White Christmas 3

Here are the last of the White Christmas cards from my class... and no blue nor black to be seen, haha!

First up, the one that's been in my head since I saw the set! I thought the banner in Real Red would be fun and striking, and it is! The trees are kept very simple in Chocolate Chip.

Supplies:
Stamps: White Christmas
Ink: Chocolate Chip, Real Red
Paper: Real Red, Whisper White card stocks
Accessories: Old Olive Baker's Twine, Dimensionals, scotch tape

When I used the deer, I wanted him brown but not super dark. I stamped him in Soft Suede and then used a Blender Pen to pull the ink across his body and give him a hint of brown. And this one made me think of my brother, haha...so yes, he'll get this one!

Supplies:
Stamps: White Christmas
Ink: Crumb Cake, Soft Suede
Paper: Crumb Cake, Garden Green, Whisper White card stocks
Accessories: Nordic Buttons, Linen Thread, Blender Pens, Dimensionals, Big Shot, Woodgrain Embossing Folder

White Christmas 2

I seriously love this set! I counted what I've got in my stash and I'll have to make a bunch more Christmas cards this year and I have a feeling this one will be well used!
Today's cards use and almost use, haha, the current Retro Sketch, so we'll start with the one that follows it! Even if I did use a greeting set that just retired....on both cards....ahem!

I absolutely love the black, white and silver combination on this card! I had 14 of my 15 cards designed before I got to use the sequins and I'm glad I finally found a card that it worked on, haha! I thought about adding some brown marker to the trees, and some color to the snowman, but then I decided I like it just the way it is!

Supplies:
Stamps: White Christmas, Good Greetings
Ink: Memento Black
Paper: Whisper White card stock, All is Calm DP
Accessories: Silver Taffeta Ribbon, Frosted Sequins, Glue Dots

This one was inspired by the Retro Sketch but I definitely missed a few bits....and that's okay! I kept this one fairly neutral colored too, mostly trying to keep the cold look of a winter night. I love how this little bear is looking upward and I liked him looking at the stars. I colored the stars with the pen side of my So Saffron marker, and I squished my Soft Sky ink pad so a splotch of ink was on the lid and literally dipped a blender pen in that and scribbled downward thru the sky to add a hint of blue.

Supplies:
Stamps: White Christmas, Good Greetings
Ink: Memento Black, Soft Sky, So Saffron Marker
Paper: Lost Lagoon & Whisper White card stock, All is Calm DP
Accessories: Soft Sky seam binding ribbon, Blender Pens

White Christmas 1

This stamp set was on back order when the rest of my things arrived, so these were the last cards I designed, but the ones that were loudest in my head wanting made, lol! I had several basic ideas I really wanted to play with, so I was glad to finally get them out and created!

This card turned out really pretty for as simple as it is! I also managed to use two challenges from this week! I used the Mojo Monday sketch for the layout, and I used the Nacho Average color challenge too! The color challenge is not something I typically participate in, but it was really easy to do with the All is Calm DP, haha... I did cut out the car, with the tree on top, rather than stamping over the snow line, and I like how it turned out.

Supplies:
Stamps: White Christmas
Ink: Smoky Slate ink & marker, Old Olive, Pistachio Pudding marker
Paper: Whisper White, Smoky Slate card stocks, All is Calm DP
Accessories: Nordic Buttons, White Baker's Twine, Glue Dots

Blog Hop: Wrapping Up the Holidays!

Welcome to December!! Oh my goodness, the year is nearly over! How does that keep happening??

This month we thought we'd feature gift giving, since that's what almost everyone is thinking about!

I thought for my projects, I'd create some different tags using the November Paper Pumpkin kit! We made a TON of jam and jelly this year, and we'll definitely be giving some away as Christmas gifts- so these three are now ready to go, haha! All of these tags come from the Paper Pumpkin kit.

Here are some closeups, with a little more detail....

On this one, I just used the blue tag, but I put a bit of Red Glimmer paper behind it, using scotch tape! Then I attached the tag to the jar using white Baker's Twine! Couldn't be quicker!

The second tag used completely My Paper Pumpkin items- all of which you can get tonight, except the To/From stamp. Those snowflakes are a fun touch- and the washi tape is too!

And the last tag only used the paper tag from the Kit, and every thing else was stuff I had on hand already... I used stamps from White Christmas, some Cherry Cobbler seam binding ribbon, and my Smoky Slate marker to write with!

Tag making can be so quick and so fun! You can cut any paper into a tag, and we even sell great products like tag topper punches to make it faster! Stamp literally anything you want and you've got yourself a cute tag ready for anyone's gift! Love it!
