Silver Bells Winter Hues Jingle Bells Christmas Card with Nancy

Hey there Sunny fans, Nancy here today with a colorful look at the Silver Bells die set. What better way to create a fun card than with a season's greeting full of jingle! This super quick and easy card was created with winter hues of purple and blue for an interesting alternative to a traditional Christmas palette.

I started this card by die cutting five jingle bells out of cardstock in different hues ranging from light magenta to navy. They were placed across the front of the card in a staggered shape to create movement. One of the bells was embellished with a row of tiny enamel dots.

To add some spice to the very clean look of the die cut jingle bells, I wanted a sentiment with a dash of drama. The Festive Greetings stamp set has so many great sentiments that are perfect for a clean and simple card. I thought the card needed one more line of text in a contrasting color, so I used the "to you" from the PetitePoinsettias stamp set. It adds a pop of color and underlines the main sentiment.

Pick up the Silver Bells die set to create your next batch of holiday goodness!

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.
