Snowman Tag

Hello friends! Today I have a little tag to share with you that I made for this week's Sisterhood Sunday challenge at Rubbernecker Stamps based on this photo inspiration -I used the wonderful Miranda snowman from this season's new releases, cut her out, covered her with a bit of Rock Candy Stickles for some shimmer, and layered her over some wonderful patterned papers and stickers from Crate Paper. I finished the tag with some little Christmas lights inspired by the photo and some snowflakes stamped in silver ink.

I hope you can play along with us! Each entrant is eligible to win stamps!

Mwah!

Hello friends and welcome to another wonderful sketch challenge at Waltzingmouse! I had so much fun with this sketch, I can't wait to see what you come up with -
I made this card for Cathy who organized a wonderful card exchange this year! It was so fun to actually make and send a card to someone since I make so many cards that hardly ever get sent!

I started off with some great metallic background paper and then layered a couple of die cut circles that I stamped with the holly image from Festive Foliage. I added a doily, some red satin ribbon, and a gold button to finish it off. I really like how the red and gold work together and I don't use them as much as I should!

Have a great day and a wonderful weekend! I'm excited to be able to volunteer at a holiday party for a local women's shelter today and then I think we're getting and decorating our tree! It will be nice for it to finally feel a bit Christmassy around the house! :)

Wonderful

Hello friends! Today I have a fun tag to share with you that I made for this month's Verve Diva Dare! It has been so long since I've had a chance to ink up my Verve stamps and this was soooo fun!

I started with a large shipping tag that I stamped with the smallest snowflake in the Christmas in the Air set in white craft ink (a little hard to see in the photo.) I then tore some white glitter cardstock to represent snowy hills and added a fun tag border. I heat embossed the sentiment and then stamped the wonderful trees which I colored with my Copic markers, covered with chunky glitter, and popped off the card with foam squares! I really love how this little scene came out!

Cards Magazine

Hello friends! Just a quick post today to share a couple of projects that are featured in the December issue of Cards Magazine! I had so much fun making this little window scene card using my Half Pint Heroes and Way out West stamps from Waltzingmouse and the wonderful To the Moon collection of papers and embellishments from October Afternoon!

I made this tag using a large shipping tag from Uline, stamps from Papertrey Ink and some vintage rhinestone buttons!

Thanks so much for stopping by and have a wonderful day!

Joy to the World

Happy Monday, friends! I sure hope you had a wonderful first weekend of December! Did you do any holiday prep? We sure did! Because we live in a small apartment, we keep our Christmas decorations in a storage unit and so we did the decoration shuffle! We now have everything at home and just need to get our tree!

Okay, on to the business of the day - our new challenge at The Kraft Journal - Christmas tags or gift card holders! I created this oversized tag from a postcard tag base that I covered with three strips of paper tape and a couple of reinforcers and stamped with a wonderful sentiment. The felt tree was covered with brad "ornaments" and the card was finished with a seam binding bow and cross charm.

I can't wait to see what you come up with for this challenge! Link up by Sunday night for a chance to be chosen one of our Top 3 and for a chance to win a voucher for The Kraft Outlet! Yay!

Supplies: Postcard Tag/Cross Charm/Brads (The Kraft Outlet), Paper Tape/Seam Binding (7 Gypsies), Reinforcers (Tim Holtz), Stamps - Say it Loud Holiday (WMS), Ink - Real Red (SU!), Felt/Tree Die/Twine (PTI)

Big Day

Happy Saturday, friends, and we have a fun sketch for you over at the Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge! Check out this beauty -
I decided to take a little break from Christmas crafting to make a tag for my sister's birthday present! Having a mid-December birthday has always been tough for her with "combo" Christmas and birthday gifts so I always try to make it special.

I cut the tag base from a sheet of balsa wood for some texture and added strength then used some Perfect Pearls along with the Flourishes set for some shimmer. I cut a circle of brown felt and then added a stamped tag and a wonderful spray of gems for the grand finale. I think it will glam up any package!!

I sure hope you can play along with us this week and I can't wait to see your take on this wonderful sketch!

Supplies: Stamps - Flourishes, Back in the Saddle (WMS), Shipping Tag (Etsy), Prima Gems, Ink - Cameo Coral (SU!), Gold (Encore), Perfect Pearls, Balsa Sheet (SU!), Cuttlebug, Dies (Spellbinders), Felt (PTI), Twine (Crafta)

Let it Snow!

Hello friends! Today I have a card to share with you that I made for the "Red and Rustic" Moxie Fab Tuesday Trigger challenge based on this photo - I just love the homey feeling of this little seating area and was inspired by the color palette for the little snowman card I made. I just love red and kraft together with a pop of white! I finished the card with a bright bow and two wooden snowflakes that represent the little logs next to the chair. After spending Thanksgiving in the woods, this was the perfect reminder of a wonderfully long weekend! Thanks, Cath! :)
