Home for Christmas projects

It's only September, I know. Weather is cooling off and it's nowhere near time for the Holidays but you can start crafting. Never a bad time for that. I had so much FUN creating samples from the Home for Christmas collection. Seriously. Many Christmas ideas inspired by the nostalgic look of the Home for Christmas Collection. This look it's not typically my go to style, and at first I thought this might be hard to use, but the cards came together quickly! Tip - cut out and create a few primary embellishments from the designer paper and then go to town.

Thankful Forest Fox Card & Tag

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.

Happy Notes Housewarming cards

Here are two little housewarming cards to go along with the address stamps I recently created for gifts. These cards use the same basic template. Tip: Marker the Happy Notes Welcome stamp to get the variety in color scheme, switch up the embellishments and you will have two very different cards.
