Make it a Precious Christmas

Celebrate the Season with some holiday crafting! It can be difficult to find the time to craft this time of year, but we hope that these quick projects will help inspire you.  

How cute are these little trees?! Mix and match various papers to create a unique forest of your own!

Who doesn't love a personalized gift box or bag? Simply cover an existing box, or create a box out of left over corrugate or card stock and cover it with the papers of your choice. 

Visit the open stock paper section at your local Jo-Ann Craft and Larger Superstores to find these and other Precious Moments papers.

Sweet Screens!

Tis’ the season of Candy Canes!

 I love this time of year and I wanted to share some of my holiday cheer by making your screens a little sweeter this holiday season with these candy cane themed wallpapers! Click HERE to download them for your computer and phone.

To make the candy canes I used pattens from our Cloud 9 Seasonal Paper Pads and Mat Stacks, now available at Jo-Ann Craft and Larger Superstores.

 

Have a Sweet Holiday Season!

So many project ideas!

Using the Girl Scouts product at Michaels Stores, we've created some great inspiration for you and your sisters across the United States!

...and if you've got a SWAP in your future, we have the perfect kits for you! Each mini craft kit makes at least 12 projects and with a ton of great SWAP ideas, they're the perfect troop activity. Check out just SOME of the cool crafts we made using our three kits. 

Handmade Holiday Made Easy!

It's easy to hand-make all of your holiday cards and tags when you've got a big stash of holiday paper. With the Cloud 9 Seasonal Paper Pads at JoAnn Fabric and Crafts Larger Superstores, it's pretty easy...almost too easy!

These paper pads highlight the colors, textures, and icons of the best seasons of the year.. Autumn, Halloween, and (of course) Christmas! It's enough paper goodness to get you through the entire holiday season! 

Fall and Halloween may be long gone, but now's the perfect time to start gathering photos and memories from the last couple of months and making cute projects with these papers!

But for now, let's talk about Christmas, shall we? I've made a couple quick, easy projects with the papers from this collection. You can whip up a gift tag in less than 5 minutes. It's so nice to give gifts with that little extra something special to show how much you care.

These little trees were a cinch to make, and they're easy to customize! They can stand alone as decoration, or can be used to top a handmade card or gift tag.

Don't underestimate the power of a cute gift tag. It adds such a nice, polished touch to your wrapped gift!

 

The Cloud 9 Seasonal Paper collection comes in 3 formats: A 180 sheet paper pad, a 48 sheet paper pad with glitter, foil, and varnish treatments, and a Mat Stack with glitter, foil, and varnish. So fun and festive! All 3 formats have an equal amount of Autumn, Halloween, and Christmas patterns so there's plenty to go around!

 

Visit your local JoAnns today and check it out! Merry Christmas and Happy crafting!
