CC457......Sending Joy & Cheer

Happy Tuesday Peeps!!!

Today I am sharing a tag I made using the color challenge this week on Splitcoast.

The colors this week are Real Red, Blushing Bride and Gumball Green with  a dessert option of making a Holiday Thank You or a Tag.

Tag it is, since I was needed a few. I always give out Goodie Trays to neighbors, friends and family at Christmas and I like to put a handmade tag on each one, this year may be an exception as I only have a couple made and time is running short. Anyway, I decide to make a tag with these colors.

I had the idea for this tag awhile back and I had ordered me a pretty wreath die to use on it, this die comes from HERE. I used a chipboard rectangle coaster for this tag. I cut the edges at a slant to make it into a tag.

I covered the coaster with some Blushing bride cardstock and then I used some of my favorite music sheet paper. I left the bottom edge un-glued on the music paper because I knew I wanted to tear it to add my sentiment. I tore off a corner of the sheet music paper exposing the Blush card stock below and then

I sponged the edges of of the tag using Some Tim Holtz Distressing Ink, I also sponged the torn edge of the sheet music paper.

I die cut my wreath 4 times using gumball green card stock to make my wreath. First one I glued to the surface directly, the next wreath was added using very, very small bits of  dimensionals. Then the next layer was glued. I then added my red bird, using real red card stock and my Stampin Up Bird Punch.

I nestled the bird into the wreath tucking it under a few of the branches. I then took my 4th wreath and cut it apart and added it around the wreath to give it even more dimension. I love this wreath and how it turned out.

I then used my Stampin Up Owl Punch for the little berries on the wreath. I glued them in ones and threes onto the wreath.

I used a small pearl for the eye of the bird. The wing on the bird was curled just a bit and added with a dimensional. 

I was lucky enough to snag the Stampin Up Endless Wishes Stamp Set before it sold out, I had not even opened it until now.  I used it to build my sentiment. I added the "and" symbol with my black marker.

I used my crop a dile to punch a hole in the top of the tag and added some Real Red Satin ribbon and rusty jingle bells to finish it off.

Sweet Sunday......Christmas Wreath

Happy Sunday Peeps!!!

It is Sweet Sunday Sketch Day!!

Here is the sweet sketch Karen has for us this week:

I pulled out my Stampin Up single stamp called Wonderful Wreath. I stamped the wreath with always artichoke ink and with old olive ink onto some very vanilla card stock. I cut out the always artichoke wreath and then cut out some of the leaves on the old olive wreath and added them to the artichoke wreath. I added some small cherry cobbler circles for berries on the wreath. I then punched my bird using the Modern Medley DSP and the two step Bird Punch. I added a Cherry Cobbler bow and top loop to the wreath. I added some small bells to my bow.

The base of my card is Crumb Cake card stock and the DSP is from the retired Deck the Halls pack, that DSP is matted with Cherry Cobbler and Crumb Cake card stock as well. I embossed a piece of Cherry Cobbler for the side strip and then added a small piece of DSP from the Modern Medley pack and a small piece of champagne glimmer paper to the strip. The small flag is also made with the champagne glimmer paper. I then finished off with three antique brads. No sentiment on the front of this one, but you defiantly know this is a Christmas card. 

Now let's see what the rest of the girls did with this fun sketch:
