        My fourth Christmas gift tag this year

        I've made this tag for Catch the Bug's Anything But a card Monday post.

        Each year I set myself the goal of making all the Christmas gift tags. Maybe this will be the year I will actually reach my goal?

        This is the fourth gift tag I’ve made so far, featuring a snowman from Bugaboo, placed onto a stenciled background using a Memory Box stencil, blue DI and a brush. I also stamped a Christmas greeting and added ribbon and twine.

          Inkspirational, photo challenge

          We have a new challenge for you over at Inkspirational and this time the challenge is to take inspiration from the photo.
          I was inspired by the colors. I used a never before inked flower stamp with kraft colored ink and I sponged the flowers with orange DI. I also used a brush and blue DI fo the backgound. The flower centres got liquid gold pearls and I stamped a greeting using the same ink as for the flowers. I placed the panel onto a DP from Loawn Fawn, I slit a little pocket for the bottom left corner.

          Please come over to the Inkspirational blog to see what the rest of the crew have made.

            Feminine Christmas card

            I made this card with a Hunkydory topper which came free with a magazine a while back.
            The topper being quite large I just added a die cut frame of red glitter card stock, using a Lawn Fawn die.
            I also I added a heat embossed greeting on vellum, three die cut snowflakes with a pearl on each. This was a really quick make.

            Autumn Fox

            I have made this card for this week's color challenge over at Catch the Bug - I loved the colors in the photo.

            I used the image For Fox Sake,  colored with Promarkers. The DP is Kaisercaft, wooden printed, and I had a left over piece of orange corrugated paper in my stash and raffia. The leaves are Lawn Fawn die cuts and I dipped them in a DI and water mix.

            The papers are from Kaisercaft, so even the tag with the birthday greeting. I used stitched dies for the papers and I added white ribbon and gold string and a attached a gold heart charm.

            Inkspirational, use vellum

            We have a new challenge for you over at Inkspirational and this time the challenge is to use vellum.

            There are lots of ways to use vellum. I usually use vellum for adding sentiments, but this time I went with a shaker design. To avoid any spots of glue showing I chose to stitch my vellum in place after having added sequins for snow. 
            The reindeer are stamped and I used a half circle snowflake border die and a stitched die to frame in the scene.

            CTB Sketch #617 - Reindeer

            The weeks pass so quickly, it's already time for another sketch challenge over at Catch the Bug and this is my take on it. 


            The image is Chibi reindeer, colored with Promarkers, and the DP is Lawn Fawn. I used several brands of dies. As a final touch I added fantage for snow.

            Chrismas card with golden reindeer

            Seeing the sketch over at 52CCT this design idea came to mind.
            I bought this reindeer die from Marianne last weekend, so I die cut one in gold paper and popped it onto a circle and added sequins to mimic the sketch.
            The DPs are from a  Kaiserkraft pad with lovely blue and gold papers.
            The merry die is from Tim Holtz and I used my Dymo again.
            Since there's no staping and coloring involved and I knew what to make this was a ver quick card indeed.
