Tim Holtz Feathered Friends Christmas Tags

Hello! Today I am sharing Christmas tags created with Tim Holtz supplies featuring the Feathered Friends die set. I shared a card with this set here.

I heat-embossed the Festive Overlay sentiment on to kraft cardstock, once with Red Geranium and once with Green. I cut the cardstock using the Tag Collection die set.
I sponged white pigment ink through the Flurries stencil, masking the sentiment.
To create the small patches of snow, I stenciled embossing paste through a stencil in the Mini Set 38 and then sprinkled it with Rock Candy Glitter.
I die-cut the Feathered Friends birds from colored cardstock and black cardstock and assembled them; I placed white cardstock behind the wings and the bodies for greater visibility. I added the birds to the tags, as well as twine.

Spellbinders Pre-Black Friday Sale

Hello! I am letting you know that the Spellbinders Pre-Black Friday is here (shop early for the best selection). I am also sharing a few of my favorite holiday cards created over the past several months. Click on the image for the original post; scroll for the list of products used on the cards.

Rubbernecker Santa in a Pickup

Hello! I am sharing a Christmas card created with Rubbernecker supplies and letting you know that today is the first day of their Black Friday Sale. All Clear Stamps Sets are discounted 10% to 35% and over 90% of the Dies are discounted 10% to 50%.

I die-cut the pieces for Santa, the presents, and the pickup and assembled them.
I applied Bridal Tinsel embossing powder to cardstock and cut it with the Pine Tree Forest die.
I stamped the Snowmen with Presents sentiment on to light-blue cardstock and trimmed the panel. I added the Pine Tree Forest and the frame cut with a die in the Rectangle Stitch One Piece set.
I added the assembly to a silver cardstock base and added Santa and the pickup truck to the scene.

Rubbernecker Frosty Fun – Die-cut Snowmen

Hello! After a massive wind and rainstorm, the temps have dropped here in the Pacific Northwest. Today I am sharing a winter-themed card created with Rubbernecker supplies (many of the products can now be found at Brass and Bliss). The card could be sent at Christmas, for a winter birthday, or to catch up with a friend.

I die-cut the Winter Snowmen from a variety of cardstock colors including cardstock to which I had applied Clear Rock Candy Glitter.
I stamped the Snowmen with Presents sentiment on a cardstock panel and trimmed it to fit behind the Deckle Frame.
I die-cut the Pine Tree Forest from white cardstock, trimmed it to fit behind the frame, and adhered the glitter with glue.
I added the frame and background assembly to white canvas cardstock.
The snowmen were added to the scene with foam adhesive.

Spellbinders November 2021 Clubs Blog Hop

Hello! I am delighted to be participating in a blog hop sharing CAS slimline holiday cards created with the Spellbinders November 2021 Club Subscriptions. You should have reached me from the blog of Kathy Clement. (The entire list of participants is included at the end of my post.) For the hop, I created quick-to-make cards with this month’s Large Die of the Month kit “Christmas Foliage Strip & Borders.” I previously shared a card created with the same set here.

To celebrate this release, Spellbinders is giving away a $25 gift certificate to 3 lucky blog readers – selected from the comments on the Spellbinders blog. Giveaway closes on Sunday, November 21st, 11:59 pm MST. The winner will be announced in the blog hop post the following Wednesday. The winner is responsible for shipping cost, duties and taxes. Please note: store credit (gift certificate) cannot be applied to Club Subscriptions; store credit can be applied to shop past Club products, Club extras, and regular releases.

For the first card, I die-cut the floral portion of the Large Die of the Month set three times and adhered the borders to a slimline card base from the same cardstock. I glimmer-foiled the Gifts of Christmas Sentiments sentiment in gold on a darker red cardstock. I die-cut the sentiment with a circle die and added an ornament holder (cut with a die in the Circle Kaleidoscope set).

On the second card, I combined dies in the Large Die of the Month set to cut Snowdrift cardstock. I die-cut a piece of Brushed Gold to back the detailed open area. I die-cut navy cardstock with another die in the set and added that piece to the top. I added the assembly to a Brushed Silver card base. I decorated the card with Santa and reindeer and a sentiment, cut with dies in the Silent Night set, adding a small Gold Gem to the nose of the lead reindeer.

Thanks so much for stopping by! Head next to the blog of Marie Heiderscheit. Scroll for full blog hop list.
