Hello Everyone! Welcome back to Day 6 of my Christmas Series! For today's project I am going to feature Hero Arts, specifically one of their fancy dies! These dies are so intricate and textured! So instead of a card I had to make a tag... I could make tags all day long during the month of December! What is also great with this die, it can be a card, a tag and even an ornament for your tree! I used Pool Party Cardstock by Stampin' Up and blended a navy dye ink over the one side of the ornament shape. For the overlay of the die cut I pulled out some shimmer paper by Recollections give a sparkle and shine to my tag. My sentiment is from the Sizzix Thinlit set by Tim Holt Alterations called Holiday Words #2. I just love the modern look of these as sentiments for my paper crafting! On the back I simply hand wrote the To: and From:... Yes I know I have tons of those stamps, but why not use our own handwriting for an item that is handmade... right?!? Here are just some of the products I used for making this tag...

Hello Everyone! Welcome back for Day 5 of my Christmas Series for 2018! I hope everone is enjoying this series and being inspired to dig in their stash and create beautiful Holiday cards (or TAGS!) for this season.... So let's jump in... for this project I am featuring Mama Elephant and their 'Joy Ornament' Stamp and Die Set! I first thought to stamp out my images and use the dies of course to cut them out.... But when I just saw the shape of the die I knew I could just dig into my massive paper stash and create some fun images! I used my Pink and Main Cloudy Die to frame my images after they were cut. Added some embossing and gloss drops to embellish this playful card for the holidays! Here are just some of the products used to make this card...

Welcome back for Day 4 of my 2018 Christmas Series! Today I wanted to color with some color pencils, so I pulled out my Arteza 72 color set! I must say these are great pencils to color with for any level of creator! Now what to color! I chose one of the Suzy's Watercolor panels from Simon Says Stamp. Now I know I said water color panel, but these are perfect for any coloring medium, plus with water color paper it is perfect to use color pencils with since it has a great tooth to pick up the pigment! I made sure my pencils were sharp and bright and I was ready to get coloring. The panel I chose is from her Snowmen series that was recently released through Simon Says. For each color I chose three shades, but there are times like green for example the color I use for my deepest shade is actually blue! And for my reds, I like to use a dark purple! That for em is the beauty of color pencils, I can work them just like an alcohol marker, and use those same techniques for when I color. Here are just a few of the products I used for this card...

Welcome back for Day 3 of my 2018 Christmas Series! Today I am featuring Rubber Stamp Tapestry and their wonderful peg stamps. if you have seen any of my previous videos, we know I am a huge fan of this product! So versatile and unique... perfect for any paper craft project you have to create! These stamps are made out of red rubber... so I thought glue and glitter! So Arteza had contacted me a little bit ago and asked if I would be interest in looking at their 48-color glitter pack... so here it is! The peg stamp set I am using today is called "Hello Mistletoe". Beautiful Ornaments and Greenery to fill any card up... The ornaments are what really caught my eye and thought this technique would be perfect! I used a Zig 2-way glue pen and placed some glue down onto a scrap piece of paper. Placed my stamp into the glue and dabbed off the excess... Chose my color of glitter for that ornament and placed a little over the stamped area! We may not have all the beautiful detail these stamps have, but what shine and glimmer we get using the glitter as the color instead of ink! Here are just a few of the products I used for this card...
