How to Decorate a Christmas Gift Bag with a Cute Mouse! 🐭🎄
Hey friends! 👋
Okay, I have to tell you — This makes me smile and it's ALL because of this little guy. 🐭💕 If you've been following along, you know I love a good 3D project (boxes! bags! anything right?! 😄), and today I'm sharing a Christmas gift bag that is seriously the cutest thing.
The Star of the Show
I used Stampin' Up!'s Christmas Mice stamp set and dies for this one, and you guys... this mouse. THIS. MOUSE. 🥹 He is just the perfect little dimensional embellishment sitting right on the front of the bag, and I promise once you make one you're going to want to make ten. He's that cute.
This is a classic gift bag with our adorable little friend decorating the front, so it's a great "wow" factor without a ton of extra fuss. 🎁

I am SO excited to share this one with you today — a scalloped Christmas gift box that's as sweet to look at as it is to fill! 🥰
This little beauty starts with Stampin'up! Peaceful Pine cardstock and that gorgeous Scalloped Christmas Cheer Bundle. (I mean, could it BE any more festive? 😍). I layered on a red Timeless Metallic Specialty DSP and the Timeless Christmas Designer Series Paper and tucked in a sweet holly leaf and berry embellishment in the corner. Then I heat-embossed "'Tis the Season" in crisp white across the front — that little pop of shimmer just makes it, don't you think? ✨ A red, white, and green twine bow ties the whole thing together (literally!). 🎀
Here's the best part — this box isn't just pretty on the outside. Pop it open and you've got plenty of room for a small gift OR a stash of treats. I filled mine with Ghirardelli peppermint bark because... well, obviously. 🍫🎄 It's the perfect little something for a neighbor, teacher, or that friend who always says "you shouldn't have!" (but secretly loves it when you do). 😉

DIY Christmas Gift Box with a Peek-a-Boo Window! 🎄🍬
Hey friends! I am SO happy to be back here sharing new Christmas projects with you — it's been a minute, but I've missed this so, so much! 🥰 And what better way to jump back in than with a treat box that's basically begging to be gifted?
This little Christmas Gift Box has a special trick up its sleeve: a window that shows off exactly what's tucked inside! No guessing, no shaking the box wondering what's in there — just a sweet little sneak peek of the goodies waiting for whoever gets to open it. I tucked in a bag of Ghirardelli Peppermint Bark Minis, and honestly? I don't think anyone could say no to that. 🍫✨
To dress it up, I went with a Pecan Pie base and layered on the cutest Timeless Christmas Designer Series Paper. Then came my favorite part — a gingerbread man (be still my heart 🧡), a stitched red ribbon tied into a bow, and a hand-lettered "Merry Christmas" tag to finish it off. There's even a scalloped snowflake border along the bottom that just makes it feel extra festive.
This box would be perfect for:
🎁 Teacher gifts
🎁 Neighbor and friend gifts
🎁 Stocking stuffers
🎁 Or just because you love someone and peppermint bark exists!
Thank you all so much for sticking around and welcoming me back with open arms. I can't wait to keep the Christmas crafting coming! 🎄💕

This post was made before I got my channel back. I will try my best to get a video out on Wednesday for Quick & easy Day. Hugs!
Hey Friends,
First I want to Update you to what has been happening, I will do a video at a later date with full explanation. It's been a Wild Ride! So for those who don’t know or who have been wondering where I have gone. I'm still here. My G-mail and YouTube Channel was hacked. It has been a super stressful journey, but I finally got my issue into the right hands and they are helping me get my channel back. I don’t know how long it will take, but please be patient because I don’t have any control over the situation. I will try to keep you informed here on my blog.
I decided to just post a Fall Gift Box here without a video but I will put a PDF as I normally do below. I wanted to share some of the new products coming in September. For those of you who are my customers you will still get a Catalog if you have purchased within the last six months. I'm behind with mailing out catalog requests because I have spend hours on my computer as you probably can imagine. I will definitely work on getting those to you ASAP.
This Gift Box was so fun because I used the New Foiling Dies for the leaves and they are gorgeous. If you don't have the foiling sytem you can use the Elegant Leaves Bundle coming on September 1st. So many great bundles coming. Also the August Product of the Month is the beautiful designer series paper I show here called Glow of Harvest, it's a Specialty Designer Series Paper and it's $5.00 when you order $75.00 or more.
I'm so sorry but my Gmail was hacked along with my YouTube Channel. Im trying to figure out how I can get it back which is no easy task because there is no phone numbers for YouTube or Google support. It's a real mess and I'm devastated. Its 13 years of my YouTube channel and hundreds of video's. If anyone can help me in any way, if you know someone who works for Google or YouTube I can contact. Ive been through everything. I dont know what will happen. I'm thinking of getting a new channel, but not sure if I can. I lost faith in what this world has become. I'm just a average girl trying to share what I love and make a living. Please be patient and I will keep you updated here on my blog. Love and Miss you all my friends!
