Christmas Tag

Last week I posted some Christmas tags that I made using My Digital Studio.  Today I have a tag I made with good old stamps and paper.  This one uses the Chalk Talk Framelits, and is intended to have a bit of a chalkboard look. 

Tips & Tricks

• The chalkboard look is so easy to create...simply stamp an image or sentiment in Whisper White Craft ink on Basic Black card stock.  Then take a sponge dipped in Whisper White ink and gently dab or rub it in random spots on the card stock...it will look like erased chalk.  I added some Christmas ornaments to this to jazz it up a bit, too.

• Stamp before cutting with your Framelits...that's the best feature of them!  Once you've stamped, you can line up your Framelits around the image, ensuring that it's perfectly straight and aligned!

Supplies

Stamps:  Merry Minis (retired), Ornament Keepsakes, Christmas Greetings (retired)
Ink:  Real Red, Garden Green, and Whisper White
Paper:  Whisper White and Basic Black card stock
Accessories:  Big Shot, Holiday Ornaments Framelits, Chalk Talk Framelits, Merry Minis Punch Pack, Cherry Cobbler Baker's Twine, sponge

Busy Christmas

I know, it's a little busy!  But it's fun.  It's hard to pick out a favorite pattern from the Be of Good Cheer DSP...it's all so great!  And the combination of Cherry Cobbler and Gumball Green is a fun combination for Christmas.  And the little Gumball Green bow is the perfect touch.

Merry {Mini} Christmas!

OK, last Christmas card for a bit.  This card was so super simple to make, and yet that little rosette makes a big statement.  Once again, I used the Be of Good Cheer DSP and Merry Minis.  I also used some retired ribbon, but that's easily substituted with Cherry Cobbler Seam Binding or Scallop Dots Ribbon.  Either would look great!

Christmas CASE

This card is a CASE of this one that I found on Pinterest.  I loved the original, but wanted to try it with Christmas colors.  I didn't add as many embellishments to mine...just  few rhinestones and some ribbon.  The little Christmas trees were stamped with Merry Minis and punched with the coordinating punch pack.  I love those cute little images!
