If you've just happened across my blog and would like to play along with our fun hop, you can go to Totally-Stamps and start at the beginning.
The theme of this blog hop is ROCKIN' AROUND THE CHRISTMAS TREE. Each blog has created a project. Be sure to visit each blog for inspiration and fun BOG CANDY.
I belong to a stamp group called the Ink Spots. This month a few of us are involved in a "found object" challenge which consisted of 3 little wood stars. As I was blurfing for some ideas I see a cool card and, voila! The light bulb came on! (I love it when that happens.)
I have lots of card stock and found these kraft, beige, and burgundy colors. I corrugated the beige and swiped with Bordeaux PH ink. I also stamped the snowflake from the Jingle Jolly set and the text from Tag Tidbits set, and colored the stars with the same ink.
I love how this card turned out! A little burgundy raffia and some Icicle Stickles really added to the total look.
Then I thought, what about little gift boxes? I teach at the AZ Scrapbooking store and at Green Valley Recreation (Jan,. - March) and these will be a class at each in January.
Debi, the store owner, gave us instructors some free cool card stock and I thought they'd be perfect for these.
These little boxes will hold a gift card, small jewelry, or anything fairly small. I got on a roll making these and will post some with other themes later.
I'm not be offering Blog Candy at this time as my Blogoversary is coming up in early Feb. and I have some TAC™ stamp sets to give away then. But PLEASE leave a comment or "rate" my card before going on to Kee Kee's blog, Life Is Scrap.
