Snow Flurries & Frosty Flurries Snowy Background Tags with Eloise

Hi everyone, Eloise here today and I'll be using the Snow Flurries and Frosty Flurries stamp sets to create some simple backgrounds for some tags. As well as the Playful Polar Bears, Tag Topper Crescent Dies, Fishtail Banners Dies and Merry Word Dies. 

To begin my tags, I first took some watercolour cardstock, cut them down to 2 3/4" wide and used the Tag Topper Crescent Dies and Fishtail Banners dies to cut the top and bottom of each tag. Once I cut all four tags, I took a hole punch and punched a hole in the top of each tag. I then went ahead and used the Snow Flurries and Frosty Flurries stamp sets to stamp onto each tag. I did two of each design. I then clear heat embossed them. 

Next up, I used Faded Jeans, Peacock Feathers and Salty Ocean a Distress Oxide Inks to ink blend on each of the tags. Leaving white at the bottom too resemble snow. Now my tag bases were done, I stamped out four Polar Bears sitting with four objects to hold in their hands. I coloured each with Copic Markers using traditional holiday colours. I then used the coordinating dies to cut the Bears and accessories out. I popped them up on foam tape and adhered them to the center on each tag. 

For my sentiment I used the Merry die and cut four Merry's out of gold foil cardstcok. Then because I felt like they got lost being adhered onto the tag without a backer, I cut strips of black cardstock to adhered behind them and adhered them on with foam tape also. To finish up the tags I threaded through some red and white and brown twine at the top and tied some bows. 

That finished up my tags for today. I hope you enjoyed! Thanks so much for stopping by and I'll see you next time.

Turtley Awesome Birthday Card Set with Emily

Today, I'm sharing a duo of cards featuring the Turtley Awesome stamp set and coordinating dies. I wanted to use it on a birthday card, since that's the main theme of the stamp set but I also wanted to use it for a Valentine's Day/love card to show its versatility. It would be fun to create a card with one upside-down turtle and a get well sentiment. Haha!

Here are the cards on their own. Which one do you like better? The adorable turtles were so fun to colour. I could imagine myself colouring a whole bunch in different colours!

I used the Fishtail Banners dies to dry emboss the patterns at the top and bottom of the panels for visual interest since the layout is clean and simple.

I love the little details that distinguish the boy and girl turtle, namely the eyelashes and scalloped shell. Aren't they the cutest turtles you've ever seen? This stamp set may be small but it sure packs a lot!

Last-Minute Holiday Tags with Video by Emily

I'm here with some last-minute holiday tags using Santa's Helpers, Crescent Tag Topper Dies, Traditional Tag Topper Dies and Fishtail Banners Dies. The images were coloured a few weeks ago so it was easy to throw these tags together. See how I assembled the tags here:

I love how these animals look just like my friends' pets! It's perfect when you can personalize gifts. I could easily turn these tags into cards by attaching them to a card base with some festive paw prints in the background. I love dressing up my tags with basic black and white chevron ribbon, bells and string in both gold and silver.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Simple Gleeful Reindeer Gift Tags with Eloise

Hello everyone, Eloise here and today I'm showing three simple tags using the Gleeful Reindeer stamp set along with the Semi Circle Dies, Fishtail Banner Dies (I and II) and the Merry Die as well. I love creating small scenes on tags - so much fun!

To begin my tags I took some blue cardstock and used the Semi Circles dies to cut off the top of my pieces. I then cut them down to size so I could create arched tags. I then took the Fishtail Banners dies and cut off the bottom of the tags making a upside down v shape on the bottom. Then I took some white cardstock pieces and did the same. I used the Fishtail Banners die on the bottom and then used the Fishtail Banners II set to give the little pierced edge to them, looks so fun! I then used my scissors to cut the top of the white piece, to give it a snowy hill look. I then adhered down the white pieces to the blue tags and cut off the excess. 

To finish up the background on my tags I took a white gel pen and added some dots to look like snow.  I then pulled out the Gleeful Reindeer stamp set and stamped out the reindeers and trees and used my Copic Markers to colour them in. I also used the matching dies to cut them all out. Once they were done I added foam tape and adhered them to my tags. 

For the sentiment I used the Merry die - I love this one and cut it from fun foam and then from silver glitter paper and adhered the two together and then to the bottom of my tags. To finish up my tags I punched a hole and added a silver reinforcer at the tops and then strung through some silver sparkle twine and added a twine bow around the top as well, to make them look a little more finished. I also added some clear wink of stella to my images as well - they have to sparkle, it's Christmas time! :)

Thanks for stopping by today - I hope you got inspired! Check out the rest of the week to see lots of other last minute tag ideas.

Santa' s Helpers Christmas Card with Emily

Doesn't the kitty look snug in that stocking? Santa's Helpers is one of my favourite holiday animal holiday sets! I love colouring them and they are so cute. I coloured all of the images at once so I could make a whole batch of cards. They'll be going to all the friends who have pets or are getting new pets this Christmas.

I heat embossed both the image and the sentiment with sparkle embossing powder so the black outline is super sparkly! It's perfect for holiday cards. I created a diamond-shaped focal point by connecting two banners made with the Fishtail Banners Dies.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Gleeful Reindeer Holiday Card with Emily

Hello!  Emily here with a card featuring the Gleeful Reindeer stamp set which is perfect for all your holiday cards and tags! These little guys are absolutely adorable and there are so many different posts, along with trees, gifts and strings for creating a plethora of scenes.

I used the Fishtail Banners and Fishtail Banner II die sets to create the rooftop for the house, which was dry embossed with a woodgrain embossing folder. After heat embossing the sentiment, I added a wreath from Christmas Icons to balance out the bits of red on the card.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Autumn Splendor Watercolour Leaves Background with Eloise

Hi everyone, Eloise back today featuring the new Autumn Splendor stamps and dies. I love this set so so much and I knew as soon as I saw this set that I had a specific technique in mind for this. I wanted to use my Distress Inks for stamping. Which we all know Distress Inks don't work well for stamping, but if you spritz them with a little water first, you get a decent impression that I knew would work well for these leaves, especially since leaves aren't perfect anyway. 

To begin my card today I first started off with the background. I used a piece of watercolour paper by Tim Holtz since the one he offers is a bright white and I knew a lot of white would be showing today. I then took the stamps from my Autumn Splendour stamp set and put them on different acrylic blocks, it just seemed easier this way. I then inked up the image with a colour of Distress Ink, spritzed a little water (probably from around 20cm (7-8 inches) away) and then stamped down on my cardstock. It takes a little practice to get to know how much water to get on your stamp, but I personally only like it a little wet and not dripping for my stamping - but you have to play around with it a little to get the feel for it right.

Once I stamped all the first layers and the were dry I moved on to the second layers. Did I tell you this is a layering stamp set? It's amazing right?! But it's not an ordinary layering set, the images in this have the half leaves so it works out great. So I just used a darker shade of the same colour in the Distress Ink line, lined it up as best I could (I didn't get it perfect in anyway) and then stamped down, using the same technique as before. I also then used the stem images in the set also and stamped them all down in a brown Distress Ink - I personally didn't bother spritzing for this step, since I didn't feel like it needed it. Once the leaves were done I moved onto the little berries image in the set and filled in some of the gaps, using the same technique as before as well.

Once I was done the background I moved onto my focal point. I used the Fishtail Banner Dies to create a vellum banner for the centre of my card. I then had also stamped some extra leaves onto some more watercolour cardstock and die cut them out. Before adhering them down to the vellum banner, I white heat embossed the 'thank you' sentiment from the set onto some black cardstock and then cut that into a banner shape. I foam mounted that onto the vellum banner and then used flat adhesive as well as dimensional adhesive to adhere all the extra leaves and berries coming out from the banner. Once they were all adhered down I flipped over the vellum banner and put adhesive where it wouldn't show and then stuck it down onto the background. I also used a piece of hemp natural twine to tie a bow at the top of my banner. I used a foam sheet behind my panel to adhere down to a kraft card base. For a finishing touch I used a little Wink of Stella in the clear to put on top of my die cut leaves.

That finished up my card for today, I hope you enjoyed and got inspired. Make sure you stop by the blog for the rest of the week to see how the ladies used this stamp set also! It's gonna be a great week. :)
