25 Days of Christmas Tags - Day 4
Day 4 of the 25 Days of Christmas Tags welcomes Reverse Confetti.
I went through my stash of RC to look for Christmas stamps, and
found none!
Not to worry, I have their Scalloped Tag Layer and Topped Off Tag,
and combined them and with the center of the
Sand Dollar die.
Ink Sponged bg and sentiment from PTI's 2012 Holiday Tags, and done!
A perfect gift tag for a son and family that lives on the coast.
Jeanne Jackna's tag, using the Topped Off tag die, and her use of cool blue inspired me.
Honestly? Jeanne always inspires me!
Are you playing along? So many incredible sponsors and gc to each shop!
And... the best part? Tags ready for Christmas!

Blog Hop for Dawn
Hello, and welcome to a hop in honor of Dawn McVey, from PapertreyInk,
who is currently recovering from surgery in a hospital in Washington, DC.
Dawn is an incredibly talented designer, and has designed several stamp sets
available through PTI. I knew she had many, but was surprised at just how many
were listed under Raspberry Suite.
Among them is this set, used to make her card, called Cup of Cheer.
I also used a Cover Plate, Quatrefoil, Dawn designed,
and Holiday Greens Borders, all personal favorites.
Dawn can't have flowers in recovery, but I added as many of her happy florals as I could,
hopefully to bring her smiles!
Here's a peek on the inside,
Dawn also designed the Tucked In Series. This one is from Thinking of You.
Dear Dawn, as you continue to heal and grow stronger, know
that you are in the thoughts and prayers of many who love and appreciate you,
and are counting the days 'till you're back blogging!

Card Concept: Rich Holiday
The Card Concept Challenge has a 'Rich Holiday' theme for you, with this photo:
Nothing says 'holiday' like the red of poinsettias! That inspired me to create
this card, full of the beautiful red holiday flowers.
This set from PapertreyInk truly depicts an elegant poinsettia, especially with the gold
embossed veins. Greenery from PTI's Holiday Greens.
The splatters are from Lindy's Stamp Gang: Burgandy Starburst, and they
shimmer, which is hard to see.
Do you have a poinsettia stamp in your stash? You don't have to use it, any
inspiration from the photo will do. Just choose one of the many styles
the Card Concept has on their blog, and join in the fun. Our challenges run for 2 weeks,
and there's plenty of inspiration and styles from the designers.
Can't wait to see you in the lineup!
Happy Crafting!

shop on the HLS website.
Here's my card, hopefully it will inspire you to play along.
Background stenciled with watered down inks (PTI) on watercolor paper,
and PTI's snowflake stencil.
Then I die cut the tag PTI's Holiday Tag Along die, out, and also cut 4 more from
Winter Wisteria Cardstock.
Silver White Winters also from PTI, snowflakes watercolored and embossed

If you have waterbased inks, they work fine as a watercolor medium, and
blend beautifully!

12 Kits of Occasions October '17: Boo to You!
Happy Halloween Greetings! It's the day before the spooking begins, and
12 Kits of Occasions is bringing you October's post today.
This month I'm the hostess, and I had such a good time putting together a not too frightful
kit for all my teammies.
Thanks to Lindsey, our resident genius when it comes to photographing a bit of
everything included in the kit. Mwah!
No time to waste, hope your cuppa is handy, I have a ton to show you!
Let's start with some brew from Frantic Stamper to kick things off.
By the way, if anything catches your eye, there's a list of products used in the kit
on the 12 Kits blog.
It truly is 'All About the Candy'
Not too long ago Marybeth used this boxcard die from Reverse Confetti on one of her projects.
Had to have it, and loved adding some of the designer papers to decorate it. The haunted town
die cut was included in the kit.
Funny story, my teenage granddaughter is afraid of spiders, which always seem to show up in our
house when she's visiting. Guess who got this card for Halloween? 'Grandma, you're so mean!'
You have to have a shaker in the lineup. The die's from Memory Box.
Kept this card simple to showcase this trio from Impression Obsession.
Does anyone really eat candy corn? But it's like the symbol of Halloween!
I think I used this stamp and die set from Poppystamps more than any other this season.
They are just so darn cute!
Still with me? My last (I promise!) card uses puff paint (Tsukineko Neon Amplify)
to give my pumpkins some dimension.
And that's it for this hostess. Hope you enjoyed it. And hope you visit each and every
teammie and leave some love on their blogs.
I have a prize to give one winner of our drawing, so don't forget to comment!
Hugs, and Happy Halloween!

Wishing you...
Happy to play along with Lizzie, at PTI with a wonderful tutorial on Matting with Glitter.
All the Halloween cards are happily in the hands of their recipients, so it's full on Christmas mode!

Great fun to add glitter to any project. Loved Lizzie's quick and easy method.
Noted A2 Scallop dies.
Martha Stewart Glitter applied with score tape, and a bit on the roses too.
Happy crafting!
