Great Impressions: Peppermint Easel Card

Hi, everyone!  It's Monday, so that means it's time for me to share another card using fabulous stamps from the Great Impressions online store!  I've got a fun holiday easel card to share with you today...take a peek...

I LOVE this image, E816 Peppermint String, and so I wanted to use it to create a fun patterned paper that covered the front and was used as the easel stop.  I stamped the image down the paper, then colored in the images with Sakura glitter gel pens.

The sentiment, C427 Season's Greetings, was stamped onto vellum and then cut into a banner.  I layered it on to of a few other vellum banners.  It's held in place with staples that were covered by the velvet ribbon down the side.  I added a snowflake for a fun accent. :)

I really LOVE this fun card!  I think this stamp is SO FUN, and I hope you like what I've made with it, too!  I hope you leave me a comment below to let me know your thoughts! :)

That's all for me today, friends.  THANK YOU so much for stopping by to take a peek at my card!  I also would love for you to come and join our monthly challenge!  If you use a stamp from the Great Impressions online store, please link it up in our Customer Gallery, too!  Until next time, HUGS and happy stamping, friends! :)

Paper Sweeties November Release Rewind!

Hi, friends!  It's time for another monthly release for the Paper Sweeties Boutique, and we have some SUPER FABULOUS holiday products to share with you this month!  My offering today is as altered tin filled with fun gift tags.  Take a peek...

I used the *NEW* Stitched Tags #3 Sweet Cuts die set for the tag bases, the Fun Shapess Sweet Cuts dies for the stars, Joy Sweet Cuts dies for the Joy sentiment, and the Snow Friends Sweet Cuts dies for the hearts.  I added Strawberry, Marshmallow, and Grape sequins for texture, sparkle, and shine. :)

Some Licorice Baker's Twine is how I'll attach my tags to gifts.  I added either washi tape or glitter paper to each tag to help the die cut shape stand out a bit more from the patterned paper present die.  And they all fit perfectly in the cute tin I gussied up with the same products to hold them in!

   

 

That's all for me today, friends!  I'll be back next month with more inspiration using *NEW* products from Paper Sweeties!  Make sure to take a peek at the inspiration from the rest of the team, too...

Inspired By Stamping: IBSIC #100!!!

It is a SUPER exciting day because we have reached 100 challenges at Inspired By Stamping!!!  There is TONS of inspiration on the blog, and I chose to go with all the THEME challenges--Nature, Gold, Ribbon, & Vellum!  It translated into a holiday card!  Take a peek...

This card utilizes the GORGEOUS bloom and leaves from the Poinsettias set and a fabulous sentiment from the *NEW* Festive Greetings stamp set.  I stamped the sentiment onto vellum and then added it to the focal panel with staples.  I added some gold sequins and a gold embossed center to the flower for shine...and for the challenge. ;)

I added my focal panel to a card base that had been prepped with some patterned paper and a doily.  I think it just screams holiday, don't you?!  Please leave me a comment below and let me know what you think!

Thanks for stopping by, friends!  That's all for me today!  Hop over to the Inspired By Stamping store to grab these goodies and recreate my project from today!  Don't forget to join in our monthly challenge for your chance to win some goodies, too!  Until next time, HUGS and happy stamping to you all! :)

Ho Ho Ho! Tag

Hi, friends!  I've got a fun and easy holiday tag idea for you today.  It's glittery, and uses traditional colors and fun products from The Stamps of Life!  Check it out...

I used the *NEW* Ho Ho Ho die set for my main sentiment.  I LOVE that the dies from The Stamps of Life come with shadow dies--it makes crafting doubly fun. :) This awesome patterned paper is from the Ho Ho Ho Collection Patterned Paper Pad.

The rest of the supplies for this tag came from the October Card Kit.  I LOVE LOVE LOVE receiving this kit each month--they ALWAYS surprise and delight me!  :) 

I added glitter to the die cut sentiment for some festive sparkle and shine to finish this tag off.  I really adore it--and it was SUPER quick and easy to create!  I hope you like it, too!  Please leave me a comment to let me know your thoughts! :)

I'm entering this tag into these fabulous challenges~
