Welcome to the Creativity Abounds Blog Hop. This month, we are sharing current Gift Packaging. Mine is my Christmas Basket. I hope you will join me and 12 very talented Demonstrator Friends from the Creativity Abounds Design Team today for our monthly blog hop. We are a group of Demonstrators from around the world who get together monthly to create a tutorial that is available for sale. In addition to the tutorial, we blog with a different project but with the same theme. Also, we gather together to host a Mega Stamp Camp three times a year! Our next one is later this month. You will love the projects each design team member makes, as they are extremely talented. Here they are.
Design Team
This month, the theme for the tutorial and this Blog Hop is Gift Packaging. Come explore all the projects we have used to create our beautiful projects. I feel blessed to be among these talented women. For my project today, I decided to make my Christmas Basket. I just love this design. It is simple but beautiful, but I hope you like it. Here is my project. The supplies will be listed below.

Game Night
Don’t miss GAME NIGHT on December 18th at 8:00 p.m. EST. We are featuring the Friendly Foliage Bundle. It is FREE to watch but a class registration is required if you want to play the games and win the prizes as well as get the 4 card class kit. Watch me create 4 cards that you can receive in a class. Socialize with other stampers in the chat, have the chance to win prizes, and get mailed a 4 card class kit. I always spoil my registered class participants with lots of goodies.
I will create a card then we will play a game of Lucky Number, four separate times. Each month there is a stamp set or Bundle that is featured and all the cards are made with it.
