On the 9th Day...



On the 9th Day of Christmas SEI gave to you 9 paper stockings. Michelle created these pretty little stockings using the Christmas Mint paper collection. First she cut her paper using this stocking template & folded on the lines:





After cutting & folding the template, Michelle sewed around the edges. Then she added a pretty Christmas Mint ribbon, die-cut accent, and designer brad. Last, she stuffed them full of goodies!





These stockings are a great way to package a gift for friends, neighbors or teachers. You can also do what we did and hang them on a Christmas tree for a decoration.

On the 8th Day...





On the 8th Day of Christmas SEI gave to you 8 place-settings (only four pictured). Matt made these festive place-mats using Christmas Mint papers. First he made this template and cut sixteen leaves for each place setting. Then he folded them in half and strung them together using Kitty's Place Brads. Here is the leaf template he made for you:




You could even use this to compliment your centerpiece or make a layered one for your door. What plans and ideas do you have for your holiday centerpieces?
