Merry Christmas Makes #5

Hello everyone.

Its time for project number 5.  

Merry Christmas Makes

I hope this little series of Christmas ideas is helping with your creativity and you are making a dent on those Christmas creations.

This time I have made these little Christmas tags.

I am all for quick and easy especially at Christmas.  These tags took no time at all to make.

To create the tags start by folding over some white card stock and then using the stitched shapes framelits dies just hang the top of your die very slightly over the edge of your fold.  This will stop the die from cutting right through and will make your basic tag shape.

Next I cut out a smaller stitched circle and created the topper for the tag.

I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment and I then stamped out the light bulbs to read Merry And Bright in garden green, so saffron and real red.

I added these to the tag base using some foam pads and added a piece of bakers twine so you can hang them from your gifts.

The gift tag design would also make a greet topper for your Christmas cards.

Thanks for stopping by today and please stop by next Monday and I will share another Merry Christmas Make with you.

Please pop over to the Stampin up Website for more details and when placing an order please add me (Dawn Barwick), country (France), address (St Hernin) as your demonstrator.

Daring Cardmakers - November Elemental Inspiration.

Hello everyone and happy Friday.

The countdown is on.  Get ready for lots of Christmas inspiration from the team at Daring Cardmakers.

Its the first Friday of the month which means its an elemental inspiration challenge.

Remember to pick at least 3 elements from the image below.

I love this image.  Lots of lovely elements to choose from.

I picked the letters, colours, plaid, twine, some texture and baubles.

I started by adding some designer paper to a white card blank.  I then used the Pinewood Planks Textured Impressions embossing folder from Stampin' Up!  I then distressed the edges and added some Soft Suede Ink to the edges.

Next I cut some little black squares out using the Stitched Shapes Framelits Dies and die cut some letters in white card stock using an alphabet set from Spellbinders.

I then stamped and heat embossed these tiny baubles from a retired set from Stampin' Up! and finished with some twine.

Thanks for stopping by today and please check out the Daring Cardmakers Blog for more lovely inspiration from the Design Team.
