items!! My favorite project so far is this Peppermint Fairy I made with the Flamingo Scraps Christmas in July Brights Kit, some of which you may be able to find in the Flamingo Scraps Giant Warehouse Box!
I cut two of each body piece from a neutral pattern from the kit and cut one of each piece from chipboard. I used my Xyron X and 500 sticker makers to sandwich the chipboard between the two pieces of paper, inked the edges, and assembled the body with small brads. The base of the skirt is diecut with the docraft Doily Die and covered in layers of Maya Road TuTu Tulle and Pleated Tulle and Webster's Pages tulle and feather trims. The wings are made of a misc feather butterfly and the waist and neckline are highlighted with tiny strips of pink and clear bling.
I have wanted to make something using some of the really wonderful vintage pics I have of my family. So inspired by Pinterest in particular, I enlarged a picture of my Grandmother Emma, printed it on regular copy paper, cut out the face and adhered it to the chipboard. A wreath of tiny paper roses completed my fairy! Well, almost -- I added a banner made from some leftovers from my Tonya LIVE!!! City Sidewalks kit from last fall -- see, we promise you will use everything in Tonya's kits!!!
