Cheers to creating gifts from the heart this holiday season!

For my first project I made a Christmas Ornament with a Globecraft Memories Christmas Ornament Kit. They are super easy to use!! To cover the outside of the ornament I used patterned paper with the Mono Adhesive Power Bond and I used a craft knife to cut the excess paper. Inside of the ornament placed this stamp that I colored with Tombow Dual Brush Pens.  For the little bow I used Maraschino and Peapod  Twine from the Twinery.

I got caught up in making the ornament and I forgot that I used glitter glue for the hat and the gloves. I poured the glitter inside the ornament and closed it and then I remember that I used a mix of Clearsnap Winter Frost and Sand Dollar from Art Glitter for the fake snow on the floor but it worked out way better because it looks way cuter!!

For my second project I altered a Clearsnap tin. I used Hampton Arts Christmas Stamps to make a simple stamp collage on this small tag. I just layered some papers, did some machine sewing and doodling to decorate the tin. I used the Mono Adhesive Power Bond for gluing the papers.

Here is close up of these amazing stamps!!

I hope you are enjoying this hop!!

Your next stop is Authentique Paper!!

Happy Hopping!
