Christmas Tags

Hi Everyone, and Happy Christmas Eve!

I feel ridiculous sharing these tags, but these are the last Christmas items I made.  And I use the term "made" loosely.  I was nearing the end of my wrapping, and needed a few more tags, so I chose to embellish some store bought ones from my stash.  

This tag was an extra in the pack, just plain, with no cute Santa, or snowflake or anything like the others. It had a nice gold edge, so rather than toss it, I stamped it with Percy Penguin and the

 1 Line Merry Christmas.  

And this one came with a glittery tree, so I added the 1 Line Merry Christmas myself. 

Didn't I say they were easy?  Stamps always save the day! 

Here's wishing you a wonderful holiday...

Merry Christmas to you and yours!

Beware of Zombies

Hi Everyone,

I have a quick and easy card share to remind you to join us for our current Trick or Treat challenge  on the DRS Designs blog.  I colored up the Zombie Gal along with the Beware of Zombies Sign stamp and fussy cut them out.  Since I knew this card would be pretty plain, I stamped and colored a second sign post and layered it on top of the first to add a bit of dimension.  I attached these onto an embossed background of a haunted house.

Then I uploaded it to the blog, and I looked at it and thought, hmmmmm....It needs something.  

So I went back and added a few googly eyes to my die cut bats. That seemed to do the trick and make it more complete :).

Also, over the weekend I baked some mini pumpkin pecan loaves as a favor for my dinner guests to take home with them. I made my own tags by cutting a rectangle from some card stock, stamped and colored my Simply Pumpkin and used my corner punch and hole punch to make them look like tags, since I don't have a tag die that large.

Thanks for stopping by and hope to see you at the challenge!

For You From Me

Hi Everyone,

My project today is one that was made in about 5 minutes.  My niece's 18th birthday was last week, but we celebrated over the weekend, so that her sister could come home from college for the party.  I had the gift wrapped, but 15 min before we had to leave, I felt like it need a little something else.  I ran over to my stash, and found these little cherries I had printed out a long time ago from the set Sweet Stuff from Lindsay's Stamp Stuff.  I think I actually squealed with delight at what a good match they were for the paper, so I made a simple tag for an embellishment. 

 

All I did was color it with Copic markers, and layer it on some matching card stock.  I wish I had a stamp that said, "For you from us", but I had no time print anything myself (I said this took 5 min, and for real it did). Luckily I remembered to snap a photo before running out the door ;) 

If you are wondering why I'm not showing you the card I made her, it's because I used a card I made last August.  The family is headed to France for vacation this summer, so I thought this card was perfect.

Anyway, here is the set these useful cherries came from:

That's Jennifer the birthday girl in the middle...Gosh they are just so cute :) 

Thanks for stopping by and be sure to visit Lindsay on her blog today as well.  Have a good one!
