Check out the new Holliday Supplement Catalog for Christmas Gift Ideas that are fun to make and unique!!

One of the most popular items on the catalog id the photo memories kit... what a nice gift would that be, uh? You can make it a year around display but using a different expression (ask me about it) and then just add seasonal pictures to decorate! Really Nice!

Getting Ready for Christmas? Check this out!!

There are so many completely adorable items in our recently released Idea Catalog: Holiday Edition, but one of my favorites has to be our Shimmer Vinyl. Why? Well, for starters the shimmer is very subtle and subdued—but in a good way. I have one of our holiday expressions, “Happy Holidays” (pg .15) in Shimmer Cranberry and Shimmer Silver up in my office right now and I love how it adds such great texture to the expression. People are always stopping by to take a look at it. In addition to Cranberry and Silver, our shimmer vinyl also comes in Gold and Evergreen. These colors are, of course, great for the holidays, but I can also see them paired with non-holiday expressions. The Gold and Silver Shimmer would be perfect in a little or teen girl’s room, or imagine the Evergreen or Cranberry in any of our sports-themed expressions—there are just so many possibilities!
If you are loving shimmer vinyl as much I am, I know you’ll want to share it. And an easy way to do it is with some really cute and affordable Make & Takes. Just purchase our Shimmer Vinyl Sample Words for $12.95 (Supply Item #200345) and you’ll receive a pack of 80 words (20 each of ho, ho, ho, Joy, Peace, and Believe), that can be transformed into fun and easy projects for your guests. Don’t believe us? Check out some of the ideas our team at the Home Office came up with.



With our sample words you can add a little holiday cheer to just about anything. For proof, check out this charming project, created by applying one sample word to a $1.99 candle and votive.




Looking for a way to display your favorite holiday photos? How about with this darling frame! We simply purchased a clear magnetic frame one clearance for $1.50 (Thank you, Target!) and then inserted some green crinkle scrapbook paper. To make the “ho, ho, ho” border on the bottom, we applied two sample words and then cut an extra “ho” from a third sample word. The finishing touch was a bit of our Trimmings™ Ribbon (Item #300105; $6.95) in black on the top. Now, all that we’re missing is the perfect photo to slide inside.



A message of peace is even better when it arrives in the form of this cute card. To create it, we used red crinkle paper that we cut and folded in half. Then we added a block of green scrapbook paper, a strip of our Trimmings™ Ribbon in black, and finished with our sample word in Gold Shimmer.



Make & Take projects this season don’t have to be holiday-themed. This frame can find itself at home in a teen girl’s room, dorm room, or even in an office with any photo that represents a goal you’re working towards. The frame shown above was purchased for $1.99 and then we simply applied our sample word to the bottom and three Dress-Ups Gems (#Item #300104; $4.95) to the top.



Simple, handmade gifts are always appreciated, and we think these fun (and funky) holidays cards and envelopes are just the thing to give to neighbors, friends, and co-workers. To make them, we purchased a package of 50 colorful, blank cards and envelopes for just $7.99 and then applied one sample word each one.



Other ideas? How about magnets! To create the ones pictured above, we just stopped in at our favorite hardware store where we bought these tiles and a package of magnets. Also pictured above is a gift tag that we created using some white card stock and a little red ribbon.
As you can see, there are so many fun ways to use both our sample words and Shimmer Vinyl. These items are only available until December 7, so place you order today!
