Christmas Inspiration from the Past: Globe Snowman Card

Over the years I've made so many Christmas projects for my classes and for friends.  And I've collected so many beautiful cards from swaps.

As I look back, I realize all these projects are so lovely and it would be great to see them again and get inspired.  I will randomly begin featuring Christmas Inspirations from Christmas Past.  Hope this inspires you.

Technique Tuesday: Sparkly Stained Glass

This technique is definitely sparkly.  With the right colors, this could make a great 3D Christmas Ornament.

Throwback Thursday: Stationery Box

Today's Throwback idea is from many years ago.  I bought these clear stationery boxes on-line and this was my class project.  We put the boxes together and filled them with 5 cards and 5 envelopes.  This made a wonderful teacher's gift.

Technique Tuesday: Striped Brayer Technique

This technique is very cool and it's not as messy as you would think.  This would make a great background for any card.  Don't think it's listed on the directions, but you have to first wrapped 2-3 rubberbands on your brayer to get that look.

Throwback Thursday: Wood Alphabet Letter

For one of my classes a few years back, I got everyone their own wooden initials.  They were able to decorate and paint the wooden letters to their own liking.  We used Hodge Podge Glue to stick the DSP paper onto the wood.  Cool idea... it's nice to get a combo of letters and hang them in your craft room wall:  C R A F T  or  I N S P I R E..
