Hello stampers!

I have an oldie but goodie, but first time for me to share today.  It's a cone wreath.   It was really quite easy and fun to make.  If you've never made one, pop on over to Pinterest or You Tube and check out a couple of the videos.  I used the Painted Autumn Designer Series Paper for my wreath.  And do you see the center?  Do you recognize the snowflake in the middle?  It's the reverse side of a gold snowflake pressed into a Soft Suede Classic Stampin' Pad to color it.  Up close the color is deep and rich and has a little shine to it.

And my #1 tip for making your own?  Use a hot glue gun!  On one of the videos I watched a Snail tape runner was used.  So I started that way.  By morning all my cones came apart!

Holiday Catalog Swap Share, Part 1

Hi everyone!

I know I hinted these were coming a couple of weeks ago.  And then I didn't share.  But, this week, I'm sharing!  Take a close look at these cards.  The creators worked hard on them.

Aren't they great?  Is there one that really appeals to you?  I really like each of these cards for a variety of reasons.  I hope you get some inspiration from them that you can take back to your crafting space!
