25 Days of Christmas Tags with Reverse Confetti

Today, the designers at Reverse Confetti have created tags for Tracey McNeeley's 25 Days of Christmas Tags!!  This is Tracey's FIFTH YEAR hosting this 25 day event...and today is Reverse Confetti's day!!  I made a gift card tag...easy peasy but cutie patootie!!...

Simply created by using a Reverse Confetti Holly Jolly Quick Card Panel that I die cut with a Gift Card Holder Tag Confetti Cut die.  I die cut a second holder from white cardstock and adhered to the back of the actual holder.  I used the Hang Ups Confetti Cuts die to make a hanger for the die to your package.  Being that the holder had the word "Believe" printed on it, made it perfect for Santa's reindeer...a cute Walmart gift card.  Here's a close up of the holder and card...
Here's a list of the Reverse Confetti products I used on my tag:


Hope you will check out all the design team creations on the Reverse Confetti Blog and on Tracey McNeeley's blog:)!!  Tags are SO MUCH FUN!!!

Two Joys

I LOVE the new Big Christmas sentiment dies from Simon Says Stamp, Joy and Peace...today a couple of cards using the Big Joy dies...inspired by some WalMart gift bags...
I die cut and layered the sentiments.  I die cut a circle from shiny silver and then die cut a snowflake from the circle (I DID cut apart my snowflakes with my metal snippers to allow me to die cut them separately).  I used the topper from the Lulu ornament to give my "O ornament" a hanger.  Simply done...
The second one, I used the same Joy die  with the same idea as the first with a different color scheme and layout...
Shiny silver red paper for the "O"...
Love how easy it is to make sweet cards for Christmas with these wonderful dies!!  It's back to hanging with my sister who's in town visitng me and my family!!  Thanks for visiting me today!! Hugs!! Lisa

Winter Greetings

I am loving this red striped paper that I purchased at AC Moore...have been using it on SO MANY of my Christmas cards...it is heavy and wonderfully colored.  I paired it with a  Poppy die, Snowflake Ribbon and made a winter card...
 I layered the Snowflake Ribbon with 2 layers of cardstock, and added a piece of die cut silver in the middle of the two white strips as well as a white heart to the center of the snowflake.  The sentiment is from Lil Inker Designs.  Here's a close up...

Full of Thankfulness

Not having done many Fall/Thanksgiving cards, I've made one today, using a BUNCH of Simon Says Stamp sentiments all stamped together as one...
I put all the sentiment stamps on one acrylic block...
 I stamped them on watercolor paper with versamark and white embossed.  I watercolored over the sentimtments...
 I used an old Spellbinder Maple Leaf die, and then after die cutting from panel, positioned the aperture over the stamped/watercolored sentiments...
I cut off the four overhanging edges, and popped up the top panel over the sentiments(there is one sentiment from a discontinued set, For the Record)...
You could make a bunch of these all at once...I know because I did!!  FUN!!  Thanks for visiting me today!! Hugs!! Lisa

Peace on Earth

Today, I've made a card using the new Simon Says Stamp Big Peace die and coordinating Big Add Ons stamp set!  I also used the Simon Says Stamp Falling Snow background stamp and some Peerless Watercolor paints to give my card a kind of  "peaceful" look and feel...
I layered each of the "PEACE" letters to give them some depth, but die cut the top layer of the "PEACE" directly from the watercolored panel.  Here's a close up...

Merry Christmas in the Round

I used the new Simon Says Stamp Christmas Token die as my image AND sentiment on today's card...
I die cut the token and used a black and red marker to color the sentiment and frame strips of the die cut token.  I first colored the red (and a bit sloppy) and finished with the black...(covering up all the spaces I colored much less than perfect)...
 I layered, then popped up over a white card.  Added a black string bow.  Super fun...love to color!! Hope your week is going well!!
