I told you I'd be back soon!  LOL!  Hope you had a wonderful (as much as it could be) Thanksgiving!  The holidays will be crazier than ever in a different way, so I'm going old school on several projects this year and using basic supplies.  The kids can get involved too!

This project is part of a Youtube video hop (below) that I hope you will enjoy!!  Here's what I made (the supplies & free template are also linked below (AFIL-Thank you for your support!):

You can make your own decorative paper or use some of the beautiful pre-made ones to save time!  I filled them with lots of candy, but gift cards and small items fit amazingly well.

See-Through Wish Ornament For Current "A Blog Named Hero Challenge!"

 Hi there!

Hope all is well with you!  The current challenge is See-Through at ABlogNamedHero.com  You could win a $50 shopping spree!  Hurry to enter!  


All I did was diecut the wish ornament in white several times to layer (cutting out the wish part.) Then once in holographic cardstock (supplies are linked below-afil thank you for supporting me!) Then I flipped the paper to die cut another holographic one that would be the reverse to finish the back.

I channel Jennifer McGuire and laminated some glitter and embossing powder for the middle of the "sandwich."  I added the hanger and bow and was done!

I hope you give it a try!

I'll be back soon!  Stay safe!
