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.

"Wishes Come True" Paper Trey Ink

Just a quick upload for today. I made a card for my niece, Sydney. Her birthday was on the 23rd of October but we are celebrating with the family today. She is a character and always makes me laugh!

Isn't she beautiful? Since she turned 11, I used Paper Trey Ink's "Wishes Come True" set and made the number out of the candles. Purple is Syd's favorite color so I decided to use it as the main color for the card. I added some sequins and some orange Stickles to round it all out.

Thanks for looking. I hope you have a fabulous Saturday!!

Throw Back Thursday and a Happy Halloween!!!

Happy Halloween!! 

Is everyone ready for some Trick or Treating? I know my daughter is. She will be dressing up as a medical officer from the original Star Trek. Her father has her hooked!!

To commemorate Halloween AND it being Thursday, I thought I would create a card using a Halloween Stamp from my archives. This stamp was from Stampin Up! set "Costume Bears." It was retired years ago but I thought it was so cute that I kept it. I have so many sets of stamps that I barely use that I am going to try to dig them out and do a series of "throw back" Thursdays using my older stamp sets.

I first stamped the bear and then cut it out using the end of one of the PTI Half and Half Die. I then colored in the bear using various Copic Markers. I then layered patterned paper and card stock in yellow, black, and purple on the front of a card. Next I adhered the stamped image using foam adhesive. I die cut three stars and adhered two with foam tape and one with general adhesive in a random way across the card. The last step was to cover the stars on the stamped bear's costume and the three die cut stars in diamond Stickles. I LOVE the way this turned out. Isn't it so cute?

I hope you all have a fabulous Halloween!! Don't eat too much candy! (I know I will. I made the mistake of buying the kind I like!)

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!!
