I have to admit – vellum is something I don’t use often and I am often times a bit intimidated by it. I received this card as a swap and thought I would share it with you because of the great use of vellum! The creater used the embossing folder to ad texture and adhered it to the card front. Vellum is a great way to soften the look of “dark” cardstock or “busy” DSP.

What I love about today’s card is all of the texture! This card is really simple to make – textured cardstock, die cuts, embellishments, DSP – but no stamping! That’s right, there is no stamping on this card. Now, that’s not to say you can’t stamp a Christmas sentiment on the inside.

Nothing like making a decision last minute. But I do hope that my decision is a fun one for you. I have never done a 12 days of Christmas and I thought – why not this year! So here we are with Day 1 of my 12 days of Christmas.

I thought that today we would start with something a little sweet!

These fun wrappers are a quick and easy way to spread a bit of holiday cheer. Measurements for this project are pretty simple too! Take a piece of colored cardstock or even a piece of Designer Series Paper (DSP) and cut it to the length of the candy bar. Then wrap it around the candy bar for form a “belly band”. Make sure that you leave just enough room for the band to slide on and off.

For this belly band, I cut a mat that was about a 1/4″ smaller than the band front. I created my own DSP by stamping images from the Joy of Noel stamp set and Christmas Classics stamp set. I also colored a few images in just to add some interest. I die cut a banner from the Christmas Classics dies and stamped the sentiment onto it. Of course you need some bling – so I added a bit or ribbon and a few gems.

Don’t forget that this isn’t just a Christmas project! You can do these little treats for birthdays, Easter, Halloween, or to send a bit of cheer. I’d love to see what you come up with for your own sweet treats. Feel free to share your ideas on my Facebook page.
