Let's visit a project from Christmas Past that's  is one of my favorites. This triangle Santa box is not only adorable but easy to make!  It can be used as an ornament but also holds treats!

Some of the products used for this cute project are retired but I bet you can come up with alternatives.  Here are some ideas...

• Use the Subtle 3D Embossing Folder for Santa's beard.
• Use the Starburst Punch for the Silver Glimmer cuff on his cap.
• Use a 1" Circle Punch for the ball of his cap and 1/2" Circle Punch for his eyes.
• Use one of the small oval dies for his face.

You can make this fun Santa Triangle Box is lots of different ways so I hope you will try making some!

Now, be sure you are keeping up with the latest from Ink and Inspirations!

Thanks for checking in for the refresh on the Santa Triangle Box...have a great weekend!

Here's an idea to involve your "littles" in preparation for Santa's visit! 

How about leaving Santa's cookies in a personalized bag? The little ones can color the Santa from the Holly Jolly Christmas Bundle and you can do the rest! I think it's a fun alternative for cookies on a plate!

Let's take a look at the how-to video!

Lisa's Inklings:

• You will need two pieces of Poppy Parade CS cut at 6" x 6".
• Score at 1-1/2" on three side of three sides of each piece.
• The designer paper is cut just for the front at 2-3/4" x 4-1/4".
• You will need a piece of Shimmery White CS cut at 4" x 5" to stamp Santa.
• Cut the "Santa" letters from scrap Sparkle Glimmer paper.

Here are the supplies for the Santa Cookie Box:

Have the little ones color the Santa before adhering to the box.  Use Watercolor Pencils or crayons for the coloring.  Maybe this will start a tradition with your children and grandchildren.  Let me know if you try this...I will be waiting to hear from you!

Today's project is a sweet Christmas card featuring the So Many Stars bundle.  The sentiment and the font are so pretty!

The designer paper is no longer available but you could create your own background with stamps and Copper Stampin' Emboss Powder.  Let's take a look at the quick video.

Lisa's Inklings:

• Card base is Night of Navy 5-1/2" x 8-1/2". 
• Cut another Night of Navy piece instead of designer paper at 4" x 5-1/4".  You can stamp, emboss, or texture this piece.
• You will need another piece of Night of Navy cut at 4" x 4" to die cut for the sentiment.
• Die cut a star from a piece of Sparkle Glimmer paper approx. 4" x 4".

You can easily dress up your Thanksgiving table with supplies from you craft room. 

In the photo above, you can see three examples of napkin rings.  The 2019 Gather Together Bundle and the Come To Gather Designer Series Paper are highlighted here.  Use any combination of leaves, sentiments, and images to make beautiful napkin rings.

If you do not have use for napkin rings, use these elements to create place cards such as the one in the upper right of the photo.

For the napkin rings, cut a piece of designer paper to 1" x 8".  Add elements using inks and card stocks to complement the designer paper.

For the place card, cut the designer paper 3" x 4".  Fold in half at 2".  Use a label punch with a light neutral card stock for a space to write the names of your guests.  Add leaves or stamped images in the upper left corner to make it fancy.  You can make these ahead of time and store them easily.

Your paper crafting supplies can serve you well for home decór and party planning.  Try this idea for your Thanksgiving table to surprise and delight your family and friends.

When seeing this cute oven mitt at the Dollar Tree, I knew that adding a tag would make it a sweet gift.

Once again the Gather Together Bundle and the Come to Gather Designer Series Paper provided just the right touch for this Thanksgiving gift.

The pleated medallion is one of my favorite handmade embellishments.  It makes this tag extra special!

Let's take a look at the how-to video tutorial so you'll be ready to make one in a jiffy!

Lisa's Inklings:

• Old Olive CS is cut 2" x 5-1/4".
• DSP is cut 1" x 12".
• Merry Merlot, Early Espresso, Whisper White - 2" x 2"
• You will need a hot glue gun to assemble the medallion.
