Cringle Mingle card candy and a nite light holder

Yesterday was my Cringle Mingle for my downlines and hostesses and as I'd been in Plymouth all week I was still rushing around at the last minute trying to finish things up as they were walking in the door. I therefore didn't get any pix of what I'd prepared for them (sorry about that). Each guest got a sheet of card candy, a little box of chocolates and a package of snowman soup. Luckily I'd made extra card candy for hostess gifts in the new year so I can at least show you that, lol. I got the idea for this from some of the demos that went to convention and did a card candy swap.

Recipe

Stamp sets: Darling Dots (hostess level 1), Fun and Fast Notes (for sentiments)

We had an open crafting session with everyone doing their own thing but one project that we did all have a go at together, was to make a nite light holder, following this tutorial over at ILWS. Here's mine.

Recipe

Stamp sets: Season of Joy, Scandinavian Season

Cardstock: Old Olive, Vellum

DSP: Holiday Treasures (retired)

Ink: Old Olive, Versamark

Punch: Eyelet Border

The battery operated tea light ensures that I won't burn the house down.

Now back to christmas card duty ...
