Wrapping Up December

It's less than two weeks until Christmas, are you ready? Hopefully you have had time to make some beautiful handmade cards and gifts for your family and friends. When you make something beautiful for someone, your love shines through! 

Projects that shine help make the holiday festive, so I have put together some of my recent projects to give you a little shiny inspiration in case you need to make just one more card, or tag, or . . . 

Here are some projects to inspire you for any last minute crafting you have to get done!

If you get your scrap book pages set up now, staying on top of your holiday photos will be a snap! I used the fantastic Merry Little Christmas DSP along with the Year of Cheer Specialty Designer Series Paper and the Large Letter with black and Silver Foil for this . The Seasonal Layers Thinlits snowflakes in gold, silver and champagne foil make perfect accents. I have space for journalling and photos, I'm ready to go!

I haven't had the Large Letter Framelits for long, but I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE them! Cards, scrapbook pages and for so much more, they are fantastic. The eclipse technique is hot right now, and I love the way these letters look against the Woodland TIEF background.

This Little Piggy certainly is feeling festive, and such fun to make! I used the Paisley Framelits to make his hat, and had fun colouring him with the Watercolour Pencils.

Don't forget the decorating! This wine tag tells your friends exactly what to do - Eat, Drink and be Merry! Skip the wine bag and personalize your wine gift giving this year. The Special Delivery also makes a great wine tag, and can then be hung on the tree to share the festive spirit all season. Both projects include lots of sparkle to make everything merry and bright.

Do you know someone with a December birthday? They don't want a Christmas birthday card!!  Here is a fancy fold that is sure to help them celebrate their own special day. It's hard to see in the photo, but I painted the cats with Wink of Stella for some extra Birthday Bling!

I had to add one more cat peeking around the corner for one last birthday wish!

I hope these projects have given you some inspiration to finish your holiday stamping, making everything festive and filled with your personal touch of love.

Happy Stamping Hugs,
