12th (& final) Handmade Gift Idea for Christmas brought to us by Heather
Experiment with the colours until you have an effect that you are satisfied with.
The next step is to decorate your canvas in whatever manner you would like. I wanted to create a Merry Christmas canvas so I pulled out my Merry Christmas Quickutz dies and some scraps from the American Crafts Dear Lizzy line. I then used some Bazzill cardstock along with two of the new Lifestyle Crafts dies -- Branches & Berries, and Holly. I arranged my pieces on the canvas and moved them around until I was pleased with the arrangement, than adhered them.
We hope you have enjoyed the DT's 12 Handmade Gift Ideas for Christmas. Thanks for visiting with us each day We'd love to see some of the fabulous handmade gifts that you have created for your friends and family.
Over 6 styles to choose from
I then cut a piece of patterned paper 1.5 inches larger than the chipboard. Make sure you score the chipboard in half before adhering the paper. Fold the sides in and securing it to the chipboard piece.

Today I'm showing you how I made a paper wreath. It can also work as a picture frame! I used a plain wood frame, a Quickutz scalloped circle die, adhesive, Distress ink, paper and some embellies.
I added some red cardstock, but forgot to photograph it!
Then glue them down. Make sure the FIRST circle you glue down you leave the side that is not under the other circle glue free. You'll see why at the end.
This is why we didn't glue the whole circle down in the beginning.
And here's our finished wreath:
Here's another variation I did a few years ago:
Here is what you will need 
Patterned paper - Basic Grey Jovial
assemble the gift card holder and attach to back of stocking
glue the tip of a skewer and insert it between the pocket and the stocking so the pointy tip is hidden
Now die cut your snowflakes, I cut 3 for each 3 dimensional snowflake and scored a grove down the middle of each to fold in half
Now glue 3 together
glue the tip of a skewer and insert it up the centre of the snowflake
Now fill your treat bags with candy or chocolate or whatever and place in mug. Insert the skewered stocking and snowflakes and tie off the bag. Now tie some ribbon around the handle and one of Vicki's handmade tags, insert a gift card in the cardholder and give to teacher and bask in the praise you will receive!!!Friday November 26th, 2010

I also used mini brads to attach the sweaters to the ribbon. I was able to emboss two sweaters at one time, so it went quite quickly. 
Thanks for looking.
For this one, you start with a piece of thicker pp which is 7x4.5 inches. Score the paper at 3 and 6 inches along the width and at 3 inches along the length.
Fold at the scored lines to create a pocket. Seal along the bottom and one side.
Embellish as you desire. I used as border sticker and then pop dotted the saying on the top.
The second one I created was the easiest of all. You will need an old toilet paper roll - that's right, a toilet paper roll. Flatten it and seal the one end. Cover with paper and embellish as desired.
Once you have scored and folded the paper, you want to cut the left hand side smaller piece. I then scored and folded the remaining smaller piece.
Embellish the front of the card.
I actually got brave and made a video tutorial for this one. So enjoy and try not to laugh too hard!

Here is what you will need...
I didn't take any photos as I was making it, but it is super easy.
I removed the bland plastic cover from the pocket calendar so that I could work with the cardboard covered calendar alone. I inked all of the edges with Vintage Photo Distress Ink. Then I cut a front and back cover for the calendar, inking the edges. I selected an element from the paper -- in this example I chose the popcorn strings -- to fussy cut as an accent. Finally I took a length of the ribbon that would wrap completely around the centre of the calendar -- I wanted it to serve as a bookmark so that it will be easy and quick to find the current date on the calendar. I adhered it to the edge, using it as a binding, then loosely tied it at the top.
Now I have a pretty little pocket calendar to add to someone's stocking this Christmas.
By adding some number and letter stickers to the cover the calendar can be more personalized with the year and the recipient's name.
