A Little Christmas Magic Tags {Purple Onion Designs}

Have you checked out the new and adorable "A Little Christmas Magic" collection illustrated by Stacey Yacula for Purple Onion Designs yet?

I created a trio of tags featuring  Winter (penguin), Otto (baby seal) and Balsam (owl) which were all stamped onto Copic friendly cardstock, colored with Copic markers and then fussy cut out. I used the Simon Says Ornament Options die set to showcase these cuties. I cut both pieces from white cardstock three times, then blended on tumbled glass distress ink at the top portion of the mat pieces. I used a stencil to blend on Picket Fence Studios Paper Glaze in Snowdrop White to represent snow flakes and then added a stitched snow drift cut from linen cardstock to each piece, adding more paper glaze with my finger. The images were attached with foam dimensionals. I blended on new leaf and green parakeet ink onto the leaf trios, attached to the tags pieces and added a couple of tiny gold tone bells. Twine in the tag holes finished them up.

Joy {Picket Fence Studios}

I have one more card using products from the October Picket Fence Studios release. 

I used the Joy Word Die to cut from gold metallic card and then again from craft foam, then layered the two pieces together. I also stamped one of the angels from the Angels Sing to the Newborn King cutting out with the matching die and colored with Copic markers. I trimmed off the bottom portion of the image, then inserted in the opening of the "o". I placed the piece onto a linen cardstock background with a black pearlescent cardstock strip. A few sequins from the Black Tie Affair Sequin Mix finished up the clean and simple card.

This was a big release of both Christmas and winter themed products. Normally I do more projects but I simply run out of time before my retina surgery. Not to mention I had a lot of anxiety about the surgery and found it hard to concentrate. 

Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree {Picket Fence Studios}

Today's card was created using products from the October Picket Fence Studios release. 

I stamped the three mice and the tree from the Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree set, cut out with the matching dies and colored with Copic markers. I also stamped the sentiment onto red cardstock using Versamark and white heat embossed. For the background, I partially blended blueberry sky ink with a Life Changing Blender Brush over the Slim Line Falling Snowflakes Stencil. The images and the sentiment were attached to the card front using foam dimensionals.

Normally I list the Copics I use but accidently erased my list and couldn't recover it. 

Have a Merry Very Christmas {Purple Onion Designs}

I am back with another card featuring images from the new super cute "A Little Christmas Magic" collection illustrated by Stacey Yacula for Purple Onion Designs. This collection is filled with Christmas adorableness!

Lots of masking going on with this cool yule scene intended to warm your heart. I stamped the new Wesley (walrus) and Otto (baby seal) with the previously released Iceberg background stamp onto a Copic friendly cardstock piece. After coloring with Copic markers I cut out the piece with a stitched edge die and attached to a red cardstock base. The sentiment from the new Santa Sentiments set was stamped onto a red cardstock strip using Versamark ink, then white heat embossed. After attaching the sentiment with foam dimensionals, I wrapped silver cording around the card front for a bit of sparkle.

A Little Christmas Magic by Stacey Yacula {Purple Onion Designs}

I am very excited to share with you a new and oh so very cute “A Little Christmas Magic” Collection of rubber stamps from Purple Onion Designs illustrated by the talented Stacey Yacula. Be prepared for cuteness overload with this collection!

I stamped Cider (bunny) twice onto a Copic friendly cardstock piece then colored with Copic markers. I masked the image and then blended a bit of tumbled glass distress ink around the image. I also stamped the gift portion of the image, colored with Copic also, then fussy cut out. The gift box portion was then layered over the bunny image using foam dimensionals. A patterned paper border and a die cut sentiment finished up a clean and simple Christmas card.

Angels Sing to the Newborn King {Picket Fence Studios}

Good morning. I have another card created using the October Picket Fence Studios Release. 

I stamped four of the angels from the Angels Sing to the Newborn King set onto Copic friendly cardstock, cut with the matching dies and colored with Copic markers. The sentiment was stamped with Versamark and gold heat embossed and cut out with a circle die. For the background I stamped Hark,the Angels Sing onto gray cardstock using Versamark ink, then clear heat embossed. After trimming the background piece, the sentiment and images were attached with foam dimensionals. Then the whole panel was attached to the card base with Foam Tape.

I've been laying low the past several days as I had retina surgery on the 13th. I have a real ugly red eye but the eyesight is getting better every day. 

(The Cat's Pajamas} Halloween Gift Tags

Good morning. I have some fun Halloween projects to showcase today using digital stamps from The Cat's Pajamas.

For the witch tag, I combined the Witch from the Hide & Eek set and the Jack o' Lantern and Sentiment from the Hocus Pocus set using Silhouette software. For the second tag I combined Frankenstein from the Hocus Pocus set and the Moon Tombstone, Spider Web, Hanging Spider, Mound and Sentiment from the Hide & Eek set. The eraser tool was used to remove the moon from the tombstone and then I placed the sentiment on it. After I was satisfied with the arrangements, I printed onto Copic friendly cardstock and then cut out both images with a tag die. I used the matching frame tag die to cut from green parakeet and Hawaiian shores cardstock. Both tags were decorated with patterned paper, a button from my stash and the cardstock frames and then punched a hole in the top of each. Using the same tag set I used a larger die to cut a second patterned paper tag for each. I punched a hole on the two orange lunch bags I found in the card/gift wrap section of my local grocery store. 

For the witch tag set, I threaded black ribbon through the tags and the front of the bag and tied in a bow. 

The frankenstein set was attached with green grosgrain ribbon.
