The oh-so-talented Frank Garcia for Prima made these gorgeous gold resin snowflake charms with a Re-Design Mould.

Use it again and again to create snowflakes that glitter with gold or icy blue sparkles. You can even make custom ornaments for your tree!

The holidays can be a total whirlwind of shopping, wrapping, and decking the halls. Why not deck your Memorydex Spinner with some festive features and memories too!

You can find fancy ephemera and stickers for each fabulous page or leave spots open for photos and journaling!

A Little Mo Crafty die cut and stamped these positively perfect plaid paper ornaments with Art Impressions Stamps.

The base of these cute little ornaments is made from a Honey Bee Stamps die that makes both ornaments and snowglobes - we love supplies that can be used in more than one way!

Airbrush Marker Greeting Cards

Airbrush Marker Cards

Kimberly Crawford created these fun airbrushed effects with the We R Cordless Marker Airbrush Kit.

Is that a light dusting of fresh snow flurries on the holly berries? No, it's just an amazing spritz of marker ink from the We R Airbrush Kit! These colorful cards started as just white card fronts, and white die cut Christmas foliage - but with a little airbrushing, they've turned into something absolutely amazing. What will you airbrush this Christmas season?

💗 Tip: You can use your entire stencil collection with fun marker airbrush effects. Just think of all the cool patterns you can make on your next project!

Handmade Poinsettia Flowers

Spellbinders Poinsettia Flowers

Joanna Wisniewska is making an entire bouquet of multi-colored poinsettias for all this year's festive projects.

Poinsettias are truly the Christmas flower of the season. Their beauty and versatility lets you place them in your scrapbook layouts, daily albums, greeting cards, handmade gifts, and home decor on them. Spend some time before the cookie baking and present wrapping, making enough handmade paper & vellum poinsettia flowers for every project.

💗 Tip: To get some lifelike shape in your petals and flowers, use an embossing tool or paper sculpting kit that rounds the edges and makes them look alive!
