Holiday Gift Guide Blog Hop!

Close To My Heart's Holiday Gift Guide is being released and we've got some exciting products for the Holidays and even some that will carry over into the spring!  To help inspire you, 22 Consultants are sharing their artwork with some of the new products from the Holiday Gift Guide.


If you have come here from Haley Dyers Blog - The Inky Scrapper, you are on the right track!  If you are just getting started, don't worry, the hop is one big circle so when you get back to me you will have completed the hop!   If you get lost along the way, the list of hoppers can be found HERE.

I've been so busy this past week preparing for an upcoming trip so I barely had time to play before leaving.  But I did manage to create a card with the new Sparkle & Shine paper pack and some fun new accents!


I LOVE these new Sparkle Holiday Shapes (Z1910).  These holiday rhinestone shapes are adhesive backed and they are a perfect fit with the new Trim A Tree (A1149) stamp set! The Trim A Tree stamp coordinates with the Art Philosophy cricut cartridge so creating this card was very fast!  I just cut out the images on the cricut, stamped them with Juniper and Ruby ink, added the bling and I was almost done!  I finished my card one of the pearl flag pins from the Sparkle & Shine Assortment (Z1860) tied off with a piece of Grey Wool Baker's Twine from the Baker's Twine Natural Assortment (Z1701).

I love how easy it is to create when everything coordinates so well!  Be sure to check out the Holiday Gift Guide!  You can find it on my website beginning October 15th.
Items Used:
Stamp - Trim A Tree (A1149)

Sparkle Holiday Shapes (Z1910)

Sparkle & Shine Assortments (Z1860) 

Now, it is time to hop on and see what Dawn Ross at I Am A Happy Stamper has created!

Now, I want to share with a cute way to make a gift card holder!  I used the Artiste Cricut Cartridge to make this holder.  It was very simple!  The Cricut cuts the card and it folds so that you can slip a gift card inside! I set the cricut to cut at 5".  I recycled an old gift card so my card is a little thick. This size worked well.   If inserting a regular card you can use 4 3/4" measurement.  "Merry Christmas" is also cut using the Artiste Cricut Cartridge.  I set the measurement to 2".               To re
