Are you finished with all your holiday preparations and now feeling the holiday spirit? Or maybe it’s a little bit more of a feeling of holiday stress?

Things have been pretty busy here this week preparing for my Annual Holiday Extravaganza Class & All-day Crop. Add in the stress of wondering if our city & neighborhood would be one that would be impacted by PG&E’s Power Shutoff and it feels as though I’m scrambling to get things done (& hope they don’t become undone–like food purchased for Saturday’s event going bad if the power is shut off!)

I love Close To My Heart’s *NEW* Dandelion Wishes Stamp Set. I previously shared another card that I had created with this fun set HERE.
As promised, here is another great Graduation Card idea. I’ve always loved this Teacher Appreciation Stamp Set–this owl is just too cute! Unfortunately, this particular set has been discontinued. But that doesn’t mean you can’t use this card design to create another stunning card yourself!
‘Tis the season! Black Friday advertisements have already begun. Early Black Friday deals are even being offered. Holiday shopping is definitely upon us.
Have you ever made your wrapping for your holiday gifts? From simple boxes to darling totes, creating your own holiday wrapping can be easier than you might think (especially if you own a Cricut machine!)
CTMH Cricut Flower Market Collection
This Poinsettia Tote came together quick and easy using my Cricut machine and CTMH’s exclusive Cricut Collections. Here’s my tip for creating beautiful dimension to your poinsettias (found on the Cricut Flower Market)–use a Bone Folder to slightly curl back the petals. It adds a nice pop of dimension with very little effort.
Another fun tip is that you can color our *NEW* White Pearls. Yep, I simply took our Marigold ShinHan Marker and colored a pearl for the center of my poinsettia. How fun is that?!? You can customize and coordinate with any color scheme your project needs.
My sentiment is from the Silver & Gold Cardmaking Stamp Set. I stamped it in New England Ivy ink.
As you can see from the light blue outlines around the ornament images, this stamp set has a coordinating die set.

It’s finally arrived! Close To My Heart’s holiday collection is here! The *NEW* Holiday Expressions Catalog is full of crafty goodness for Halloween, Thanksgiving, Fall, Christmas and more.
I made this fun Santa Circle Accordion Card with the *NEW* Little Saint Nick Stamp and the *NEW* Ho, Ho, Ho Stamp.
I kept mainly to 3 colors with this card–Ruby, Black and White Daisy.
I did add in some additional colors with my ShinHan Markers: Carmine and Lavender blended together for Santa’s hat to match the Ruby color of the cardstock. Plus, Barely Beige and Tender Pink for his cheeks.
And my final touches were adding a large White Dot to the tip of his hat (from the Black & White Dots) and one of my favorite products–the Clear Shimmer Brush to the trim of his hat for some shine and sparkle!
