Handmade Christmas Tags

 Hello Stampers. I am here today with a couple of Christmas tags.
Handmade tags add an extra personal touch to the gift.

I die-cut the tags and used some of my scraps.

First tag~ I used a snowflake punch for the border. On a scrap piece of white cardstock, I stamped the Reindeer, and used Merry Christmas from a larger saying stamp.

Second tag~I cut some patterned paper for the top and bottom. Another scrap of cardstock was put in the middle, and Christmas Greetings was stamped with VersaFine Tulip Red Ink.

Third tag~I had a piece of snowflake paper that I cut to add, then stamped Warm Winter Wishes with VersaFine Tulip Red Ink.

Fourth tag~I used a Snowflake stamp with Brilliance White Ink. I added the small snowflakes in the middle of the stamped snowflakes that I punched out from tag 1. I stamped Happy Holidays and trimmed around it.

Stamps Used:

Reindeer

Merry Christmas

Christmas Greetings

Warm Winter Wishes

Happy Holidays

Ink Used:

VersaFine Tulip Red Ink

Brilliance White Ink

I hope this has inspired you to make some of your own handmade tags.

Religious Christmas Card

Hello Stampers!

Now that Thanksgiving is over, I am getting my Christmas cards ready.

I have about 30 different ones to make, so I wanted to make cards that were quick.

I used natural colors, but I know this stamp looks good with other colors too.

I started with a dark brown card.

The first layer is light tan with a textured dark brown. I put some string around the card and tied it.

The stamp has some space between the main part of the saying and the 'Merry Christmas'.

I used a die with the lightest tan and stamped the saying, May Our Savior on it.

** I masked the Merry Christmas off the bottom and only stamped the top part of the saying.

I stamped Merry Christmas on the bottom of the card. 

The Nativity Scene was stamped on white cardstock and mounted on the tan cardstock.

Stamps Used:

May Our Savior 

   Nativity Scene

I wish you great joy during this holiday season!

Santa Is On His Way

Hello Stampers. I have a simple, quick, no-coloring Christmas card for you.

I punched a circle in a piece of scrap cardstock and sponged yellow for the moon. Then I added a little yellow around the moon for a glowing effect.

The Cityscape was stamped at the bottom of the card.

I sponged blue, then black, around the edges.

Santa's Sleigh Sm. was stamped across the moon.

Then mounted it on red cardstock and put it on a white card.

The saying "Enjoy the Warmth" was stamped and placed on the same red cardstock.

A very easy card, I hope it inspired you.

Hocus Pocus Halloween Card

 Is Hocus Pocus one of your favorite movies this time of year? 

Since it is one of my favorite movies, I made this card.

Crackerbox Stamps has a lot of Hocus Pocus stamps, but I used the Sanderson Sisters Silhouette over the saying Hocus Pocus Bunch.

I stamped Hocus Pocus Spell Book and mounted it on a black circle.

There is also the Black Flame Candle I wanted to use, but couldn't figure out where to put it.

Maybe you might have some ideas for the candle?

The Happy Halloween With Webs was stamped with VersFine.

I sponged orange and used the Texture Brush for the black dots.

Minion Halloween Card

Hello, I am here today to share a funny Minion Halloween card.
I guess Lucy doesn't like to get scared, but one of the Minions is going to scare her anyway.

This was an easy card to make. I think kids or adults would like this card.

I stamped the saying, Don't Scare Me, trimmed it, and placed it on a piece of black cardstock.

I used a printed piece of Halloween paper for my card, and put it on black cardstock.

I stamped Lucy, colored her, and then fussy cut her out. I mounted her on a piece that I die-cut.

Boo and the Ghost Minion were stamped and trimmed.

They were mounted on black paper and printed paper to match the card's front.

Stamps Used:

Don't Scare Me

Lucy

Boo

I hope you enjoyed my spooky, silly Halloween card!

Dance As Though No One Is Watching

 Today I have an inspirational card.

I used our little hippie girl dancing through the flowers.

The card base is pink cardstock. The next layer is white cardstock, and then green printed paper with little hearts.

I used a die-cut for the main focus of the card, and then stamped the saying, Dance Sing Love.

Harmony Small was stamped in the lower corner and colored.

Since Harmony has daisies, I put silk flowers on the card. Pink pearls are put in the center of each flower.

Harmony comes in 2 sizes, Large Harmony and Small Harmony.

Stamps Used:

Dance Sing Love

Harmony Small

I hope you like our little hippie and her saying.
