Stamp-A-Stack for Christmas... Card 4

I'm so excited to be heading for the Forsyth Library today for a big holiday cards class.  This will be a fun day.  Before I take off, I want to share another card from my Christmas Stamp-A-Stack class.  This card has some very subtle and very gorgeous shimmer to it, as well as the silver glimmer.
The texture comes from an extra tone-on-tone layer of Always Artichoke, embossed with tiny polka dots.  The subtle shimmer comes from stamping the tree on Shimmery White CS and the silver glimmer is from our Glimmer Paper.  I think I've gone through about 5 or 6 packs of it this week.  Expect to see a lot of gorgeous silver glimmer in the near future:)  I also added two strips of our gorgeous silver ribbon.
Come back to see a closer look at the snowman card and then I'll be moving on to other projects to share with you.  Have a great day!

Wrap It Up, Part 4

In today's post, I want to share some boxes and bags... for gift wrapping.  These were all made by starting with kits --- quick and easy --- and so much fun!  The long, rectangular boxes are from our big catalog and the cute little muslin bags are from our Holiday Catalog.  Here we go:

As you can see, I've also used our new Gift Bow Die for the boxes, another quick and easy way to create beautiful gift wrapping.  I've included the 2 window boxes in the photo to show you 2 ways to make the bows.  You can have 1 layer or 2 layers of loops.  I've used Liquid Tombow Adhesive to put the bows together.  You need a stronger hold on the bows, especially with the glimmer paper.

Tip:
I use little mini clamps or plastic clothespins to hold each piece together until the adhesive dries. 
I can think of all kinds of wonderful things that you could put inside all these containers.  Do you have any ideas?
Again, to make this quick and easy I used tags that were already cut.  The Pretty Presents Designer Tags come 16 in a package, so you can really do a lot of gift wrapping with them.  To bump them up a notch, I added stamped pieces that were punched out --- again, quick and easy.  I attached them with dimensionals and tied the tags onto the bag with our pretty silver ribbon.  Both stamps are from the Very Merry Tags stamp set.  This is a great set for making all kinds of fun tags for Christmas.  It's in our Holiday Catalog (p.33).
Tip:
I used a sponge dauber and inks (Cherry Cobbler, Bermuda Bay, Silver Metallic Encore Pad) to create the cute little polka dots on the bags.

Jumping Back In... my Gorgeous Winter Wreath

After the very unexpected death of my husband's sister and the events following that, it's hard to know where to begin, so I'll just jump right in and start by showing you the gorgeous Winter Wreath I made just before all these events.  I absolutely love it.  It's based on the one in our big catalog.  Of course, I had to put my own take on it, to make it truly mine.


I added lots more ribbon because I just love ribbon.  I added subtle sponging and lots of silver glimmer paper.  I also changed out the Soft Sky (used on the wreath in our big catalog) for Pool Party.  The reason I did this is so that it would coordinate with the Joy Banner we'll be making at my Christmas Retreat --- on November 16 (10:00-4:00) or November 17 (2:00-8:00).  They will look great decorating your home for Christmas.

So, what do you think?  You'd be amazed at how easy it is to make it.  We'll be making this one at my November Stamp Club on November 4.  The beauty of doing something like this in a class is that I prepare everything for you and you just show up and dig in.  You'll have a beautiful wreath for the holidays by the end of the class.  It involves a lot of materials but, by sharing them in a club, it cuts down on the expense for each person and you don't have to worry if you don't have a tool or die needed to make the project.
