Deck the Halls Blog Hop 2

 Now isn't he cute????  I made these for last weekends craft show and immediately sold out ... so I made 20 of them for this weekend shows.  It has micro wave popcorn inside!!  I used a Sizzix embossing folder for the embossed snowflakes on his face ... I am loving these since they are bigger and embossed deeper.  The hat and carrot nose are cut on my Cricut and the snowflake and the eyes are punched out of glitter paper.  I rubbed light pink ink on his cheeks and tied a velvet bow at the bottom.

 On the back I added a pocket for a gift card and suggest adding a coupon for a movie or movie rental. 

 Here I have more of my Card Candy ... this has been a big hit for people who like to give gift cards for gifts.  I decorated these for the holiday season and sold out of them last weekend.  I made 50 new ones for the holiday and 30 non holiday ones up this week for a special order, for the beauty salons this week and for the up coming craft shows.  These are great for postman, teachers, friends, co-workers etc for a little gift with or without a gift card.

On the inside a add a piece of paper so you and slip a gift card and a note in with the Hershey's candy bar.

I still have more including my two favorite ones which will be debuting this weekend.   Be sure to check here to see more of the great projects for the Blog Hop!  And come back here for some more after my show on Friday!!!  Wish me luck I will be doing on in downtown Cleveland at Tower City .... a 3 story mall in the heart of Cleveland.  I hope it goes well.

Deck the Halls Blog Hop

 Welcome to the TAC Deck the Halls Blog Hop where we will be showcasing cards, home decor, gifts and more.  Most of the projects I will be sharing are for gift giving.  Like these little card enclosure with candy.  I recycled the clam shells that TAC's Hostess Level A sets come in and added a divider, four mini cards and candy.  Oh ... if you need more of these shells .... TAC is having a special right now where you can earn double Hostess rewards!!  Check it out! 

 I used all different kinds of candy for these ... here you can see I used three Hershey Nuggets ... and decorated them with punches, words and glitter of course!

The note cards are 3" squares and I used various stamped images and words on them.  The little words on most of these are from the classic set Tiny Tidbits.  This tree is from a retired hostess set.  I tied a ribbon at the top of each of these so it would have a finished gift wrapped look.

 These are another style I made with the theme of snow.  Each set I made (25 in total) is slightly different than just to keep me entertained
while I worked on them

 On these I used an edge punch for the cards

These snowflackes are punched from glitter paper.

 I didn't make them all with the holiday theme either since we do not always want to gift people with  holiday items only.  Here are a few more that I made.

I will be posting more in the next few days with other ideas for the Holidays.  Please go to the Hop to see others creations and join in on the fun yourself too!
