Happy New Year! Did you have an awesome New Years Eve? Do you have resolutions for 2026?

This year I made 8 different gifts for my friends and coworkers for 8 days leading up to Christmas. I’m giving you a little samping of 3 of them. Above are chocolate nuggets wrapped in Christmas patterned papers and tucked in cellophane. Aren’t these just the cutest? For my dear friend who has cancer I made the 25 days of Christmas to cheer up her Christmas season.

Here are some of my bookmarks that I made using the gelliplate for my backgrounds.

Who doesn’t need a cutely wrapped nail file? I tried to buy Christmas nail files but the shipment didn’t arrive to me so I reordered standard ones. The presentation is so pretty.
I’m already planning out next year’s Advent gifts and if you have any suggestions I’d love to hear about them.
As always, enjoy your paper crafting and please share your projects with me. I enjoy seeing what other creative minds come up with and am frequently inspired by them.
Happy Stampin’





I’m sure all of the recipients squealed with delight! These are adorable, Bethie! You rock, my friend!
Beautiful presentations on your gifts and the bookmarks are beautiful, great job using your backgrounds!
