12 Days of Christmas Blitz.  

I will share gift ideas, wrapping ideas, a tag, etc. each day beginning today and ending on December 23. Since this is the season of giving, there will also be opportunities to win free stuff!  I will be giving away a stamp set to 2 lucky winners at the end of our blitz.  Every day that you visit this blog and leave a comment, your name will be entered in a drawing for the free stamp sets.  There will be 2 winners and the name drawn first will have their choice of the prizes.  The second name drawn will receive the other set.  I must have contact information for you to be eligible to win a prize!  Here are the stamp sets that I will give away....

Day 1 Blitz Idea...

 Everyone needs lip balm, especially during these cold months.  This is an inexpensive, yet practical gift for any age.  Wrap it up in pillow box, or make a cute little box and hang it on the tree. The pillow box in the picture was covered with fabric (also cut out with the Big Shot using the pillow box die).  I used spray adhesive to attach the fabric to the cardstock pillow box.  I did not try to glue the ends closed, just tied them up with the ribbon.  Very quick and easy.  The box with the ribbon handle was only a little more time consuming.  I used the pattern below (thank you Michelle Litwiller!) and cut it out of Designer Series Paper.  Also quick and easy, which is just what we need since its already Dec.12!

Don't forget to leave a comment so you can be entered in the drawing for the stamp set give away!  Hope you have an awesome day.  Check back tomorrow for the next Christmas Blitz idea!
