These little bags are part of the challenge over at Sunny Challenges & Creations – SC020/11 The challenge is to share something Chrissy – 3-D, Gifts, Cards, Scrapbooking or in fact, anything you like with a Christmas Theme.  So why not create something yourslef & link it with Mr Linky.
I created this little bag sometime ago – original may be found in this post  It is one that Frenchie did a video for & have always kept it in the back of my mind wanting to use it again. 
This was the perfect opportunity for the little bag… 
I made 2 of each colour & filled them with yummy chocolates for the crew at the Caloundra Community Centre.  No-one was around Friday when I dropped them in, so I hope they find them & enjoy the chocolates.

Stamp Set – Short & Sweet
Ink – Chocolate Chip
Cardstock – Riding Hood Red, Old Olive, Whisper White
DSP – Letters to Santa
Punches – Oval, Large Oval, Scallop Oval, Scallop Edge

Easy 5m Card…

Published on by Vicky Wright1 Comment
I have had to create 60 Christmas Cards for the Volunteers at the Community Centre.
To make it easy for me & not expensive for the Centre, I decided to see what I can come up with using the minimum supplies. 
This is the first of my 6/7 designs.
I stamped the images direct onto Whisper White Cardstock using Rich Razzleberry Ink & then drew the lines with my Rich Razzleberry Marker.
I scored 3 lines down the LHS using a ruler & my Bone Folder.
I stamped the Sentiment onto the card with Old Olive Ink.
That is it – 5 minutes tops!!!
Supplies –
Stamp Set – Tree Trimmings, Short & Sweet
Ink – Rich Razzleberry, Old Olive
Accessories – Bone Folder, SU Markers – Rich Razzleberry
Until next time, Enjoy!

?I run my smaller piece of Whisper White Cardstock through my Bigshot using Embossing Folder – Perfect Polka Dots.  I punched 2 strips of Pink Pirouette Cardstock using the Pinking Heart Border Punch & adhered once piece on either side of the embossed Whisper White piece.  This piece was then adhered to the Base Card – Whisper White – using Snail Adhesive.

I stamped my image onto a scrap piece of Whisper White Cardstock using Pink Pirouette Ink.  Cut the oval with my Bigshot & the Ovals Dies.  I again punched a long strip of Pink Pirouette with the Pinking Heart Border Punch & carefully adhered around the oval to form a border.  This piece was adhered to the card using SU Dimensionals.

I created this card sometime ago for the class I have at the Caloundra Community Centee on a Friday.  The ladies like to create their own Christmas Cards, so towards the end of the year, I try to bring in colours that could be used for Christmas or any occasion.
I have put this card in such a safe spot that I cannot find it, so please bear with me while I try & think of the measurements.  Fingers crossed they are not wrong!

I punched an oval in the middle of the smaller piece of Whisper White using my Large Oval Punch, prior to running it through the Bigshot using Embossing Folder – Perfect Polka Dots.
I stamped my greeting onto a scrap of Whisper White with Melon Mambo Ink & punched using my Extra Large Oval Punch.  This was adhered behind the embossed Whisper White & a Pretty in Pink frame created to adhered over the top. I created the frame by punching first with my Oval Punch & then my Scallop Oval Punch.
I adhered a piece of Ribbon across the bottom of the Whisper White, tucked the edges behind & adhered to the front of the card with Multipurpose Glue.
I stamped my images onto the piece of Whisper White Cardstock using Melon Mambo & Pretty in PInk Inks and ahered to the Melon Mambo Cardstock.
