Christmas gift tag

Hello and welcome, 

Today I have a gift tag for a Christmas gift to a collegue at work. 

I started to cut a tag from Kraft cardstock. Then stamped the Christmas tree from CMS476 Winter woodlands with Distress Oxides. Then I masked the stamp and inked the CMS475 Ticking and grain with Lumberjack plaid DI, spritzed with water and then stamped. Dried with my heat tool. 

I inked the edges with DI Ground espresso and then used a glue stick randomly on the edges. Then I used gold foil.

Then I stamped some post stamps from CMS323 Holiday postmarks. 

Then I stamped some images from CMS473 Christmas cartoons (Such a cool set by the way!!!) on Watercolor papaer and then colored with Distress inks and reinkers. I fuzzy cut them and added to the tag with 3D foam. 

I diecut “Joy” from watercolor cardstock with Sizzix die 666330 Big tidings. Then I inked a part of it with Distress embossing ink and used Embossing glaze Rustic wilderness. Heated with embossing gun. Then I inked the rest of the tag and used Embossing glaze Lumberjack plaid. Heated again. Finally I used  Distress crayon in Walnut stain lightly over the glaze, and smeared it out with my slightly damp finger. 

I then spritzed white Distress paint with my splatter brush on the word to imitate snow. Dried with heat tool. 

I also cut the “greenery” from Watercolor paper, inked with Distress inks, and on their berrie I used Distress glitter Clear rock candy. Distress matte medium as glue. 

I also put a piece of string on the top of the tag.

This is the backside of the tag, where I have used Distress inks and some stamps from different Tim Holtz sets. 

I will try this tag over at Simon says stamp Monday challenge - Let it snow.

Hope you will have a nice and Merry Christmas🎄.

Christmas card

Hello and welcome, 

Today I have another Christmas card. I have as usual used Tim Holtz products. 

On this card I have used Tami B’s iron off technique on the Christmas tree. 

First I inked my craft mat with Evergreen bough DI, spritzed with some water and dipped the card (Watercolor cardstock). Then heat set with my heat tool. Then stamped the tree from CMS476 Winter woodlands with Distress embossing ink and put on clear embossing powder. Then heated with my embossing tool. Now the embossing works as a resist. 

For the next step I stamped the other stamp with the pinecones and things with Ground espresso Archival ink. Then I used my Mica spray stains to make the blue background. Then I ironis off the clear embossing powder. 

Next I used the THS115 stencil, Falling stars, and Grit paste Snowfall. 

I stitched around the edges with my sewing machine and inked the edges with Distress ink Ground espresso. 

I then embossed the text stamp with black embossing powder. 

I inked a piece of Watercolor cardstock with Pumice stone DI and stamped the ”Christmas tree advert” stamp with DI Lumberjack plaid. Used my Tiny attacher to attach the piece to a velvet ribbon. 

I attached the card to a piece of Kraft cardstock with 3D adhesive. The Kraft card are also inked on the edges with DI Ground espresso. Then finally mounted to a white cardstock card, which also got inked edges.

I will try this card over at Simon says stamp Monday Challenge  - Let it snow.

Thank you for visiting,

Joy card

Hello and welcome, 

It is soon Christmas and I have done a little bit here and a little bit there on my Christmas cards. But here is a finished card. 

I have used Tim’s products and this ”Joy” dies is one of my favorites this year. (666330) Big tidings. 

For the background I have used Watercolor cardstock and Distress inks. I also stamped the Advert stamp from CMS358 Music and Advert. I then used the THS021 Speckles stencil and Grit paste snowfall. Then I stamped some postage stamps from CMS323 Holiday postmarks. 

I inked around the edges with Ground espresso Distress ink and then stitched around the edges with my sewing machine. The word ”Joy” is diecut from Watercolor cardstock and then inked with Lumberjack plaid Distress ink and then I used Embossing glaze in the same color. Then I used Distress crayon in Walnut stain over the glaze. 

The bow and tree are also cut from Watercolor cardstock and inked with Distress inks. 

The small text are Clipping stickers Christmas which I have adhered with 3D adhesive on some red cardstock. 

I adhered the card to a sanded piece of red cardstock with 3D adhesive, Thank I made a Brown card blank from cardstock and adhered the card also here with 3D adhesive. 

I used a Sakura glitterpen on the star and on the bow for some extra decoration.

I also put a string on the left side of the card. 

I will try this card over at Simon Says stamp Monday challenge - Use dies.
