Ahhh… the holidays are here!  It seems to sneak up so quick, but this year I'm ready and excited (well, not ready as in decorated and shopped… just looking forward for the family/friends/festive spirit…)!

This month's projects are not holiday… but fresh and ready for the new year.  They are great to have on hand for those misc. occasions where you wish you had a card to bring/give. 

Bzzzz  Bee Card

I love this card!  I can't wait to see what you do with it.  I like to watch stampers alter the layout and make it theirs..

Ahhh… nice, huh?  This project was done at one of Denise's events last year. I love it! 

Do you know what heat n' stick powder is?  We will be using it this month on the flower.  The flower steps are:

1. stamp flower(s) in any color ink

2. cut out flower(s) – whining is not allowed!

3. coat the pretty stamped side of the flower in versa mark (clear sticky ink)

4. immediately stick in heat n' stick powder (it looks like embossing powder)

5. using heat tool, melt powder until it's shiny

Guess what???  it's sticky like an all over adhesive

6. toss into glitter

YUM!  Gotta luv da BLING!

Ut Oh – If you want a pearl or rhinestone on your top mini flower, stick it on there after you heat the heat n' stick powder but before the glitter.  You can stick the pearl/rhinestone to the flower after you glitter it, but it might not stick super good… the glitter might be loose and the embellishment might fall off.  Also, before you stick your flower layers together using dimensionals, kinda brush surface glitter off the area you will attach the dimensional.
