Today I’m sharing the tutorial I wrote for Pink Persimmon’s free holiday craft ebook. You can download the entire e-book full of craft ideas here, all you have to do is sign up for Pink Persimmon’s email newsletter.

Christmas Cards
I’m almost ready to send mine out! They may even reach people before Christmas! Well, let’s not get ahead of ourselves. I still need to address 75 envelopes.

New Toy Tuesday: Metallic Distress Stains
I don’t think I even knew these things existed until last week. Apparently they were released at Winter CHA this past year, but I was kinda busy having a baby right around then.

But this time, instead of using Peel-Off Stickers, I’ve used die cuts from Dee’s Distinctively Dies. Despite the grammatical travesty that is their brand name, these dies are very pretty and well made.I …
