Control Freaks December Blog Hop - Shine On!

 Hello, Stampers!

Welcome to the Tour de Freaks December blog hop!

Whether you have just arrived from the ever-talented Tami Hewlett's blog 

or just starting out here, The Freaks are here ready to add some 

sparkle and shine to your holidays papercrafting projects!

There are so many fun ways to add sparkle, shimmer and shine

to your projects - and it's not just for the holidays! 

Embossing powders, ribbons and trims, gilding and embellishments

are just a few ways to really add a touch of elegance and glam to any project!

For this card, I embossed the card base using the Merry Melody 

embossing folder and then added a thin layer of Multi-purpose

liquid glue with my fingertip randomly to areas of the embossing

and lightly brushing the gold guilded leafing on top. 

I finished it off with a little gold ribbon, gold gems, gold embossing and gold trim.

These sweet little Simply Classic treat boxes are the perfect

little party favor for any occasion! The brushed gold lid is beautiful

on it's own or just add a small gold-guilded snowflake accent to 

coordinate with the party or event  theme!
