ELEGANT CHRISTMAS STAR GIFT BAG AND TAG

HEY BLOGGIES,

I had my card class last evening making the Santa's List cards and gift tags.  It was great fun.   If you look at past posts below, you will see what we made.

For today I have a beautiful Christmas Star single stamp GIFT BAG.  It is floating around the internet and I couldn't wait to make it.

 Versamark and gold embossing powder heat set make up the stars on this beautiful gift bag with tag. Also the Gorgeous Grunge stamp with gold encore ink all over.

 The PEACE ON EARTH banner is stamped with gold encore ink and glued behind the 3-D star gift tag.

 I love the 3-D star hanging from the cherry cobbler tulle bow (clearance rack).

I hope you got your Christmas Star when it was on sale a few weeks ago.  IF not, you can still get it and it is very reasonably priced as a single stamp.


A closer look at the tulle bow and the 3-D star and banner.  I LOVE this gift ensemble and think it would be perfect for TEACHER GIFTS, NEIGHBOR GIFTS, ETC.

ANOTHER AMAZING CHRISTMAS CARD

HI Y'ALL!!  I am back with another Christmas card like I promised.  We ran out of time at my class so we never got to make this card, but they are coming back again so we can make it.  It is an awesome card even if I do say so myself.  And I give a lot of credit to Ann Schach because she gave me this idea with her painted ornament card.  However, no paint used here, only embossing powder.

 Ok, where to begin?  Well, I used very vanilla card stock and put it thru the big shot with the square lattice embossing folder.  That is adhered to the base of the card.  Then I used layers of wild wasabi and cherry cobbler card stock underneath the stamped image.

  I stamped the image with versamark and then used fine gold embossing powder and my heat gun.  After heating the gold embossing powder, I then used my versamarker and painted in the ornaments and used wild wasabi and cherry cobbler embossing powder mixed with iridescent ice embossing powder to make sure it shines a bit.

On the round image I used the iridescent ice mixed with the colors.  On the harlequin ornament I used more straight color without the ice.  On the main gold ornament, I adhered multicolored mini beads (retired) with glue.

I would love to hear what you think of my design.  And again, thanks out to Ann for her beautiful card and the inspiration to make mine.

I am going to use this card for my mail outs to my family and friends this year.  I really enjoyed making it.

If you decide to make a card like mine, I would LOVE to see what you do.  And if you post it on your blog, please give credit back to me.  Thanks!

Happy Thanksgiving next week.  I won't be posting until the holiday is over.
