Hi friends!! Well, we started off on Monday with Halloween projects, and we're ending on Friday with Christmas projects! Ha! There's a lot going on in my craft room lately. The next couple of months will be a mix match of every topic and every holiday! All the companies are getting ready with their Fall and Winter new product launches and it's all good! I am totally ready for a change of season, actually! I need to get the Christmas crafty bins down from the garage shelves and get (more) ready! Hope you had a wonderful week! Let's get started for today's post!
These projects from today are part of a big Instagram Hop today for Pixi Dust - so be sure to head over to Instagram and enter to win a gift certificate!!
Today's post is to celebrate the Christmas products from our friends at Pixi Dust Designs! I LOVE their mug dies!! I made the penguin and reindeer last year, (CLICK HERE to see that post!) and this year I made the sweet sweet Gingerbread couple!! EEP. I also used the Fancy Rosettes dies to decorate some candy treat cones to save for Christmas decor. I accented my projects with cute Doodlebug papers and gingham ribbons....

First up is my happy Gingerbread couple!!! These literally were the most fun thing to make! The die set makes both the boy and the girl and you can embellish them any way you like! I used traditional red and green and pink for my mugs. These are going to be gift bag decorations!! LOOOOVE!
To make the mugs, I used Kraft cardstock. I used Vintage Photo DIstress Ink to ink around the edges. Then I splattered on brown ink and white ink to make them look like gingerbread cookies! I added some pink cheeks using craft chalk...and then white gel pen accents...
I used the mug die to cut out red plaid handles for both mugs. I used Doodlebug papers to make the bows and the scalloped circle background....It's all just so happy!

I generously applied Diamond Stickles onto the whipped cream and candy canes to make it sparkle!!
You know I love to put little hearts on everything!

Next up I made some pretty candy treat cones! To make the cones, take a 12x12 paper and cut it in half diagonally... Then just roll it around and glue the seam. So simple! I used a hole punch to add holes on either side and put gingham ribbon through to hang these either on the tree or on a knob!! CUTE - and they will be even cuter filled with Christmas candy!
I used the Pixi Dust Fancy Rosettes to make the red and pink rosettes that decorate the cones. These dies are really easy to use and have pretty and unique edges...
I decorated with stickers from the Doodlebug collection. I added a cute candy cane made with the addons in the Reindeer Mug die set!
