SRM Christmas Card Gift Set

I am sharing a set of Christmas cards in a SRM A2 Card Box.  I created a set of 3 cards with 3 different Lori Whitlock SVG files and then embellished them with lots of SRM Stickers and Marschino Red Twine, my very favorite!  I used the Christmas Live Life Sticker Set along with Small Green Scalloped Punched pieces for my embellishments, a button and a bit of twine finish each card.

I included the cards and some envelopes in the A2 card box.

It will make a wonderful little gift this holiday season.

I used a Jamie Cripps SVG file to create the bow and then decorated the A2 box with FreeStyle Christmas Sticker Set along with another Red Small Scalloped punched piece!

I finished decorating the sides of the box with a layer of red washi tape layered with a love, joy and peace border sticker from Take 2 Christmas Stickers By the Dozen.

I love how this little gift turned out, the possibilities are endless with SRM Stickers for the Holiday Season!

I created a bunch of stocking stuffers with Lori's wonderful files. She has so many awesome files that work perfectly for stocking stuffers.  I used Lori's Echo Park Christmas Cheer Collection!

I love the pop of black in this collection...it really adds something great to the whole feel!

 

First, I made a Hand Sanitizer Holder and used Lori's

 wreath die cut!

And I added a bit of the Echo Park Washi Tape to decorate the inside just a bit.  I love that these hold the yummy scented hand sanitizers from Bath & Body!  They have tons of yummy scents for the Holidays!

Next, I made two Ghirardelli Chocolate Gift Boxes.  These are so cute.  Love them!  I decorated these with Holiday Cheer Chipboard.

Who wouldn't love these in their stocking!

Here's a peek at the inside!

And check out these adorable Chapstick Boxes.  So easy and quick to put together!
