Maker's Movement - Merry & Bright

 Hello, my friends!

I'm back today to share a fun project for Maker's Movement! 

I used my wonderful Crossover II Machine for all my die-cutting on this project.

Today I'm featuring:

Christmas is Best With You Stamp Set, 

and Christmas is Best With You Die Set.

I also used:

Nested Round Tags Die Set.

Here's my card:

This is such a fabulous and fun set to play with!

There are 18 stamps included, and 10 dies in the die set.

I used only a few of them on my card!

I began with a light kraft card base.

I cut the rounded tag out of a Christmas print.

I then stamped/die-cut the tree, star, and gifts from coordinating paper.

Then I just put all the pieces together.

I added the sentiment to the front...

...and then used some other pieces to decorate the inside.

Finally, I added Stickles to give everything some sparkle and shine!

Meg's Garden - Christmas Gift Tags in Burgundy with Cream

  Hello, my friends!

Today I have a new project share for Meg's Garden!

This is my first project share using the new Christmas Collection:

 Burgundy with Cream

  I have made an assortment of Christmas gift tags:

Aren't they pretty?

This is such a beautiful collection of papers and elements!

The tag base in the top center of the photo, is one of the printable elements.

I simply cut it out, and layered a Santa image on top of it. 

This collection has lovely touches of gold throughout.

To bring out the gold, I have added a layer of Rinea Gold/Gold Glossy Foiled Paper.
To finish the tags off, I punched a hole and added a piece of gold cording.

They've all been left blank on the back,

offering a place to add names and messages.

Below is my favorite image! 

The finished tag measures 4"x 4".

That will give you a good idea of the size of all in the photo. 

Any of these tags would certainly dress up a Christmas gift!

Meg's Garden Products Used:

Simply Crafty SVGs - JOY Gift Box

 Hello, my friends!

Welcome to a new project share for Simply Crafty SVGs!

This month I'm sharing another great gift box!

I've used the:

Joy Gift Box SVG File

It was the title of this box that attracted me.

How could I not want to make a JOY gift box?

Sandy has two wonderful samples posted in the shop;

one is Christmas themed and one is Winter themed.

I thought I would give you another creative option.

Here's my version:

As you can see, I've combined Christmas with Winter,

and added a stamped panel rather than the JOY cut panel.

I used pretty shimmer cardstock, added some big red rhinestones,

and finished it off with a big glittery bow.

The lid of this box is such a great shape!

The box base is a wonderful size to fill with some goodies!

When you look at all these great cut files,

think about how you can incorporate your other craft supplies,

like stamps, stencils and such.

It's all so much fun!

File from Simply Crafty SVGs:

Other Materials Used:

Tim Holtz Holiday Joy Stamp Set;

CTMH Ink: Cranberry, Ponderosa Pine;

Celebrate It Glitter Ribbon.

I hope you found some inspiration!
I'll be back next month to share a brand new project! :o)

I stamped, coloured, and fussy cut this cute little girl.

I die-cut a pretty floral background for her,

and popped her up on foam tape.

After adding everything to the white card base,

I added little green rhinestones and a pink ribbon bow!

To finish it off, I added some sparkle marker to the image.

Maker's Movement - Fun Shaker Tag

Hello, my friends!

I'm back today to share a fun project for Maker's Movement! 

First, I made a fun Christmas Shaker Tag.

Then I've got a few other Christmas gift tag ideas to share.

I used my wonderful Crossover II Machine for all my die-cutting on this project.

I've also used:

Nested Round Tags Die Set,

Be Merry Stamp Set,

Jingle Bells Shaker Sprinkles,

Clear Acetate Sheets,

Double-Sided Adhesive Craft Foam.

Here's my shaker tag:

Isn't that fun and festive?

It would make such a lovely gift tag.

It would even look pretty hanging on a tree,

with the lights shining through it.

Maker's Movememt has everything you need to put shaker elements together.

The Jingle Bell Sprinkles are so sweet.

I combined two of them in my tag.

The sentiment is from the Be Merry Stamp Set.

I cut it out with the banner die from the Mini File Folder Die Set.

Above is a closer look at the front,

and below is a closer look at the back.

To finish it off I added a ribbon through the hole at the top.

Here are some more fun Christmas gift tags, 

using the same stamps and dies. 

I cut the largest tag out of cardstock,

then cut layers from Christmas papers.

I added a little embellishment and ribbon to each tag.

The Be Merry Stamp Set is ideal for Christmas tags. 

It is loaded with 19 stamps;

a great combination of sentiments and icons!

I stamped on the back of each tag.

It was fun to match the stamping on the back

with the papers on the front - when I could.

These would be lots of fun to make with the kids.

You could make a pile of them for yourself, 

or make a batch of them to gift to a friend! :o)

Vilda Stamps - Frosty Fun!

   Hello, my friends!

It's my time to share a new project for Vilda Stamps!

Today I have made a card featuring the V618 Stamp.

You can find it in the shop HERE.

I've used this adorable stamp on a previous card,

and she actually has a tiny little butterfly on her nose.

We had a wonderful snow blizzard this past weekend,

and it inspired me to make a fun Winter themed card.

I simply covered the butterfly with a sparkly snowflake!

Here is my card:

I stamped, coloured, and fussy cut the image.

Then I created a fun frosty scene using the same colours.

I embossed the snowflake background, cut out a snow drift,

and added some pretty snowflakes.

Then I adhered the image using foam tape.

The photo below shows the dimension.

Finally, I went in and added the pretty rhinestone stickers.

One to the center of several of the embossed snowflakes,

and one on her nose!

Vilda Stamps Used:

 V618 Stamp

Other Materials Used:

American Crafts Cardstock;

Cuttlebug Snowflake Embossing Folder;

Memento Tuxedo Black Ink;

Altair Art - Spring Blossoms Accordion Album

 Hello, my friends!

I'm back today with a new project share

 as Brand Ambassador for Altair Art Scrapbooking Papers.

Today I'm sharing another project using the gorgeous Spring Blossoms Collection.

My previous post using this collection was a really fun purse.

You can find that post HERE.

I have to tell you that these papers are fabulous to work with!

The designs are gorgeous but the quality is incredible.

I really love Altair Art papers!

This time I am sharing an accordion album

that I made to fit inside the purse.

It turns out that I used up all my light pink cardstock on the purse.

I picked another pink cardstock that matched the patterned paper,

and used it for the base of my album.

I also made a cardstock band to wrap around the album.

I added a pretty ribbon bow to it.

This serves two purposes:

it helps keep the album closed,

and it offers something to grab onto when pulling it out of the purse.

This collection includes so many beautiful elements,

and I really like fussy cutting them all out.

Aren't those papers gorgeous?

I used a ticket and flower for a tuck spot for the tag.

Here I simply added the butterflies.

This is the back of the album.

I think it would make a really pretty card.

The oval is another tuck spot, as it's adhered just along the bottom.

This is an accordion album,

so now we go back around the other way.

The left side is the pretty paper,

on the right side are more fussy cut elements.

On the left, I have formed a pocket and added an oval journal spot.

On the right, I have added a belly band.

In the photo below, I have moved the oval under the belly band.

Here youc an see the album tucked into the purse.

As you can see, there is room for a couple more! :o)

Altair Art Products Used:

My Scrap Chick - Fall Policy Envelope Album

 Hello, my friends!

Today I have a fun new project share for My Scrap Chick!

I've made what I'm calling my Fall Policy Envelope Album.

I've done this by using pieces from these files:

Trifold card and Envelope,

Fall Acorn Card,

and Fall Sentiments Print and Cut.

Here's the cover:

When I recently made my Trifold Card and Envelope Set,

the envelope inspired me to make this project.

I enlarged the envelope,

and folded it up so the end was open instead of the top.

The "Fall" came from the Fall Acorn Card.

It's such a pretty script!

I made a total of five envelopes for my pages.

I bound them with my Bind-It-All.

I matted them on the front and back with decorative papers.

I punched circles, and added them with brads,

to form a flap closure.
 

My pages were decorated with the Fall Sentiments Print and Cut,

and the Tim Holtz Skeleton Leaf Die.

Here's a closer look:

Here is the back cover:

Each pocket is filled with a large tag.

I punched the corners with a leaf punch, and added a file tab.

The back of each is cream coloured, so it would be a great spot for journaling.

Lots of room for photos in this album too.

Here's a look at the tags in all the pretty Fall colours!

My Scrap Chick Products Used:

Trifold card and Envelope,

Fall Acorn Card,

and Fall Sentiments Print and Cut.

Other Materials Used:

Recollections Thankful Heart Collection;

Recollections Pumpkin Spice Cardstock;

Recollections Fall Embossed Paper Pad;

Tim Holtz Skeleton Leaves Die;

Martha Stewart Fall Leaves Corner Punch;

McGill File Tab Punch;

Fiskars 1" Circle Punch;

Walnut Stain Distress Ink.
