Holiday Shaker Tags

Hello! Today I have 3 holiday shaker tags to share along with a video on how to put them together! When you have beautiful products like this Tag Along die from Heffy Doodle, it’s easy to build a shaker tag.

Watch the video below or on YouTube:

These tags were all made with some new favorites of mine from Heffy Doodle!

Tag 1: Happy Christmas Elf

For the first tag, I stenciled the Happy stencil on the background with red ink. Then I cut out the Tag Along die using the Tinsel Town paper from Heffy Doodle. (This was a part of their Mega Day sale, and I hope they have in their shop available soon!)

The images, including that happy elf are from Santa’s Village stamp set! I love it with the Christmas die as well. Watch the video to see how to assemble these tags with the shaker Sparkle Mix elements inside!

Tag 2: Santa’s workshop

For this one I changed up the color of the paper, but the images are all from Santa’s Village again. I added a candy cane to Santa’s hand…isn’t that perfect?

Tag 3: Winter Wonderland

The color scheme changed to blue & white for this tag. I love the happy penguin and snowman from the Wanna Build a Snowman stamp set!

The background is the Notre Dame stencil inked up with a light blue ink. Then I stamped on the winter wonderland in blue ink.

Mailbox Gift Set

Hello! Today I am sharing some favorite holiday products that I LOVE to create with. This is a Mailbox set that I made for family members this year.

Aren’t these mailboxes so cute?!? In the spirit of the holiday season, I created red mailboxes with lots of greenery in different colors. I got some different greens using GLITTER PAPER, INK BLENDING, and MICA SPRAYS!

I really think Spellbinders did a beautiful job in creating this array of products. I also used the peppermint stick and the starlight mint with the holiday add-on set.

For the sentiment on the mailbox, I chose to heat emboss in gold embossing powder using the stamp set. They also have a hot foil plate set so you can use foil if you would like!

I used a Postage Stamp Infinity die from Hero Arts for the layer just behind the mailbox. To add a little more interest, I used an embossing folder with a beautiful dot design on that layer.

The back layer is plaid Christmas paper! I love using plaid paper for Christmas and I chose a variety here to mix things up a bit.

I hope you enjoyed these projects today! I can’t wait to give them to my family at our Christmas party. See you soon with more papercrafting projects!

SUNSHINE-Deck-the-Halls-card-2

Deck the Halls!

Hello! Today I have a fun ornament card to share using a new Maker Forte stamp set. I love how large this ornament is, it really creates a full card just by itself.

For this stamp, I used some watercolor markers to color up the stamp itself. First I colored the leaves with a green marker and added some darker greens to just portions of the leaves. I spritzed that with water and stamped it down. Then I used a red marker to color the berries, spritzed the stamp with water and stamped it down.

To color the ornament, I used the A2 Circle Spotlight stencil to mask around the ornament and slowly ink blended on a couple green inks. I made portions darker to give it more dimension (so it looks more round).

Next, I added the ornament topper with a light grey ink and colored it with grey Copic markers. I added an extra sprig of greenery by the topper for more festive look!

I heat embossed both the sentiment and the topper with embossing powders. I used my favorite Rainbow Sparkler embossing powder for that “Deck the Halls.”

I matted the whole panel with red cardstock and added it all to the card base. That’s it!
