These beauties are the little gift I’m giving to my Club members this year.

Want to make something unique that will have the recipient in awe? Well, have I got the project for you! Plus, it’s so easy that a 4-year-old can do it (or in my case–two 4-year-olds!).

This month one of the projects that my Stamp Club is making is a glass ornament decorated with our Glitter Rub-Ons. They truly sparkle in person!
