Holiday Gift Guide Blog Hop

 Welcome to my first ever blog hop.  The purpose of this hop is to introduce you some of the new product in our Holiday Gift Guide, available October 15th now through December  31 (or while supplies last).
It's a circle of CTMH consultants who want to share some special artwork with you.  If you have come here from Carolyn Johnston's Blog, you are headed on the right path.  If you get lost along the way you can find a complete list of the participating consultants here.

It's super easy to hop along with us - just click on the link at the bottom of this post to see what is next.

This Treat Box Card was made using the new 

Sparkle and Shine Paper Packet.

It's a fun way to give a little sweet gift along with the card.  In the box are 5 Hersey Nuggets each wrapped in our great B&T paper.  The stamp set used for the sayings is from the Stamp of the Month for this month and available only until Oct 31.

The template for this treat box came from Splitcoaststampers, Treat Box Card.  I cut the opening using Cricut Craftroom.

Post it Note Holder

This second item I wanted to show you that the Sparkle and Shine Paper Packet can be used for something besides Christmas.  I am sure you have seen Post it Note Holders before using a slanted acrylic frame, but frankly they are really flimsy.  So I decided to use our new Designed Decor Flip Stand, I used the rings to hold a pen, and tied it on so you wouldn't loose it.  This stand is meant to use for a little table top album.  I have one made with Frosted and Huntington papers that you can take a look at.  Anyway, if you decide you don't want to use it as a Post it Note Holder after awhile you can always just make a little album and use it that way too.
