Good Morning Everyone

Today I have two great things to show you. First up are these gorgeous little gifts tags which will look awesome on any presents sat under the tree and secondly we have out Year End Close Out Sale.... and yes, this #Elfie is available with 20% off...

Take a piece of real red card stock that measures 5" x 2" and cut the top with the Scallop tag topper punch and round the bottom corners with the detail trio punch.

Next stamp the snowflakes from the snowman season's stamp set all over the front and back of the cardstock using real red ink.

Take a piece of whisper white that measure 4 1/8" x 1 7/8" and round all the corners, stamp the to and from wording from snowman season's and add to what will be the back of the tag.

On a scrap stamp out the elf image using memento ink and colour using blends. Fussy cut and stick to the front of the tags.

Finally colour some of the silver edged metallic ribbon using a Call Me Clover Dark Blend and thread through the hole at the top of the tag. Secure in palce with a glue do on the front and back, then wrap around some bakers twine and tie a bow.

These are great for thinning down that scrap drawer amd can really make that present look extra special.

Forever Lovely 'Wishing you a Lovely Day' Greeting Card

Good morning everyone,

It's Monday again! I hope you all have a fab weekend and have a great week planned.

Today my card uses the Forever Lovely stamp set, another set I'm afraid to say has remained uninked for some time. You can create this awesome background by using the two step stamps.

Measurements

Night of Navy Cardstock
1pc - 4 1/8" x 11 3/4", scored at 5 7/8"
1pc - scrap for sentiment

Whisper White Cardstock
2pc - 5 5/8" x 3 7/8"
1pc - scrap for sentiment

On one of the pieces of whisper white start stamping. I found it easier to stamp the flowers in Poppy Parade ink first, then ink up the leaves in Pear Pizzazz, they only fit one way, so take your time to line it up and it will be perfect. Cover the whole of this piece with this image.

Add this panel to the card front which you create by folding the night of navy cardstock along the score line. Place the other piece of whisper white on the inside.

Cut out two ovals, one in night of navy and a smaller one in whisper white. I used the stitched shape dies. Stamp the sentiment onto the whisper white oval and layer onto the night of navy, pop this up on dimensionals in the centre of the card front.

Merry Christmas Snowman Card using Stampin Up Products

Good Afternoon Everyone,

How is your Sunday treating you. We have had a relaxed morning, but next job is a good clean up ready to pop the Christmas Decorations up this evening - I'm so excited... now we have little Imogen, it just seems so much more fun!

Talking of Christmas, I have another Christmas Card to share with you. I'm using the Let it Snow DSP and the Snowman Season's stamp set, I know I only just showed you one with those, but I wanted to show you the amazing variety of cards you can use with this suite of products.

It also happens to fit this week's sketch challenge on Stampin for All on Facebook so I feel it's a Win Win!

Measurements

Coastal Cabana Cardstock
1pc - 4 1/8" x 11 3/4", scored at 5 7/8"

Let it Snow DSP
1pc - 5 5/8" x 2 3/4"
3pc - 2 1/2" x 1 1/2"
Scrap from the hat print.

Whisper White Cardstock
1pc - 5 5/8" x 3 7/8"
Scrap for the Snowmen

Create the card base by folding the coastal cabana cardstock alomg the score line and burnish well.

On the large piece of whisper white, stamp some of the snowflake images in the bottom right hand corner, then add this panel to the inside.

Ink up the sentiment in memento ink and stamp in the centre on the card front, as low down as you can. Add some snow flakes to either side in Coastal Cabana, making sure not to stamp too far up.

Adhere the larger DSP piece to the top of the card, making sure you have an even border around the top and two sides, there should be a reasonable sized gap between the bottom of the DSP and your stamping. Next adhere the three contrasting panels of DSP onto the card front. These should overlap and cover that blank space.

Stamp three snowmen onto scraps of whisper white and cut out using the Snowman Builder punch, also cut out 6 arms in early espresso. Taking the scrap of DSP punch out three of the printed hat's with the same punch.

Colour in the snowmen using a selection of blends and add the the three panels using dimensionals,add a tiny bit of glue to the back of each arm and place accordingly. Finally, add the punched out hats.

Good Morning Magnolia Thank You Card

Good Morning,

I have a lovely, quick and easy thank you card using the Good Morning Magnolia stamp set, this large image is so beautiful I didn't want to do too much more to it, plus with this design it's easy to batch make these and then leave them without a sentiment, for a card for any occasion in super speedy time.

On a piece of whisper white that measures 5 5/8" x 3 7/8", stamp the large magnolia towards the right hand side. Colour in using blends, or any other colouring method you wish. Then stamp to sentiment in the top left.

Add this panel to a card base, made from a piece of Flirty Flamingo cut at 11 3/4" x 4 1/8", scored and folded at 5 7/8".

Finally add a panel of whisper white to the inside and it really is as easy as that. Like I day, perfect for batch making and great to have on hand ready to send.
