2013 Noel Notions

For the past few years I've added Noel Notions to my online shop.  These are fun, holiday themed items that are perfect to add to holiday cards, gift packaging, tags, Project Life pages, December Daily albums, mini albums and regular scrapbook pages.  This year I have a fun assortment that I'd like to preview here on the blog today.  I've got a few more surprises that will coming also and will share those when I'm finished with them.  My shop update will be very soon and I'll announce that here on the blog as well as on my Facebook page and Twitter.  

I thought these green flash cards would be fun this holiday season.  I'll be using a few as dividers for my December Memories handbook that I'll be taking on this year with Gossamer Blue.  Punch a few holes and they make perfect dividers.  

 Holiday Clips will be fun to add to my Project Life and December Memories inserts this season.  Just clip them over an insert or a photo and you're good to go.  The blank ledger clips are just the right size to stamp some images from the Gossamer Blue December Memories Kit.  Gold embossing would loo fabulous too. I'll be showing samples of this as my album progresses this year.  The fabric clips have gold metallic stitching.

 The Holiday Envelope Assortment has an array of sizes and shapes and colors of envelopes that will be perfect for adding to December Daily albums, Project Life pages, cards and more.  I like to use the larger envelopes as inserts for mini albums.  Just punch holes and tuck them in between pages.  They're great for holding extra photos, receipts, little lists and hidden journaling.

 Red & White Baker's Twine is always a must have for my holiday crafting.  It dresses up buttons and make each and every card or package extra special. This will be bundled in 5 yard increments.

 Candy Cane Clothespins were a good seller last year so they're making a come back this year.  I hand drew the red lines and added some very sparkly glitter to each clip.  Perfect for cards, little packages, keeping lists organized and I love to use them to keep my Project Life and December Daily supplies organized.

 This season is all about gold accents.  I see gold everywhere and I'm so happy to see it making a come back.  These Gold Clothespins are a favorite of mine this season.  Each clothespin has gold painted on the top and gold glitter on the bottom.  So spectacular and gorgeous looking in person.  I'll be using these for packaging up my cards as gifts sacks and so much more.

 Gold Shimmer Envelopes will be so lovely for those special cards or switch it up and add them to your December Daily albums.  So shimmery in person.

 Gold Foil Doilies take me right back to my childhood.  They remind me so much of the gold foil accents that were on everything from ornaments to cards to gift tags.  These are very pliable and definitely say "gold".  I'll be using these to wrap around gift sacks and holiday boxes tied with twine.  I'll be slipping a few into my December Memories album pages too and they'll be on my cards also this season.  These will come in a set of 10.

 I've got three different confetti assortments this season.  This Blue Frost Confetti reminds me of those chilly mornings when the tall grasses are covered in frost.  There's blue, white and gray sequins with snow fluff and stars added in for a nice, fluffy mix.

 The Holiday Confetti mix has traditional holiday colors with white and gold added in.  Gold stars are mixed in for extra sparkle.

 Another favorite of mine this year is this Woodland Confetti which features wood grain sequins along with beige and cream sequins + gold accents, snow fluff, reindeer sequins and wood veneer pieces.  Definitely a must if you love the wood grain look and all things outdoorsy. I'll be using this in a clear insert all by it self in my holiday album.

 Fluffy snow is always great for adding to stamped snow drifts, tags, confetti bags and more.  It's shimmery and fluffy and oh so pretty.

 I've been de-stashing some of my vintage items and this year I'll be selling Holiday Vintage Bundles along with my Noel Notions.  I'll have several themes with one of a kind vintage items mixed in with some newer crafty items.  No two kits will be alike.  These will be chock full of holiday goodies to add to packaging, tags, cards and more.  These will be in very limited quantities so act quickly if you like these.  Such a happy little photo below, don't you think?

 The Vintage Bundles will be packaged up with pretty ribbon and baker's twine.  Perfect for a gift for a crafty friend or to take to a card crop.  Or dump the contents into a pretty basket or bread pan and use at your gift wrapping station this holiday season.

My Noel Notions always get me excited for the holiday season.  I've saved back a few of each item so I'll be sure to share when I use them on holiday projects.  Thanks for stopping by and I hope you're preparing for a wonderful season of holiday crafting.  :)
