Three Kings

I hope that you enjoyed your holidays.  We had a wonderful Christmas with our friends and family. It seems that so much time is spent on getting ready for Christmas and then it's over in a flash.  Our family leaves up our Christmas decor until after Jan 6th so we can celebrate Epiphany.

This is my DT project for the Merry Christmas Challenge blog.  The theme is always Anything Christmas but we do have an optional theme of The Nativity for this challenge.  I chose to use this stamp from Magnolia to make another ornament for my Christmas tree that features the Nativity.

Mickey and Minnie Gift Tags

I made a super simple set of gift tags for the gifts for my daycare kids.  I found Mickey and Minnie Mouse wrapping paper so made the tags to match.  I kept it simple because I know the kids are really more interested in the gift and not the wrapping.

The tags were made using the Mickey Font Cricut cartridge.

Christmas Gift Card Tag

I've been busy baking cookies, attending parties, wrapping and making all the gift tags.  

This is a pocket tag that is sized perfectly for a gift card.  Seems like we give more and more gift cards each year.

My husband and I are both crafters. I made all of the Christmas cards, tags, and baked goodies and he is busy making a stained glass project for each member of our family.

Project Details:

Pocket tag: Tags, Bags, Boxes and More Cricut cartridge cut at 7.25 inches

Truck: Just Because Cricut cartridge

Winter Card

This is my DT project for Simply Magnolia.  The theme this month is to create a winter project. I used Tilda with Little Snowy for my card.

If you already have your cards ready for this year, go ahead and get started on next year's cards or make gift tags or even thank you notes.  

Happy Holidays!!

Dreaming Of A White Christmas

 

This is my last DT card for Crafty Hazel Nut's Christmas Challenge Extra for 2017. You still have time to join in our last challenge of the year. I kept this card flat and free of bulky embellishments so that I could mail it more easily.

The image is from Conie Fong and I had fun coloring her in winter colors. I don't know about you but I like snow but not for Christmas. I think the snow can wait until after all of the holiday traveling.

Christmas Tag

My Christmas cards are done so it's time to get the tags finished. I had fun creating this tag with one of the stamps from the winter kit from Magnolia Stamps.

This is my DT project for The Merry Christmas Challenge.  The theme is always anything goes but there is an optional challenge to make it sparkle.  I am not sure it shows in the picture but the pattern paper I used is sparkly and I added extreme glitter paint to the star and used my red spica pen for the garland on  Tilda's dress.  I also used shabby chic embossing enamel for some extra sparkle.

I hope you join us in the challenge.  Can't wait to see what you make.

Christmas Nutcracker

I had some fun playing with my new Magnolia stamps. I combined a couple from 2 different sets to make this card. Tilda as the nutcracker is from the stamp club kit.  I added Swan Lake Tilda from the Magnolia Day kit to make my card.  I was hoping to create a card for the Nutcracker ballet.

This is my DT card for Addicted To Stamps.  Our challenge is to created a Seasons Greetings card.  If you still have cards to make for the holidays, please join us in the challenge.

Have A Magical Crhristmas

I wanted to make a Christmas card with a non Christmas image.  I saw this Unicorn from Bugaboo Stamps and decided it could make a great Christmas card.  What do you think?

After coloring with copics, I painted the unicorn with extreme glitter paint and added stickles to the mane and tail.  The sentiment I created in Microsoft word.

This is my DT project for Crafty Hazel Nut's Christmas Extra challenge. The theme is always anything Christmas goes and our sponsor is Bugaboo Stamps.
