Stamp to the MAX Holiday Blog Hop - December

Hello All ! 

I hope that you and yours had a lovely Thanksgiving! Ours was too quiet for my taste and I made waaaay too much food - but it was still nice.

Thank you for visiting the next stop on the hop! You have just come from the blog of the amazing Martha Haddock. I always like her style! This month we were tasked with making a holiday themed gift. Mine is a decoration and I love it so much, I am gifting it to me! :)





This took me some time but was really quite easy. I used my favorite Christmas DSP and the Blossom Petals Builder Punch. I curled the edges with a pen and used a lot of sticky strip! Toward the top - the petals were to big to leave the same size so I hand cut them down. I used a glue pen to hit the petals a bit and poured the glitter on. Of course after I did this, I realized that the Dazzling Details might have been easier! Unfortunately the glitter doesn't show well on the camera.

Supplies used are all Stampin' Up! unless noted. 
  • 12" Chip Board Cone - Not SU
  • Candlelight Christmas Specialty Designer Series Paper
  • Sticky Strip
  • Blossom Petals Builder Punch
  • 3 1/2" Scallopped Tulle Ribbon in Cherry Cobbler
  • Two-Way Glue Pen
  • Dazzling Details Glitter

Please continue on our December Blog Hop to the next stop of Stephanie Bradley! You are sure to be inspired!
