I love the simplicity of this card and the message of Peach on Earth from the Carols of Christmas Stamp Set. I made the one with the white card base first then thought it might look a little richer with a Cherry Cobbler card base. I like them both – it would be difficult to choose one over the other.

Embossing Paste Technique # 1 ~ Glitter video tutorial
When the 2017 – 2018 Annual Catalog was launched in June there was a new product tucked away on Page 201 ~ Embossing Paste! It was on my first order and I was so excited when it arrived, however I was also excited about the other goodies that arrived in the same box! I set aside the pot of paste and to be honest it went from my mind – especially as Christmas themes started.
I was tidying my workbench (it happens….. rarely but it does happen!) and there was the pot of Embossing Paste waiting patiently for my attention. What fun I have had with this product, as I explored what could be done with it I thought a few video’s would be fun to share.
Today’s technique includes lashings of Dazzling Diamonds Glitter!

Season of Cheer Ferrero Treat Box ~ Video Tutorial
I have said on many occasions that I love to make 3D items and what can be better than a 3D with chocolate! I chose to make them in classic Black and White then used the Year of Cheer Designer Series Paper which allowed me to bring in some gold and silver.
This would be perfect for your Christmas tablescape but change up the colors and you can have a treat holder for birthdays, wedding, showers, baby – just about any celebration you can think of. Continue reading
