Hot Chocolate and Friends
Yes, hot chocolate is always better when shared with friends. I found this yummy hot chocolate at Costco this weekend and knew I could make something fun with it. So, I created a band from some patterned paper, added a border punched edge from some solid cardstock and wrapped it around two packages of hot chocolate. Then I used the Martha Stewart snowflake punch, Spellbinders Labels 18 die, some ribbon and twine, a button, and a stamp from Inkadinkado to dress it up. Add one of those beautiful mugs from Mud Pie and you've got the perfect Christmas gift for a friend or secret pal.

Hero Arts and Perfect Pearl Mists
I saw this technique a few months back and thought I'd try it with the Perfect Pearl Mists instead of water. Here's the results and the instructions to recreate this card.
Supplies used (shown): Stickles- burgundy, Distress Ink- Crushed Olive and Forest Moss, Perfect Pearls Mist- Perfect Pearl, Hero Arts Cling Stamp- Pinecone Wreath
Additional Supplies Used (Not Shown): Stickles- stardust, Lifestyle Crafts "JOY" die and silver cardstock for cutting the letters, white cardstock measuring 4"x5.25", burgundy cardstock measuring 8.5"x 5.5" and scored at 4.25" on the 8.5" side, and burgundy silk ribbon.
"Smoosh" both inks on your non stick craft mat as shown above.
Spray the Perfect Pearls Mist on the ink until it looks similar to the above image.
Tap your stamp a few times onto the ink.
It should look similar to the above image.
Stamp the image onto your white cardstock. I use a smooth cardstock and apply pressure for just a few seconds longer than when I'm stamping with regular ink.
Assemble your card, add stickles, your die cut "JOY" letters and a bow!

Tim Holtz Alteration Dies
Wow!! Look what arrived on Friday. The NEW Tim Holtz Alteration Dies. Below is a preview of a few of the dies that arrived. If you've been waiting for these to create your Holiday projects, stop in and take a look at what we have. We probably will not have a chance to reorder these before Christmas, so get them before they are gone. I love the pine cone! What's your favorite?
Since we are talking about Tim Holtz, I should mention we just received another shipment of his Limited Edition Fall Distress Inks from Ranger Ink. These inks are no longer available for order. So, what does that mean? Product that is in stores now, is all that is available. If you missed your chance to pick up a set last week, you're getting a second chance. Stop in and get one before we are out. Take a look at the video below for some additional information on these wonderful inks!
