First and foremost, merry Christmas! May you and your loved ones rejoice and enjoy each other's company as you celebrate the birth of our saviour Jesus. Since these dates are also about sharing and giving to others, I decided to make a very simple but elegant project that's perfect for Christmas gift bags or wrapped presents. I made an ornament shaped tag, embellished with a big burlap bow stamped with polka dots. Supplies Ann Butler's 2″ Stripes. Dots.

Days are going by so fast and Christmas is right around the corner, so there's only a few more days left to make beautiful Christmas projects. Today I want to share a tag that I created for Sin City Stamps . To make it I used a very nice stamp set from Sin City Stamps called Steampunk'd Christmas. I honestly love how this tag turned out. I wish the photo made it justice! To make my tag I followed these steps: 1. Stamp and heat emboss in gold the largest gear stamp on a beige cardstock tag. I stamped it twice. 2. Stamp and heat emboss in gold a post stamp on the tag too. 3. Apply Crafter's Ink in Aquamarine and Distress Ink in Vintage Photo to the tag using a sponge applicator. 4. Die cut three poinsettias in white and sponge with ink to match the tag's background. 5. Embellish the poinsettias with aquamarine pearl stickers. 6. Stamp the Christmas word sentiment to a piece of beige cardstock and cut a banner. 7. Apply inks to the banner to match the rest...

Today I want to share a tag I made for this week's challenge at Classy Cards 'n Such : Christmas Tags. I used a lovely pre-printed tag from Fancy Pants Designs' Burlaps and Bouquets collection. I picked the burned red and beige from the tag and added green as a third color, to create a nice, earthy combination. I used beige cardstock for the die cuts entirely and colored them with ink afterwards, that way I could have a hint of beige everywhere. Main Supplies Spellbinders Layered Poinsettia Spellbinders New Fancy Label Tags One Mini Ink Blending Tool 1/2" Scor-Tape  Baby Pearls - LeCreme  I die cut two small poinsettias, and cut some petals from a smaller flower for the leaves too, since the original leaf die was too large to fit the small tag. I colored the poinsettias with Barn Door distress ink and the leaves with Peeled Paint distress ink . I die cut two coordinating labels with the new Spellbinders Fancy Label Tags One. I stenciled the labels ...

I have a Christmas tag to share with you today, made with Ewe-N-Me Printables' Cocoa/Treat Envelope - Holiday Kris 101. I love this vintage Santa image. I printed the Holiday Kris 101 image and die cut the Santa using a label die with a delicate border. I die cut a second label from metallic embossed cardstock in cream. I mounted the Santa image to the metallic die cut and then adhered a white cardstock label on the back too, to add a message. Finally I added glitter glue to the Christmas tree on the image, trying not to wet the paper too much. This framed Santa would certainly look great on a card too! I invite you to experiment with this lovely vintage file and find out what you can come up with! Thanks so much for stopping by.

Hello again! I rarely do two posts the same day but I wanted to share with you a birthday card I made using Avery Elle stamps and dies, combined with some craft metal and other different materials, that ended up looking so well together. It is a simple and layered/freestyle collage card. I added lots of little details around the circular window. The polka dot background is from a digital paper pack that I printed on linen cardstock. I added a 7/8" wide gross grain pink ribbon across the front of the card, vertically and started attaching all my embellishments on top of it. I die cut the flowers from craft metal instead of paper. I used Add a Little Dazzle metal sheets in Pucker Me Pink and Princess Pink. I wanted the flowers to look as organic as possible so I creased and sanded them a bit. The tag was die cut from kraft corrugate paper. To finish the design I added a vellum banner that I heat embossed with a Happy Birthday sentiment. I really enjoyed making thi...

Today I want to share with you a tag I made for  Ewe-n-Me Printables ! I worked with the same collage sheet I used for last friday's vintage card: Collage Sheet - Roses . I, without planning, used the same image from the sheet, only the smaller one (the collage includes two of each image, a small and a large one).  This is a 5 1/2" x 3" tag I stamped, heat embossed, colored and distressed with ink, all on a vintage handwriting patterned paper. The small collage image was also distressed and mounted on the tag. This is a very nice and simple vintage project anyone can try out and it would certainly look very pretty on a gift bag. Thanks so much for stopping by. I hope you liked my tag and that you feel inspired to create some projects of your own with this lovely digitals too!

It is incredible how fast this year is going by, don't you think? A new month begins, and as every first of the month it's time for another Dies R Us Challenge: Gift Tags . Of course our main rule is that you use die cuts on your project. In fact, I tried to add as many as possible to my shabby chic tag! I have been doing so much lately, I was happy to finally get a bit of time for myself to sit on my desk and make my tag. I was instantly inspired... I needed the break badly!
