Little Gifty Things - Santa's Workshop

This weekend I had my Santa's Workshop class - here's 2 of the fun things we made (the other 3 will be posted on Thursday):  Most of them use the new Close To My Heart Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge (Z1686, $99).  I LOVE this cartridge.  I don't feel the need to buy a bunch of other cartridges because there are 700 shapes on this one.  So with the different sizes, you can do 32,000 different combinations! wowie.  PLUS it comes with 3 coordinating stamp sets AND 3 sheets of Dimensional Elements.

Gift Card Holder

The pillow box and tag cutouts are Cricut shapes (yay, I can make them in any color!).  I cut mine at 5 1/2" so I could get two on a 12x12 sheet.  It holds a gift card nicely!   

Supplies Used:  Colors-Holiday Red, Topiary, White Daisy; Believe Paper Pack; Stamp Set:  December 25th (C1469, $13.95).  The ribbon is from my local craft store.  For adhesive on the box, I recommend Terrifically Tacky Tape or Miracle Tape.  It's super sticky and will work great to hold the box together.  Tombow just isn't sticky enough.

Decorated Post-It Note Holder

I LOVE decorating Post-It notes for Christmas.  This one is a 3x3 Post-It note pad decorated with a little paper.  Last year we did them with a Velcro dot enclosure, but this year it's more like a book cover.  

Supplies Used: The flowers are from Hooray Bouquet (D1491, $17.95).  (I cut out the flowers with the Cricut first.)  Kraft Card Stock (Z1375, $9.50) (Desert Sand would work, too). Paper Pack: Elemental (X7141B, $9.95). Ink Colors: Pacifica, Sorbet, Sky and Desert Sand (for edging).  Just Blooms paper butterflies (Z1463, $5.95 for 68 butterflies in different sizes).   Sponge Daubers (to color the butterfly), Basic Button Assortment (Z1391, $5.95), Sorbet Waxy Flax (Z1249, $3.95), Glue Dots, Foam Mounting Tape.

SO fun.  Come back in 3 days to see the other 3 goodies we made at my Santa Workshop.
