Truckloads of Love Card with Tina

Hello crafters, it’s Tina and today I am featuring the sweet Truckloads of Love stamp and die set again. But this time we go holiday themed. I love that this set is so versatile, it can be used all year round. And how cute are the critters!!

For this festive card I selected one of the ornament dies from my stash and cut it from white Neenah paper. You can create this shape yourself with any circle die you have and a rectangle for the topper. The scalloped edge can be achieved with several dies like the Ribbon & Lace Border Dies. I inked the inside of the ornament with pink Distress Oxide inks Kitsch Flamingo and Worn Lipstick, leaving the bottom part white. Of course, I had to add splatters too!

Since this is a winter Holiday card, I wanted to replicate a snowy, frosty look around the borders of the ornament. First, I glued the pink panel into place and added an acetate layer on top. Next, I added the white circle border with topper. I searched through my stash to find a white pigment ink, which I then applied all around the borders of the circle with a small blending brush. This also gave me an indication of how wide I wanted my frosty border to be. Next, I used a glue bottle with a fine tip and glue that dries clear. Then it was time for the fun part: adding all the sparkly glitter (I use a dedicated box for this, if not my desk is a real mess!!).

While the glue was drying, I selected my images from the Truckloads of Love stamp set. I chose the truck, the Christmas tree, and the cute raccoon. All the coloring was done with Copic Markers, and I added some snowflakes with a white gel pen.

The large Merry Christmas sentiment was stamped with red ink from my stash and cut with the matching dies (Holiday Greetings stamp and die set). I mounted the images and sentiment onto the ornament shape with foam tape. The topper was cut from white glitter paper, and I added a little pink bow to make the card extra festive!

Thank you for joining me and I am wishing you a wonderful holiday season!

Winter Scenes Card with Bobbi

Hello friends! It’s Bobbi and I am sharing a card today that features the Winter Scene stamps and dies. These stamps set the stage for many different wintery fun scenes like ice skating on a lake, a penguin habitat complete with an igloo, adorable log cabins nestled in the woods, a ski resort and more. For my card, I am using the scene stamps to create a winter wonderland for a pair of happy snow people. They’re enjoying a colorful snowfall from above. The snowmen are from the set called Snowman Kisses.

To make this 5″ X 7″ card, I stamped the background scene using the Winter Scene stamps. My card is 7″ wide so I extended the lines and stamped a singular tree on each side of the scene to fill the gaps and extend the scene to 7 inches. Because I plan to send this card in the mail, I stamped the snowmen right on the front panel (i.e., for a one-layer card) to avoid any unnecessary bulk on the card front. I colored the background and foreground using Copic Sketch Markers. 

You’ll notice that I shaded below the trees and snowmen for dimension. I like to use  blue-violet and blue colors for the shadows on snow. It helps to ground the images, too. I typically use B00, B000, B0000, BV000, BV00, and BV13. Everything else was colored in bright colors.

To complete the card, I stamped the “happy holidays” sentiment from the Holiday Greetings stamp set in two shades of pink and cut it using the coordinating dies. I attached the sentiment in the lower right corner. Lastly, I added colorful snow that reminds me of candy sprinkles on a Christmas cookie. I love that the snow people have their hands extended out to catch the falling snowflakes!

Pretty Poinsettia Tags with Marine

Hey crafty friends, Marine here with you today, I'm back with this set of three Christmas shaker tags showcasing Pretty Poinsettia, a gorgeous and very easy to use layering stamp set. Every year, I like to create tags, you can put them on presents, hang them in the Christmas tree or in the house, etc. I personally send them to my crafty friends abroad along with a holiday card.

I knew I wanted to have three poinsettias on each tag, so, with the help of the layering guide on the Pretty Poinsettia product page, I started off by stamping nine poinsettias on 80lb Neenah solar white cardstock using the different layering stamps from the set along with Lawn Fawn dye inks: for the first layer (1a) I used peachy keen, for the second layer (1b) I used guava, and for the third layer (1c) I used lobster. Next I used my heat gun to dry the inks and prevent them from mixing into each other, I gold heat embossed the center of each poinsettia, and then cut my nine poinsettias using the matching die.

I gold heat embossed several leaves using the stamps 2a and 3a. And next I used Altenew dye inks to create green leaves. For the first layers (2a and 3a) I used frayed leaf, and for the second layers (2b alternate and 3b alternate) I used forest shades. And I used the matching dies to cut all the leaves.

While I was into the stamping process, I took the advantage of the opportunity to white heat emboss three Holiday Greetings on vellum that I cut using the coordinating dies.

Next I worked on the shaker tags, and started off by cutting all the different elements in three using the Scalloped Tag Square die set: the front panel out of red cardstock (and I used a smaller square die from my stash to cut an opening inside of each of those panels), acetate panels, vellum panels and All Is Bright panels. And here is how I built each shaker tag:

1. Attach the acetate panel at the back of the red panel using liquid glue along the four edges

2. Still at the back of that red panel, add foam strips on the four edges, use a powder tool along the inside edges of the foam to make it non sticky, clean the acetate using a cloth, and pour some shaker accessories on the acetate (here I used gold sequins from my stash)

3. Attach the vellum panel on top of the pattern paper panel using liquid glue along the four edges (this step is optional, I did this to mute the colors on the pattern papers a little bit)

4. Attach your vellum + pattern paper panel at the back of the red panel, directly on the foam strips to close the shaker tag

Next I created a handle at the top of each tag using gold thread, and added bows for more cuteness. And then I attached all the elements (poinsettias, leaves and greetings) on the tags using 3mm glue dots mostly to stick really well on the acetate, and also 1mm foam squares. And to add more shine to those tags, I added clear droplets here and there directly on the poinsettias.

And that's it! Those shaker tags were so fun to make, and stamping the poinsettias and seeing them taking shape was quite satisfying. I hope you will find inspiration in today's projects. Thanks so much for stopping by, and see you next week with more poinsettias, but in a different way!

Dashing Dachshund Card with Isha

Hello everyone! Isha here with another festive theme card featuring the adorable Dashing Dachshund stamp and dies. This card can be mass produced and the ombre sponging and sentiment takes it up a level.

I started by die-cutting the semi circle from the Stitched Semi-Circle die. Sponge clouds using a cloud mask I made from the Slimline Nature Border dies. I used salty ocean distress ink for this. Now apply more salty ocean, blueprint sketch and chipped sapphire distress oxide inks to create the depth. Stamp the smaller of the snowflakes from the set. Flick some ink and white paint splatters.

Stamp the bigger snowflake. Stamp the images, color using copic markers and die-cut using coordinating dies. Add glitter to parts of the images. Stamp the sentiment from the Holiday Greetings stamp set using various blue inks for an ombrè look. Die-cut using the coordinating dies. Die-cut the sentiment 3 more times using red card and stack them behind the sentiment. Adhere pattern paper from the Joyful Holiday paper pack to a white card base. Assemble the card. 

Thank you for dropping by and have a nice day.

Bells & Baubles Card with Isha

Stamp the fir leaves to the top and bottom of this panel. Next I stamped the images from the Bells & Baubles stamp set, die-cut using the coordinating dies. 

Stamp the sentiment from the Holiday Greetings stamp set using veramark ink. Sprinkle WOW! platinum embossing powder and heat set. Die-cut using the coordinating dies.

Holiday Gift Tags with Isha and Kavya

Hello everyone! Isha here and today we are sharing some gift tags with you. I decided to take the tag from the Mini Mat and Tag 3 dies and created four tags with different techniques.

For tag 1 and 2, I die-cut the tags using some light blue cardstock. Sponge distress inks salty ocean, chipped sapphire and black soot distress inks. On the first tag, I stamped the poinsettia from the Classy Christmas stamp set using versamark ink and then sprinkle WOW! metallic gold rich embossing powder, heat set. Add sparkle using Nuvo shimmer pen in midas touch. Flick gold paint to this. I added white pencil outline to the florals to pop them up a bit. Add the sentiment from the Inside Greetings - Holiday stamp set. Add a red bow for a pop of colour. 

For the next one, I die-cut some gold snowflakes using the Lacy Snowflakes dies. Adhere to the tag. Add gold splatters. Die-cut a tiny tag from the Window Quad Square die. Sponge salty ocean distress ink. Stamp the berries from the Winter Wreaths stamp, die-cut using the coordinating dies. Stamp the fir leaves from the Holiday Greetings stamp and die-cut using the coordinating dies. Stamp the sentiment and assemble everything together.

Tag 3 and 4: I die-cut some stripes of coloured cardstock and also a gold glitter paper. Adhere to the tag. Flick gold paint. Stamp the sentiment from the Holiday Express stamp set. Die-cut some snowflakes from the Lacy Snowflakes. Adhere to the tag.

For the next tag, I die-cut it twice. Die-cut the window from one of the tags. Sponge wilted violet distress ink to one piece. Flick gold paint and stamp the sentiment. Adhere the window tag using 3d foam to the sponged tag. Adhere the images.

Hope these gave you some ideas for those last moment tags for your gifts. Thank you for dropping by!

Hi folks. Kavya here with another fun holiday project! If you are looking for some adorable gift tags this Christmas, this one is for you!  

I started off by creating a base by die cutting patterned paper from  All Is Bright 6x6 Paper using Mini Mat & Tag 4 Dies. Then, I die cut the top of the tag using Rose Gold cardstock and used some embroidery floss as well!

Then, I heat embossed the gingerbread houses from Jolly Gingerbread Stamp and later stamped and colored some gingerbread cookies from the same set. 

That’s it! I was done! I hope you liked this fun project ;) Happy Crafting!

Holiday Gift Tags with Bobbi and Cathy

Have you hung your stockings by the chimney with care? It’s Bobbi here with two stockings to hang, but these are for hanging on your gifts! Every year we hang stockings on our fireplace and fill them with little items for the twins. Those are the first gifts they open on Christmas day. Sometimes the little gifts are too big for the stocking so these tags will be perfect to use. 

The first stocking is made from coordinated pattern papers from the Joyful Holiday Paper Pack. It features a large, stamped Holiday Greetings stamp sentiment, cut out using the coordinating dies. I added the holly and bow from the Santa's Stocking die set and a few peppermint candies using dies from the Gingerbread House die set. I embossed the white 80lb Neenah Solar White cardstock accent pieces – reinforced toe, heel and top stocking band – using the Cable Knit Embossing Folder. How cute is that cable knit design?!

I added red faux stitching on the white accent pieces (so you could see it) and stitched the outer edges using white thread and my sewing machine. Because this stocking is larger, I wanted to avoid having to turn the tag over when on the gift. Instead, I attached the smallest tag from the Stitched Arch Dies to the holly bouquet at the band and stamped a “to/from” on the tag in black. The “to/from” stamps are from the Season’s Greetings Sentiments stamp set. There are several styles to choose from which are really awesome to have for your tags.

For my second stocking, I used many of the same products to create this festive tag. Notice the tab for hanging the stocking at the top. I simply cut a strip from the two-sided pattern paper and attached it with glue. Both stockings have a white die cut backing, allowing the tab to be glued between the stocking die cuts for a clean finish.

The candy canes, holly and berries are part of the Santa's Stockings die set. I added another to/from tag to the candy cane accent. These stockings are adorable and big enough to add names to the band to personalize. Keep the top open and it becomes a festive gift card holder, too!

Hey friends! Cathy here today and with Christmas just days away, I’m sharing some cute and quick-to-make gift tags!

For these tags, I’ve used the Mini Mat & Tag 1 Dies and I started by die-cutting the tag from a medium weight light gray cardstock for a little extra stability. Next, I die-cut the tag again from white cardstock and inked a sky with Speckled Egg Distress ink. I heat embossed a sentiment on each tag using the Lazy Christmas Stamps, Penguin Party Stamps, and Bear Hugs Stamps. I cut the bottom scalloped portion of the tags off and adhered them to the gray tag bases.

 

Next, I die-cut patterned papers from the All is Bright Paper and Joyful Holiday Paper using the thin strip and tag topper dies and adhered them to the tags. For the snowdrift on each tag, I die-cut the Tropical Trees Backdrop Die 3 times from white cardstock, adhered a “sand” portion of the die-cut across the bottom of each tag and trimmed the excess from the sides of the tags.

 

I stamped the polar bears from the Bear Hugs Stamps and the Santa hats from the Reindeer Games Stamps on Neenah Classic Crest 80lb solar white cardstock, colored them with Copics and fussy cut each image. Those little Santa hats fit so many Sunny Studio critters and look so cute!

 

To finish, I die-cut hole protectors from gray cardstock using a die from the Mini Mat & Tag 4 Dies and tied some sparkly ribbon to each tag. I stamped some holly and berries from the Holiday Greetings Stamps, die-cut them using the coordinating dies and adhered them to the top of each tag. For a little extra bling, I adhered Pure White Jewels over the holes on each tag topper.

 

I hope you enjoyed and thanks for stopping by today! For more inspiration, please visit my blog www.inkredibleadventures.com and you can also find me on Instagram as @cathy.chapdelaine.
