If you’re looking for some fun and festive projects, you’ll love what Stamptastic Friends have prepared for you. We have some amazing ideas for Christmas wrapping and gift giving that you can do in no time. You’ll find some brilliant ways to make your holidays sparkle and shine.

I came across these cute hand lotion tubes with holiday designs a few weeks ago. They seemed like a perfect little gift for myself or for some of my girlfriends. But I didn’t want to give them as they were. I wanted to add some flair to them. So, I made a simple box to put them in. I filled my box with hand lotion, but you can put anything you like in it. A sample of some of your favorite candy or cookies, a small piece of jewelry, a pair of Christmas socks…and more!

This is such a simple gift box to make, and I hope you’ll try it out.

Hues of Happiness

Today I’m excited to show you Wiper Cards. This was a new card technique for me, and I had a lot of fun trying it out. I can’t wait to make another one! These cards are called Wiper Cards because they have a moving element that resembles a windshield wiper…kind of.

Beary Cute Wiper Card

This is the card open.

Beary

This is the card folded up tp go in the envelope.

I combined the Beary Cute Bundle with the Merriest Trees Bundle to create my card. I love the result. The bear is so cute, and the trees make a lovely background. My card base is Pretty Peacock & I matched the Balmy Blue DSP with Cherry Cobbler DSP to add some contrast.
