Close To My Heart, Color My Heart Color Dare Challenge, CTMH, Glacier Ink, Lagoon Ink, Ranger, Ranger Silver Tinsel Embossing Powder, Sunny Studios, Versamark

Salutations!  All that glitters is NOT just gold, it is silver, and snow and glass too!

I had to make some tags for our annual Christmas Ornament Exchange party and could not resist Sunny Studio Stamps Holiday Style to fill the bill.

I started out by stamping the pine branch in VersaMark ink and sprinkling Ranger Silver Tinsel Embossing Powder on it and heat setting it.  This was the first time I used it and just LOVE the look.  Helpful Tip… Begin the heat setting/melting process from underneath the image, then finish up on top, the reason is, it gives the glitter pieces a chance to adhere and not get blown right off the paper.  Same concept as when you use the thick embossing powders.

I hope you can see the sparkle of the “tinsel” it is really beautiful in real life.  🙂

Next I stamped the ornament, beginning with Close To My Heart Glacier ink for the base layer circle and stamping CTMH Lagoon, which has been stamped off once, as the shadow piece.  It was way too dark to do without stamping it off first.  I added a piece of silver jewelers thread to “hang” it from the branch.  I popped up the ornament with a foam square, stamped “FROM” in Lagoon ink on the bottom, snipped off the top corners, added some matching blue baker’s twine and called it done.

I thought this would be a great project to submit for a Non-Traditional Holiday Colors challenge #273 going on at Color My Heart – Color Dare Challenge Blog, you can see all the great inspiration Here or even submit some inspiration of your own!

Alcohol Marker, Basic Grey, Copic, Crescent Tag Topper, Distress Inks, Fishtail Banner, Sunny Studios, Sunsational Stamps

Hello there!  I am continuing on my Christmas in July mode, I knew I was going to need some extra tags for the holidays and I wanted to use my new image from Sunsational Stamps, Snowman Soup Set which you can find Here.  This set is so cute, besides having several cups of wintry delight to choose from, there are many sentiments and adorable faces you can add to your snowmen.

Snowman Soup Tags

To make the tag I used Sunny Studios Crescent Tag Topper Dies and their Fishtail Banner Dies.  I absolutely love these in combination with one another.  The tag top has several sizes to choose from and you can make them as long or as short at you like.  The toppers also come with adorable little reinforcer dies in various shapes, I used the circle and star for my tags.  The Fishtail Banner dies come in four styles, and I used them all!  They have deep tick marks in each die to make lining them up straight on your project a breeze!

The paper I chose was Basic Grey, from my stash, obviously an oldie since they have been out of business for a while now.  I love finding stuff in my stash I completely forgot about…it is like Christmas morning when that happens.  Pun intended.  😉

Snowman Soup Tags

I colored my snowman with Copics and I shaded the cups with Distress Inks.  The white base was scored 1/8 inch from edge on all sides to give it subtle interest.  I popped up the mugs on the front of the tag, added bakers twine (from the dollar bin at Target) and voila!

Remember there is still time to enter our July Challenge, just upload any Christmas themed project you like and you will be entered in a drawing for a fabulous prize from Sunsational Stamps.  Click Here to get to the challenge.  Good luck!

Alcohol Marker, eBosser, Foil, Scor Tape, Sunsational Stamps, Wink of Stella

Welcome to Triple Play Wednesday!  We are upon that time of year where crafters have to get a move-on to complete (or begin) their holiday gifts, tags, cards etc.  Today I am using the stamp/image set You’re One Cool Friend from Sunsational Stamps to make three different holiday items.

I am IN LOVE with this adorable snowman and his sidekick cardinal, I printed him out three times, colored him in with alcohol markers, added A Wink of Stella to make it glisten.  I colored clear gems with a black alcohol marker to make the snowman’s eyes appear to be coal and added some random highlight dots with a white gel pen.  Finally I fussy cut each one out then moved on to the packaging they were to be added to.

I embossed the gift tag with the polka dot embossing folder in my eBosser and added snowflake sequins for a little extra sparkle.  On the candy wrapper I adhered that fabulous transfer foil that I used a few weeks ago, to do this I put Scor tape along the top and bottom and pressed the foil onto the tape to adhere, then I simply lifted the foil sheet off and voila, a beautiful strip of silver foil to accent the wrapper.

It’s Bloody Scary Out There!

Alcohol Marker, Black Soot, Close To My Heart, Distress Inks, Distress Stains, Doodlebug Designs, Ripe Persimmon, Stampin' UP!, Tim Holtz

Yikes!  It is almost Halloween and if you are like me you have a lot of little details to catch up on.  I had a party I attended over the weekend and I brought homemade Salted Caramel Cupcakes with cutesy Halloween picks in them and of course a hostess gift.  I chose a Bloody Mary mix 😉 one with a scary name to boot!

The Bloody Mary bottle tag was first stenciled with Fired Brick Distress Stain and Tim Holtz Speckles stencil that was gifted to me by one of my scrappy friends.  🙂  Thanks T!  Next I sponged a small area in the center with Ripe Persimmons Distress Ink so the Martini glass would pop.  The Bring On The Boos stamp is from the Holiday Spirits stamp set by Stampin’ UP!  I masked it off and stamped the sentiment directly on the “spattered” background and stamped the martini (with the eyeball olive) separately, colored it with alcohol markers and fussy cut it out, adhering it with foam tape.

The cupcake picks were stamped using Close To My Heart Frightfully Fun stamp set.  As you can see, I go for cutesy over scary…but I could not resist a little gore for the hostess gift.  The circles for the back base of the picks were punched out using Doodlebug’s latest Halloween collection October 31st.  Now how is that for cute?!

I had SO MUCH fun coloring these adorable little characters.  I used my alcohol markers and distressed the edges with Black Soot Distress Ink.

I hope I have inspired some frightfully fun projects for you to try.  Please follow our blog by clicking on the Follow Us link and like us on Facebook so you don’t miss a trick…or treat.  Bwahaha!

Sunsational Stamps

Ah, it is that time of the year again…party after party.  And although I enjoy hosting an occasional bash, I am always grateful when someone else steps up and takes the baton.  Today I decorated 3 Thanksgiving Tags from Sunsational Stamps.  These images are adorable and could be used in a variety of ways, since they come in different formats like jpg and cut files.  My tags are for hostess gifts, but these tags could easily double as name plates for your Thanksgiving seating arrangement.
