Oh Joyful Day collection - Christmas Shaker Tags trio

 Hi crafty friends! I have a trio of shaker Christmas tags to share today. As soon I saw the new tag die set from the Essentials Holiday collection from Spellbinders I just had to make a set of shaker tags! They are all decorated with elements from the new collection Oh Joyful Day which features a card making kit, Scrapbooking Kit and several individual addon products like sentiment stickers and chipboard embellishments.

ESSENTIAL TAGS DIE SET AND OH JOYFUL DAY COLLECTION

 

To make my shaker tags, I used the largest tag die from the new Essential Tags die set as the base. I made a frame with the largest and 3rd largest die. I then die cut the "twine tab" and adhered it at the top. I filled my tags with a variety of shaker elements from my stashI decorated the tags with elements from the Card Making kit and the Oh Joyful Day Cardstock Ephemera pack. I love love the colors in the collection and the ephemera! If you missed the cards I made using this collection, you can find them HERE.

Aren't these fun? There are so many elements in the kit you could make as many tags as your heart desires! 

Tag 1

Tag 2

Tag 3

It was hard to stop at just 3, but I have another fall wax seal card I'm working on and didn't want to get too distracted. I love how these turned out! 

Thank you so much for stopping by and have a great day!

Peace on Earth BetterPress card with wax seal

 Hi everyone! I have pretty BetterPress Christmas card to share today. All the products I used are part of the Sealed Pretty Christmas 3D collection released last month. This collection features a fun ribbon box, 3 new 3D wax seal stamps, a floral stems BetterPress plate, new silicone spoons, wax warmer and LOTS of new wax bead mixes and colors!

I made 3 Ribbon Boxes using parts of this collection and if you missed them you can find them posted HERE.

SEALED POINSETTIA STEMS PRESS PLATE AND POINSETTIA 3D WAX SEAL

My card uses the gorgeous Sealed Poinsettia Stems press plate. I pressed it on Porcelain cotton card with the BetterPress black ink. I colored the image with Zig markers and added pops of red shimmer with a Glitter Brush markers.

For the sentiment, I foiled one of the sentiments from the press plate set and set it inside a blank wax seal made with the 1" circle wax seal stamp. I used the Must Have Christmas wax bead mix for my colors. There are 3 sentiments in the set that are sized and cut with a 1" circle die and I discovered they fit PERFECTLY in the blank wax seal!

For the envelope seal, I used the Poinsettia 3D Wax Seal stamp with the same Must Have Christmas bead mix and inked the raised images with the DecoColor Gold pen. AND if you work with wax seals, Spellbinders just started carrying the silicone spoons in a 2 pack and it's a MUST have to help get the wax out of your spoons!!

PLAYFUL PENGUINS AND LAYERING SNOWFLAKES DIE SET

The Playful Penguins die set features 3 penguins and a few accessories including hats, sweater and mittens, a wreath and gift. So cute!

Spellbinders July 2024 Small Die, Wax Seal and Stencil of the Month

 Hi everyone! It's been a super busy few weeks and I almost forgot to post my second card using the July Spellbinders Club Kits! Today I'll be sharing inspiration for the Stencil of the Month and Wax Seal of the Month. If you missed my card using the Small Die of the Month you can find it HERE.

This month's theme is Christmas in July and each of the sets are fabulous!

Continuing Subscriptions will charge on the 5th of each month, which means existing Club Members will be able to cancel subscriptions or make edits to payment or shipping info up until the 4th of each month. 

JULY 2024 SMALL DIE, STENCIL AND WAX SEAL OF THE MONTH

 

This month's Small Die is called "Skating into the Holidays" and features an ice skate along with gorgeous poinsettia flower and lots of greenery and berries to adorn it.

The Stencil set is called "Sprigs and Bow" and has 3 layering stencils and a mask for the bow portion. I only used the 2 sprigs stencils for my background. The berries accent berries in the sprigs are stenciled on with Ruby Glitter Pops of Color, and it's the perfect amount of sparkle!

The Wax Seal is called "Joyful Snowflake" and is a perfect simple single snowflake that is sized the entire wax seal stamp. It's so lovely!

I wanted to add a poinsettia cluster and have my wax seal peeking out from the petals, but I didn't want to cover up the pretty stenciled background. So I made an open frame using oen of my go-to basic shape dies sets, the Nested Postage Labels & Tag die set. I think it gives the perfect frame for the cluster and sentiment and allows the background to be seen.

I love how this turned out.

It features:

6 BetterPress plate sets (2 are backgrounds)

1 background cover plate (super dainty and beautiful)

3 gorgeous die sets

1 new label shape (Emerald cut)

3 sentiment sets (2 BetterPress and 1 die set)

1 3D embossing folder (Argyle Plaid)

Whew!! It's worth your time to check it out in it's entirety.

CANDY CANES AND HOLLY, POINSETTIA SPRAY AND CHRISTMAS BLOOMS DIE SETS

 

Both my cards use the die set called Candy Canes and Holly die set and are accented with Christmas poinsettias and greenery from the new Poinsettia Spray die set and the oldie but goodie die set, Christmas Blooms. The sentiments are from Comfort and Joy Sentiment glimmer foiled with red foil.

The background for this card is the new Argyle Plaid 3D embossing folder. I love this folder! I can see using it year round, not just for Christmas. I lightly inked it with a minty ink. My candy canes are the traditional red and white and I added a bit of Stickles for a pop of glitter. I used the new Poinsettia Spray die set for my accent flowers and the holly greenery is from the Candy Canes and Holly die set and added some emerald Essential Gems for the final bits of bling.

The background for this card is from the Peppermint 6x8 paper pad. My favorite kind of candy canes are the spearmint ones and I just had to make a card with a nod to my favs. I used Christmas Blooms die set for my accent flowers and greenery and added some red Essential Gems for some bling.

I love ho both of these turned out. Stay tuned for a few more cards using this collection!
