Delightful Gift Jar Set
Hi Friends,
I love giving gifts. Making them is even more special. I will often take something very simple and then add my handmade touches to it with a tag, or embellish with accessories or handstamp packaging to match.
Hello Everyone, Tina from DeNami Addict here. Today I have a fun and easy little gift set to show you. Mason jars have been around for ages and have recently become all the rage from food storage, decorating the house to sipping some ice cold lemonade. Did you know they work wonderfully for gift giving also? You can dress up and put just about anything inside from dry ingredients for a batch of yummy cookies to fun little trinkets as I’ve done here.

Hello Everyone, Tina from DeNami Addict here. Today I have a fun and easy little gift set to show you.

You can dress up and put just about anything inside from dry ingredients for a batch of yummy cookies to fun little trinkets as I’ve done here.
And what’s cuter than a little
card to match, right? For the card I started out with an A2 sized red card base
then layered on a piece of chocolate and finally another piece of red that I dry
embossed with a polka dot embossing folder (HINT: try out DeNami’s DA-1215-59Dot Embossing Folder). I cut a strip of chocolate cardstock a little wider than
the ribbon I wanted to use and edge punched one edge before giving it a pretty little bow treatment. I then
adhered it to the card base. I punched and stacked scallop circles in chocolate
(2 ½”) and red (2”) then added a white one (1 1/2”) that I had stamped with the
D175 Candy Cane Chickie, Happy Holidays sentiment from the PF63 ChristmasGreetings Petit Fours set and the I53 Medium Dot Circle frame (don’t forget all
the wonderful circle sentiment frames that DeNami carries also). I added this
to the front of the card with foam tape. To finish it all off I added some cute
red twine from the TW005 Classic Twine pack and Christmas bells along with a
bit of sequins.
For my little jar I simply cut a
length of chocolate cardstock and wrapped it around the jar letting the ends
meet in the front. I then added a length of the same red grosgrain ribbon I
used on the card and again, let the ends meet in the front. I punched more
circles from chocolate (2 ½”) and red (2”) then added a white one (1 ½”) that I
had stamped using the D175 Candy Cane Chickie and the I53 Medium Dot Circle. I adhered this little stack to the
front of the jar covering/hiding the ends of the chocolate strip and ribbon. I
punched another red (2”) and white (1 ½”) scallop circle, stamped the same
sentiment (from the PF 63 Holiday Greetings set) and adhered it to the jar’s
lid. To finish it all off I added the
same red twine (from the TW005 Classic Twine package) and Christmas jingle
bells along with a bit of sequins.
As you can see, I filled my jar
with lots of crafty goodies for a special friend. But think about all the possibilities
with something like this, it’s truly endless – for example, you could change
out the D175 Candy Cane Chickie for maybe the B108 Heart Chickie or the C69Valentine Chickie and fill the jar with candies for a sweet Valentine. There
are a TON of Petit Four sentiments that would go perfect with that theme – PF26Assorted Greetings set, PF28 Heartfelt Greetings set or even the PF42 LoveSentiments set. You could also make a fun spring themed jar set for a friend or
even Mother’s Day using the C72 Chickie With Flower or D152 Gardening Chickie
and fill your jar with seed packets and even tie a little hand shovel or a pair
of gardening gloves to the jar. There are so many things you can do for this
super easy yet sweet little gift from the heart. Don’t forget about gift cards
too, what a fun way give one…you can easily find a Chickie that would match any
gift card theme you’re going for whether it be shopping, a restaurant or even a
home improvement store!
Items Used:
D175 Candy Cane
Chickie
I hope you
enjoyed my little gift set and I hope you make a few of your own. I’d love to
hear about what you put in your little jars – the possibilities are endless!

Focusing on the Sentiments
Hi Friends,
How is your Christmas preparations going? If you are like me, as soon as Thanksgiving is over, the mad dash begins! I have so many ideas and aspirations of what I want to accomplish during the Christmas season that it can be daunting. I am not a perfectionist, actually, I should rephrase that, I am a recovering perfectionist. So everything doesn't have to be perfect. I look at the big picture and see the big things that mean the most to me to do.
For me making memories and sending out our family love is first and foremost with regards to activities. I like to keep things simple and enjoy the process. Sending out Christmas cards is one of those important things to me. It is the one time of year I reach out to distant relatives, old friends and out of town people I never get to see. It takes time to prep, but it is my gift of love to them. I love Christmas and love sharing the love and joy it brings.
The message of Christmas is so important. That is a "why" of what we do it for. Today, Tammy shares with us how you can use the message to be central in your card. This concept is great for all kinds of occasions. It can be for birthdays, weddings, anniversaries, holidays... It also stretches out your stamp sentiments to not just being inside a card, but can be the showpiece.
Tammy explains how she put this cheery card together. Read below for her take.
Hello DeNami Friends,
Tammy here again with a card showcasing one of DeNami Design new release sentiments as the focal point.
I started this card by piecing together the patterned papers and adding
to the Hunter Green card base. I then wrapped the piece over the
connection of the papers with white seam binding ribbon which I tied in a
fussy bow and embellished with a bow made of raffia topped with a red
button laced with red hemp twine.
Next I die-cut a scallop oval shape on white cardstock. I stamped the Peace Hope Joy
sentiment in the center using Olympia Green Ink. I used a die-cut of
Holly I had leftover from a previous project and added them to the lower
right of the oval framed sentiment. You can add anything for an
embellishing touch. Lastly, a trio of pearls was added to the upper
right corner to complete this Christmas card.
I hope you enjoyed my card today! Be sure to check out the new release here.
Thanks for stopping by!

Penguins in Igloo Card
Hello Friends,
Do you love penguins as much as I do? I love them when they have squishy bellies and a cute little face. The great thing about stamping is that you can make penguins ANY color you like! You can make them pastel, bright, green, blue, pink! You can easily make them dimensional by adding clear 3D Lacquer to give that shiny look. You can either do it just on their beaks and feet or on their whole body. If you add 3D Lacquer on their belly and sprinkle DeNami's Fun Fluff, you can give their bellies some fluff to it. Add some to the santa hat trim and you've got lots of cute dimension. The cool part is the 3D Lacquer is also acid free, so you can stamp these images on your scrapbooks for your keepsakes.
Today, Tammy is showcasing just one central stamp for the card. You can do this same technique with any of your favorite stamp images. It works best with the medium to large images for this size card. You can always use our circle stamps to "expand" your small images to make them look larger. Our circle stamps "nest" within each other so you can combine words and decorative borders together to frame the stamp image.
Here is Tammy's description on how to make this cute Penguins in Igloo card.
Hello DeNami Friends,
It's Tammy here to bring you another card featuring one of the newly released stamps. Penguins in Igloo. No sentiment was added on the outside to leave this cute card open for a couple of options. You can use it for a thank you for after the holidays, you can create an invitation on the inside for a Holiday Party. It sure looks like those cuties are saying come in and let's be Merry!
Super simple but super cute don't you agree? Thank you for stopping by!

It's a simple one, just by adding a few layers of solid and patterned
paper to the base, you create a cute frame for your focal image. You
can either color in with markers or pencils. For a little extra sparkle,
I used a Quickie Glue Pen and Blue Ice Glitter to their hats.

Friendly Seal Tag Card
Hi Friends,
Do you love cute little animals like I do? This season we are featuring a seal for the first time. It is called D174 Friendly Seal. You can dress him up with a santa hat, birthday had or bow to dress him up for all occasions.
Lisa E did a fabulous job adding lots of texture and layers to make this a dimensional and lovely card.
You can easily make this in various colors to match your style. You can cut out a little iceburg and perch him on it along with several friends.
Lisa shares how she created this adorable card.
She writes:
I'm sharing one today that features another of the new DeNami Christmas stamps.
I think this little Friendly Seal is my favorite from the new release, it's so darn cute!! I stamped and colored the little fella then trimmed him out and covered him with Glossy Accents. While he dried I created the rest of the card.

I die cut three PPP tags. I stamped the small white tag with an Ornamental Centerpiece image then added a layered die cut wave border to tuck the seal into. I used the {Noel} sentiment from the Christmas Greetings Set, along with some pretty decorative paper and Antique Rose Rhinestones.
