Here is the project I made this month:

This little bag is made from two tags cut out using Art Philosophy [Tag3], Page 50, set on 5".  The inside is 4 3/4" x 3 1/8" scored at 1" from each edge to produce a box.  Both tags were embossed with holiday ornaments folder and ink was sponged on the design and a little coloring was applied with markers to highlight the ornaments.  The tags were then scored at 2" from the bottom and then glued together to have two sides and a 2" base.   The box was affixed in the middle.

The black base is also from Art Philosophy [Oval5], Page 62, and the white tag is "[Shape1], page 26.

Here is a side view:

And the inside with the hugs and kisses revealed:

This little goodie is light enough to affix a ribbon under the bling brad to hang this treat in the holiday tree.  I chose to add a double tied ribbon beside the brad on this one!

Here is the card I made this month:

The base for the wreath on the pole is the shaving cream technique using gypsy and whisper.  I then used the light string to create the wreath of lights and the half circle of lines to create greenage around the wreath.  Add the blings to the wreath and lights and the cards has the sparkle and shine!

Here is a detail of the wreath:

This month I have a card and project .

Here is the card:

For the card I used the new Artbooking Cricut font to create the ornaments background from dark silver glitter paper (background is inside of the card).  The ornament in the cutout is a dimensional element which was stamped with Ruby ink.  Added the bling to the ornamental spinner and stamped a simple JOY in Ruby on the front.

Here is the card opened up.

And my project is a goodie cone, made with one sheet of paper and a scallop overlay.  I used the Artbooking font to create the wintery scallops in Cranberry.  This was glued over Pear & Partridge paper.  The paper was rolled into a goodie cone and a bling brad was placed at the upper edge of the cone along with a greeting card. 

A bird was stamped in Ruby and added to the card along with the Warm Wishes statement inside.

The second card I also applied sweeps of color to white cardstock and then stamped the winter sayings over the color sweeps.  I then cut down the saying and placed it on top of the background label cut using the Cricut Artiste Font.

The Tag is stamped with chocolates (three in a stamp), in different colors.  They were then iced with stardust Glitz Glitter Gel.  The tag becomes the base for my latest obsession - origami folded boxes.  The box is made from less than one sheet of the new Huntington paper pack and topped with metal rimmed sparkle.

The detail:

Three by three box is perfect for four small turtle chocolates from Skinny Cow (there are six to a package so four to give away and two to eat :)
