Elf Made...

Hello!!  I have another Waltzingmouse project to share with you today, and it features a new set called Elf Made.  This set has so many "tag making" features, that I just had to focus on a tag.  I will share my coordinating card tomorrow....RELEASE DAY!!!

I used 6 different stamped images for this Waltzingmouse tag:  No peeking, certified form, red "Passed" circle, elf made, #3, and 2014.  The tag was die cut using the largest Stitched Tags Die (WMS), and the bag was made using a Gift Bag Punch Board (We R Memory Keepers).

That's it for today's project.  Be sure to stop by tomorrow for some more inspiration...and to see the coordinating card to this gift bag.  I did a lot of paper piecing and loved how it turned out.

If you've arrived here from the sweet and talented Silke's blog, you're on the right track.  If not, you'll want to start at the beginning!  Click HERE.

I decided to use the set Save Time from the Blessing Collection.  I had fun with ink and masking for this project!  I started by ripping a piece from the center of copy paper.  I wanted it just large enough to fit the sentiment.  I then place the ripped piece down and inked Tumbled Glass Ranger distress ink around it.  I then took the negative piece and inked Vingtage Photo (Ranger Distress) inside.  I placed the torn piece down again and inked some Vintage Photo around it and along the edges of the tag.

After that, I laid a gold mesh (The Funkie Junkie) down and sponged some Vintage Cream Ink (PTI) over it.  I added some vintage cream splotches for added interest also.  Lastly, I punched a border along some copy paper using an EK Success punch, layed that along the edge of my tag and added some Black Soot (Ranger Distress Ink).  

That's it as far as the inking and masking go.  I added some fun embellishments, wrinkled ribbon and fibers to finish the tag off.  I hope you've been inspired.

Now for some more fabulous inspiration, head on over to the beautiful and creative Betty's blog.

Thanks for visiting!!  

Happy Stamping!!

One layer Christmas Tag

Is it Thursday already? Yikes! Time is flying by. Welcome to the month of December ya'll!!
I have a CCEE Stampers Challenge project to share with you today. We were required to use snowflakes and bling.

Well, my color theme this year for decorating my tree and wrapping my packages is red/white/silver. So I decided to use the Verve set Bright Spirits to make a one layer coordinating tag. The little flourish, I used to hang the ornaments on, is from the set Believe. Everything is embossed with Silver with some red and white glitter added for some sparkle. I used some Martha Stewart dimensional snowflakes to adhere the tag under the bow, and added a punched border to fancy it up a bit. I realize the package wrapping looks black in the photo. I assure you, it's silver. It's just shadowed by the bow and tag. :)

Here's a close-up of the sparkle. If you click on the photo, you can see the ornament sparkle a bit better.

That's it for today ya'll. Thanks so much for stopping by. I hope your December is off to a wonderful start!! :) Be sure to drop by the CCEE Stampers blog to see how the rest of the team has used snowflakes and bling.

Happy Stamping!!

Waltzingmouse November Soap ~ Day 3: Christmas Tag

It's day 3 of this week's Waltzingmouse SOAP. Have you been enjoying all the Christmas inspiration? Well, today I have a tag to share with you using the following Waltzingmouse sets: 2011 Holiday Ornaments, A Cottage Christmas, and Say it Loud-Winter Holiday.

The snowflake was diecut out of Welcome Home BoBunny dp, using the Spellbinders die 2010 Snowflake Pendant. I first ran the tag base through my xyron and then coated it with Latte Opaque Micro Fine glitter by Glitter Ritz. I then glued the diecut tag piece over the top, added some ribbon, lace and silver string with a sweet little Waltzingmouse Ornament that I diecut with Spellbinders' 2011 Heirloom Ornament die.

The tags were punched with the Stampin' Up! Window punch, and I added some Cool Highlights Transparent Micro Fine Glitter by Glitter Ritz to the ornament too. If you click on the photo, you can see the details better.

Here's a list of the other DT members sharing some inspiration today.
