I was able to make a little time this morning to crop some of my "group shot" photos of the things I made for my school's annual Christmas Boutique. Rather than watermark each one (which I think is a pain), I decided to use MDS and create a page to showcase them and having to only watermark once (!). As you might not be able to tell from the photo, many of the items were also made using MDS. I will explain following the picture. Don't forget you can click on the picture to enlarge it for a better view!
Starting in the upper left corner is Peppermint Bark packaged with an MDS bag topper - YES, as 3-D as it looks, the whole topper is MDS. Moving to the upper right corner are my Gingerbread Houses with Gingerbread Men cookies inside. I drew the house and the white "icing" architectural features using my SCAL software and cut out {many} of them with my Cricut using all Stampin' Up! card stock (because it's the BEST!!). Center left, are some Candy Cane Reindeer I made, again drawing the reindeer head using my SCAL software and cutting them out with my Cricut using (retired) Close to Cocoa card stock. (Yes, I hated using some of my retired card stock for that, but I am trying very hard not to hoard!! :-)) In the lower left corner are my Hot Cocoa packs. I used MDS to make the "Hot Cocoa" labels and punched them out with the Decorative Label punch. I also used the Snowflake punch and Fancy Flower punch (gingerbread man) on these. In the lower right corner I used up lots of retired SU! card stock and stickers from some Simply Scrappin' sets, Big Shot die cuts, and other things in my stash, to make these adorable K-cup gift sets. I cut out the K-cup holders on my Cricut using a pattern I purchased from Lauren Meader.
I hope you enjoy these projects.
