December Blog Hop

Happy Holidays! I can't believe that it's already December. The 70 degree weather here in the Land of Oz has made it even harder to believe, but I'm not complaining. I still haven't found my gloves, so the cold can stay away just a little bit longer!

I love making holiday projects. My card is one I designed for our club meeting last month. I had told them we would do either a card or a gift card holder; at the last minute I decided to make it both! I love the versatility of the Festival of Prints Designer Series Paper stack. (Preview: there's a new stack coming out in the Spring Catalog!)
My initial card was the middle left. During the club demonstration, I made the on the middle right. The others were made by some of my club members.

Supplies used:
Card Stock: Early Espresso, Cherry Cobbler, Very Vanilla, Island Indigo, Crumb Cake
DSP: Festival of Prints
Stamp sets: Scentsational Season, Curly Cute
Ink: Early Espresso, VersaMark, Cherry Cobbler, Lucky Limeade
Tools: Big Shot, Holiday Collection Framelits, 2 3/8" Scallop Circle Punch, Stampin' Trimmer, Simply Scored, Bone Folder, Heat Tool

Inside view

My 3-D project is actually one that I made to sell. Some local crafters and I got together and opened our own Little Shop of Treasures holiday shop 2 years ago. We had a lot of fun doing this. I had found this idea from another demonstrator on our exclusive demonstrator website.
This is definitely a great way to dress up candy cane treats for the holidays.

Supplies used:
Punches: Curly Label, Word Window, Boho Blossom
Markers: Basic Black, Pumpkin Pie
Adhesive: Glue Stick
Embellishments: Metallic Brads
