Beautiful Boughs - Let There Be Light!
Hello and welcome to the Joy of Sets Christmas Blog Hop. We are a group of dedicated stampers who love to share our creations. If you are joining me from Laura, or starting here with me - welcome I'm sure you will find lots of fabulous inspiration as you hop around with us.
Our challenge this month is 'anything goes'!
So I decided to come up with a little something that will be perfect as a thank you gift or a table decoration. Inspiration for this project came to me several weeks ago when I took part in the Joy of Sets tic Tac Toe challenge blog hop.
Here are the colours I am using for my project.
Here are the items I used for my project; the die cuts were left over from my previous project.
My project started with a clean and dry glass jar. I used a piece of sponge to dab Tombow glue all around.
I then sprinkled the jar with Ice Stampin' Glitter.
Top Tip
I always use a tub to store my glitter in. Its easier to use a spoon and sprinkle the glitter and any excess falls straight back into the container.
At this point I decided to see if my tea light would fit. Epic fail, it was too big!! As usual, I was very short of time so I came up with a crafty solution (see below).
I used some of this stunning ribbon around the top of the jar adhering with glue dots.
I arranged the die cut pieces and also adhered these with lots of glue dots.
The little tag has been cut and stamped using the Tiny Keepsakes bundle. I tied two tiny bells to the tag with a piece of linen thread and adhered to the jar with a mini dimensional.
As a finishing touch I added a little bow, adhered with a glue dot.
Here is my finished project. To remedy my issue with the tea light I 'borrowed' some coin lights I have for a forthcoming workshop. So pretty and very sparkly!
Here are both my projects. You can find details for the card I made here from earlier this month for when I took part in the Joy of Sets Tic Tac Toc Challenge.
I will be making several of these to decorate my table over the Christmas holidays. Some of my crafty ladies had a sneaky peak of these projects and loved them so, I have decided that for my last workshop of 2019 we will make the two projects above and a mystery project.
This workshop has proved popular and I have had to change to bigger venue so that more people can join me. I have also found some slightly larger jars that tea lights will fit in! There are just a couple of places left - let me know if you are interested.
Thanks for hopping along with us, next up is Jackie Bultje who I am sure has something wonderful to share - click the image below to visit!

Happy hopping!

Gorgeous projects Susan - I'm going to try that one with the jar. Thanks for hopping again with us.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love this idea!! Great combo for gift with the matching card. I'm definitely going to try this.
ReplyDeleteJust wow! How gorgeous are both of your projects but your little jar light is amazing and something I may well just CASE for my own Christmas table. They're so sweet. Thank you for hopping with us!
