Happy Tails & Nine Lives - Stamp Review Crew

Welcome to the Happy Tails & Nine Lives Edition of Stamp Review Crew.

I love both of these bundles but I opted to create a card using the Happy Tails stamp set. I knew I wanted to dress this pooch up with a little pink scarf from the Let it Snow Embellishments.

This card also features a sneak peek of a new embossing folder (Basket Weave) available Jan 3.

What is the Stamp Review Crew? We are an international group of paper crafters that get together to feature and review a single Stampin’ Up! stamp set on the first and third Monday of each month. All of our previous stamp set reviews are archived. Click here to see all of the hops!

Global Design Project - Theme Challenge - GDP219 - Christmas Tree

Hello! Welcome to another Global Design Project challenge. Our theme this week is O’ Christmas Tree. There are loads of stamp sets with tree images that you could turn into a Christmas tee so I know you can play along with us!

I used the Perfectly Plaid stamp set and Wrapped in Plaid Designer Series Paper to make this card. Do you go out and chop down a live Christmas tree? We go back and forth between a real and fake tree. It depends on if we are traveling for the Holidays. This card is for those folks who have found their perfect tree.

Ready for more inspiration? Check out the Global Design Project blog for projects and details on how to play along with us. If you make a project be sure to tag your project #gdp219 so we can see your work!

Festival of Christmas - Gift cards or tags

Hello again! Welcome to another Crafty Festival Of Christmas blog hop. A refresher … I am making and sharing holiday projects every Friday until Christmas in an event my friends and I are calling the ‘CRAFTY Festival of Christmas’. Every week we will feature a different theme.

Check out our previous hops:

1. Snarky or Snowy cards

2. Fancy fold or Mass production projects

3. This week our theme is Gift card holders or tags

I' love decorating gifts and this year and I tagging all those gifts with a little ornament. I like how it pushes the gift a little bit farther.

My mantra this season: Simple, Simple, SIMPLE! Simple is key. It doesn’t take much to add a little handmade flair to those gifts. My Christmas crafting in general is very simple because it is such a busy time of year.

These candy cane ornaments have been dressed up with a few stamped images from the Winter Gifts stamp set and sparkly enamel dots. Easy peasy!

This next set of simple tags incorporates a few craft store goodies (tiny ornaments and plastic fir sprigs). These have been hot glued onto super thick white card stock. The card stock has been punched into a tag shape and stamped with a simple ”to: from:” sentiment. I made a dozen or so of these and have them at the ready to attached to any gift. The generic color scheme makes this easy to coordinate.

I also made a few more gift card holders. Again, simple is key. These gift card holders are folded from wood paper and have a tiny bottle brush tree tied to the plaid belly band. The belly band slides on and off the gift card holder easily.

The gift card holder paper measurement is 3” x 6”. I have scored at 1.75” and 4.25”. These are roll folded. Then, with a hobby blade, I added a few slots on the interior to hold the gift card.

Thanks for visiting and have a great week! The full blog link up can be found below.
