Creative Souls Holiday Party

It was a fun night for our Creative Souls, my creative Stamp Ink Divas group. We decided to get together in honor of Christmas. It was really nice to see everyone (minus a few members).

We worked on the Christmas Keepsake Card Box as our project that evening.

But we needed some delicious snacks, so I baked some cookies and then stamped them while still hot with our sweet pressed cookie stamps. When you order the cookie stamps, they come with some great recipes, but because I was short on time (and a bit of laziness), I went with frozen cookies. I think the stamp still worked fine but if you do use frozen cookies, remember to press them after they are finished cooking to get the best images and then let them cool.

Then, we gorged ourselves on appetizers that evening. But one treat I had to share was one that Stephanie Gaines made.

Cake pops! But check out how she decorated the container! Isn't it just beautiful? You can visit her here for more details.

Finally, we had our gift exchange and here are what some of them made.

Creative, creative, creative! 

Thanks for stopping by!

The Blog Candy Winner & Top Ten from Holiday Mini

My Top Ten from the Holiday Mini Catalog:

1. Gift Givers (123772(W)--$29.95/123774(C)--$22.95).

 I love how the stamps have coordinating punches. 

2. Simply Scored Tool (122334--$29.95). 

Its easy to design 3D items and make the perfect score marks smoothly and quickly. Includes 3 markers, stylus with 2 different sized tips, and grooves in 1/8" increments.

3. Narrow Cellophane Bag (124134--$2.50)

 

Perfect accessory for filling with little treats or anything you please. It could be decorated with a topper and makes a perfect gift. (And at that price for 50/package, I'm thinking 2 class gifts would be perfect.)

4. Peekaboo Frames Bigz L Die (124587--$32.95)

 Perfect little windows for an advent calendar or even cards.

 

5. Spice Cake Designer Fabric (124066--$9.95)

 

Love the colors and how easily it coordinates with the other products. Can easily be used in the traditional paper crafting to add different texture and depth.

6. Hand-Penned Holidays (124310(W)--$21.95/124312(C)--$16.95)

Beautiful and elegant script that the words themselves take center stage.

7. Pick a Pattern Festive Finishes (124097--$7.95)

Love the two different designs on one plate. 

8. Festive & Fun (123742(W)--$19.95/123744(C)--$14.95)

The name of the set says its all. Its perfect for different occasions and design is FESTIVE and FUN! 

 

9. Out on a Limb (123822(W)--$22.95/123824(C)--$16.95)

Its cute and easy to mix and match the different components for a fun and whimsical Halloween scene.

10. Holiday Stocking Bigz L Die (124098--$32.95)

Love how I can use different materials like paper, fabric, felt, and more to decorate for the holidays.
