PP621 Made With Love

 

I am playing along with Ann's color challenge this week over at thepaperplayers.blogspot.com and the flash love theme challenge with my stamping group as well. I grabbed a Very Vanilla base and added the piece of Lights Aglow DSP on top of that and a piece of Cherry Cobbler card stock. I cut the tag out from the Celebrations Tag die with another print from the Lights Aglow DSP. I stamped the mittens on Very Vanilla card stock from the Celebrate With Tags set in Evening Evergreen ink and cut them along with the gold foil heart from the Celebrations Tag dies. I stamped on vannila card stock again with the sentiment in Cherry Cobbler ink and cut the made and love with the label die from Celebrations Tag dies. I hand snipped the with. I finished off with some Evening Evergreen gems on the tag, Evening Evergreen open weave ribbon and a little gold trim on the ribbon.

Merry & Bright Gift Card Holder Card

 

Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop!

This month, the theme is Last Minute Gifts/Cards to inspire you with your holiday list. We really hope that you will be enjoy all the amazing creations the Pals are sharing with you! As you hop from blog to blog, we would love for you to leave a comment. You will find the lineup at the end of my post to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal.

My idea with the last minute gift/card was to combine both! I made a regular card and added to the front the tag die to hold a gift card. I started with the Cherry Cobbler base and added Crumb Cake card stock plus a piece of the lovely Lights Aglow DSP. I then cut the gift card hold tag from the Celebrations Tag dies with Crumb Cake card stock and ran the piece of gold & vanilla satin-edge ribbon through the top. I cut another print of the LIghts Aglow DSP with the Stitched Shapes square die for the front of the tag. I stamped the sentiment from the Brightest Glow set in Cherry Cobbler ink on the Crumb Cake die cut from the Labels Aglow dies. A gift card slides easily in and out and you can write inside the card as usual. I kept it simple so it is fast to make when you need that quick last minute gift!

More inspiration awaits, so use the lineup below to visit the rest of the Design Team. The Pals are excited to show you what they’ve created! Then, please mark your calendars for our next blog hop on January 11th when our theme will be Sale-A-Bration Time. The design team will showcase projects made from Sale-A-Bration items.

Until then, have fun in your craft space.

I popped them on a white Scalloped Contours die that I stamped the sentiment on in Gorgeous Grape ink from the Paradise Palms set. I finished with a few Fresh Freesia gems.

North Pole Tags For Candle Gifts

 

First wrapped gifts of the season!

 I used cello bags to add a single wick jar candle from B&BW then I opened my November Paper Pumpkin Kit called From The North Pole to decorate my gift tags in that kit. I did the reindeer one like they had on the sample but the the Holly Jolly one I used a few tags and the sentiment from the kit stamped in Cherry Cobbler ink. I grabbed some different Real Red ribbons I had in my stash and some are retired. Thankful for the kit helping not have to design more tags since I am doing a load of gold and silver ones for my family presents. These candles are going to some friends next week!
