Deer Friend - (CTD473)

Hello there!  It's time for this week's Color Throwdown Challenge.  We have some sweet holiday colors for all of us to create with and we hope you'll play along.
For my card, I used the Lawn Fawn stamp set Toboggan Together along with the coordinating dies.  I stamped the deer image and colored it with Copic markers and stamped the trees in spring moss ink and then die cut my out.  I die cut a banner and stamped my Merry Christmas sentiment and then masking off part of the second portion of my sentiment, I stamped the deer friend part of my sentiment onto some Doodlebug Designs pink gingham paper.  I used the Stitched Mini Scallop Square Stax dies and for my  smaller center scalloped piece, I blended on some spun sugar distress ink.  I die cut three snowflakes from white cardstock using the Mini Snowflakes dies and added pink rhinestones to the center of each one.

Dog & Cat Christmas Tags

Hi there!  I'm popping in today to share some fun pet Christmas gift tags I created and some goodie bags I put together for our local Humane Society's Christmas Bazaar.
 I found these cute dog and cat Christmas mugs, along with some dog and cat toys and treats, at TJMaxx and put together two goodie bags to donate for the bazaar.  I used some Lawn Fawn stamps and dies to create my tags.  For the dog Christmas tag I used the stamp set Critters at the Dog Park and for both of the tags I used the Stitched Circle Tags dies and the Happy Happy Happy Add On set for my sentiments along with some scrap Christmas paper for the backgrounds.  Since the Dog & Cat Christmas mugs and matching kitchen towels both had dogs and cats in Christmas sweaters, I decided to use my Copic markers and color in some Christmas sweaters on both of the animals for my tags.
For the cat tag, I used the Lawn Fawn stamp sets Meow You Doin' and for the Santa hat, Toboggan Together.
These were so fun to put together and for such a good cause!
Below are pictures of our fur babies.
Thanks for stopping by!

Merry Christmas Tags - (CTD472)

Hi there, crafty friends!  Cold windy weather is in the forecast for today here in Michigan and I'm working on finishing up my Christmas shopping list.  For today's Color Throwdown Challenge I created a set of chilly penguin tags to go along with my son's teacher gifts which I have wrapped up.  Before I get to my tags, I'd like to welcome our December Guest Designer, Debra James.
 For my tags, I used the adorable Lawn Fawn stamp set, Toboggan Together along with the Toboggan Together die cuts.  I used the Lawn Fawn Stitched Circle Tags and die cut two white tags and two red tags (to go underneath the white tag and for my son to sign).  Next I die cut a circle of light gray cardstock for each and sponged on some gray ink around the edges.  Then I used the Lawn Fawn Stitched Hillside Borders die and die cut my snowy hills.  After that, I stamped all of my images and colored them with Copic markers, stamping the trees in gray ink, and then die cut them out.  For my sentiments, I used the Happy Happy Happy Add On's stamp set and dies along with a Fancy Folded Banner in red cardstock.  For the smaller tags, I used the Tiny Tags die and stamped them with the Tiny Tag Sayings set.  Once I had all of my pieces together, I assembled my tags, popping up the cute penguin with foam tape and I added some silver glitter snowflakes using the Mini Snowflakes dies and glitter paper.  For some finishing touches I added some clear rhinestones in the centers of the snowflakes, some Glossy Accents to the penguins beak and some white glitter to the trees and the penguins Santa hat.
