12 Tags of Christmas with a Feminine Twist 2015 Day Three

12 Tags of Christmas with a Feminine Twist Graphic 1

I’m sharing another tag as part of the 12 Tags of Christmas with a Feminine Twist at Ellen Hutson’s. This tag was inspired by the ones shown by Laurel Beard and Penny Ward.

Jean Manis Right as Rain

I cut Wax Lips, Candy Necklace, Gumball and white cardstock with the Poppystamps Stocking Garland die and pieced it together. I stamped the Icy Mint cardstock with the sentiment from the Santa’s Flight set with VersaFine ink and cut it with the largest die in the MFT STAX tag set. I used foam adhesive to attach the stocking garland. Super fast and easy!

Supplies: Poppystamps Stocking Garland die

Winter Wishes – Memory Box Cabrini Ornament Die

Today I’m sharing a CAS holiday card showcasing the Memory Box Cabrini Ornament die.

I used the die to cut red, green and brushed silver cardstock, piecing the ornament together. I added a red bow to secure the ornament to the white tag.

Supplies: Memory Box Tiny Bow, American Crafts patterned paper

AEI♥U Challenge #31 – Metallics

It’s time for another AEI♥U Challenge! This month’s theme is Metallics. Here’s my take on the theme in which I incorporated three metallic materials:

Jean Manis Avery Elle Metallics Challenge

I cut the snowflakes (Noel and Snow Caps die sets), mountain tops (Snow Caps die set) and snowy hill (Snow Caps die set) out of white cardstock. The mountains were cut from silver foil paper. The scene’s background is gold glitter paper. The card front (cut with a die in the Custom Panels set) is brushed silver cardstock. For a bit of color, I stamped the sentiment from FA LA LA (and cut with the coordinating die) in red pigment ink.

There’s no limit to how you can interpret this challenge! Check out the inspiration from the rest of the Design Team over on the AEI♥U Challenge Blog!  You’ll also find the InLinkz tool to link up YOUR take on the challenge – we’d love to see your beautiful work in our gallery! There are two $25 Avery Elle Gift Certificates up for grabs for the two best entries!  You have  December  26, 2015 to link up your take on the challenge!

Supplies:

Reverse Confetti “Look for Rainbows”

Today, I’m sharing a CAS encouragement card using Reverse Confetti stamps and dies.

I cut the rainbows out of watercolored paper with one of the dies  in the Weather It Together set (I cut a red rainbow, orange rainbow, green rainbow and blue rainbow each nine times) and adhered the rainbows to the card base. I heat-embossed one of the sentiments from the Shine From Within set on black cardstock and cut it with a die in the Class Act set, adhering the panel to the card base with dimensional adhesive.

No matter what the season, this sentiment is always appropriate!

Avery Elle Seasonal Die Cut Trees + Ellen Hutson Sales

I’m sharing a CAS Christmas card using Avery Elle stamps and dies.

Jean Manis Avery Elle Die Cut Holiday Trees

I used one of the dies in the Snow Caps set to cut the simple trees out of three cardstock colors. I added holly leaves cut with a die in the Season’s Greetings set and hearts with a die in the Finished Frames set. I heat-embossed one of the sentiments in the FA LA LA set, cut it with the Double Pierced Rectangles set and popped it up with foam adhesive.
