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! 

Have a wonderful Wednesday and thanks for stopping by!

PP619 Hanging With Wisteria Wishes

 

I am playing along with Laurie's sketch challenge over at thepaperplayers.blogspot.com with my new to me bundle called Wisteria Wishes from the annual catalog with SU! I used one of my Tea Boutique cards in Starry Sky and cut a white Scalloped Contours die to stamp on. I stamped the branch/leaves in Granny Apple Green ink and the flowers in both Orchid Oasis and Starry Sky inks with two step stamping. I stamped the sentiment on a white banner cut from the Stylish Shapes dies in Starry Sky ink. I finished off with Orchid Oasis matte dots. 

Hope you can play along this week and thanks for stopping by!

Joyful Wishes In Freesia

 

I wanted to do some purple snowflakes with the Joyful Flurry bundle since it arrived so I finally made one.   I am casing a deisgner online for some of the layout but cannot find the person again. I ised a Fresh Freesia base and layered another piece of the same color on top after stamping some snowflakes from the Joyful Flurry set in the same color ink on one side. I then added a strip of silver foil down the middle and some silver snowflakes cut with the Frosted Flurry dies. I stamped the snowflake in Fresh Freesia from the set on white card stock and cut it out with the dies. I stamped the sentiment also in the same ink and punched it out with the 1 3/4" circle punch. I added the irridescent rhinestones and the Wonderful Snowflake cut out to finish it off. 

I hope you have a beautiful Monday and thanks for stopping by!

I stamped the sentiment from the Leaves Of Holly set in Poppy Parade ink and cut it out with the Holly Berry dies. I finished it off with some gold swirl gems for bling.

Mitten Treat Holders

 

I designed these treat holders for my friends at Onstage in Jacksonville Fl over a week ago using the Celebrate With Tags bundle.

I used the mittens from the Celebrate With Tags set stamped in white craft ink on either Pool Party of Balmy Blue card stock and cut out with the matching dies. I cut the white snowflakes witht he set as well as the banner sentiment stamped in Real Red ink. I added a Pool Party gem on the center of the snowflakes.

PP617 Peace With Frosted Snowflakes

 

I made this card for Jaydee's color challenge this week over at thepaperplayers.blogspot.com using the Frosted Snowflake stamp set plus a few items for bling! It is hard to get a good photo from silver foil paper as well as embossed snowflakes. Hope you can see both well. I took a piece of white card stock and stamped the snowflakes on in VersaMark ink. I used clear embossing powder and heat embossed them. I then blended Tahitian Tide ink over them with my blending brush. I cut a strip of silver foil across and ran some Tahitian Tide twine around and added abow to the end. I popped on a Wonderful Snowflake embelly to the side. I stamped the sentiment from the Leaves Of Holly set in VersaMark ink and heat embossed with silver embossing powder on a white Stylish Shapes banner die. I finished off with some rhinestones after I added all to a white base. 

Hope you have a beautiful weekend!
