A Christmas Tag

I made 10 tags like this to put on small gifts for the ladies in my card making group which meets weekly. The gift exchange will take place tomorrow.  I used my CTMH Art Philosophy Cricut cart. The cardstock and DP are retired  from CTMH (over a year old!). I used Stickles on the tree and Liquid Pearls for the snow.  I put the names on the back with Post It tape so the ladies could remove it and then use the tag themselves on a gift.

Here's what the tags look like on the packages:

I bought little cello bags from Joann's.  Each contains 2 rolls of Washi tape wrapped in white tissue.  I hope the ladies like them :)

613 Avenue Create #47 - Anything Goes - Option Create Your Own Challenge

Our new challenge at 613 Avenue Create is a fun one - Create Your Own Challenge using this chart:

Our sponsor is Bugaboo Stamps.  I used the cute Christmas Cupcake - Presents.  Here's my card:  I used Image, Paper Punch, Stickles (& Liquid Pearls), Sequins and Ribbon

I did quite a bit of paper piecing on this card. The cupcake wrapper and the frosting are paper pieced as are the two red bows on the green frosting and the red gift on the right side.  The ribbon on the cupcake wrapper has Christmas Red Stickles as do the bows on the frosting.  The sequins have Liquid Pearls in the centers.  I used a Fiskars Corner Punch for the decorative corners.  It's hard to see, but I also used a Jelly Roll pen to ad a bit of sparkle to the frosting and the ribbons on the presents on the cupcake.  The sentiment is from CTMH.

I'm entering these challenges:  Challenges 4 Everybody #34 - Anything Goes; Dream Valley Challenges #70 - CAS; and Brown Sugar Challenge #69 - Anything Goes.

We want to see what you make so come on over.  You can win 7 free digis from Bugaboo - how cool is that?!

Anything Goes at 613 Avenue Create

Happy Sunday!  Today our challenge at 613 Avenue Create is Anything Goes with a Tic Tac Toe option.  We are pleased to have a new sponsor, Rick St. Dennis.



I decided to get a jump on Christmas cards so I used Rick's I've Been Good Image.  I chose to go straight across the middle of the Tic Tac Toe board:  Sticklers/Glitter, Digital Image and Green. Everything is from my stash.

This cute image reminds me of when my little sister and I would leave a treat for Santa. Visit 613 Avenue Create to get some inspiration from our guest designers and the DT. The ladies have made some wonderful projects.  You'll enjoy seeing them and, hopefully, have even more fun creating your own project to enter into the challenge.

Beachy Birthday Card

This is a birthday card that I made for my youngest son.  He loves the beach so I thought this was appropriate.  Everything came from my stash. I don't know who made the palm tree stamp that I stamped, colored and fussy cut. The sun is a circle punch with Stickles. And I hand cut the sand and inked the edge.  The sentiment is from CTMH.

My son liked the card and I hope you do, too!  I entered my card in two challenges:  Make It Monday (Anything Goes) and Alphabet Challenge Blog (For Men Only).
