I'll Be Home For Christmas

 

Thought I was all done with my holiday cards, but rec'd some in the mail from the guys at the company my husband used to work at before he retired.  I have a hard time making cards for men so picked this generic holiday door scene that I found at the Silhouette Store.  Cut out all pieces from Bazzill cardstock using my Silhouette Cameo.  Love that these are standard size and flat so I don't have to pay extra postage to mail them.

Christmas tree candy box

 

Making these cute little Christmas tree candy boxes for my neighbors.  Each box has dividers so they hold 4 chocolate candies.  It gives me a good excuse to go shopping at our local candy store that hand dips all their yummy candy.  I used cut file 52010 Christmas tree box from the Silhouette store.  Cut out all pieces with my Silhouette Cameo except for the clear plastic layer under the trees.  Attached with Xpress It double sided high tack tape.
