Christmas Tags

Posted on November 28, 2015 12:04 PM by Julie 1 Comment

This is another for today’s IC521 Challenge. I don’t make near enough tags & I was inspired by THESE cute tags Sabrina made. And since I used scraps & leftovers, they were very quick to make.

I stamped the images on kraft after I die cut the tag shape and used a combination of Copics to color & a white Prismacolor pencil to highlight. Then I overstamped w/ Versafine before taking them out my Misti. I had the little snippets of white trim so I matched up the bottoms of the tags & cut them to insert the white trims. The twine was added along w/ a little dimensional snow type stuff on the Santa hats.

These are the Copics I used on the individual tags.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Supplies:

Stamps: DRS Designs – Billboard Leonard, Christmas Leonard, Leonard’s Christmas List, Gift Tag Greetings

Paper: white, 2 different shades of kraft

Ink: Memento tuxedo black, Versafine onyx (to overstamp after coloring).

Accessories: Copic markers, Spellbinders bracket border, scallop border & curved border dies, Misti, white Prismacolor pencil, dimensional snow paint, baker’s twine, ODBD tag die (retired)

Christmas Candle Frame

For the Inspiration Challenge (IC521), we are to use a forgotten favorite we have saved. I admit, I had forgotten about the favorite feature on Splitcoast, so my Favorite List is very slim. I did have THIS one from way back & I love the candles so that’s what I picked for my card.

Instead of a stamp, I used a Christmas Candle die & attached it to a white frame w/ designer paper behind it. The center & right candles just have the dp showing thru, but since the left candle is partly on the frame, I added a piece of dp behind it. I added more of the holly on the upper left & also added some inlay pieces to all the the holly leaves. The Merry Christmas was die cut 3 times & stacked so it would sit up higher on top.

Here’s a look at the inside.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Supplies:

Stamps: ODBD – (Christmas Tunes –inside greeting)

Paper: Neenah white, bright metallic gold, dp (ODBD – Christmas Collection 2015),

Ink: (inside- Distress ink fired brick)

Accessories: ODBD Flourished Star Pattern, Christmas Candles, Merry Christmas, Spellbinders A2 matting basics A & B

Autumn Tree

A big congrats to Jo, the newest Featured Stamper (FS458) on Splitcoast! She has such a lovely gallery & I chose THIS to case. I kept the colors & fall theme, but I used different images, a little different layout.

To make my clean & fairly simple card, instead of having a long greeting flag across the bottom like Jo has, I used a layout I’ve used many times because I just love the narrow panel. Usually I’ll inset it, like a window, but this time I thought I’d change it up & have it on top. I cut all the panels first & attached the narrow one w/ temporary adhesive, then stamped the tree. I removed the long narrow panel & stamped the leaves (using the splatter bg) w/ the four colors of distress ink. The pile of leaves was stamped at the bottom & colored w/the same inks & I added the greeting. Then I added a piece of card board behind the narrow panel & put it back.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
