25 Days of Christmas Tags : Pretty Pink Posh

Hi everyone and welcome to the 12th day of the 25 Days of Christmas Tags event hosted by the fabulous Tracey McNeeley aka In My Creative Opinion ! Today, Pretty Pink Posh designers are showcasing beautiful tags using Pretty Pink Posh products.
Here are my tags featuring Stitched Ornaments Dies set and other new release items.

I started by diecutting 140lb Cold Pressed Watercolor paper using Stitched Ornaments Dies . I chose this paper because it is thick enough to be used as tags and I loved the white color and texture from it.
For each tag, I will share details briefly.

< Tag 1 >

Pine Sprigs were cut from the same 140lb Cold Pressed Watercolor paper. Holly leaf was heat embossed in gold and watercolored.

Small sentiment is from Caroling Critters set.

 Thanks/Thanksgiving 

We are showcasing Altenew Products this week. You don’t have to use them to join in but if you have some we would love to see them used

Here are my cards for challenge inspiration.

I used Glitter Flurries Washitape from Altenew.

For my first card, I stamped sentiments ftom Thanks and Leaves Stamp set which is a part of November Simon Kit on A2 sized 80lb Neenah White paper.

For my front panel, I trimmed a piece of Neenah Texture White into A2 size, then cut a large circle using a circle die. I added splatters of violet and Metallic gold inks over the two panels.

After I foam mounted the front onto my sentiment panel, I adhered cut pices of Glitter Flurries Washitape to make bouquets on top and bottom. Before this I had adhered Glitter Flurries Washitape onto white cardstock, and fussy cut the images.

Here's my second card which is very easy and can be made quickly.

I simply adhered Glitter Flurries Washitape onto white cardstock, and I diecut it using Simon Basic Rectangle Dies. Sentiment is from Thanks and Leaves Stamp set, and I added visual gold accent with Simon's Copper Glitter Paper along the upper and lower lines of sentiment panel.

I embellished my card with more Glitter Flurries Washitape cuts and gold metallic sequins.

So now it’s YOUR turn.

For my tag I used  Critter Sweaters Stamp, Critter Sweaters Dies, and Stitched Dress Up Tag Dies.

I'm in love with the cute Critter Sweaters Stamp and  Critter Sweaters Dies, these days. The biggest bear dies just looks perfect for stand alone tag, isn't it?

For my first tag , I cut papers from Knit Picky 6×6 and Rainbow Christmas using Stitched Dress Up Tag Dies, then I assembled the tag.
 I stamped a sentiment from Critter Sweaters Stamp, and adhered little bunnies in sweaters I made using Critter Sweaters Stamp and  Critter Sweaters Dies. Before adhering bunnies, I put small hill made with Knit Picky Fall 6×6 and Wavy Scallop Stitches dies.

For my secon tag, I made two layers of big bear diecuts using Critter Sweaters Stamp and  Critter Sweaters Dies, punched a hole on top, then inserted an eyelet .

The sweater patterns were heat embossed in white on red colored Neenah Texture Cardstock. I added Ivory Jewels for embellishment. As you can see in the first picture, I stamped a sentiment on the back layer.

I used various ribbons, yarns, twines, and a Tiny Jingle Brad in my stash to embellish my tags.

Before I adhered Hill Diecut to the background, I inked the lower part of the panel with Distress Inks Peacock Feather and Milled Lavender.

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge : Animal Antics

Hi all and welcome to another week on the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge

Thank you for joining us for the Anything But A Card Challenge and we hope you will all join us again this week too.

This week the challenge is

Animal Antics   

We are showcasing Hello Bluebird Products this week. You don't have to use them to join in but if you have some we would love to see them used.

The lovely folks over at Simon Says Stamp are generously giving away a FABULOUS $50 voucher to shop at the  Simon Says Stamp Store! 

Good Luck to everyone! The Design Team is looking forward to seeing your crafty makes and will pop around to visit you ASAP!

Here are my cards for the challenge inspiration. I used Quiet Christmas Set from Hello Bluebird. 

Card No.1

I started  by stamping Quiet Christmas Set on 80lb Neenah White paper using Memento Black Ink, then I colored the images using my Copic Markers.

It was midnight when I was making this , I couldn't use my Scan N Cut because everybody was sleeping and I didn't want to delay my works to another day. I wish I could have bought the Coordinating Dies set, but it had been always out of stock,  reflecting the huge popularity of this set. So fussy cutting was the best I could do, lols. 

For the background, I used one of my Mod Trees panels I had made for SSS October 2018 Release Blog Hop. I ink blended a piece of Bristol paper with Distress inks , Lucky Clover and Cracked Pistachio, splatteted water, and then stamped Mod Trees with similar colors of dye inks. I then splattered white acrylic ink to express snow.

I cut two pieces of side panel using Gingham 6×6, and Stitched Borders 1 die set. Bottom hill was made using Wavy Scallop Stitches Dies and white card stock.

Then I used foam tapes , Glue Dots and glue to assemble a christmas scene. I stamped a sentiment from Winter Scene set using Versafine Onyx Black, then cut it into a fishtail tag using Stitched Banners Dies. Finished off the card by adding Sparkling Clear Snowflakes.

Card No. 2

Since I adored the lovely images from Quiet Christmas Set so much , I couldn't stop stamping and coloring them, ending up with this second card! Used 80lb Neenah White, Memento Black Ink, Copic Markers and White pen.

I trimmed the panel with Wonky Rectangles Dies and added sentiment from Christmas Wishes set, which was heat embossed in white on Schoolhouse Red card stock. I added Silver Glitter Mat behind the sentiment piece. Finally I foam mounted the panel onto Fog Gray Card Base.

So now it’s YOUR turn.
