Boughs of Holly

This card is a CASE of this one...when I first saw it, I knew immediately that I wanted to try my hand at it because it is simply stunning!

The ornament was made using the ornament punch through the Crumb Cake card stock. Then place a piece of the Designer Fabric behind it using plenty of Sticky Strip to hold it in place. Add a cotton ball to make the ornament "poof" through the punched ornament hole, use more sticky strip to hold the layer of card stock on behind it and viola! You have a gorgeous card! The branch is one of the trees from "Lovely as a Tree." You can't go wrong with this stamp set.

Try it--you'll be surprised how easy this card is!

Glitter Glass Ornaments

You may remember when I posted the glitter glass ornaments that I created to put on my tree last Christmas...Mine were done using a Real Red ink refiller. This year, as one of the projects in my Christmas Gift Giving class, each person made a dozen glass glitter ornaments. And the best part was that each person got to choose their own color for their ornaments! I was so excited to see how everyone's turned out, with the wide selection of colors used--they were gorgeous! Here are the different colors that were represented (plus Real Red, which I didn't photograph since I'd already done so a year ago with mine).

Pumpkin Pie:




Cherry Cobbler:




So Saffron (which I love b/c it looks gold!):




Rich Razzleberry:




Night of Navy:
