Celebrate with Tags | Three Projects | Christmas Blog Hop

Thanks for dropping by my blog today! It's the 15th of the month, and that means it's time once again for our Stamping Symphony blog hop! I love our theme - Christmas 💕

I have a treat for you - 3 fun projects and my Video Tutorial including measurements, which is further down in this post. Everything I've used is available from my Online Store.

This is one of my fave cards ever! Subtle, pretty and Christmas! I've used the Celebrate with Tags Bundle from Stampin' Up! so for each project! And, each project uses patterned paper called Awash in Beauty, which, by the way, isn't Christmas paper, but look how wonderful it looks!

The Celebrate with Tags Bundle comes with 2 different tag dies, and the above uses one of them. You could easily slip a gift card in this tags - how fun is that! You could also use this tag on the front of a card - great versatility!

Are these adorable or what!! The scalloped edging from the die makes this tag extra special! Love it! This time I cut the Awash in Beauty paper with the mitten die, and used my Blending Brush to add a bit of colour to the edges of the mitts to give a bit of definition. I'm a huge fan anything sparkly thus I used Glittered Organdy ribbon and simply tied it through the slot in the tag.

VIDEO TUTORIAL

Watch my YouTube video to see how each of these projects were made.

They're quick and easy and will get lots of oooohs and aaaahs from the recipient!

On each of these fun projects I used White Glimmer paper for just the right amount of gorgeous sparkle! I love when I get loads of use from a bundle, and the Celebrate with Tags bundle with take you through the seasons!

Hello | Heavenly Hollyhocks | Silver Sale-a-bration DSP

Hello my crafty friends! Thank you for stopping by to check out my blog! I've been super busy with my craft room reno, and if you've ever done the same, wow - it's a lot more work than expected, thus this week I don't have a video for you, but I have written a 'card recipe' further down in this post.

Today I'm sharing an elegant card that you'll be able to easily duplicate!

I just received my Stampin' Up! order, and had a fun play with the Heavenly Hollyhocks bundle! Oooh...and in the box was my FREE Silver & Gold Sale-a-bration paper. Sale-a-bration ends August 31, 2022, but with items being available 'while supplies last', order soon! For every $60 spend you get to choose a Sale-a-bration Freebie!

Oh so pretty colour combination!

HEAVENLY HOLLYHOCKS BUNDLE #158880

This is such a beautiful stamp set and the dies are intricate and gorgeous! This is definitely bundle worthy of your craft stash!

This view of my card gives you a close-up look of the two layers of these floral dies. Wondering what pink paper I used? It's from the Awash in Beauty patterned paper. The mottled look has the appearance of texture - love it!

I'm truly amazed how quickly this card came together. Below are the details of how I made my card. Enjoy!

Card Recipe

Card Base - Basic Gray - 4 1/4 x 11, scored at 5 1/2

Layer - Silver & Gold DSP (I used silver) - 3/4 x 5 1/2 - adhere to left side of card front

Pink Floral layer - Awash in Beauty DSP

Top Floral layer - Basic White - adhere Adhesive Sheet then die cut. Next, remove the backing from the adhesive sheet, and starting at the stem, adhere the white layer to the pink layer. Tip: take your time matching up the layers.

Sentiment - stamp in Basic Gray onto Awash in Beauty DSP scrap, then die cut using Stylish Shapes circle die

Ribbon - cut approximately 3" of White Glittered Organdy Ribbon. Fold in half and adhere to the card. Next, add Dimensionals to the back of the sentiment layer and place this layer centered on top of the ribbon

Embellishments - place 5 white Adhesive-Backed Seasonal Sequins on the card

Thank you so much for stopping by!
