HOME HOLIDAY CRAFTS

ou could
say Amber
Kemp-Gerstel
goes big in
everything she
does. She’s a
prolific crafter
(BH&G named
her blog, Damask
Love, one of our
favorites), creative
entrepreneur
(her latest line of
crafting products
is in JoAnn Stores),
and enthusiastic
TV personality
(you may have
seen her on NBC’s
Making It crafting
competition series
last year). Now
she’s hosting a
new family crafting
show on Disney
Plus. Her take on
holiday decorating
is simple but eye-
popping: Amp
up traditional
motifs with whimsy
and a glue gun.
