Video ~ National Papercrafting Month Cloud Nine Cardmaking Kit ~ Look At How Adorable This Kit Is!

I thought today I would share a video that Close To My Heart put on youtube called "National Papercrafting Month Cloud Nine Cardmaking Kit".  I thought I would share this video because they show you an up-close look at the new kit that is available tomorrow...and a sneak peek at a few new products too! So, take a few minutes and check out the video!

National Papercrafting Month Is Coming Soon! We Have A Cardmaking Kit ~ Cloud Nine!

Close To My Heart is having a super fun special starting on Wednesday and going until the end of January 2014...since it's National Papercrafting Month coming up. They put together a really cute cardmaking kit called "Cloud Nine". I think you are really going to love it!

 

So, check out this flyer for all the details! It's available starting January 1st...and remember, we always have a Stamp Of The Month...which, if you add a little more to your order you can get it at the discounted rate (I'm all about the deals! Love them!). Ps. I started putting my kit together...it's pretty easy to do and once I finish I'll share the cards with you!

Who Wouldn't Like Warm Winter Wishes?

I hope everyone had a few days off to enjoy their family (Merry Christmas to those who celebrate Christmas). I thought I'd share one more gift idea. I know it's past the holidays but this idea can be used for any theme gift that you might need. You can change the stamp set to fit the theme. I filled the container with cookies that I baked and a few peppermints to give it a holiday feel. It's just a little something to show I appreciate the person I gave the gift to. I think it came out cute.

Holiday Gift Idea ~ Beautiful Necklace Charms

I thought today I'd share the necklace charms I made for a bunch of my holiday gifts. I thought you guys might be interested in how I made them since I've had a few people ask me already. I used metal washers (from Home Depot). I used a black Sharpie on the rim (you could leave that off if you're ok with the silver washer side showing). I cut the paper to fit the circle (I hand cut because I was too lazy to pull out my Cricut and try to figure out the sizes). Then I used liquid glass (Z679) on both sides (you need to make sure it's 100% dry on one side before you do the other or it won't come out good). Once it was completely dry on both sides I put the string on (got that at the local craft store). Then I put them on the little card you get from inside the Polar Pals Card Kit (X8627) and used those cards as the holiday card to go with the gift. :)

Ps. As a side note: I saw one of the people that my daughter gave them to yesterday (they were for school teachers as their holiday gift) and she already had her's on and in the pouring rain just had to tell how much she loved it. Made my day (even getting totally wet).  

 

 

The top picture was the front side and the bottom picture was the back side. I made them 2 different designs so they could change them up once in a while.

Holiday Candy Gift Ideas ~ Look At How Cute These Are!

I thought today I'd share a few holiday gifts I made...I'm still working on another project (necklace charms) which I'll try to share on Friday. These are for my daughter's guy teachers. They are boxes of chocolate that I made a cute cover for. I used a stamp set "Wintry Wishes" (C1560) that you can only buy with hostess credits. So if you like the set and want to get it you need to hold a party (only good until January 31, 2014...after that this set will not be available even with the earned rewards).

I also made some cute tags with this set. I filled treat tubes (Z1823) with snowcap candy and added a little red shimmer trim tape (Z1848). These are for the guys that keep my daughter's school and my son's school nice and clean. Gotta take care of them too during the holidays. I like to tell everyone at their schools that I appreciate them. Just a little something to say "Thank You! Have a great holiday!"

Ps. The little pieces of yellow paper is covering up their name...if you are wondering. :)

Great Winter Time Cards!

I thought I'd share a few more ideas today on what you can make using the "Frosted" Paper Pack (X7175B). The two stamp sets used are "Christmas Village" (D1554) and "Classy Doily" (B1424). What I love about these cards are that they don't have to be used as Christmas cards if you didn't want them for that...they are just great winter time cards.

Quote Book ~ A Poem To Add To Your Book ~ Gingerbread

Today I'm sharing a poem for our "Quote Books".


Gingerbread

 Gingerbread and sprinkles
with icing so sweet,
Today we baked cookies
for Santa to eat.

Or maybe use it to go with some homemade cookies to give as a gift.  Anyway, don't forget to stop back again for more quotes or poems next week. Hope you enjoy this poem!  (Ps.
