My prayers go out to all those suffering from the LA wildfires and a special prayer for the firefighters and first responders who brave it all to protect others from losing it all.<\/p>\n

Our last and final Shoebox Event was hosted by me with a Christmas luncheon, snowman gift exchange game, and a couple rounds of bunco for laughs!\u00a0 Card making of course started the day and I used the unique Krazy Kreations stickers to create one Christmas card and one friend card.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I created a way to bring the celebration of the birth of Jesus with the music notes and Stampin’ Up! stamps.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The dancing deer do look like they are celebrating.<\/p>\n

That, Sal, is Designer Series Paper from Stampin’ Up! as is the red and black plaid I used for accents.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>So the outline of the deer is actually a sticker?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Yes, Sal.\u00a0 So are the music notes on the outside, the little bird and the greeting, bell and holly up top.\u00a0 The little bird is from the ‘Hello Winter’ sticker bundle, and the green boughs and greeting are also stickers.\u00a0 Here are steps for creating with a Krazy Kreation’s sticker when adding to glitter paper:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Burnish a piece of KrazyKreations fine glitter paper.<\/li>\n
  2. Carefully peal off the stickers that you want to be glittery, place on the glitter paper.<\/li>\n
  3. Burnish the sticker.\u00a0 I used our ink roller.<\/li>\n
  4. Color the image using ALCOHOL markers.<\/li>\n
  5. Fussy cut the image.<\/li>\n
  6. Use the edge of a black marker to have a definitive black edge on the cut out sticker.<\/li>\n
  7. Apply to your project.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    \"\"<\/a> Woah – that is not as easy as stamping!<\/p>\n

    Just different, Sal.\u00a0 It is always fun to learn new things at any age.<\/p>\n
