Made in Minutes

It's Made in Minutes over on the My Creative Time Blog.  Our challenge is to design something that is "made in minutes" ~ with the products offered by My Creative Time, it's super fun and easy to do!! This card took me about 20 minutes to complete.  Using the rectangular shaped dies to layer on the front of the card really makes it easy to design in no time!!

 It's a little hard to see on picture but I embossed the "Christmas" to match with the gold shimmer paper I used to die cut the deer.

Paper: Simple Stories ~ DIY Christmas 6x6 Paper Pad

"5 Days of Christmas"

It's day four of the "5 Days of Christmas" over on My Creative Time Blog.  I love these mini coffee cups and thought they'd make perfect little gifts for friends!  I covered the outside of the cup with pattern paper and then added a sentiment tag and the cute little snowman on an oval which I made into a tag to hang off the straw!  I also added a snowflake to the top lid jazzing it up a bit and of course, filled with chocolates inside!!
 
 Just love this snowman guy!!!  I used little black sequins for his buttons and mini pearls for his eyes.
