Cheerful Tags holiday card

-
Here is one of my Holiday Cards for the 2014 Season. I love these colors so soft and serene and then a pop of red to remind you it's Christmas.


Merry Merry

I love this set Cheerful Tags, its small and simple. I layered some strips of All is Calm designer washi tape over my cascade of snowflakes. The snowflakes are stamped in smoky slate and soft sky classic ink. I added bling with the Frosted sequins and basic rhinestones that I colored with my Coastal Cabana blendabilities markers. You could just as easily use a sharpie to color them, either way the effect is fun. I punched the tag with the new Note Tag punch, stapled a piece of real red 1/4" cotton ribbon and then tied some cherry cobbler bakers twine around the red ribbon. I stamped the snowflake in soft sky ink on the soft sky card stock, gives a watermark effect.

For the layout I used a smoky slate base layered a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of soft sky on top of it. The top layer is a 3-3/4" x 5" piece of whisper white, I cut in 1-1/4" on the bottom left and angled it up to the top left corner. Last I tucked a 1-1/2" x 3-1/4" strip of All Is Calm designer paper behind the white.

Gift Card Flower Bouquet

It is the end of the school year for us.....finally! I can't wait to have my kids home for the summer. I love lounging in PJ's all day, and taking fun day trips to the beach or museums. I'm sure those days will include sibling arguments and a messy house but I choose not to think about that. I have tons of kids activities pinned on Pinterest for those moments I will want to pull my hair out. And when I need a break I will lock myself in my bedroom and skim the internet for new card ideas. That's my plan anyways, we shall see what happens.... Anyways, with the end of the school year comes class parties, school events and teacher gifts. I was room mom for one of my boys classrooms and my co-room mom and I decided on a gift card bouquet for her. It was really fun to put together. I used all of my favorite punches and some techniques I learned from Carrie Cudney herself at the SU convention last year. You can see a quick tutorial on one of the flowers I made  here . ...

Thanks for visiting today! Here is my Frosty Friends swap card for the Over the Top swap, "Bling It". This swap was organized by Barbara Jackson, thanks Barbara I had a great time. Frosty Friends stamp set (C) Stampin' Up! I tried to use as many "blingy" things as I could. I used our silver glimmer paper, basic rhinestones,dazzling diamonds glitter, and shimmer paint. Now with the shimmer paint I used the new spritzers available in the new catalog, I poured some of the paint in the spritzer, added some water and spritzed the paint onto my card. I used my two way glue on the snowmen by tracing the outlines and then sprinkling on the dazzling glitter. The snowflake is cut using our new snowflake die. SUPPLIES stamp set: Frosty Friends, Easy Events ink: staz on black, early espresso paper: sahara sand, whisper white, cherry cobbler, and pool party card stock; pool party designer prints paper accessories: cherry cobbler seam binding, ribbon punch, s...

I really love the versatility of this set. Its so easy to create fun and useful cards, tags and gifts. The boxed set comes with two ink spots, a block, stamp set and matching punch. I matched this with the Tea Room dsp, a specialty paper with 24 sheets. The layers are created with punches, stitched shapes and layering squares framelits. Because the envelopes are quite snug, you want to keep your layers flat, I only used one layer of dimentionals per card. Happy Stampin, Tricia
