Snowmen GiftTagz

I don't know about you, but I'm starting to think about Christmas. Not ready to wrap presents yet - but I know that day is coming all too soon.

This year, Anna released the absolute cutest snowmen (here) I think I have ever seen. I immediately fell in love with the little guys - and thought how great they would look on gift tags.

These tags are so easy to make - just print the included pdf, punch with a 2" circle punch, add hole and ribbon or twine - and you are all set!

Note: I used matte presentation paper for my Epson printer which gives a nice crisp image.

Hope these help to make your holiday a little cuter and a bit less stressful!

Thanks for stopping by!

 

Glittery Holiday Thank You

Sharing a card of mine that was published in the recent Nov/Dec Paper Crafts. I know it's a little early to be thinking of holiday "thank you" cards - but just like the holidays, the time will be here before you know it. This card was inspired by a gift bag I saw last Christmas time and could easily be customized with a holiday greeting. The colors of the card looked very dull in my copy of the magazine. This is a more true representation of the card. Bright and cheery!

SUPPLIES Cardstock:  Bazzill (Irish Eyes embossed cardstock), AC Cardstock (Leaf Glitter Palettes), Clear Stamps:  Loving Words (Ali Edwards for Technique Tuesday), Ink:  Versamark, Other:  Ranger (Rich Red Embossing Powder), Martha Stewart (Baker's Twine), Paper Trey (Spring Moss Satin Ribbon), Making Memories (large eyelets), Spellbinders (Tags 5 die)

Thankful For You - photo version

I posted the hybrid version of this card here.

It struck me that this card design might be cool using photos instead of leaves, so I took the template and made a personalized photo version with a favorite photo of my son.

 

Sort of "Andy Warhol meets Thanksgiving"...a little bit of a strange combination - but tells a sweet story to a special someone in your life.

The digital and hybrid versions are now available in the store. The digital version includes bonus instructions for how to personalize the template to create the photo card.

I'm thankful for you who have stopped by today!

 

Happy Autumn

Here is a quite versatile fall card with interchangeable greetings supplied for Happy Birthday, Happy Autumn and Happy Thanksgiving. I used it for many of my fall birthdays and even customized it to make a Happy Anniversary version for my brother! 

SUPPLIES  ArtPlay Palette Autumn Crisp (Anna Aspnes), Matte presentation paper supported by your printer, matte photo paper for your printer model, 1” square punch (EK Success), Flower – Pixie Tin Emma (Prima), Foam layering tape

Again, we have a hybrid and digital version. The hybrid version gives you the square images to be printed on photo paper (for a nice crisp print) and then punched out with a 1" square punch. 

 

Thanks for stopping by today. Hope you are having a fabulous fall!
