Stamping Inspiration

JINGLE BELLS GLASS BLOCK...

This is another of my Decor Elements Glass Block Creations.  I wanted to change it up from the lighted blocks that I have done previously.  So for this one, I used a "wavy" block versus the "ice" one I have used in the lighted blocks.  This allows you to see into the glass block for better (although wavy) viewing of objects inside. 

After applying the Decor Element to the front of the glass block, I used vellum paper with Serene Snowflakes stamped in Whisper White (from the Holiday Mini - available only until January 4!) on the inside back wall of the block.  Then I filled with Jingle Bells and wrapped with ribbon.  I wish there was a Real Red 1 1/4" Striped Ribbon!  But, these will have to do.  It's difficult to photograph and get the snowflake paper to show up very well against my usual backdrops - the closeup was the best I could do.  They look wonderful with candlelight behind the block, but I couldn't get that to come out on camera either! 

Well, I'm just back from a Longaberger Christmas Branch Party with my sister branch, so there is much to do before going to bed.  Until next time...
