Design Notes: Using the magic wand tool in Photoshop Elements, I was able to create a digital template for the shapes inside the lines of the gingerbread house and "clip" digital papers to them to create the look I wanted. I used one of the digital papers as a background to the classic poem. The house and poem on paper were printed, then cut out and adhered to the box. This little box will make a great container for a small gift, cookies, or other treats.

Merry Christmas Card by Stacey Michaud

Supplies: Digital Stamp: Digital Delights by Louby Loo, Paper, Sticker: Scenic Route, Cardstock: Bazzill Basics Paper, Hemp: Darice, Colored Pencils: EK Success.

Design Notes: This is my take on an inchie card! I chose three similar images, all of that little, cute mouse and placed them in a sequence. I added pop-dots under the images as well as tied some hemp to give the card texture and dimension.

Mouse Gift Bag by Janneke Smit

Supplies: Digital Stamp: Digital Delights by Louby Loo, Papers, Chipboard: Sandylion Sticker Designs, Bag: Michaels, Pencils: Staedtler, Ribbon: SEI, Beads: JudiKins, Brad: Making Memories, Eyelet: Magic Scraps, Tools: Hole Punch (Making Memories), Water Brush (EK Success).

Design Notes: I colored the image with watercolor pencils. To give the brim and ball of the hat some sparkle, I brushed on glue and sprinkled a layer of tiny clear glass beads on top. I made a quick tag by punching a hole through a chipboard circle, setting an eyelet and threading ribbon through it. I love working with (digital) stamps because you can use any color you want on the image to match the rest of your project.
