25 Days of Christmas Tags with Franci, Lexa & Mendi

Hello there!  We're so excited to be joining you today to share some fun ideas for holiday gift tags for Day 8 of Tracey McNeely's 25 Days of Christmas Tags!  :)

Hello there! Franci here with you today with some festive tags! I'm super happy to be part of the 25 Days of Christmas Tags 2017 by Tracey!!

I created these tags with the Petite Poinsettias and the Festive Greetings stamp sets. I die cut them with the Tag Topper Dies -Traditional and I colored them with Distress Inks. The colors that I used are: Spiced Marmalade, Tumbled Glass, Shabby Shutters and Abandoned Coral. I sprinkled them with a little with water, and then put a paper towel on the top to remove the excess water and let them dry.

I stamped all my poinsettias and I die cut them with the coordinating dies. Then I stamped all of my sentiments onto my tags with the Versamark ink and heat embossed all of them with a silver embossing powder. Finally, I glued all of the flowers in place and added some twine and ribbons to make them extra festive. Perfect for all my Christmas gifts! 

Next up is Lexa... Hi there!  Today I used the Cresent Tag Topper Dies to make my tag.  I used the largest one which is 3" wide. Since I'm totally a dog person, I choose this adorable puppy from Pet Sympathy and add the Santa hat from Jolly Gingerbread Stamps. This little friend originally had a heart on his mouth, but I replaced it with a Christmas sock from Playful Polar Bear instead. The present comes from the older stamp set, Christmas Icons, just like it's name you can find anything related to Christmas in one stamp set.

I blended some Mowed Lawn Distress Inks for the background and stamped some cute paws with green dye ink. A classic red, green and gold won't hurt at all. It's simple and lovely as always. I use matching thin ribbon and twines, and finished it with some pretty sequins.

For the last set of tags, I couldn't resist joining in the fun with some tags of my own using our Sunny Semi Circles dies for the tag shape and Polar Playmate stamps (& various other sets) for embellishing.  ;)  

I cut a 2.5" wide x 4" high tag from white cardstock which I masked off for the snow drift before applying Shaded Lilac distress ink to my background and rounding the bottom corners.  I then stamped the background twice with our mini Frosty Flurries stamps which I heat embossed with white pearl embossing powder.

Then for each tag, I cut two more from black polka-dot paper measuring 3" x 4.5".  I wanted my tags to look as cute on the back as on the front so I adhered my cardstock tag to the patterned paper and stitched around the edge before adhering the second piece cut from patterned paper to the back of my tags.  Once they were adhered together, I was able to use my Crop-a-dile to punch a hole in the top and set an eyelet to run my twine through.  I love the finished look an eyelet gives to gift tags, don't you?

I hope we've inspired you to create some gift tags of your own and will join the festivities over on Tracey's blog.  There's so many great prizes up for grabs.  ;)

Polar Playmates Winter Themed Christmas Card with Nancy

Hey there everyone, Nancy here today with a look at the Polar Playmates stamp and coordinating die set. While this set is not Christmas theme, I thought that combining it with a few of my favorite holiday stamps would make for a cute card! Who doesn’t love a Christmas seal?

To begin this card, I started by masking the bottom of the card with a strip of washi tape and blending Tumbled Glass Distress Ink to create a soft background. Next, the stamped images were watercolored with bright hues from the Peerless Watercolor cards. I pulled out a stamp set from last year, Christmas Icons, to add some holiday style in the form of wreath to the igloo! This instantly turned it into a Christmas card. 

The sled and candy canes are from the Playful Polar Bears stamp set and added a whimsical and holiday spirit to the card. The sentiment from the Festive Greetings stamp set was stamped in black in the upper right hand corner. Just underneath the "from our home to yours" sentiment from the Christmas Home stamp set was stamped in red. The row of dots underlines the word "joy" and leads the eye straight across the large sentiment block. A sprinkle of clear sequins in a few different sizes tie the top and bottom halves of the card.

Remember to combine your favorite stamp sets to create some holiday cheer! All of the winter friends found in the Polar Playmates stamp set make for perfect Christmas cards with a few holiday touches.

Christmas Home Winter Scene Christmas Card with Eloise

Hi everyone, Eloise here and today I have a card to share with you all using the Christmas Home stamp set. 

To begin I stamped my images out with some Versafine Onyx black ink and clear heat embossed them. I then coloured them in with Peerless Watercolors and cut them out using the coordinating dies. I then die cut a piece of white cardstock with a stitched rectangle die and ink blended some Salty Ocean and Cracked Pistachio Distress Oxide ink on top. I then cut down a piece of white cardstock using the same rectangle die and cut it at a slope on top to look like a snowy hill, then adhered it down at the bottom of my rectangle with foam tape. 

Next I adhered all my images down using a mixture of foam and flat adhesive on top of my snow hill. I then stamped my sentiment on the top of my panel half with black ink and the other half white heat embossed. I then added fun foam on the back of my panel and adhered it down to a white card base. 

That finished my card for today, I hope you enjoyed and I'll catch you next week.
