Candy Cane Lane Treat Holders

Needing something even simpler and quicker for your Ferrero Rocher or Lindor ball treats for your christmas table...

Cut a few Gingerbread Houses out from your Candy Cane Lane papers... make simple box holders and stick together! The box holding the treat is just a 2 3/4" square piece of Early Espresso card scored at 3/4" on all 4 sides...

Pop them in a dome for instant decoration...

And here is the village... too cute!

Candy Cane Wreath

Now this is a seriously LARGE card... about 7 3/4" Square... 

Didn't plan to cut it that large... but I did... so then there was no point in trimming it down! I think I may be making this "mistake" again!! It certainly has presence...

Gingerbread men and mittens cut from the Candy Cane Lane papers... still on Special Offer!

Wreath and bow from Holly Berry Happiness

Candy Canes from Candy Cane...

Candy Cane Lane - A Round Up Post

Again the 4 for 3 Paper Offer excuse for a quick round up of Candy Cane Lane projects shared so far... Just click on the photo to go to the original blog post...

The Birdhouses...

The House Duos...

The Large White Wrapped Gift Box...

The Fold It Flip It (FIFI) Mini Book... tutorial on its way...

And lastly the House & Trees Card...

Still loving these papers - just finished another card using these papers today...so more to come!

Candy Cane Lane Fold It Flip It Book

Or shall I call it the FIFI Book for short!?

Love this mini book...can do 18 photos perfectly presented...

And simple enough to make when you work through step by step! Think it surprised everyone at classes...

Also purposely left very simply decorated... mainly from the Candy Cane Lane papers....

Simple decoration for 2 main reasons...

Firstly the end result should really be about the photos...

And secondly.... my ladies had a lot of other projects to work through for the day!

Now this mini book is an amalgam of favourite mini books I have made over the years... all re-designed to make a 6" Square Book...

Outer book format inspired by an Andrea Walford Flip n Fold Book (of which I made a few - though looking back- I never did share the finished mini books on my blog - maybe too many personal family photos on the finished albums)

Inner page format an update on a much used format - here in 2010, here in 2011 and a small one here in 2012

Now what do we reckon... Worth me offering a class-at-home kit for sale? Worth me writing up a tutorial?

Candy Cane Lane White Gift Box

Love these white gift boxes... 3" cube box plus a clear sleeve... a small gift will feel (and look) very special in one of these... Note that these are quite a bit larger than the 2" cube Tiny Treat boxes...

Simply dressed with the Candy Cane Lane papers and gorgeous Real Red Stitched Ribbon

Topped off with a frame from the hostess stamp set, Holly Jolly Layers. 

Want a hostess stamp set... but don't want to spend £150 in one go... then my Rewards Club could be the way for you...

Then Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas now... bet you are singing the song in your head!!!

Beary Merry Cookie Cutter Christmas!

After the popularity of my dress up Baby Bears... I just couldn't resist dressing up my Cookie Cutter Bear as Santa...

Silly but cute! And caused a laugh amongst the serious art of cardmaking in my classes!

Also used Candy Cane Lane papers and Tin of Tags stamps for the sentiment

Candy Cane Lane Trio

And to finish off my Candy Cane Lane Houses series for now... here is a tweak or two on this earlier one...

Different greeting (from Greetings From Santa)... love this greeting!

Tree cut from another of the Candy Cane Lane papers...

And then to finish off ... the addition of those mica flakes again... Sorry for bad photo...

And tomorrow... a break from Candy Cane Lane for now... and a bit of snowy mayhem maybe!

Candy Cane Christmas & Candy Cane Lane

So whilst I had the watercolor paper and aquapainter out... I had to produce another card...

Another cut out house from my favourite Candy Cane Lane papers...

Greeting same as on yesterday's birdhouse card too

Finished off with 3 trees stamped from the Candy Cane Christmas set... in Crumb Cake , Real Red & Early Espresso

Simples but very effective in the flesh...

Tweaking the Candy Cane Lane Birdhouse Card

Thank you for all your lovely comments about my birdhouse card yesterday... I am glad so many of you like it as much as I do...

So yesterday I admitted that I had already been tweaking my Candy Cane Lane Bird House card... so I think you may like this one too...

I just grabbed some watercolor paper, Pool Party ink and an Aquapainter...and gave it a good old random watercolor wash...

Everything else the same as yesterday's card... though I did forget to tell you a few details yesterday...

Greeting inked up with Pool Party ink pad, then inked up Christmas with a Real Red marker pen...and the rest with an Early Espresso marker pen...

The Seasonal Bells plant pot described in more detail  here... but I used Early Espresso card and ink...

And the Soft Suede wood post is wood-textured by stamping the Timeless Textures wood effect stamp in Soft Suede

And oh ... the inspiration for this card came when I was making this one...

Now which do you prefer? Wash or white!?

And oh... you may have noticed that the white version has had a little dressing up too... care of Fine Tip glue and clear Mica Flakes on the roof...

Candy Cane Lane Christmas Birdhouse...

Quick share today... birdhouse from Candy Cane Lane papers... greeting from Tin of Tags... birds from Thoughtful Branches... bow from Holly Berry Happiness... and pot from Seasonal Bells... Come back tomorrow for more details as to how...

Love it so much I have just made another on the same theme today... will be back to share that one soon when I have had a chance to take some photos!

Remember 56 houses in a pack of papers... that is a lot of easy cards!
