Warm Wishes

I'm back with a fun holiday tag to share.  The background was run through a mixture of several distress stains by Tim Holtz.  I sprayed some gold mist in the stains as well.  I dried the tag.  Then I stamped several images with gold embossing ink.  I embossed Tim's deer in gold.  The pointsettia dies were also dabbed with distress stains and dried.  I sprinkled some glitter in the stain too.  I embossed a pearl in gold since I didn't have a gold bling for the center of the flower.  The burlap ribbon is from HL. The tree stamps at the bottom is by Memory Box.  The snowflakes stamp is by Tim Holtz.  Have a fun crafty day!

Glory to God

I am finally back with a holiday card.  I have had 2 computers crash on me in the past few weeks so posting cards has been impossible.  I am finally getting a few made though so that is good.  This is a new "chalkboard stamp" by ODBD that I ordered and really like it.  It is stamped in black on white paper thus the chalkboard look.  The pointsettia and leaves are dies by Memory Box.  I bought a bolt of this burlap ribbon to add to some of my cards.  The papers are from my stash.  Have a great day!

 

Halloween bag card

Hope your fall day is going well!  It is so beautiful here in Colorado...finally!  It's been a rough year for us but hopefully we are on the mend and can stay out of the news for awhile.  So, this is a fun die...cute bag to use for many occasions.  Our LSS has kraft paper that is a good weight for these bags.  I added a few stickers to the front and made a tag (which I forgot to pull out of the bag to include in the picture - sorry).  There is a bit of tulle behind the bag.  Quick and easy! 

Wedding card

Here is a wedding card I made using a Lily of the Valley stamp.  The papers are leftovers from a kit I ordered from Button Farm.  They are Kaisercraft papers.  The cut out behind the wedding couple is also from those same papers.  I added a little SU stamped tag and some bling and ribbons.  This will go with the little book I made for them using these papers.
Happy crafting!

Bohemian Card

Today I have a Bohemian Bazaar Card to share made with Graphic 45 papers.  It is one of those trifold stair step cards that are easy to make and the directions for various ones can be googled.  I just cut the papers to fit the folds and added embellishments.  The butterflies are 3D stickers from my stash that tied in well with the colors of the papers.  Have a great weekend!

Cadet Frames

This is a quick frame I made for our Cadet's Moms when they were here a few weeks ago for Parents Weekend.  I had some dollar frames laying around and put one coat of acrylic blue paint on them.  Then I picked up a deck of cards at the AFA and cut pictures from the cards to put on the frame.  I had a few embellishments I also added to get some bling in there!!!  And then I FORGOT to give them to them!!!  I did manage to get one Mom as she was getting in her car so that was good...maybe the other two will make great xmas gifts!  Have a fun day!

More Christmas Tags

This is my last in this series of holiday tags.  Again, these were made from large 12 x 12 papers that usually had one decorative side to it.  I cut tags from the sides and then added embellishments, ribbons, diecuts and bling.  These really went quickly which is what I love about them as my time is getting very short for projects I really want to get done for the holiday season.
Happy crafting!
