Wondrous Wreath Christmas Tags

Yay it's Friday!!  I am so glad the weekend is here, it's been another busy week here at my house!  I have a quick project to share with you today using Wondrous Wreath.  I chose that set because today my third project for the Create with Connie and Mary Holiday Collection went live!  This collection is full of amazing ideas to make your holidays brighter.  If you are not a subscriber, there is still time!  Just go to Create with Connie and Mary for all the details!

Now, on to the set of gift tags.  I wanted to try a new color combination for the wreath, so I went with brighter colors.

Can you guess what colors I used??  I went with Pistachio Pudding and Wild Wasabi for the leaves and Strawberry Slush for the berries.  Isn't this a fabulous combination?!

I ended up making a set of 6 of theses tags to use.  They are so bright and happy, I just love them!

The tag started out with the wreath die cut and layered on a Strawberry Slush flower from the Floral Frames Collection.  I added in a Strawberry Slush bow and a sentiment from Good Greetings.  The sentiment fit perfectly on the banner that comes with the Snowflake Flip Card Thinlet.

Lastly, a little bling was added.  A rhinestone in the center of the bow and a bit of silver ribbon.

I hope you enjoyed my bright and festive gift tags!  They are easy to make and are a great way to add that extra touch to your gifts!

Thanks so much for stopping by!  Happy Stamping!

Festival of Trees for CCMC327

It's Thursday and time for the new challenge from Create with Connie and Mary.  This week we have a great sketch to work with.

I always love the sketches with unusual angles, they are extra fun!  I have been on a Festival of Trees kick, so I went with it for today's card.

Talk about lots of patterns!  I went crazy with the Trim the Tree Designer Series Paper Stack on this card!

I started out with a Garden Green card base embossed with the On Point embossing folder.  Then the madness begins with lots of patterns of designer paper.  First layer is the trees angled to the side.  Next, a more muted layer of snowflakes, then a plaid oval.  The tree is kept fairly plain and simple.  It's stamped on Whisper White with Garden Green and has a gold glimmer star on top.  The finishing touches are a trio of small gold stars and a simple sentiment.

I hope you will join the challenge this week and make a card of your own!  Just go to Create with Connie and Mary for all the details plus more great samples from the Design Team.  You can also find more details about the Holiday Collection which is going strong in week three right now.  It's not to late to subscribe and join in the fun!

Thanks for visiting!  Happy stamping!

White Christmas for TSSC338

I'm back for card number two!  This one is for the Monday Lunchtime Sketch Challenge from Technostamper.  Per ususal, Mary Jo has an awesome sketch for us.

I usually don't make square cards, I adapt the sketch to a standard size.  But this time, I went ahead and used the square design to create a beautiful frosty winter scene card with White Christmas.

Is this the perfect winter scene or what?!  Like I said earlier...I love this sweet little bear.  So for this scene, I had him standing on the hill looking up at a Christmas cardinal.

The card base is Pool Party with a square of All is Calm Designer paper in the center.  I also added in Lost Lagoon Taffeta ribbon (so yummy!) and Silver Glimmer paper.  These frosty elements set up the focal point beautifully.  The snow seems real with the Dazzling Details shimmering along the hill.  The bear is stamped separately and added to the card with a small bit of dimensional.  He looks more realistic when standing on the snow with a shadow below him.  The trees and cardinal are stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with Blendabilities.  There is a hint of blue in the sky made by Soft Sky re-inker and alcohol in a spritzer.  The sky color was actually added in first, I simply masked off the hill with a post it and spritzed the color on.

I loved this card so much, I ended up making two with different designs of the All is Calm paper.

Well, I hope you are feeling inspired to make a card and join us!  Just go to Technostamper for all the details plus more great samples from the Design Team.

White Christmas for CCC19

Monday's here (already!) and as usual I have two cards to share.  This first post is for the Creative Challenge Club sketch.

In keeping with the Christmas cards I've been working on the last few weeks, I made a card with White Christmas for the challenge.

I just LOVE the sweet little polar bear in this set.   When I saw a bag of fake snow at the Dollar Tree, I bought it knowing I would make great shaker cards with this set.

The frosty All is Calm Designer Paper is so beautiful with the white snow in the shaker.  Kind of makes you feel cold looking at it!  Per usual I used window sheet and dimensionals to construct the shaker.  The cut out for the scene is one of the Chalk Talk framelits, it fit perfectly.

I added in a few other details to make the card extra special.  A couple of snowflakes with rhinestones on the shaker brighten up the focal point.  And of course I always add in stars and silver glimmer paper!

I hope you are feeling inspired to join the challenge with us!  Just go to the Creative Challenge Club for all the details plus more great samples from the Design Team.

Festival of Trees Gift Tags

Today I have some Christmas gift tags to share using Festival of Trees.  I made two different types of tags, one shaker and one with stars punched out.

First was the shaker tag with a punch out of the tree.

The tag is made up of two layers of cardstock.  The top layer is the specialty paper Under the Tree.  It's a beautiful heavy weight paper with designs on both sides like the lighter weight designer paper.  The paper is die cut with a circle framelit and the top layer punched with the Tree Punch.  I used window sheet and dimensionals to make the shaker portion then just add in a few stars and sequins.

Next, I tried another style of gift tag using the Confetti Star Punch.

This tag also uses two circles of cardstock.  But this time they are adhered together and the bottom layer shows through the stars punched on top.  The tree added to the top was actually a left over from another project.  I always keep any extra punches or pieces in a little container, you never know when they will be useful later!  The last touch was the new gold glitz on the tree for sparkle.

This tag also used leftovers, the stars and cardinal were already made.  I simply punched a tree from Trim the Tree Designer Paper and added the embellishments.

A big thanks to Patty Bennett for the inspiration!  She challenged us (her downline) this week to make something besides a card with Festival of Trees.   I hope you enjoyed the results and make some tags of your own!
