Bumbleberry Blog — wow embossing powder

Hello Crafty Friends its Jo here,  popping on over from jo-annescreations@blogspot.com. Well there's less than week to go, so I thought my card this week would, sum up what its all about. Enjoying the little things, Family, Friends, Heath, being together. These are far more important than what we give or receive.  To be blessed enough to be surrounded by love ones. I always think how we are all not, as fortunate and if someone in our neighbour hood is spending alone.  I like to pop on over with a card and a box of chocolates and just wish them...

Well Hello There Crafty Friends,   Things in the craft room are rather glittery at the moment.  With just over 13 days to go until the big day.

I wanted to try and keep the tags fairly simple as you usually you need to make more than one tag. So a simple tag is simple to mass produce! The Atlenew Mini Christmas Stamp was perfect for these tags, sized just right and scream elegance when heat embossed on vellum.  Elegant Glittery Christmas Tags details: To start off, die cut a tag out of kraft cardstock. Using mod podge (or...
