Festive Bag Toppers For Inexpensive Holiday Gifts

I picked up some fun, inexpensive Christmas gifts for neighbors, co-workers, and hostess gifts.  To make them more festive, and appropriate for the holidays, I created some tag toppers using the Goody Bag Topper from Mama Elephant.

To create the floral embellishments, I added some watercolors to some watercolor paper and then cut the flowers and leaves once the paint dried.  I used the Christmas Bird Poinsettia die from Spellbinders for these particular flowers.

The bag toppers were easy to create using the Goody Bag Topper die from Mama Elephant. I cut them from heavy weight cardstock and then added the floral embellishments and sentiment.

 I attached them to the top of several different items using strong adhesive tear tape.  

 

 

I plan to create a few more using the Build A Snowman die from Lawn Fawn.  I thought those would be cute filled with hot cocoa packets and marshmallows.  I'll leave them in a basket at my front door for some holiday cheer and treats for all the amazing delivery drivers.

 

Thank you so much for stopping by.  I hope you're inspired to create something today.

Cup of Cheer

 Lately I've definitely been a fan of color.  It's fun to mix 'n match and try new to me combos.

If you've been following me for a bit, you know I love a caffeinated design. Today's project combines the following products:

• Spellbinders - Merry Mug Creations | dies
• Spellbinders - Santa's Sippin' Sayings | stamp
• Pretty Pink Posh - Winter Foliage | dies
• Altenew - Festive Greenery | 3D Embossing Folder
• Altenew - Glitter Cardstock Set | Gilded

I love the added texture that the embossing folder adds. It is part of a bundle, embossing folder and coordinating stencil.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Joy & Cheer with Cover Dies

Hi friends! This is Amanda from Twiddler's Nook. Today I have more Christmas inspiration for you combining some sweet Pretty Pink Posh images with a fabulous Mama Elephant cover die. Don't forget when you have these awesome dies in your stash because they're often perfect to mix with images from any company. I love the Mama Elephant covers that are designed for the little agenda series. The repeat shapes are a great base and often give you a two-for-one by keeping the windows that cut out for another card.

Today I cut the Mama Elephant Ornament Grid cover die from white cardstock and the toppers from gold glitter. I used liquid glue to adhere all the pieces and set the panel aside. I inked up another panel with Lawn Fawn peacock ink and splattered it with gold watercolor.

While that was drying I pulled out the Pretty Pink Posh Reindeer Friends stamp set to choose my images. I stamped and colored everything with copic markers and used the coordinating dies to cut them all out. Then I stamped and heat embossed a sentiment from Pretty Pink Posh Sentiment Strips: Christmas and used a sentiment strip die to cut it out.

I used liquid glue to adhere my background panel elements together and to a card base. Then I popped everything else up with foam squares and strips. For finishing touches I just added glossy accents to both reindeer noses.

I appreciate you sharing your time with me. Have a fabulous day!

Holiday Joy

Are you someone that designs holiday cards year round or generally after Halloween?  I make them year round so that I have less on my plate in the last quarter of the year.  

I adore reds and pink together. This card came together pretty quickly.  Here are the products I'm featuring:

• Altenew - Joy | die
• Pretty Pink Posh - Candy Canes | layered stencils
• Pretty Pink Posh - Eyelet Rectangle | die
• Altenew - Gilded Glitter | cardstock set

I backed the sentiment in vellum from my stash.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
