Christmas Tags 2013

Can you believe it's almost Christmas? Yikes!

Luckily for me, I did strike while the iron was hot last year and made these Christmas tags for this year...

And here are some of the tags already in use on presents under our Christmas tree...

To make the tags I used the Two Tags Die to cut the tags out of Crumb Cake cardstock, and various Stampin' Up! stamp sets; Dasher, Tree Trimmings, Welcome Christmas, Holiday Lineup, Many Merry Messages, Stitched Stockings, Many and Type, Greetings of the Season and Jolly Bingo Bits. I think that's all of them. All  other supplies used are from Stampin' Up!

I have another Christmas tag project to show you as soon as I get around to taking the photos. So many things to do and so little time. :(

Stay tuned. :)

Christmas Card Class WIth Friends

Well, I'm back (after what seems a reeeeaaally long time) with four Christmas cards that we made last night...

Do you like Rudolph's shiny red nose, thanks to Crystal Effects?

The second card has a line of sparkly snow, thanks to Dazzling Diamonds glitter, and a neat torn edge with compliments of the Tearing Edge ruler...


The background of the third card was created with the Soft Holly wheel, and the doves, again, were sprinkled with Dazzling Diamonds...

The last card was also dressed up with glitter all over the trees to resemble snow, and on the dove...

Well, it was a great night that went into the wee hours of this morning, and I have glitter all over the house to prove it - ha ha! Not sure if you can see it in the photos but yes, these cards were very sparkly!

I won't note down all the supplies used, but if you need to know anything, please just ask.

Well, I'm off. We have three parties to go to this weekend. Bring 'em on! I'll be back soon with some of the cards I made for these parties.

Take care.

Snowmen in July

I just love these stamps in the Holiday Lineup stamp set & this is the first time I've inked up one the stamps from it. You know it won't be long before we're all panicking because we haven't made our Christmas cards! Happens every year, doesn't it? Ha ha...

I couldn't decide which photos I liked the best so you get to see all of them. Lucky you - ha ha!



I used my beloved Big Kick with the Cuttlebug Snow Dots (I think that's the name of it) embossing folder on the Bashful Blue Cardstock, which was then mounted onto the Not Quite Navy cardstock & then onto the Whisper White card.

The image was stamped onto watercolour paper with black StazOn ink & coloured with my Not Quite Navy, Bashful Blue & Pumpkin Pie markers. It was adhered onto Not Quite Navy cardstock & then mounted onto the card with dimensionals. The finishing touch was the glitter to resemble snow.

The sentiment on the front is from the Level 1 Hostess Set, Best Yet. It was stamped onto Pumpkin Pie cardstock & punched out with the large oval punch. The greeting inside is from Many Merry Messages.

Cute little fellows aren't they?
