AEI♥U Challenge #30 – Holiday Tags

It’s time for another AEI♥U Challenge! This month’s theme is holiday tags, and we’re teaming up with Tracey McNeely’s 25 Days of Christmas Tags Event.

Here’s my holiday tag featuring the moose from the Avery Elle Snow Much Fun set:

I stamped the moose, colored him with Copics and cut him with the Elle-ments companion die. I stamped the banner from the FA LA LA set and cut it with it’s companion die. I cut a snowbank with a die from the Snow Caps set and cut it again with the tag die, adhering it to a tag cut out of blue cardstock.

I also created two more tags in a similar manner featuring other cute images from the Snow Much Fun set!

Freshly Made Sketches #210 – Reverse Confetti JOY

I’m playing along with the Freshly Made Sketches #210 Challenge with Reverse Confetti stamps and dies.

Here’s my take on the sketch:

FMS210

I took some liberty with my CAS design by creating the items/shapes in three sizes and moving them out of line. I cut the snowflakes with the Let It Snow Confetti Cuts and adhered them to die cut circles. I heat-embossed a sentiment from the Tinsel ‘N Trim stamp set and cut it with the banner from the Tag Me Confetti Cuts set.

Trick or Treat CAS Halloween Scene

Today I’m sharing my last Halloween project for the year! I just love black cats and they seem particularly Halloweenish. On November 1, the fall and Halloween cards step aside for all things Thanksgiving and Christmas!

TrickorTreat

This is even more CAS than my usual cards! The sentiment is from Stampin’ Up.

Happy Halloween!
