Welcome to the SUDSOL Holiday Blog Tour. Below are some neat ideas to get your holiday crafting off to a great start. Sit back and enjoy my ideas and the 24 other blogs on this Hop!! I love being part of SUDSOL(Simply Unique Demonstrators Sharing OnLine) . There are always tons of ideas to help my business grow and get my creativity jump-started when I'm slumping.
You arrived here from Jennifer Weide thank you for stopping! The next blog link is at the bottom of this post.
Below is a Thank you gift I gave a few customers at a stamp camp a couple weeks ago. It's a cello bag filled with dimensionals and a baggie topper. The baggie topper is in Real Red and is 3"x6" scored at 1 1/2" on the 3" side. I then layered with Candy Cane DSP 2 3/4" x 5 3/4"(from the Holiday Mini) and stamped Thanks in Basic Black. As always... Click on image to increase size if you need too.
Next I made some table decorations using my favorite Sizzix Scalloped Envie Die. These were candy dishes we set on the tables at stamp camp. One of the lucky attendees got to take the candy dish home. All this is, is 4 of the envelopes(1 sheet cardstock) sticky stripped together to make a box. The handle is 1x10" sticky stripped inside.

As door prizes at stamp camp I made these little boxes and filled with fun SU! items. The big box contains one of our Stampin Up! Sanding blocks. The small ones have some ribbon and brads. I think I'm gonna stick some Hershey kisses/nuggets in these and give to co-worker at Christmas.
Supplies: You can get 2 out of one sheet of 8 1/2 x 11 cardstock
Cardstock Color to match DSP(it this case Choc Chip to match the Greenhouse Gala DSP)
= Cut piece to 5.5 x 6.25 or for the small 2.75 x 6.25 (Olive cardstock and Jolly Holiday DSP)
1 x 12” Designer Series paper to coordinate
10” ribbon to match
Score on the 6.25 side at 1.25/2.5/3.75/5 Score on th 5.5 side at 5/8" and 4 7/8"
Cut: On red lines
To assemble: Fold flaps from Section 2 up into box. Put adhesive on bottom portion. Then fold up Section 1 and stick to adhesive. Put a tiny bit of adhesive on outside edge of Section 3 which will overlap Section 1 when adhered together. Wrap DP around box and close using the ribbon.

Every month Stampin Up demonstrators recieve a magazine from Stampin Up filled with ideas to help us better run our businness. I saw the idea of a cardstock luminaria and wanted to try it. This was my take for the holidays and I just love how it turned out.
DIRECTIONS For this idea you'll need a cardstock square that can be divided into 3 equal parts(12x12 - 10.5x10.5 - 9x9 - 7.5x7.5 you get the idea)
Used: Snowflake Punch/Northern Hearts Set/Bashful CS and Navy/Eggplant Ink
1) Score square as show below.
2) Cut as direct below.
3) On top row of boxes and bottom row of boxes mark 1/2" from score lines as shown below.
4) Now cut cardstock as shown.
5) Throw away pieces you just cut out (or save for future project ;o)) 6) Decorate as you wish with stamped images of your choice. I used snowflakes(of course) 7) Punch or diecut 4 squares now with image of your choice(also used a snowflake punch). 8) Adhere together using sticky strip on 1/2" pieces. 9)Cut vellum the size of squares and adhere to inside of cardstock box. 10) Make sure to place lighted candle inside a jar and them place in luminaria and ENJOY!!!!
Until Tomorrow...Stampin in the SON!!!....jenni
