Christmas Tags in a Cute Box!

December15


Make this cute box with acetate lid and tags!. Fun for any holiday! Order your supplies at my Close To My Heart site anytime day or night! I took a fun class at Papertales! You can do either type of tags in the box. Box instructions by LeeAnn here.
I also saw this idea in Lisa Stenz’s blog & Vicki Wizniuk’s blog! Thanks for the inspiration girlfriends!

Thrift store finds…an old candy jar and a candle holder make a great marriage! $2.50 invested…Use your E600 or Gorilla glue and you have an instant apothecary jar! I added my soft strawberry candies (dollar tree), some trim and an old clip on earring for some bling!

A Little Sparkle for Some Holiday Bling!

November18

I had this card in my head for a while and finally made it…hope you enjoy it…

Pine leaves from Close to my heart My Acrylix stamp setD1326 Season of Splender
Saying from
D1313 Dec Word Puzzle

The ornaments are Close To My Heart Sparkles!
The matt is Cardstock using the oval coluzzle
Use spray adhesive.

Sprinkle with prisma glitter, set it with cheap canned hairspray
You might notice I did some shading…on the right of each sparkle strand I touched the sides with a light marker or you can use your water brush-
I used a bit of rolling the colors for the pine sprigs-
then restamped them just off a bit with a lighter shade-
Just play with what works for you
