Christmas Gifts

WOW, have I been busy, baking, stamping, addressing Christmas cards, visiting, wrapping, creating, etc.  I am sure you know how that is.  But, I wanted to show you the pins I made for gifts!  I made them with the Flower Folds XL die.  I saw these at Convention this past summer and LOVED the idea.  Then more recently I saw Christie Daughtery's  pins on her blog Stamp Shack Lady and she had the genius idea of putting them together with HOT GLUE!    Loved that and ran with it, since I had purchase a bunch of fabric scraps from my neighbors garage sale this summer!  

Here is the pin that I made for my sister who loves yellow and bright colors, looks good with her red hair!

Can you see that I put a stacked corduroy button in the middle!  I love all the colors and texture and if you look close you can see how I tucked some white tulle in there, that was like the icing on the cake!  

Now, check out how I packaged it: 

 I made a matching butterfly hair clip for the top of the organdy bag (WAY RETIRED SU! item that I some how have a bunch of).  This hair clip is  just 3 butterflies cut  with the Beautiful Butterflies die and  hot glued together with another corduroy button on top.  

Here is another flower pin I made for Samantha's gymnastics coach:

I put a flower and half pearl from the pretties kit in the middle, just be careful as the hot glue shows through the flower and obviously I used too much.   

I also made one for my daughter and her Hello Kitty (from Build-a-Bear) so that they can match. I put Samantha's on a head band and Hello Kitty's has a piece of Velcro on the back.  

These were lots of fun and GREAT gifts, you show try your hand at them!  

Happy Stampin'
