Santa Claus Lane Tags with Marine

Hello crafty friends, Marine here, I'm back with a trio of Christmas tags I made with a mix & match of images from different sets. I really like making tags all year round, and the last ones go back to the 4th of July, so it was extra fun to put these together after all this time.

I started off by cutting three tag panels using the largest Scalloped Tag Square die and three different pattern papers from the Polka Dot Parade paper pack. I mixed copic opaque white ink with water and added white splatters on the three panels, and then did the same with liquid stardust for sparkles. I cut three more tag panels out of white cardstock, and attached a polka dot panel to a white panel using liquid glue.

Next I stamped my images on 110lb Neenah solar white cardstock using Memento tuxedo black ink, I cut them all with the coordinating dies and colored everything with my Ohuhu markers and Graph'it brush markers in a non-traditional holiday color palette. Here is a detailed list of the stamp sets I used: • Cozy Christmas - Christmas trees, presents • Reindeer Games - Santa • North Pole - nice list, Santa • Santa Claus Lane - presents, sack, Santa • Snowmen In Sweaters - snowflakes.

Once the coloring was done, I added highlights and details to my images using a white gel pen, added a dot of glossy accents to each light in the Christmas trees to make them shine, and then attached my images on each tag using 1mm and 2mm foam squares, creating three super cute little scenes.

I used the Build A Greeting Holidays stamp set to stamp my sentiments: "Happy Holidays", "Merry Christmas" and "Season's Greetings". I added silver twine through the hole at the top of each tag, and then glued sparkling double bows to finish them nicely.

And that's it! I hope that you like those three lovely non-traditional holiday tags. Thanks so much for stopping by, and see you next time!

Santa Claus Lane & North Pole Christmas Cards with Mendi

Hello and welcome! This is Mendi here today, popping in to share some Christmas cards featuring our Santa Claus Lane Stamps and North Pole Stamps.

My first card today, showcasing our Santa Claus Lane Stamps, is a rare creation for me because it utilizes only a single stamp set. I blended three large dots onto my card front using Salvaged Patina, Kitsh Flamingo, and Twisted Citron Distress inks to create a way to ground three mini scenes created with the images from the set. First, I have Santa holding a candy cane going down the chimney. My next scene has the other Santa from the set next to a decorated Christmas tree using the included ornaments, star, and gifts. My last scene along the bottom of my card has Santa standing next to the fireplace with four stockings hanging from the mantel. As a finishing touch, I stamped a greeting from the set in my card's top, right corner.

For my second card I used Mrs. Claus, Santa in a new pose, two elves, and the sign from our North Pole Stamps, with the reindeer from Reindeer Games Stamps, and the sleigh and bags of toys from the Santa Claus Lane Stamps. To set the mood of the North Pole in my background, I inked my sky using Salty Ocean Distress Ink, added snowflakes with a white gel pen, and then layered in the snowy fir trees and hills using the Scene Route Stamps. Lastly, I stamped the "Spreading Christmas Cheer" sentiment from the North Pole set onto a thin pennant strip from the Notebook Photo Corners Dies.

That wraps up my projects for today. Thanks so much for hanging out with me. I hope I've inspired you to spread a little happiness by sending out a card to someone you love. 💛

Cozy Christmas & Cat Antics Card with Marine

Hello crafty friends, Marine here, I'm super happy to be back with this new busy slimline card featuring some cheeky kitties on Christmas night. They're all gathered around the fireplace, napping, chilling and waiting for Santa to bring more presents! Let's hope that the Christmas tree stays up a few more minutes!

I started off by stamping the images on 110lb Neenah solar white cardstock using Memento tuxedo black ink, I cut them all with the coordinating dies, and colored everything with my Ohuhu markers.

As always, here is a detailed list of the stamp sets I used: • Cat Antics - cats, balls of yarn • Cozy Christmas - Christmas tree, armchairs, glass of milk, side tables, lamps, presents, cushion • Santa Claus Lane - fireplace, presents, stockings • Purrfect Birthday - mouse toy • North Pole - cookies • Penguin Party - hats • Bunnyville - carrot.

For the armchairs, I stamped them a second time on a Joyful Holiday gingham red paper, fussy cut them, added shadows to each piece using red markers and then attached each red armchair to a white one. This way we have a nice pattern on the armchairs and still have the white border around the images. When all the coloring was done, I added highlights and details to the images using a white gel pen, and added a dot of glossy accents to each light in the Christmas tree.

Next I cut a slimline panel out of Strathmore bristol smooth cardstock using a Slimlime Scalloped Frame die, masked the stitched edges off with washi tape, and divided it in two parts using washi tape again to create wallpaper on the upper section and the floor on the lower section. I first covered the top section with tattered rose oxide ink, and then created a vertical stripe pattern using the Straight Stripes stencil along with saltwater taffy oxide ink. I mixed some of that ink with water and added splatters to my panel, I did the same with festive berries oxide ink for more contrast, the same with copic opaque white ink for brightness and then the same again with liquid stardust because every Christmas scene needs sparkles!

Next I covered the floor section with antique linen oxide ink, added a bit of vintage photo oxide ink at the very bottom of my panel and blended the colors with my antique linen blending tool. I mixed some vintage photo oxide ink with water and added brown splatters to the floor section, and then did the same with white ink.

When my panel was dry, I stamped my "Wishing you a purrfect Christmas" greeting in black right in the top center of my panel. "Wishing you a purrfect" is from Birthday Cat and "Christmas" is from Santa Claus Lane. Next I attached all the images on my panel using 1mm and 2mm foam squares.

I attached my panel to an 8 x 3 inches kraft panel using 1mm foam tape. I cut a scalloped panel out of yellow cardstock using another Slimline Scalloped Frame die and stuck the kraft panel to it using liquid, and then I attached my yellow panel to an 8,5 x 3,5 inches red card base using 1mm foam tape. 

And that's it! Thank you so much for stopping by, and see you next week!
