A Very Merry Christmas Tags

Happy Tuesday Peeps!!!

Today I am sharing some gift tags I made using the Stampin Up Reason for the Season stamp set.

I used the chalkboard technique for these,

The poinsettia is made using the Festive Flower Builder Punch.

I used basic black card stock for the tags and stamped the sentiment with Versamark and then embossed using white embossing powder,

I sponged the edges and a bit around the middle of the tag using my whisper white kraft ink.

The flower is added using a few dimesionals.

The centers are some gold little pearls I had in my stash.

I used some Real Red Ribbon for the tops.

Linking this to the Stamp, Ink Paper Challenge this week which is Winter Holiday

Thanks for stopping by today.

Happy Monday Peeps!!!

Today I am sharing a card I made using the sketch this week at Freshly Made Sketches.

I used the Stampin Up set Reason for them Season for my sentiment  which is done using the chalkboard technique.

My Poinsettia is done with Real Red ink and card stock and the Reason for the Season set and Festive Flower Builder punch. The leaves are done with Mossy Meadow card stock.

The base of the card is Very Vanilla and then a layer of Basic Black followed by a piece of DSP from the This Christmas Specialty pack. 

I added some real red ribbon and silver cording behind the image for the horizontal element in the sketch. I am so bad at the messy swirls and ribbon behind the main elemnt thing that is trendy right now, but working on it! Lol!!

Another Christmas card done, I made some matching gift tags using this Chalkboard technique I will show them to you later. 

Thanks so much for stopping by today.

Happy Saturday Peeps!!!

Today I am sharing a card I made using the sketch this week at Freshly Made Sketches.

I changed mine up a bit, I made my card a square.

I love this big ol Poinsettia, I used the Reason for the Season stamp set and Festive flower Builder Punch.

I stamped the flower with Real Red ink onto Real Re card stock and used the matching punch to punch it all out.

I layered the flower petal up using dimensionals between the layers.

I made a few green leaves using Old Olive ink and Old Olive cardstock.

I used a bit of Crushed Curry for the flower center and a gold sequin finished it up.

I then used one of the dies from the Flowering Flourishes die set and die cut a few gold berries. I added them around the Poinsettia.

The sentiment is from the Joyful Season stamp set.

thanks so much for stopping by today!

Happy Wednesday Peeps!

Sorry for the long silence here on the blog, but I 'm back with a pretty little Christmas card for the new  challenge at The Card Concept Blog.

Here is our inspiration photo for this week:

Don't you love that photo, I took my inspiration from the colors, the poinsettias and the overall country feel of the photo.

I started out making my Poinsettia. I used Cherry Cobbler, and Mossy Meadow. I stamped the veins in the leaves in the same color as the paper and sponged the edges.

I used some gold foil paper for the center.

The base of the card is Crumb Cake card stock and then a layer of the gold foil. I then used a layer of Corrugated Paper. love that stuff! I made my banner using some of the Gold Fancy Foil Designer Vellum. 

I added the flower to the card with some dimensionals. I used some of the burlap ribbon that I cut apart and pulled out the strings to tuck around the flower. I then added a few little gold sticky back pearls.

The sentiment is from the Endless Wishes stamp set.

The card is a 5 inch square and would probably be better to add to a gift and not to mail. :)

Be sure and head over to the Card Concept Blog to see what the rest of the team did with this inspiration challenge.
