My mom, my sister and I have two Thanksgiving traditions - we string popcorn and cranberries and we make Christmas cards. I am happy to report my popcorn and cranberries look great on my Christmas tree. As far as cards go, I will be sending out some of the cards you've seen in previous posts, but for all of my stamping friends, I still need to create something they've never seen or even worse, made at one of my events. So I can't brag about being done with my cards, but Mom's and Sara's are done. Here's the card my mom will be sending out this year. She used Lovely As a Tree but added just the bird from the main stamp in Scenic Seasons in the background.

December Stamp Club is tomorrow night! I tried to make some of the projects Christmas but also projects that could be adapted if the ladies wanted to use them for something else. I thought this one could be a winter birthday for most anyone. It features an old technique, but one I have never done with the club before. If you don't have treat cups but still want to do a snow globe, how about making a gel card? I used the 1 3/4 circle punch for the hole, attached a cello bag of hair gel and Dazzling Diamonds to the back of the Bashful Blue and adhered it to the top of the Real Red. Do you recognize the piece I used for the base? It's the balloon basket from Sweet Centers. 
After making several of these Halloween treat containers with the Candy Wrapper Bigz Die, it seemed to be an easy switch to Christmas. I used the Northern Flurry Textured Impressions Embossing Folder from the holiday mini catalog. You can see the seam of the box at the top - that's because I wanted to put my Merry Christmas scallop on the side with the fewest snowflakes. Although the ribbon isn't necessary to keep the box closed, I think it adds some color and keeps the recipient from peeking!
