Christmas tag

I have loads of scraps gathering up on my table with all my Christmas card making

so I decided I am going to make lots of tags to go along with the cards.

This one matches my Monday card using the new stamp set arriving on 5th September

SIGNS OF SANTA

I layered up white, real red and then some Under the Mistletoe dsp

for my tag base.

I stamped and coloured the little elf, card, presents and sign post,

all of which are cut using my matching dies.

I tore layers of whisper white to add snow along the bottom

and coloured it with Wink of Stella for extra sparkle.

I stamped the to and from, added some dotted lines in real red ink

and glued to the top.

It has been finished off with some nice red ribbon,

tying it so I could also have a loop.

Christmas fun!

I'm teasing you today with a brand new stamp set
which will be released in the Winter Catalogue on 5th September!
It's called

SIGNS OF SANTA
and it contains the cutest little elves, Santa and Mrs Claus
along with lots of bits and pieces to make the perfect Christmas scene!
I have teamed this up with another new stamp set called

SPIRITED SNOWMEN!!

The card is real red card, papers are Under the Mistletoe
and the sentiment is from Labels to Love
all stamped with real red ink pad.
The little Elf has been coloured using some stampin' blends, stampin' write
and promarkers.
It has been embellished with red ribbon and pearls.
Then the whole think has been touched with my Wink of Stella glitter brush
to add that Christmas sparkle!

I hope you like my card.
You will definitely LOVE these sweet stamp sets!

Mint Macaron Daisy

I made this card to match one of the candle boxes from my Thursday tutorial.

I love this sentiment, perfect for those sad occasions we all have to deal

with at some time or another.

I have used:
Daisy Punch
Daisy Delight stamp set
Mint Macaron card
Natures Poem DSP
Natures Twine in Mint Macaron
Gold Faceted Gems
Soft Suede Ink Pad
Layering circle framelits dies

To make the card I cut the card to size, adding some lines on my scoring board
to give some texture. I layered up with the dsp, punching the bottom
to create tales.
I made the daisy by stamping out twice and punching and layering both together
and finishing with a gold gem. I cut the leaves from scraps of the dsp.
I stamped my sentiment using Flourishing Phrases 2 stamp set
in mint macaron ink.
The circles were layered and the card was finished with a bow
in the twine.

Grapefruit Grove Daisy

I have pulled out my Daisy Delight stamp set and punch for my card today.

I have a friend who is very ill at the minute and I needed a card

to send into hospital as she is not allowed any visitors.

I think the Natures Poem dsp along with Grapefruit Grove works perfectly

on this occasion.

The sentiment I have used is from the

Flourishing Phrases stamp set inked up in Grapefruit Grove.

I finished the card with some Nature's Twine in matching colour.

I am showing another sneak peek of my Thursday Tutorial

which I have tied in with the card to hold some candles.
