Two K-cup and Treats-Handmade Gift Box-Easy Paper Craft-Christmas Gift Rejoice and Create 2020-12-20 | Here is an easy, handmade treat box, for a wonderful and tasty Christmas gift for friends and family that has two K-cups and some tasty treats.I use a 1 3/4" punch for the cup insert, but you could trace the top of the kcup, which is two inches, and cut 1/8" INSIDE the line. Or, use a 1 1/2" punch, and make several, 1/8" long, radiating cuts outward to make a snug way to nestle the cups. Think rays of the sun.I hope you enjoy this last minute project that can be created and filled without breaking the bank.

Flare Top Gift Box Christmas Paper craft Tutorial Christmas Gift Ideas Rejoice and Create 2020-12-05 | This is a replica of a box a friend received, and she graciously sent pictures and measurements so I could create some, because the flare top and size of the box was very useful! Starting with two pieces of 7 1/2" by 11" card stock, and four pieces of patterned paper that are 3" by 3", you can create this useful box, too! I sized the mats so I could get all four from one 6x6 paper, but if you want a smaller border and are using larger paper, you could go 3 1/4" by 3 1/4". Just a little creativity in scoring and cutting allows you to easily create this unique box. The size of the box is a 3 1/2" cube, and it will fit many gifts. I am using it for the comfy socks with festive nail polish, but a specially made or selected Christmas ornament would fit, too.Visit RejoiceAndCreate.com for more information and a template.rejoiceandcreate.com/2020/12/05/flare-top-gift-boxUntil we meet again, may your days be blessed!

Fold-Flat Gift Bags-Great Size for Goodies and Gifts-Use your Stash-Easy Origami Rejoice and Create 2020-11-21 | Fold Flat Gift Bags Galore from 12" by 6" patterned paper, done in origami style to fold flat. This is not my original idea, it is an easy origami fold. Or, should I say, a scoreboard assisted origami fold. Actually, I cut a 1/2" strip off, and used it on some of the bags as a handle, so the actual paper was 11 1/2" by 6" to create the bag. These go pretty quickly, will store flat, and are 3 1/2" wide, by 2" deep, by 4 3/4" tall, so there is A LOT you can fit into them, from goodies to gifts! I created several fall themed bags for our Thanksgiving table, and to give to others in my friend circle. But, with the rest of my fall themed papers, AND whatever is left of my Christmas & Winter themed papers, I am creating these to have and give out en masse! A little note, and a teabag and cookie, and many are going to a local nursing home. But, I am sure you can think of other ways to use them!

#CCAY 2020 My Christmas Cards and How I Send Them Rejoice and Create 2020-10-31 | It is the last Saturday, which means it is time for Christmas Crafting All Year! This month I have been working on my Christmas Cards. The cards we send always reflect the true meaning of Christmas, The Nativity of Our Lord. I created simple cards for my family and friends, and knowing they have to be mailed, they created without a lot of dimension. I like the send a Christmas note, and 8 1/2" by 11" one-sided patterned paper is great to write a note. I create a general hello on my computer, then send the paper through and print it on the white side, making sure to leave room to hand-write a personal message.I also like to include an updated picture of our family, especially when we have not had the chance to travel to see family. So, I package all of these together in a cute pocket that I created using card stock and paper from my stash. I found some patterned Christmas paper, and matched some 12x12 card stock to it, and then created some fun pockets to hold all of my greetings, and fit in a 6"x9" envelope, which is the largest size you can send with a first class postage stamp. That is, as long as it is not thicker than 1/4", and not rigid.Visit RejoiceAndCreate.com for more information:Visit KitchenTableStamper for this card pattern:Until we meet again, may your days be blessed!

#CCAY2020 Advent Calendar Candle & Wreath or Christmas Countdown Chimney Rejoice and Create 2020-08-29 | Here is this year's Advent Calendar & "Wreath", or Christmas Countdown Chimney, or Christmas Countdown Townhouse! It is a fun, and compact, way to give a "countdown" activity to someone special. The outside makes a nice decoration, or Advent Wreath. Inside, there are 24 boxes that are 1 1/4" cubes, and a bigger, 2 5/8"x 2 5/8"x 2" box for God's Greatest Gift: Baby Jesus for the Nativity. The countdown box is from a 12x12, the lid is from a 7x7, and there are two smaller squares for stability at the base. Each daily, countdown box is from 5 1/2" by 3", so you can make two from a 6x6, or eight from a 12x12. The box for Christmas Day is from a 5 1/2" by 11".This is a labor of love, but because the little boxes feature a "four flap" closure, it can be used again in years to come.

Goldfish Cracker Treat Holder for Kids or Coworker Encouragement Rejoice and Create 2020-08-15 | Here is quick treat holder for Goldfish crackers in single serving packs. It would be fun for kids favors, coworker RAKs, or just some encouragement to share.I used a 4 1/2" by 12" piece of card stock, and was able to get two per 12x12. If you go narrower, the corners of the package stick out, and it bothered me. If it does not both you, try 4" width, and then you can get three per 12x12. The stamp sets I used for the encouragement were: SweetNSassyStamps.com "Be encouraged 2" (both 1 and 2 are great sets) and a retired SU Hostess set: "Make A Splash". But, you could always use your computer to print up a sentiment the size and style you would like, then print on card stock if you are making a bunch at once.After I finished, I thought of hand drawing one or more Christian Fish on a 2 3/4" circle, with the sentiment "Duc in Altum", (Cast out into the deep), what Our Lord told Peter to do, that resulted in an overwhelming catch. I think I will use that when our bible classes start back up. For more information, please visit RejoiceAndCreate.com:Until we meet again, may your days be blessed! Do not fear. Smiles, Darby

Anyone can join on Youtube and Instagram by tagging their Christmas projects with #CCAY2020 and uploading/posting the last Saturday of the month.With visions of paper card bases from Amber at LyricLoverCrafts and Meg Loven at LovenStamps, and thoughts of card flaps from a splitcoaststamper tutorial by Dee Slater all swirling in my head, a fun project was created! This is a great way to make paper based cards from your 12x12 (or 6x12) papers, create a cute pocket for gift cards/prayer cards/wallet pictures/money/magnets/encouragement cards/etc. and create them for any occasion! Although, because this is the last Saturday, mine are done in a Christmas theme. I will be making many of these from my other pads, and including some encouragement or a prayer card, and sending them to the local nursing homes. We are a community, and our seniors are feeling the loneliness of isolation, when even their relative can't visit. We need to send them a paper hug and lifeline.I used one-sided paper for two of these, which has a white interior, and for the third used a double-sided paper, to which I added a white mat to the inside to stamp/write my greeting.I hope you enjoy this project and give it a try!

Teeny Treat Bag with Decorated Dollar Tree Label Clip Rejoice and Create 2020-05-22 | Here is a quick and adorable teeny treat bag that was created to fit a chalkboard label clip from Dollar Tree.

Then, I just punched and stamped some sentiments, and embellished with punchies from my scrap bin or extra embellishments. Have fun! If you don't have these labels, just punch a 2" by 1 1/4" ish shape from card stock, embellish that, and then attach to any clip you may have. Or, just staple to a filled treat bag.Visit RejoiceAndCreate.com for more information:rejoiceandcreate.com/2020/05/22/teeny-treat-bag-with-decorated-dollar-tree-label-clipThank you for watching!

Quick & Easy Treat Favors from Pre-made A2 Card Bases Great for Mothers Day Rejoice and Create 2020-05-09 | Here are some quick tent-style favors from pre-made card bases that are 4 1/4" by 5 1/2" (opened 5 1/2" by 8 1/2") They are easy to make with a scoreboard and a 1” circle punch. The addition of a scalloped circle or flower punch that is around 1 3/4" with a solid center will make it quick, but you can make these without any additional punches. Note that some card bases are more flimsy than others, and the stiffer ones will hold the candies better, but even the other ones can make fun favors, you just may need to place a glue dot to hold the candy to the bottom and back of the favor tent. Also, you don't have to punch a hole in the front, I just liked the look of the candy popping out the front where the flower center would be. But, you can just decorate the front however you liked, and then put candy inside, and glue dot it to the bottom: three hershey's kisses, two hershey's nuggets, a small candy bar like the mini kitkats or twix, even a standard pack of gum would work.This is a fun way to use the card bases and scraps, and I am sure you can think of many ways to use these favors, but I am thinking of Mother's day dinner, or RAKs that I hand out to those folks working very hard at this time.Visit RejoiceAndCreate.com: rejoiceandcreate.com/2020/05/09/easy-treat-favors-from-pre-made-a2-card-basesI hope you enjoy this project, and until we meet again, may your days be blessed!Smiles, Darby
Mother’s Day Treat Holder or Gift Box from the Dollar Tree-Teachers too!

#CCAY2020 Reindeer Treat Box from Dollar Tree Magnetic Container Rejoice and Create 2020-04-25 | This is the last Saturday of the month, so it is time for a Christmas project! I know many of us are still staying at home, but Dollar Tree is considered an essential business, so if you can get out, you may be able to get a few of these plastic, magnetic containers. They come in a few colors, are about 3 3/4" diameter, and fit five Lindt truffles or similar-sized candy. I wrapped the container with a 3/4" by 12" strip of patterned paper, and because I was creating a hanging version, I mounted that strip on a card stop strip for strength. Then, two more 3/4" by 12" pieces of paper made the antlers, because in the reindeer world, both the males and females have antlers. I hope you enjoy this fun and sweet Christmas Craft, and remember to search for all of the Christmas videos using #CCAY2020. And, a big THANK YOU to Paulette Fullard and Lisa from happycrafter for inspiring us to craft Christmas all year!!Visit RejoiceAndCreate.com for more information. dollartree.com/jot-magnetic-round-metal-containers-375-in/196722Until we meet again, may your days be blessed!

Front Pocket Top Fold Tea Bag Card Rejoice and Create 2020-04-10 | Here is a fun way to give an encouraging card with a tea bag. The top-fold card has a mat that forms a pocket, which is great for a tea bag. If you keep the embellishments flat, you can put this into an A2 envelope, and mail it with first class postage in the US. If you add a bit more embellishments, you may need to add an extra stamp. But, it is a nice way to reach out and remember someone who may be feeling alone, ill or anxious, during this stay-at-home time. You can use a label style punch with straight edges top and bottom, or trace and cut an opening for the tea bag, either way, it makes a fun and unusual card.Visit RejoiceAndCreate.com for more information.rejoiceandcreate.com/2020/04/09/1899Until we meet again, may your days be blessed!

I have had fun seeing wonderful Christmas crafting projects, and anyone can join in just by using the #CCAY2020.This folder has been around for a bit, I first saw the video by Mary at Cardz TV with Mary.I tweaked mine just a bit, because I don't always punch holes very well, and wanted to make sure I did not puncture the hot cocoa pouch. Instead, I used double-sided tape to keep the top end tight, and then put my hot cocoa pouch in with two glue dots. I also have a version that has a loop for hanging over a doorknob or drawer pull.These make great co-worker & teacher gifts, and also fun for stocking stuffers!It is also a fun way to use Christmas papers left over from previous years.

Easy pockets from Leftover Card Bases, Nesting Dies and Scraps -Quick! Rejoice and Create 2020-02-24 | Today's project uses left-over card bases, oval and circle nesting dies, and scraps from your scrap bin to create whimsical, colorful pockets for gift cards, seed packets, tea or coffee or flattish candy treats. I needed a quick pocket to give some seed packets, and had a couple of card bases sitting on my craft table next to the stitched nesting dies from Stampin' Up!. So, I just grabbed some scraps from my scrap bin, cut out a bunch of different shapes, and made a pocket with the card bases, both portrait and landscape. It was rather fun, so I grabbed some more card bases from my stash, ones where the color or pattern was not one I would use, and turned them "inside out" to make the pockets. I punched a small, decorative reveal in the top-center of the front, then glued them together to form the pocket.Yes, you can use other supplies to create these pockets, but what a fun way to use up left-over card bases, scraps from your bins, and your nesting dies.Visit RejoiceAndCreate.com for more information, and the punch-art templates.Until we meet again, may your days be blessed!

Heart Die Pocket Tea Bag or Treat Holder for Valentines, RAKs & more! Rejoice and Create 2020-01-11 | The heart dies make this easy, but you could also cut and trace a heart "window pocket" to hold a treat or tea bag. Great for Valentine's Day or just RAKs, these come together pretty quickly from a piece of patterned paper (heavier) or card stock that is 8 1/2" by 4". Or, adjust your size to accommodate your treat or tea bag.I use a beautiful stamp set from Divinity Designs (divinitydesignsllc.com) and two sets of nesting heart dies, one is scalloped, to create this quick project. Both are Umbrella Dies that I purchased from Scrapbook.com. If you don't have a heart die, just create a heart the size you need for your treat, and use it as a template to trace and cut. It takes a little longer, but is still pretty doable!I hope you enjoy this project and give it a try, and until we meet again, may your days be blessed! Smiles, Darby
