Three Amigos Blog Hop Challenge #21

Welcome to the Three Amigos Blog Hop. We are three friends with a love for stamping and scrapping, and would like to share our creative ideas with you on the 3rd of each month. There are only three stops on this hop, so it will only take a few minutes to hop through. When you finish hopping, be sure to check out the Three Amigos Blog Hop Challenge!

This month, our challenge is Christmas/Winter/Holiday!  I pulled out my 'Tis The Season Paper Pack and put together a few treat boxes and ornaments.

My score board and bone folder definitely got a workout for these adorable gifties! I can't decide which one I like best. They were all fun to make! 

This little box was created using my envelope punch board. I started with a square piece of paper, punched and scored, folded into a box, and embellished. Easy peasy!

This ornament looks complicated, but it went together in no time flat. The top opens up so treats can be tucked inside. I embossed the sentiment on the tag and added a gold snowflake charm to play along with the Double Trouble Challenges this month.

How adorable is this triangle treat box?! I colored our White Ribbon using a Sponge Dauber and Candy Apple Ink Pad. Tuck a small surprise inside and you have an adorable stocking stuffer!

I was playing around with the dahlia fold for an interactive card idea I had for November, but life got in the way, and the card didn't come together. I made this cute tag/ornament out of it instead.

Thanks for hopping by today! Hop over to Lisa's Blog and Donna's Blog to see what they created for you, then over to the Three Amigos Blog Hop Challenge.

We are collaborating with Double Trouble Challenges this month!  If you link to both challenges (Three Amigos and Double Trouble), you get an extra chance to win at their challenge.

We hope you play along!

Happy Chinese New Year!

Happy New Year! We are now entering the year of the Goat. I read somewhere that it's Chinese tradition to avoid having children during the year of the goat because it's considered unlucky. We are starting out this new year with some misfortune, but we have every intention of turning the misfortune into opportunity!

A few weeks or so ago, Cricut offered the Chinese characters as a free cut. I found this cute project in the Cricut Design Space "make it now" area which cut six Chinese characters and mini envelopes to hold a treat. I cut the envelopes from cranberry cardstock. The characters were cut from retired gold metallic paper I had in my stash. The meaning of each character was written on the flaps of the envelopes with the pen inserted into the Cricut Explore.

Adding the cut characters to the envelopes was a little tricky. Some of the pieces are very tiny and kept sticking to my fingers. I used the negative areas from the cuts for the placement.

I filled the envelopes with milk chocolate gold coins. My daughter works at a Chinese restaurant and is excited to give them to her co-workers.

May your New Year be filled with Love, Honor, Friendship, Home, Strength, and Fortune!

Thanks for stopping by!
