A Pretty Christmas Wreath with Pretty Pink Posh

Hi All! Happy Thanksgiving! Just like everything else this year, Thanksgiving looks a little different this year. But I am thankful my family is healthy and have done okay in our new reality. And I am so thankful to have my creative outlet to help keep me sane! And I thank all of you who stop by my blog, follow me on Instagram, leave me sweet comments, and show me so much support! 

Today I have a Christmas card to share created with the Winter Wreath Stamp Set and Winter Wreath Coordinating Dies from Pretty Pink Posh. See links below. 

I colored the wreath and few flowers and foliage from the stamp set with Copic Markers and then die cut the images. Behind the wreath I added a circle of dark blue Cardstock. I stamped a sentiment from the stamp set in Versamark Ink and embossed with gold embossing powder. 

The frame is die cut with the Winter Frame Die. I die cut from white cardstock and then blended Peeled Paint and Olive Distress Inks. 

Behind the frame I add a piece of Vellum. Before I attached the wreath I splattered the vellum and the Frame with gold paint. Then I attached the wreath to the card front and added the additional flowers and foliage on the the left side of the wreath. I finished off with a few Metallic Gold Jewels. 

Thanks for taking look!

25 Tags of Christmas Tags!

Hi and welcome the 25 Days of Christmas Tags 2020! Today is day 25 and it is time to the Pretty Pink Posh Design Team to share their Christmas Tags. There are a number of ways to win one of the great prizes, including leaving a comment on my blog post! Stop by Tracy's blog, In My Creative Opinion, for all the details. 

Here are my tags! 

To cut the base of each tag I used the Stitched Banner Duo 1 Dies. See links below. I stenciled the background of each tag with the Snowflakes Stencil and white pigment ink. 

Next I created the scene on each tag with the Winter Scene Die. The die cuts each element in the scene. Just choose the colors of cardstock you want to work with, die cut, and inlay the pieces back in the circle. 

I added glitter to the tops of the snow drifts. The sentiment is from the Holiday Signs Stamp Set. I added an eyelet to the top of each tag and attached twine. 

Thanks for taking a look! Leave a comment for a chance to win! And stop by Tracy's Blog for all the details and the other Pretty Pink Posh Designers sharing tags today!!

Snowman Candy Capsule from Taylored Expressions

Hi all! Today Taylored Expressions is releasing a new TE Project Kit - Snowman Candy Capsule. You can  create cute little snowman candy capsules with pom-poms to finish up the top of their hat and a tiny carrot nose die to die cut from orange cardstock and adhere after applying the vinyl face sticker.

First I applied the black decals for the snowmen's faces. Next I die cut the noses from Candy Corn Cardstock and attached the nose to the capsule with glue, just holding it in place for a few seconds. Then I attached the pom moms to the top of each capsule with a glue gun. 

I filled my snowmen with peppermints, but you can use any candy of your choice. You could even put a small gift inside or some cash. If you decide you want to add more the detail you can add a tag. I used the tag die from the Pretty Package Die Set and stamped a sentiment from the Pretty Package - Holiday Tags. 

Stop by the TE Blog for all the details!!

Hi all!! Thanks of stopping by for Day 1 of sneak peeks at the Ink to Paper November Release! I have two projects to share today to kick off my sneak peeks!  Everything will be available for purchase beginning at 10 PM EDT on November 15th!

My first card features the Deer To Me Stamp Set and Dies. I love the artistic style of the deers. I stamped the legs in Dark Chocolate Ink, the body in Kraft Ink, then stamped the antlers in Versamark Ink and embossed with Gold Embossing Powder. 

I attached the deers to a rectangle background that is blended with Speckled Egg and Peeled Paint Distress Inks and splattered with gold paint. I stamped a variety of the flowers and leaves in the Deer to Me Stamp Set and die cut with the Deer to Me dies. 

I used the new Border Bling: Believe Dies to die cut the card front from Avocado Cardstock. I added Aqua Mist cardstock behind the die cuts in the corners. The sentiment from the stamp set is stamped on Vellum in Versamark Ink and embossed with Gold Embossing Powder. I layered the flowers around the sentiment and added a few gold jewels. 

My second card features the Winter Woodlands Stamp Set and Dies. I just love the scene it creates! First I cut a piece of white cardstock to fit the card front. I blended Distress Inks in Blueprint Sketch, Chipped Sapphire, and Black Soot to create the night sky. I spritzed the background with water and splattered white paint to add to the winter feel. 

The front trees are stamped in Versamark Ink on Kraft Cardstock and embossed with white embossing powder. The back trees are stamped on Royal Velvet Cardstock and embossed. I die cut the snow from White Glittered Cardstock and then added the lamp posts on each side. 

I love the option of adding the strings of lights at the top. I added a few sequins to the lights. I finished off with a sentiment from the Winter Woodlands Stamp Set.

To create the background I cut a piece of white cardstock to fit the card front and then die cut the snowflake a number of time. I added color with Speckled Egg Distress Ink. I added the flower with a die from a previous month. 

On my second card I used the tree and border dies. I added stitching to the tree but left the border unstitched. I backed the border with gold glittered cardstock and you see how pretty they look even without the stitching! 

I added gold jewels to the tree and used patterned paper behind the tree.

Taylored Expressions's new Calendar Kit!

Hi! I am excited to sharing the latest kit from Taylored Expressions, The Handcrafted  Calendar Kit! The Kit is available now in the TE Store. 

Calendars are one of our favorite crafts to make, and one of our favorite gifts to give or receive. This year, we’re offering this exclusive Handcrafted Calendar Kit to help you get ready for 2021! It includes everything you need to make a customized 5″ x 8″ calendar designed to hang from a magnetic walnut wood hanger. It comes packaged in a plastic clamshell box with an exclusive kit sticker (perfect for gift-giving!), and includes:

• Walnut Wood Hanger Frame (includes 12″ length of leather cord)
• 5×8 2021 Dated Grid Calendar (12 individual 5″ x 8″ sheets printed on 100 lb. Sugar Cube cardstock)
• Stencil Strips – Calendar (set of 12, numbered to correspond with the months of the year)
• Group Text – Months stamp
• Group Text Die
• Clearly Crafty It’s a Date stamp set

Most items not available to purchase separately. Limited quantity available.

The items that are available to purchase separately for this kit release are: 5×8 2021 Dated Grid Calendar, the Walnut Wood Hanger Frame, 5×8 Clear Calendar Boxes, and the Stamp & Style Pouch.

I started off by creating calendars for the first six month of the year. The stencils are labeled so that you know which stencil goes with which month. 

You can keep the calendars as simple with just the stencil and the month, or embellish with products you already own. For January I added the ice skates with the Little Bits - Ice Skates. I also attached a few Bits & Pieces - Snowflakes. 

All the months are stamped with the Group Text – Months stamp. I stamped with Versamark Ink and embossed with TE White Embossing Powder. Here I added a heart with the Heart Stacklets and the Stitched Heart Stacklets. 

I used the Folk Art - Spring Dies to add the birds and birdhouse. 

For April I just added a few clouds with the Rainbow Cloud Duo and Gumball Ink. 

Here the flowers are added with Mini Bloomers. 

The Mermaid Tale Die seemed perfect for June! 

On the next six months I just stenciled and added the name of the month. And you will be amazed how well the Walnut Wood Handle Frame holds all 12 months!
