Warming Holiday Home Tea Light Gifts

One of the pleasures of the chillier, darker days is to toast your toes by a real fire, with a book on your knee (the Stampin' Up! catalog perhaps!) and a steaming cup of hot chocolate at your elbow. I've tried to capture that comforting firelight in the little gift I'm going to show you today.
Come and see: WARMING HOLIDAY HOME TEA LIGHT PHOTO 1 
This little decoration holds an electric tea light which flickers just like firelight. It's made of vellum and stamped with one of the beautiful little houses from the Holiday Home Stamp Set.
 WARMING HOLIDAY HOME TEA LIGHT PHOTO 2 This is how it looks in the daylight when the tea light is turned off. It's very easy to make! I cut a strip of vellum into a 6-5/8" x 3" (17 cm x 7 cm) piece and scored it at 1-5/8" (4 cm), 3-1/8" (8 cm), 4-3/4" (12 cm), and 6-1/4" (16 cm). I stamped the house in each scored “frame” using the Jet Black StāzOn Ink Pad.
 WARMING HOLIDAY HOME TEA LIGHT PHOTO 3 Once I scored and stamped the vellum, I colored the reverse side using Blendabilities; then I trimmed the top and assembled it into a square shape. Tip: StāzOn ink is perfect for stamping on shiny surfaces like vellum, but because it's an alcohol-based ink (like the Blendabilities) you’ll end up with “dirty” coloring if you try to color on the same side.
 WARMING HOLIDAY HOME TEA LIGHT PHOTO 4 These pretty decorations would make great presents, but are you wondering how you'd gift wrap them? Well, that's easy! In just a few minutes, you can make a perfectly-sized box using the Stampin' Up! Gift Box Punch Board. Here are the measurements: 1-3/4" x 1-3/4" x 3-1/4" (4.9 cm x 4.9 cm x 8.3 cm).
WARMING HOLIDAY HOME TEA LIGHT PHOTO 5 I used rich Cherry Cobbler Cardstock for mine, and I think they look gorgeous tied up with lush Real Red 3/8" Satin Woven Ribbon with some pretty tags. How would you decorate yours?

How to Make Perfect Bows

Fork Bow Technique

Bows are beautiful and bows are sweet, but sometimes it can be a difficult for many of us to tie pretty bows. The solution? The “Fork Bow”! Here’s a no-fail recipe for to follow to create the perfect bows.

Softer ribbons that aren’t too wide work best for this bow technique. Try the Stampin’ Up! 1/2″ Seam Binding Ribbon or 1/4″ Cotton Ribbon for the best results. Dinner forks make sweet small bows and serving-sized forks make bows that are a bit larger. When selecting a fork to use you’ll need to choose one that has 4 tines, not 3.


1. To create a Fork Bow, begin with a standard dinner fork with four tines and a 8″-10” piece of ribbon. (Use a slightly longer ribbon for bows created using a server fork). Hold the fork facing you. Place ribbon across front of fork with 1/3” of the length to the left of the fork. This end of the ribbon doesn’t move. Wrap the right end of the ribbon around behind the fork.

2. Wrap ribbon over the top of the first end and thread it down through the space between the center fork tines and below where the first ribbon crosses the fork.

3. Pull ribbon end up through the space between center fork tines from behind.

4. Tie the ribbon ends in a tight knot against the fork. (This photo shows the back of the fork bow).

5. Slide the bow off of the fork. Pull on the bow loops to tighten the bow. You now have a perfect bow! Use Glue Dots to attach the bow to your project.

I hope this tutorial helps you with your beautiful bows!
