Nail Polish Gifts

By on December 22, 2021 in Christmas, Gift Ideas, Holidays, Paper Crafting

Hello! I have a fun Nail Polish project to share with you. I’m making some cute folders to hold nail stickers for my family and I thought I’d share it with you.

I think a video is the perfect place to explain all the details…watch it here or in HD on YouTube:

These nail polish bottles are glittery!! When you open up the card, it reveals a little folder holding some nail stickers.

These were fun to make…and I included a little nail file too. Those are super handy when you are putting on nail strips!

I’m often asked what supplies I use to make my cards and projects, so I’ve put together a list using affiliate links when possible. 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!

SUNSHINE-joy-deer-card-1
4 Ways to use Alpha Sets
By  on December 20, 2021  in Christmas, Holidays, Paper Crafting   

	

	    

Hello! Today I’m excited to share 4 more ideas on using Alphabet stamp sets. I have found the BIGGEST alpha stamp set I have ever seen…and my projects today are all using this set.





Watch my video below or in HD on YouTube:













1. Spell It Out





Of course, the first and most obvious use of Alphabet stamps is to spell out a word or a name. But have you ever replaced one of the letters with an image?! This is fun and adds some whimsy to the page.






		
		
			
			
		
	






		
		
			
			
		
	





Also, try stacking your letters for a different look!






		
		
			
			
		
	





2. Monograms and Initial Cards





The letters on this set are so large and that makes them PERFECT for a monogram or Initial Card! These are great for cards AND tags.





Today I made a very non-Christmas initial card for my Daughter-in-Law. Her birthday is this week and often gets mixed up with Christmas. So this is just for her to show that we are celebrating HER on her birthday.






		
		
			
			
		
	





3. As a Background





Letters make a fun background and these large letters really add a pop! Here I repeatedly stamped the word JOY in green ink and then black heat embossed the deer over the top using THIS stamp set.






		
		
			
			
		
	





4. Home Decor





Another really positive aspect of such a large stamp set, is that you can make home decor pieces and signs. Here I made a Merry little sign by heat embossing in gold over a red painted wood block. I added an easy rustic frame and Voila!

Hello! I’m so excited to share with you this merry penguins card using my favorite penguins from Miss Ink Stamps.





Watch the video below or in HD on YouTube:













These sweet penguins have fun accessories you can use including: Santa hats, candy canes, fish, and reindeer antlers! It’s fun to mix and match.






		
		
			
			
		
	





I colored them up with Copics, and added some highlights with a white gel pen and stardust stickles.
