Adding Tags to a Card Front

Hi, everyone!  Toni here with you today sharing a card using tags as background panels on an A2 holiday card.

Isn't that Spellbinders Dancin' Deer adorable?  FYI that adding the scarf is optional so you could totally use this year-round. 

TIP:  I cut two sets of legs and adhered them together.  The added weight helps with the swinging.

I used the Lawn Fawn Stitched Woodgrain Backdrop for the card front.  I haven't used this one in a while and am kicking myself because it's such a great way to add subtle interest.

On top of that I added a couple of tags, one cut from Lawn Fawn All the Dots 6x6 Paper and the other from an aqua cardstock I added snow to using the Lawn Fawn Snow Flurries Stencil.  I added some leftover LF Snow Flurries Backdrop diecut sparkles as well.  Waste not!

The sentiment is a combination of Honey Bee Holiday Bitty Buzzwords dies and a word from Lawn Fawn Frosty Fairy Friends stamped in Distress Oxide Kitsch Flamingo.

I'll see you again soon.  If you'd like to check out my other creations in the meantime, you can visit my blog, Frankie Helps Craft, my Instagram, or my Pinterest Board.  Have a great rest of your day!

It's Christmastime in the City!

Hello, Doodlebugs friends!  Michele here today with a quick and easy card to add to your holiday stash - it's crunch time now! We need all the quick and easy cards we can get!  But that doesn't mean they can't still sparkle!

I've stamped the Holiday City View background stamp from Pinkfresh Studio in Versafine Tuxedo Black ink and clear heat embossed them.  Then, after cutting panels using one of Spellbinders' Postage Edge Rectangle die, I added the holiday sparkle using some white gold watercolor paint and the teensiest little brush I could get my hands on to add light to the lights, and sparkle to the rooftops!

I like to hand deliver a few thank you cards to those who host our Christmas gatherings...

This sweet Home for the Holidays sentiment set from HoneyBee stamps worked its charm!

I've used the coordinating dies and popped them onto one of my favorite labels dies from Altenew.

Then did it all over again - in reverse!

With more time I think water coloring this entire panel would be so sweet!  Something to look forward to when things slow down, right?

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Unicorn-Themed Treat Boxes/Bag

Hello and happy Wednesday everyone. I am sharing this fun unicorn-themed treat box/bag set with you today. I used the Tiny Gift Box and Tiny Gift Box Unicorn & Horse Add-on die sets from Lawn Fawn for the treat boxes. 

I began by die-cutting the layers to create three unicorns, along with the lovely poinsettias from the Christmas Blooms die set, the candy canes from the Build-A-House Gingerbread Add-on, and the scarf from the Build-A-Snowman die set.  

I then used the Assorted Tags die set to die-cut the small tag for the treat bag. I also die-cut the smaller tag from the Scalloped Tag Square dies set along with a square that fits within it using the Additional Squares die set.

Next, I heat embossed the sentiment from the Dasher stamp set onto the treat bag, and the sentiment from the Mini Merry Messages stamp set onto the tag. To create the snowy layer on top of the small tag I used the Wavy Borders die set. 

I hope you enjoy this fun unicorn-themed set. Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by. I hope you have a wonderful and blessed day.

Tropical Holiday Party Treat Duo

Hi, everyone!  Toni here with you today sharing a treat duo with a birthday or holiday party in mind. I thought of a few members of my family who have birthdays in December as I was making this.  What a fun theme for that time of year!

I upcycled a white mini bag (but you could certainly use something like the Mama Elephant Favor Bag XL instead), but who wants a plain jane white bag?  Not this gal!

So I sponged the bag with Distress Oxide Peacock Feathers and Prize Ribbon then spattered it with water.  Fortunately one of my acrylic blocks was the exact size needed to use inside the bag as a support while I was sponging the sides.

I used the hill from Mama Elephant Slim Card Basics to cut out the beach. 

Note I easily extended the length by cutting one full cut then shifting the die down to the end to continue the cut so I had a long diecut that I could wrap fully around the bag.  I sponged and spattered that with Distress Oxide Vintage Photo and water.

I finished decorating the bag by adding Avery Elle Luau Party lights, Lawn Fawn Beachy Christmas images, and Lawn Fawn Christmas Palm Tree grass.  Let's not forget the Lawn Fawn Henry's ABCs banner with the Luau Party sentiment stamped on a Mama Elephant Let's Chat speech bubble. 

I next turned my attention to the treat tube, which was ultra simple to make.  I cut out and sponged the Lawn Fawn Christmas Palm Tree then adhered it to the tube. I filled the container with chocolate candies in keeping with the surf and turf theme.  Talk about cute!

I'll see you again soon.  If you'd like to check out my other creations in the meantime, you can visit my blog, Frankie Helps Craft, my Instagram, or my Pinterest Board.  Have a great rest of your day!
