Gift giving is the best and I enjoy pretty presentation and adding those little extra details to gifts. Usually I follow a similar color theme and look but this year I was across the board. Here are a few this years Holiday trimmings from neighbors gifts to teacher gifts.

Teacher gifts: Coffee cups filled with chocolate. Snow globe tag and Starbucks gift card attached.

I do a bunch of wrapping on Christmas Eve. Need some quick and easy tags for your Christmas gifts? Download this PDF File and print away. Or if you want a stamp brush of these images and more you can download them for FREE at my memories shop.

Neighbor and friend gifts: Berry baskets filled with chocolate and caramel. Hand made/designed tag on wood.

Coworker gifts: Jars of JAM (not homemade this year). Handmade / designed tags on wood.

12 Days of crafts tags with a little berry and wood embellishments.

Merry Christmas EVE!

Thankful Forest Fox Card & Tag

September 5, 2015

I love a reason to make a matching card and tag. Chris need a gift for a colleague at work so I whipped up this Baby Fox card and gift tag using the Fox and Swig images from the Thankful Forest Friends set and the Congratulations image from the Bravo Stamp set. The Fox is holding a tiny baby tag, this baby tag image comes from the Stake Your Claim stamp set.

The Gift tag is tied onto the handles of a silver chevron gift bag.

THANKS A LATTE

Succulents! These little beauties are so on trend right now. I love this July Paper Pumpkin' kit and also the fact that it is perfectly timed with this succulent trend. I think it is my favorite PP kit to date. I sat down last weekend to craft and used up the entire kit contents in one sitting. Guess I'll be buying a replacement kit.

Here are all of my alternates. I only made one card with the suggested template — all of the other projects came together easily just playing around. And here is a link to more alternates for this kit on pinterest.

I switched up the colors for few more projects adding just a little Bermuda Bay to the color palette.

Happy Birthday altered card from the All Shook Up Paper Pumpkin' Kit

Apartment crafting - All Shook Up paper pumpkin

February 4, 2015

I miss my craft room. It may be a few months before I get my supply back. And I'm jonesing... I did pack a few things I could create with for the apartment. I sat down this week to make Kylene a birthday card and a few thank you cards. I figure that I am going to try the card a week challenge again. I was beyond happy to have a paper pumpkin kit on hand that I could work with. I made the three Thank You cards following the exact instructions from the kit - see bottom photo. The Birthday card (above) and the tags are alternate projects I made up adding a little bit of ink and ribbon. Learn more about paper pumpkin here.

Happy Birthday Ky! I hope you had a great party and a wonderful birthday. You are an amazing person. Much love!

Thank You cards from the All Shook Up Paper Pumpkin kit.

Quick 2-color watercolor! I stamped the large orange image in Memento Tuxedo black ink onto cold press watercolor paper. I painted a quick wet wash and then dropped in color into those washes. This stamp set is called Citrus Blooms. 🍊 The card base was created by cutting strips of green cardstock and alternating colors to create diagonal stripes. #cardmaking #stampinup #citrusbloomsbundle #citrusbloomsstampset #cardmaking #cardmakersofinstagram #cardmakingideas #cardmakers #cardmakingreels

I’m loving all the green stripes on this fruity card. This card features the Citrus Blooms stamp set and I’m digging the bold contrast of the stripes behind the painterly image of oranges. 🍊 Play along with our @global_design_project theme challenge this week.

Stamp, stamp, stamp, punch, punch punch, love, love, love. A little repetition never hurt … here’s a peek at how I created this card for the USE YOUR STASH insta hop using an old word stamp set ‘Labels to Love’. Our theme this month is WORDS. I used a small dab of liquid glue to attach the bow. It would not stick! I weighed it down with a clear block until it stuck. Handy tip. #stampinup #useyourstash #cardmaking #cardmaker #cardmakersofinstagram #cardmakingreels #cardmakingreel #labelstolove #lovecard

USE YOUR STASH! This Instagram hop is all about digging into and using your old craft supplies—aka your stash! This month’s theme is WORDS. I’ve held onto many word stamp sets over the years, especially ones I designed. The LOVE image I used here comes from the 'Labels to Love' stamp set that was released in 2016-2017. This was a simple card to create. I stamped the LOVE image in multiple colors, punched them out, and arranged them in a grid pattern on the card front. Do you recognize that old tag punch? It's a classic that will never leave my stash—haha! To make the larger greeting, I die-cut the words LOVE and YOU and combined them. I added a bow from a 50-yard spool of black and white baker's twine that is seemingly endless. Want to see what my friends have created using products they could not give up? Me too!

Butterfly birthday! I used the sketch from @global_design_project #gdp482 challenge to create this card using the Beautiful Butterflies bundle. I followed the sketch fairly close. No thinking required. The glittery butterflies are cut from Pastel Ombre Glimmer Paper, in dark to light.
