Love, Santa

 

Happy Wednesday Peeps!!

Today I am sharing some tags I made using these fun little chocolates I got recently.

Aren't the cute?!!.

I made up a few to use in my customer thank you's this month.

The tag is made using Very Vanilla card stock and the top is punched 

with the Delightful Tag Topper Punch.

The DSP is from the Night Before Christmas 6 x 6 paper pack.

 

I die cut a circle with Very Vanilla using a die from the Stitched Shapes die set for 

my sentiment.

The sentiment comes from the Holly Jolly stamp set and is stamped with real red ink.

The holly is from the Holiday Haul set and is stamped with garden green.

I used three red rhinestones for the berries.

 

I added the sentiment piece to the base tag with dimensionlas.

The candy Santa is held to the circle with a couple of glue dots.

 

I added some Cherry Cobbler Diagonal Stripe ribbon to the top

and tied a piece of linen thread around the ribbon and added a jungle bell to finish it up.

I have a couple of more treats made with these to share with you tomorrow.

Listed below are all the "ingredients" used to make this card.

Signs of Santa Tags

Happy Saturday Peeps!

I have been having some fun making my Christmas tags!

 

Today I am sharing a couple I made using the Signs of Santa stamp set.

I started by stamping the Santa, elf, wagon and present images with black memento ink onto some thick whisper white card stock.

I colored the images with my copic markers and hen die cut out with the matching framelits.

 

My tag size is 2-5/8 by 4 inches and I used some DSP from the Festive Farmhouse pack .

 

The little snowflakes are cut with some silver glitter paper. I added a small strip of the same silver glitter paper between the two DSP's.

The sentiments are from the Signs of Santa set.

I added a gold clip with a red stitched satin ribbon bow to the top.

I will have a few more tags to share coming through out the next few weeks.

Thanks for stopping by today.

Crazy 4 Challenges....thanks for being you

Happy Saturday peeps!!

It’s challenge time with the “Crazies” over on the Crazy 4 Challenges blog.

The challenge this week is:

Tag You’re It! 

 This week let’s use a Tag on whatever you create. It can be an individual tag or you can add the tag to your card/project you create.

I made a couple of cards for this challenge using tags, 

I like to make tags and use as the focal point on a card, it is really easy and you can 

add whatever you like to a tag.

I , of course, used flowers!

The flower on here is fast becoming a favorite of mine, it comes from the photo polymer set called Crazy About You. It is loaded with words and contains just a couple of flowers and leaf images. It is a must have in my opinion.

I used some paper from the Go Wild paper stack and I love the pop of color the yellow brings to the card.

I cut a piece of burlap ribbon and frayed it apart to add to my tag and behind it also.

Now my other card was a fun one to make too:

This card is made completely using the Endless Thanks stamp set, it is another photo polymer set that I love!

The flowers are little but so fun, I stamped them using Rose Red, Watermelon Wonder and Crisp Cantaloupe. I fussy cut them out and added them to my tag in no particular order, I popped up a few with dimensionals.

So which one do you prefer? 

Leave me a comment and you could win a pack of the Stampin Up new Perfect Accents:

I love these and used them on both of my tag cards today. I will draw a random name on Friday! good luck!!

Happy Heart Day Mini Pails

Happy Wednesday Peeps!!

Today I am sharing some little Mini Paint Pail valentines I have been working on.

I was talking to my friend Wendy at WeeBeeStampin4Fun  the other day and  I mentioned these pails and that I was going to make some for work. I only had four here and I asked her if she knew if Michaels still carried them. She said she had seen them awhile back at her Michaels (of course she lives in PA and I live in MO). 

She then  challenged me to get mine made and she would make hers and we could post them on our blogs today. 

Well, that gave me the push to actually get them done.

 I had four of the pails already but wanted a few more, 

so I ran out to Michaels to pick up a few more. I ended up making 10.

I had decided before I got started that I wanted to make pom poms for the top.

 I tried making some pom poms out of Bakers twine but they just don't look as full and fluffy as the ones made with yarn. 

So I dug into my yarn stash and found some yarn to match my paper colors and made me up a bunch of pom poms!

I think they turned out pretty cute! I love the colors and papers and all the embellishments, some which are pre-made stickers. 

I used the Stampin Up single stamp from last year I think called Happy Valentine Heart on some of them and the Happy Heart Day come from the Tags 4 You stamp set.

All the tags started with a Crumb Cake base punched with the Note Tag Punch. it was the perfect size for the mini pails.

I have a few close up pics for you:

The DSP comes from a My Minds Eye pack I picked up recently.

Don't you love the bows and pom poms?

The clothspins with hearts are some I had in my stash as well as the pretty paper roses.

So sweet and girly!

Hope you enjoy them and don't forget to hop over to Wendy's Blog 

and see how she decorated her little pails!

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.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Dynamic Duos......Warm Winter Wishes Tags

Happy Saturday Peeps!!!

Time for a new Dynamic Duos Color Challenge.

I thought about these colors for a long time, contemplating which way to go, the pretty in pink and rose red would make pretty flowers of course, but in the end, I decided to go with Christmas again. I made up some little tags using whisper white and the pretty in pink and rose red.

I cut the tags using my petite scallop nestiabilities die, I folded a piece in half and put the fold line just above the top of the die.

I die cut a circle for the next layer with some rose red card stock and the two snowflakes are whisper white and pretty in pink card stock cut with a cuttlebug snowflake die. 

The sentiment comes from the Winter Memories stamp set and I added a crystal button with some white bakers twine.

I added some silver cord at the top for attaching to a present or to hang from the tree.

Be sure and hop over to the Dynamic Duos Blog to see what the rest of the design team did with these great colors.

Thanks for stopping by and 

HAPPY STAMPING!!

Mojo Very Merry Set

Happy Hump Day Peeps!!! Hope your week is going well so far!!

Today I have a fun little set to show you. My card and tag was both made with the "Holiday Hoopla" stamp set. I used the Mojo Monday Sketch challenge for my card.



I started my card with a base of real red and then followed that with some Baja Breeze. The DS paper used is from the Candy Cane Speciality Paper Pack. This sketch has a fun tilted panel in the middle, I do LOVE tilted panels!!!! I used the Curly Label pinch in Baja behind Santa. I used some real red grosgrain ribbon across the bottom and added a punched snowflake under the knot of the bow. The Santa is stamped onto whisper white card stock and I used a bit of blush blossom ink from my marker and my aqua painter color in the tiny bit of his face that is showing. I used a very little bit of real red to add some cheeks and a little down the edge of his nose. I stamped his hat with real red ink and then added some XMas red stickles to it. I also used a little bit of stardust stickles on his moustache. I added just a bit of shadow with my tombow N95 marker. the sentiment is from the "Short & Sweet" stamp set and is stamped with black stazon.

Then I wanted to make a matching tag:




The tag is cut from the Two Tags Die, which I don't have but I did cut a few awhile back when I was with someone who had it, with whisper white card stock. I then added another layer of white that was embossed with a snowflake EF. I then added two small strips of DS paper that was punched with the dotted scallop ribbon border punch. I then added another Santa, made like the one on the card, on this Santa I added the "To/From stamp onto his beard, that stamp is in the set. I added some bakers twine to the tag.

Well, that is all from me today, Thanks so much for stopping by today and HAPPY STAMPING!!!!!
