Showing our Support


The tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary School yesterday left me feeling hopeless, sad and frightened.  I've worked in a Kindergarten classroom and I have two children of my own.  I cannot imagine what the victims went through yesterday and how the survivors and loved ones will endure the days ahead.  My heart goes out to them.  I know it's not much, but my family will be making handmade cards to send to the school.  I wanted to share this with my readers in case you want to do the same.  Feel free to share the image above on your blogs, Facebook pages, etc.

Vintage Christmas Tags

I wanted to join Stampin' Celebration with a little mid-monthspiration for December's challenge.  I made a few gift tags for Christmas.


I love the vintage feel of this first tag.  It's kind of hard to tell in the photo, but I used the Vanilla Shimmer Smooch Spritz on the bird to give it some sparkle like the one in the inspiration photo.


And I love playing with the Seam Binding ribbon.  Here, I pulled a single strand down the middle of the ribbon to give it a gathered, "crinkly" look.


Products Used:
Paper:  Very Vanilla, Crumb Cake, First Edition DSP
Stamps:  Petite Pairs
Ink:  Crumb Cake
Embellishments:  Vintage Faceted Designer Buttons, Twine, Very Vanilla Seam Binding, Crumb Cake Seam Binding, Crochet Trim, Vanilla Shimmer Smooch Spritz
Tools:  Big Shot, Two Tags Die, Adorning Accents Edgelits, Bird Builder Punch

My next two tags were pretty simple using the Stocking Die.  I love how you can cut two sheets of paper at once and have coordinating pieces for the trim on the stocking! Too cute!


I embossed the stockings and added snowflake stamps using the Illuminate Glimmer Watermark Stamp Pad (#126857) from the Holiday Mini.  This ink pad will be carrying over into the Spring Catalog!  Yay!



Products Used:
Paper:  Very Vanilla, Crumb Cake, Old Olive
Stamps:  Jolly Bingo Bits, Dear Santa (retired)
Ink:  Crumb Cake, Illuminate Glimmer Watermark Stamp Pad
Embellishments:  Crumb Cake Seam Binding, Crochet Trim, Vanilla Shimmer Smooch Spritz
Tools:  Big Shot, Stocking Die, Bird Builder Punch, Vintage Wallpaper Embossing Folder, Houndstooth Embossing Folder

Here is the inspiration photo for this month's challenge.
