Holiday Shaker Tags

By on December 11, 2022 in Christmas, Holidays

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.

SUNSHINE-bears-card-5
Sleepy Bear Card

Hello! Today I am smiling at this Sleepy Bear card that I have to share. It’s a favorite bear stamp set (from Miss Ink Stamps) that I’ve paired with a favorite stencil.





See the video below or on YouTube:














		
		
			
			
		
	






		
		
			
			
		
	





Just how cute are these bears?! This card uses NO MASKING at all…I show you how easy you can build a scene like this in the video above.





I first stamped out all my images, then I stenciled on that sky in greens, blues, and purples!






		
		
			
			
		
	





Next I colored up all the images. I used some Blue-greens on those trees (thinking of a Blue Spruce here!





For some more magic, I added some white embossing paste through the Sparkles stencil on the top; and some glitter on the snowy scene on the bottom of the panel.

Hello! This time of year I am always in need of cute gift card holders, so today I have some EASY gift card holders to share!





I’m using some cute stamps and a new stencil called Cuppa Joe to Go from Miss Ink Stamps. Watch the video below or on YouTube:













These gift card holders are perfect to add into a stocking, hang on the tree or use them like I am this year: as a necklace around a Squishmallow!

SUNSHINE-penguin-card-4-in-hand
Have an Ice Day
By  on November 12, 2022  in Christmas, Holidays, Paper Crafting   

	

	    

Hello! Today I’m excited to be sharing one of my favorite penguin cards I’ve ever made! I do love penguins and especially penguins that make me smile, and this set from Miss Ink Stamps is a favorite.





Watch the video below or on YouTube:














		
		
			
			
		
	





How cute are these penguins?!? I love them..and there are quite a few more penguin images in the stamp set, too. Today I chose 2 penguins and the snowbank for this card.





I started out by stenciling those trees using the treeline stencil. I used a variety of Distress Oxide inks: Tumbled Glass, Uncharted Mariner, Pine Needles, Peeled Paint, and Twisted Citron.






		
		
			
			
		
	





Next, I added some Grit Paste Snowfall and then added some extra glitter while it was still wet. I love a good glitter background!





While that was drying, I colored up those penguins and the snowbank. I embossed the sentiment in white and inked on some Uncharted Mariner ink for a “matching” sentiment.






		
		
			
			
		
	





When the background was dry, I put it all together with foam tape. I also added some glitter paper to the bottom of the panel for extra shine!

I hope you loved this project today! I’ll be back real soon with more cards to share!

SUNSHINE-all-4-lanterns-with-large-lantern-close-up
Light Up Lantern (Mailable!)
By  on November 11, 2022  in Christmas, Holidays   

	

	    






Hello! Welcome to the Collab Hop with Scrappy Tails Crafts and Pear Blossom Press! As you hop along with us, you’re going to see some of the prettiest light-up holiday cards, all featuring your favorite stamps and dies from Scrappy Tails Crafts, and lights from Pear Blossom Press. Get ready for lots of inspiration, and be sure to comment as you hop along, for your chance to win a $25 store credit! 





 Today I’m excited to share a Light Up Lantern card that is completely mailable! This is a genius die set and I really couldn’t stop creating. I have FOUR projects to share with you today.





Watch the video below or on YouTube:














		
		
			
			
		
	






		
		
			
			
		
	





I was inspired by a lantern I have in my home (see that big one in the back?) and so I started out with a cream colored Mini Lantern with black accents. This is the one I share how to add EZ Lights to, so it becomes easy to fold and is completely mailable! You do need a larger envelope to mail it, however: it is so cool and so unique.






		
		
			
			
		
	
EZ Lights on those candles!






		
		
			
			
		
	





Next, I created a BLUE JAY lantern using the Birch Die add on panels and the Cardinal Layering Die set. Yes, I turned the Cardinals into BLUE JAYS! I love this die set so much, and look how you can change up the colors to create an entirely new bird!






		
		
			
			
		
	





You have to check out the video to see how beautiful the sides are using that Birch Tree Add-On die set! I cut the trees out of silver glitter paper and added a blue frame by simply cutting out the inside pieces of the Basic Shaped Lantern Panels. I added some vellum to the inside of each panel to diffuse the light.






		
		
			
			
		
	





The Carolers together with the Holiday Lantern Panel (Christmas Tree) might be one of my favorite combinations! I adore the layering caroler dies…there’s even a caroling DOG in this set! LOL.






		
		
			
			
		
	





For this red lantern, I used the new Lumberjack Plaid Distress Spray Stain for the lantern itself. I cut a striped paper for the topper (hello, candy cane!). The leaves are gorgeous sprayed with Mica Spray Stains in a variety of greens. I loved adding the Red Pearl embellishments. This would also look so pretty with a Cardinal!

If you make a purchase with these links I may receive a small commission. These help me to keep up with blog costs and continue bringing you fun projects. Thank you so much for your support! 












		
		
			
			
		
	





Watch the video for all the details! I hope you enjoyed these projects today. I cannot wait to create centerpieces with these…and also a Slimline card! I still have yet to use the reindeer panel and also build a cardinal. Check out the rest of the beautiful designs that are available for these lanterns, too!
