The 25 Days of Christmas Tags 2018 – Day 17 Avery Elle

Hello! Today I am sharing two Christmas tags as part of the 25 Days of Christmas Tags event from Day 17 featuring Avery Elle. I was inspired by Tracey’s tag using the Avery Elle Polar Peek-A-Boo set.

I stamped and Copic-colored the moose and deer from Polar Peek-A-Boo and cut the pieces with their coordinating dies. I added Nuvo Morning Dew (dries clear) to the lights on the moose and the nose of the deer.

When the pieces were dry, I added the moose and the deer to tags cut from Stampin’ Up cardstock with the largest die in the Gift Tags set, on which I had heat-embossed the sentiment. I added snowflakes, cut with the now-discontinued Avery Elle Snow Caps die set, and twine.

FA LA LA – Ten-Minute CAS Christmas Card

Hello! Today, I am back with another ten-minute CAS Christmas card. I recently shared a card with the same design here. This time, I created my background with the Echo Park Winter Pines stencil (discontinued) and changed the sentiment to “FA LA LA.”

To begin, I stenciled the background on to Stampin’ Up cardstock. While the background dried, (technically this card took longer than ten minutes since the background had to dry), I cut the sentiment with the Lawn Fawn Cole’s ABCs die set from red cardstock. I adhered the sentiment to a rectangle cut with a die in the Lawn Fawn Small Stitched Rectangle Stackables set.

Best wishes for a terrific week. Mine is full of grocery shopping, cooking, and baking, given the Thanksgiving holiday!

Tim Holtz – CAS Christmas Ornament

Hello! Today I am sharing a CAS Christmas card created with items from the Tim Holtz Stamptember Stamps and Stencils set. I fell in love with this sentiment the moment I saw it!

To create the ornament, I stamped and heat-embossed the sentiment on vellum, which I had backed with double-sided adhesive. I cut the heat-embossed vellum with a circle die and added the ornament top and string, which had been cut from silver foil.

I used the tree stencil from the Tim Holtz set to create the background. I added some Lawn Fawn Mini Snowflakes to complete the scene.

Spellbinders – Merry & Bright Poinsettias

Hello! Today, I am delighted to share a CAS Christmas card created with the Spellbinders Poinsettia die set, part of the Charming Christmas Collection by Becca Feeken. This is my second card using this set, see my first card here.

To begin, I stamped Whip Cream cardstock with light gray ink using the Vintage Notes Stamp. The effect is subtle. I cut the poinsettia blossoms from the stamped white cardstock and the leaves from silver foil. I assembled the blooms using a silver brad.

I heat-embossed one of the Charming Tag Sentiments on a Candy Apple card base, which had been cut with a die in the Vintage Stitched Squares set. To finish off the card, I added Holiday Sparkles Gems.

HO HO HO – Ten-Minute CAS Christmas Card

Hello! Today I am sharing a CAS Christmas card that took almost no time to create.

The card base was stamped with the Taylored Expressions Buffalo Plaid background stamp. I cut the sentiment from glitter cardstock with the Lawn Fun Alpha dies and adhered the letters to a rectangle cut with one of the Small Stitched Rectangle Stacklets. The sentiment panel was attached to the background with foam adhesive squares.

I like this card’s “on trend” background with a little bit of bling from the glitter cardstock.
