Christmas in September?

So I know it is only September but with the mini catalogue now officailly available to order from I just couldn't resist posting the other stamp club project we did last week. Isn't it so stinkin' cute?! Just think of all the possibilities this could be used for. One of my customers roast their own coffee beans and will be using this idea to gift the coffee to their kids teachers for Christmas this year. I thought that was a great and unique idea.

I started with a jar that was purchased from a dollars store and used some of the fabulous Christmas Cocoa Specialty paper that has just a touch of metallic in it. This paper is so beautiful and also has 2 designs in it that are flocked! We attached the paper to the jar with my trusty Sticky Strip (this red line double sided tape will hold anything together!) and also wrapped Real Red Ribbon around the paper again using Sticky Strip. There is a little bit of Silver Cord knotted on the ribbon to give it a little bit more pizzaz. The words "Holly Jolly" are from the new Rub Ons Merry and Bright. These Rub Ons are amazing with so many options and have all sorts of different Christmas sayings and also include Ornament shaped designs that can be punched out perfectly with the new Ornament Punch! Loving it!

Many of the other Rub Ons match up well the Scallop Circle Punch or 1 3/4 Circle punch which is the one I used to punch out my words then attach it to the jar with Dimensionals. I also used some of the snowflakes from the Rub Ons pack and put them directly on the jar and also the Designer Paper. The top of the jar was decorated using a 1 3/4 Circle of Real Red Cardstock and a tag created using the Delightful Decorations Stamp set. The Oranament "To/From" stamp was inked up with Soft Suede and punched out with the matching punch. Again Silver Cord was added and used to tie a bow around the top of the Ornament image. So easy to do yet such a great way to give candy, coffee or any type of treat in. Would also be super cute way to gift buttons, pieces of ribbon and other accessories in.

Thanks for popping by and have a great day!
