December Kit Sneak - Ornament by Erika

I'm head over heels in love with the December Kit of the Month. It is filled with some of my favorite Creative Charms Treasures and I wanted to share with you an ornament I created using a few of these treasures.

Hi Everyone! Erika Taylor here today to share with you a glass ornament I altered, using a few pieces from the December Kit of the Month. I'm loving these Seasonal Sparkle Stickers that are in the kit. They pair up perfectly with the pretty butterflies.

So here you are, a few photos of the ornament.  I hope you like it.

For the inside of the ornament, I used ivory acrylic paint, Helmar Premium Craft Glue and blue glitter. Love how it turned out. Almost looks like a little snow storm in there.

 This next picture really showcases the beautiful blue colors of the embellishments against the ornament itself.

Well that is it for me today. I hope you all have a safe and happy Holiday Season. May the light shine brightly for you and your loved ones

Until next time
Seasons Greetings

Be Jolly

Hi there, Joanna Bandelin from Scrap-Making here. I'm so excited we are finally just days away from Christmas! I love this time of year and so I decided to make one last holiday card for someone special.

The pieces of embellishments I used on my snowman are sneak peeks of the December Kit of the Month. This kit has tons of goodies for winter! I especially LOVE the large snowflakes.

You can also get the bling sperately in the Seasonal Sparkles Stickers - Winter Words & Bling. 

I hope you like it! Happy Holidays!

Christmas Tags & Gift Box

Hi everyone, Amy McCabe here. I made a Matchbox with Tags as a gift for a crafty friend. The Creative Charms embellishments were the perfect touch and I used quite a few different ones on my tags.

Here is my box - it is a matchbox style. The poinsettia is embellished with Gradient Pearls. The box is from SVG Cuts Crisp Days of Fall Kit.

The box slides open and inside I have three tags perfect for Christmas gifts.

The first tag is my Santa Tag. I used Gradient Gems to accent the Santa image. Santa paper and background paper is from BoBunny.

The second tag is my Red & Green Tag. The Vintage Jewel Brads were a perfect fit for this tag. I did some embossing of the AC Cardstock.

Last but not least is my Snowman Tag. I used the Vintage Christmas Self-Adhesive Metal Frames for this one.
I cut the snowman along with all the other images on my Cricut using SCAL.
The snowman is actually a freebie from SVG Cuts.

These were so fun to put together - I think I may put together a bunch more as little gifts for crafty friends!

A Vintage Noel Card

What can I say, I'm a Timmy fan and his 12 tags of Christmas always gets my attention. So when that first tag came out, I had the little baubles to create it with. Hi everyone, Erika Taylor here today to share with you my take on Tag 1 this year.

For this card I used a small canvas banner and first sprayed it with Vanilla Breeze Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist. Before it was completely dry, I stamped the banner with a postage stamp I have. The ink ran to really give a vintage feel. LOVE IT!!! Pretty Pretty Pretty I say

I love how easy it is to fold and manipulate these canvas pieces. To create the dimension, I used Helmar Liquid Scrap Dots. This helped lift the folds to give them that height I was looking for.

Isn't the color of that banner sweet? Against all that cool winter colors, it really gives the card a POP. Now take a look at those beautiful silver flower embellishments. The so reminded me of pointsettias, so out they came. They are from Creative Charms and went perfectly on this card. In the Antique Flower Medley pack, there are both gold and silver flowers. YUMMO!!!

One more picture hehe, showing the flower a little closer. You can also see the Glimmer Mist on the foliage too.

The perfect additions to any Vintage card I'm positive. These Vintage Flower Medleys are so pretty to work with and I love how the end result always blows my mind.

Thanks so much for stopping by  today. Let me know what you think. I adore your comments here on the blog, so don't be shy!!!

Until Next Time

Hi there! Joanna Bandelin here from Scrap-Making.

Today I wanted to share a fun festive holiday card perfect to give to someone special during this time of year.

I used my favorite die-cutting machine (my Cricut) to cut the reindeer silhouette out and added some bright red Gradient Gems Stickers to add some bling. Then I added the big bloom from the White Flared Flower Medley and a little Red Pure Blossom flower to the center using a glue dot. To finish off my card I added the Peace sticker from the Christmas Multi-Dimentsional Twinkle stickers.

Simple and easy and cute...my 3 favorite things these days! lol..

Happy Holidays! :)

As usual, I had so many goodies in my kit that I couldn't use them all on one project. Here's one of my favorites I'd like to share with you...

I absolutely love the scalloped ribbon in this kit. I really wish I had ordered more, because I could use it on every card I make. I also love the vintage brads as you can see.  I happily discovered that the brad tongs are perfectly sized and spaced apart to thread into button holes, so it was quite easy to anchor them in the button without creating any bulky back bumps or holes in my paper. Ahhh, perfect!
