Take
a peek inside our Holiday issue!
Spend the holidays with this issue of Inspirations and you're sure to
find many terrific projects for gift-giving and ways to celebrate the
season with some stamping. Our AOC elves have been hard at work designing
polymer clay treasure boxes, Christmas faux postage, spa and bath items,
great Christmas cards, and exploring our newest stamp line, the Leonardo
da Vinci collection. Beautiful gift boxes with a versatile template
are shown, as well as a neat idea using stamps, beads and wire. "Potted
Gifts" is a great way to give a unique gift this season or any
time of the year and "Impressive Memories" is full of well
executed scrapbook pages. This is a holiday issue sure to delight the
senses and awake your creative spirit!

That's A Christmas
Stamp?
With a little imagination, your favorite everyday stamps can become
"Christmas stamps," perfect for the holidays! Think outside
the box this season as you begin making cards. Summer fruit gets a
seasonal make-over, the Friendship Tree is decorated for the holidays,
and that's just the beginning.
The
Art of the Bath
Give the gift of relaxation and rejuvenation this holiday season with
these beautiful and exotic recipes for great bath art. Essential oils,
salt rubs, citrus splashes, ocean potions, and bath crystals will elevate
the senses and transport the recipient to a place of calm and peacefulness.
We've got some great ideas for label art, bottle embellishment and even
the recipes, not to mention an assortment of great rubber stamps to
pull it all together. These pages will move you to produce a terrific
bath ensemble or spa kit, creating a one-of-a-kind gift for yourself
or another.
Potted
Gifts
Everything's coming up roses, especially if you've put together one
of these fun and inspired gift pots! Using ordinary terra cotta (or
plastic works too), our artists have designed festive and creative gifts
for any number of occasions. What better way to say "welcome"
to a new neighbor than with a pot of black bean chili all wrapped up
with the accessories needed to put it together. Or make someone feel
better with a cookie kit; spatula and chocolate chips included!
Small
Gift Boxes With Big Style
Make your holiday wraps fun this year using this easy box template.
The boxes shown here are constructed out of different colored card stocks.
With some stamping, ribbon, charms and other embellishments they're
quickly transformed into stylish presents. For a varied look, try adding
ball finials to the bottom, or use spray adhesive to quickly add wrapping
paper to the template. The template can be enlarged or reduced to fit
your gift every time. Simply fold in the rounded flaps and secure with
ribbon or alternate the flaps and they'll hold themselves. This gift
box is a gift its elf!
