Festive Friday Blog Candy!!!

Filed Under 3D, Blog Candy, Christmas 

Happy Friday!!! It has been ages since I have given away any blog candy. So today is the day! This is my way of thanking you for coming to my new blog and leavilng such sweet comments! But before I get to the candy…I want to show you my Festive Friday project. Thanks to the incredibly talented Lauren Meader- I have made a fun cup holder with hot chocolate and marshmellows!

 

 

Isn’t it adorable?! I think this would be a fabulous hostess gift for Holiday parties or even a fun teacher gift. The Mr. Twigster stamp set is just too darn cute! I filled the cello bags with hot chocolate mix and large marshmellows and then just tied it closed with some Old Olive ribbon. I covered the cups with some pretty Designer series paper. If you have never covered cups with paper before- here is a tip: Take an extra cup and cut it done the seem on the side. Cut the bottom of the cut off. Now use this as a template and trace it onto your patterned paper.

Recipe:

Stamps: Mr. Twigster, Many Merry Messages

Paper: Ski Slope Designer Series Paper, Real Red, Old Olive, Whisper White

Ink: Basic Black, Old Olive

Other: Circle Scallop Punch, 1 3/4 circle punch, 1 3/8 circle punch, white gel pen, real red and Pumpkin Pie Markers, Small Felt Flurries, Real Red Button, Old Olive Ribbon, Disposable cups (bought at Target), hot chocolate mix, and Large Marshmellows

 

Now on to the blog candy!!!!

Would you like to win a pack of Stampin’ Up! Designer Series paper?!!! Of course you would!!! There are so many adorable prints! All you have to do to win is leave a comment on this post. If you want- tell me which type of project you liek the most- cards, scrapbook pages, or 3d projects. Leave your comment by 8AM MST on Monday, October 20th. I will anounce my winner Monday! Good luck!

    Jamie, I don’t know how I came upon your blog but I have secretly followed it for awhile now. I love to scrapbook so I always look at your scrapbook pages (and I love them). I just received Nov. issue of Cards and I saw Stampin Mommy of 4 in there, congrats on your publication.

    Hi! I have recently found your post and love all of your ideas. My favorites so far are the Pencil Holder Tutorial and the Halloween Peppermint Patties box. I am already thinking about Christmas gifts for my children’s school and Brownie troop and I think I will be making the Pencil Holder. Thank you for providing so many ideas!

  32. Tracy Greven on October 18th, 2008 6:55 am

    That is a hard one Jamie, because I really like almost anything that you do, but if you are making me choose, I have to say your scrapbook pages are STUNNING and provide me with some real inspiration to get cracking on my pages.

    Thanks for the blog candy opportunity
    Tracy

    Hi Jamie! I’ve added your blog to my Google REader! I like all kinds of projects, cardmaking, scrapbooking and 3D projects. Right now I’m doing more cardmaking though, but 2 weeks I did 3 scrapbook pages, and since I’m a teacher, I also do 3D paper projects!

    I subscribed to you blog a short while ago. I love all of your ideas. I started off scrapbooking but got into cardmaking when we moved. I’ve recently been into making all sorts of goodies in 3d and absolutely love it. I really like making cute gifts for people, and personalizing them is really fun. Thanks for your inspiration!!

  47. Donna on October 18th, 2008 10:50 pm

  51. Sarah on October 19th, 2008 6:47 am

    I just love your blog! It’s so hard to pick a favorite project. I am absolutely drawn to your scrapbook pages. They’re always great! I love all of your other stuff too, though. There is never a bad post. :)

    Thanks for the chance to win!

  52. lisa on October 19th, 2008 8:04 am

    Hi! I have recently found your post and love all of your ideas. I am already thinking about Christmas gifts I just love your blog! It’s so hard to pick a favorite project

  53. DeAnn Davies on October 19th, 2008 11:54 am

    Hi Jamie!
    I was just complaining to myself last night that I’m out of ideas for Christmas gift projects for co-workers and voila! Here you go, giving me something so darned cute to make! I love the hot chocolate holder and cups idea! Darling!
    Keep the great gift ideas coming, they’re my favorite.
    Also, I thought I’d let you know that the Christmas Tree and Snowflake stamp set I bought from you is nearly worn out now…I use it most everyday!!!! I LOVE it!

  54. Jill Fernan on October 19th, 2008 1:54 pm

    Scrapbook pages not a surprise for me huh jamie. Love all the stuff but have to stick with my true love.

  55. Alison on October 19th, 2008 2:24 pm

    What a cute project! I love looking at 3-D projects, but I seem to be a “3-D challenged” artist. I prefer making scrapbooks and minibooks.

  56. Pat S. on October 19th, 2008 2:42 pm

    Hi Jamie!
    I am already a subscriber, and have been admiring your cards. But, this time of the year, I am especially interested in the 3D projects. That cup holder is too cute!

    Thanks for a chance to win :)

  57. Patty E. on October 19th, 2008 6:00 pm

    I love cards!

  60. stephanie on October 20th, 2008 7:05 am

    You do some amazing work. That coffee holder is just adorable. I’ll have to try it for myself. I really enjoy making cards but have drifted to scrapbooking since I just had my son in March. It seems like I have to capture every moment of him and scrapbook it. Can’t you tell I’m a first time mom?!

  61. Carrie on October 20th, 2008 7:49 am

    I love your scrapbook pages. I make a lot of them! :)
    By the way, can you tell me how to make that bow on the bag from last entry?

  62. Elizabeth Glass on November 21st, 2008 3:30 am
