Day 18: 25 Days of Christmas Tags

 

Hi my blogging friends! Day 18 of 25 Days of Christmas Tags, and their sponsor 

today is Jillian Vance Designs. I had to use stamps and dies in my stash as I have

no GV stamps. So here goes: Muse today is Rosemary Dennis (shhh, I'm a secret stalker 

of Rosemary, just love here style and creations!) Here's here tag below

Loved the swag of snowy ferns, and how cute are those pinecones???

Crushed on the scalloped tag too. Anyway, used her layout and elements,

 and came up with my tag, below

.

Greetery Botanicuts: Pine Bough (my favorite set ever! Well one of them, anyway)

Poppystamps Pinpoint Main Street Tags, Pinpoint Dome Tag Decorations.

Lots of German Glass Glitter.

A Merry Christmas Greetery Card

Hi and Merry Christmas! 

I have a card I want to share, done with the Greetery's new Botanicuts Pine Bough.

I only recently received this beauty. They sold out quickly, and when it came in,

I ordered it and the bow die. Thankfully Betsy must have connections with UPS,

because it arrived amazingly fast! 

Betsy has a tutorial on her blog showing a how to coloring technique for the set, 

followed by adding glitter.

The card started out with the Nordic Frames die, cut from white textured card stock,

then, pink and pale blue shimmer.

As Betsy had done, I added some shading to the pinecone pieces before assembling them.

Honestly, aren't these pinecones just about the sweetest? Can't wait to do more.

I have 4 birthdays in December and an anniversary in Jan. And I know

just what die set to use...

Merry Christmas all!

Sleigh Bells Ring

Laurie Schmidlin from PapertreyInk has the spotlight this week with her MIM 

tutorial: creating layers on our cards.

Loved it from start to finish. Gave me the nod to create all the lovely layers I want!

Beginning with an Ocean Tides and Pinefeather color scheme, I cased Michelle Phillips'

card using Mix & Mat Plaid, where she edge embossed the corners, as though kissed by snow.

Stampendous Shabby Blue Embossing Enamel has flecks of white, gold and aqua.

The Dash Away All stamp and die set haven't left my table since they arrived. 

I love how the deer seems to take flight no matter where I use him!

Peaceful Pinecones and a big red bow with lots of foam,  just as Laurie instructed,

gives the card my Love of Layers.

See Laurie's video on Nichole's blog here:

Happy crafting!

Merry Monday #121

The Challenge at Merry Monday is to use Pinecones & Greens

with Plaid Ribbon.

As hot as it is outside, making a frosty card was just what I needed!

Stamps and Dies are Waltzingmouse: Festive Foliage

Cardstock & Inks: PTI

I spritzed the inked stamps, and rolled them in 3 colors for the pine needles and cones.

Once dry, I applied Viva Dacor Glitter Liner in Holo Iridescent.

The bg is stamped with white on kraft

Stitching die from Lil Inkers,

Rusty Bells: Paper Sweeties

Feeling cooler already!
