Let it GLOW!
This Christmas, I am blessed to be able to spend some time in Europe with my family, and there's nothing more inspiring than Christmastime in Europe! Thinking of all the Christmas markets, the stained glass windows, the amazing architecture all decked out in greenery and red ribbons. Christmas is such a magical time! No matter WHERE you spend Christmas, I'm sure you'll be able to be inspired by the gold glow of white lights at night or the happy pop of colored lights cheering up a cold, bare canvas of snow!
Like my facebook page & follow me on instagram for some amazing inspiration coming straight from Europe! Let me know if something I share inspires YOU!
Although this card doesn't have an image of lights, the "glow" sentiment was absolutely inspired by Christmas lights!
I started off by stamping the "glow" sentiment in Versamark on a Whisper White base. (This stamp is from a set called "Love Sparkles" in the new Occasions catalog!) I sprinkled it with clear embossing powder and used the heat embossing tool to set it. Then I used the Watercolor Wash background stamp with Blushing Bride ink. After I rubbed off the ink on the "glow" images, I softened it by using an Aqua Painter and more Blushing Bride ink.
I cut out two star images from the Star Framelits and stamped "glow" in Blushing Bride. I added a little silver doily and then used Dimensionals to pop up the stars AND secure the Blushing Bride sequin trim.
The finishing touch was the self-adhesive Metallic Enamel shapes, and then securing the white cardstock onto a Blushing Bride card base.
You could make this card in any color, and if there isn't coordinating sequin trim, just use silver or gold!

Tin of Tags
My family has a tradition of hosting a white elephant gift exchange that is the HIT of the year! There are always some FAVORITE items that get stolen the maximum number of times. It's usually a bottle of soda or a box of candy or snacks. Then there are always the items that evoke the ??? face. They add just as much to the party! Either way, what MAKES a present is the wrapping and the TAG! Order this Tin of Tags Kit and add that finishing touch to those beautiful presents under the tree!

Stay home & craft instead!
Black Friday. I think it started out just as a phrase to indicate the day when retail stores were indeed in the black - making money. It has turned into utter chaos! The fact that my sister can't even attend Thanksgiving dinner because she has to set up for shoppers to come in at 6:00 ON THANKSGIVING is RIDICULOUS. Yes, I admit to having been part of the madness at one point. I was pregnant with my firstborn and he revolted from the start. I believe it was the first time I actually had morning SICKNESS while pregnant. That was the last time I ever got up at zero dark thirty to get a good deal. That is why the internet was invented people! That and so you can stay home in your jammies and make fun things instead! Grab your stash of paper and enjoy this fun, quick & easy tutorial! 4 gifts out of ONE piece of 12x12 paper! You're welcome.
FYI, I really did TRY to make a printable template, but it was much easier to make a video. The measurements for cutting are: 3 1" strips from the bottom (cut 3" off each), then 4" for each gift card (there will be 3).
Scoring measurements: bottom of gift card holder 4 1/2", 3 1/4". 2" then flip it around and score at 1 3/4"
Let me know if you have any questions! Things always make sense in my head...not so much when I say them out loud. haha!

Red Hot Product Review: Cheerful Tags Framelit Dies
I hope you will be celebrating Thanksgiving with family and friends tomorrow! We are blessed to have had my sister and her husband move here to Houston from Hawaii this year. (I know. What were they thinking?!) We celebrated an early Thanksgiving dinner with them on Sunday because she works retail and will be working Thanksgiving Day. Don't worry, we will have our traditional dinner tomorrow as well. When we moved here 10 years ago, we found out that my mother-in-law's cousin lives nearby, and we have celebrated holidays with them ever since! (As long as we were all in town!) She is such a gracious host and we are so thankful that they have welcomed us with open arms! The last thing I would want to do is show up for dinner with empty arms, so I'll bring my famous sweet potato soufflé and a handmade gift. It's really the least I could do!
One of my favorite lines of Stampin' Up! products for packaging gifts are the awesome die-cuts! There are always so many extra pieces included to add dimension and detail! Watch this video to see how many fun pieces you get in the Cheerful Tags set! Then go ahead and order it (on sale until November 28th, or buy it in the bundle with the coordinating stamp set and get 10% off!) then get all your Christmas host & hostess gifts ready so you're never left empty-handed!
