Penny Black "Cold Nose Warn Heart" tag-Day 2 of Twelve Days of Christmas Christmas Fun

Today I am going to share another tag that I created. This time I used the Penny Black Stamp set "Cold Nose Warm Heart." They have a series of adorable little penguins in holiday poses.

I first stamped my penguin and colored it in using Copic markers. Next I die cut the image with My Favorite Thing's "Pierced Circle Stax." These are my new go to circle dies! I then layered the circle over a PTI die cut snowflake and tag. 

My last step was to put tiny dots of Stickles glitter glue on the stamped snowflakes and embossing paste on the hat to make it look like fur. On the back of the tag, I put a "to" and "love" sentiment. I wasn't sure how much I would like this when I was putting it together but it is one of my favorites that I have made this weekend.

Thank you for stopping by today. I hope you will return tomorrow for an ornament idea. Have a great day!

PaperTrey Ink Tremendous Treat Tags-Day 1 of Twelve Days of Christmas Fun

Happy December 1st! It is hard to believe that it is the last month of the year already. Time has FLOWN BY!! Christmas is just around the corner. Has everybody started their shopping? Mine is slow going. When Thanksgiving is so late, I have a hard time getting into my groove when it comes to shopping.

I have been busy over this Thanksgiving vacation making Christmas tags. I try to make my own tags every year. Some years I am more successful then others but this year I am on a roll. I have had a lot of fun die cutting and coloring stamped images. I am like a kid again!

I have decided to do twelve days of Christmas on my blog because I have made so many projects. Tags, cards and even an ornament or two. I will showcase some of these holiday projects each day for the next thirteen days. (I will take December 7th off with a special post about birthdays. That is my daughter, Char's birthday!!)

The first project I am sharing is a series of three tags. All are similar in design but since I get bored doing the same thing over and over, I mixed it up by switching out the colors. I used PTI's Tremendous Treat Stamps and Dies to create the little rein deer. I colored them in with Copic Markers and embellished them with different colored Stickles glitter glue.

I then used pop dots to layer the deer onto a white tag that I stamped with a sentiment and adhered glitter tape too.

My last step was to embellish the tags with different ribbons and some glittered jingle bells. I apologize for all the glitter that is coming off the tag in the photo above. I didn't notice that when I was photographing this!!

Aren't they cute? I think I am going to have a hard time using these tags on my presents. The tag above with the red is my favorite. What one do you like?

Thanks for stopping by today. Remember to check in tomorrow for another project.

Sizzix-Doodlebug Framelits Baby Card

Hello Peeps!! I hope your day is going well. Just popping in to show you a baby card I created using Sizzix-Doodlebug Design Framelits Die Cutting Template and Clear Acrylic Stamps Baby Boy set. I think the images are adorable and can be used on a girl card as well as a boy. In fact, I chose to make a tag and card set for a baby girl.

I started by die cutting and stamping two giraffes. I then colored them in using the Copic markers below.

Next I printed out my sentiment on an 8 1/2" by 11" piece of white card stock. If I don't have the right sentiment stamp, I will often print one out on a piece of card stock. I used MS Word and estimated where I wanted the sentiment to go. I then cut out the card front and rounded the edges. My next step was to layer a piece of herringbone embossed paper, the doily, the scallop die cut and one giraffe onto the front. The last piece of the puzzle was to add the hearts. I then thought it needed a little something more so I used diamond Stickles to kick them up a notch.

Isn't it cute? My twelve year old daughter told me I should have only used one exclamation point on the sentiment. "It is not proper grammar Mom." Sigh. She is right but I think it looks adorable.

I then die cut a tag, 3 hearts and a banner out of white paper. I layered the banner over the tag, adhered the giraffe using foam tape over the banner and then adhered the three hearts. Like the card, I used diamond Stickles to add a little something more.

That is all for today. I hope this inspires you to create your own baby set. Have a great day!!
