Christmas Thyme with Club Scrap

 Hello everyone, Today I'm sharing my Beautiful card created using Club Scraps Christmas Thyme Collection. I Absolutely LOVE this collection of Beautiful Design papers and card stock, and my Favorite design paper in this collection is this one used on my card here.
 I chose to make some Cheery Lynn Poinsettia's out of the wine colored card stock, and the other brownish, wine colored one as well. I ran my die through the machine 1 time for each color, glued them together, and then added some of the green card stock for the leaves.

 Now for Club Scraps Tool and Stash Challenge this month is to use some sort of Sparkle (Liquid Glitter) on your card or project. I chose Stickles in a green for the leaves, and a darker green for the wreath on the door. I also used red stickles on the berries under the windows.
My card was created using the green card stock that comes in this collection, the wine colored card stock, and the 1 sheet of design paper for this card.  My card does measure 5 3/4" x 5 3/4"

The Merry Christmas banner is from AC and was from my stash.

Challenges:
Club Scrap Tool & Stash Challenge/Use sparkle on your project

Christmas Wishes Candy Pocket Tags

 Hello everyone, and Happy Friday to you all! Today I wanted to share 5 of 14 tags I created using the BEAUTIFUL Cheery Lynn Designs Dies. I had a blast making these, and created them to bring to our Doll Club Christmas Party, and everyone LOVED them!!! :)
 Of course I had to use the Beautiful Christmas Poinsettia Strip die from Cheery Lynn to create my Gorgeous flowers. They were cut using a striped metallic and regular dp print. I also did my favorite Glass Flower technique on these, as it makes them sturdy and beautiful :)  I love using the wreath strip die, as it cuts the perfect amount for each pocket tag, and that was 7.
 Cheery Lynn Designs Dies Used:
Cheery Lynn wreath strip 7 piece die set B216
Cheery Lynn Poinsettia strip B324
Cheery Lynn Christmas Bell 7 Piece B846
Cheery Lynn Pierced Stacker 3 XL21
Cheery Lynn Mirror CABD-74
Cheery Lynn Designs Oval Classic SM silver Stacker Layers 8

Really Reasonable Ribbon Embellishments & Shimmer Satin Ribbon used!

Challenges:
Craftaholics R Us/Tags and Christmas
Crafty Ribbons/Christmas
Sweet Stampin Christmas/Anything goes
Scrappy Land Challenges/Anything goes /Cheery Lynn dies used
Sisterhood of crafters /use pearls
Stampin Royalty /Holiday Tags
Deep Ocean Challenge/Santa is coming to town
Holly Jolly Christmas Challenge/Anything but a card
Try it on Tuesday /Celebrate (Christmas)
Craft-Dee Bowz/Anything goes with a handmade bow
Crafty Boots/Christmas
 To create my tags I started with Cheery Lynn's Pierced Stacker 3 XL21 using the largest die in this set for the main tag and dp. If you are creating 5 tags you would need to cut 8 greens to give you 5 entire ones, and then cut the others in half to create the pocket, leaving 1 half leftover. Dp pieces were cut using the same die. be sure to add your design paper before adding your pocket.

Next I cut my tag, oval , poinsettia's , holly, and wreath branches and had them all prepped and ready to decorated my pocket. you can also use ric rac, or trip or whatever to border the pocket , and then ribbon to embellish with a bow. I did add some half backed pearls to my flowers too. For these 5 Pocket tags I did add some vintage ric rac to the pocket. On the Oval Classic it was cut in white, stamped sentiment in black, and then added some red dots around the edges.

I really had a lot of fun decorating these up, and adding some fun Christmas candy to each one. The pockets were easy and came together quickly. Love using Cheery Lynn dies as they make for some beautiful crafts!!! 

 I hope you enjoyed my post for today, as I truly enjoyed sharing! Thank you so much for looking!!!

A Hug for Rudolph /Candy Pocket Tag

 Hello everyone and Happy Wednesday to all!
Today I have a Candy Tag I made using I Brake For stamps darling " A Hug For Rudolph" Stamp. I absolutely LOVE making these tags, as they are super fun and easy to create! Perfect for giving as a little gift to a neighbor,  party favor, or for your co-workers.
My image was stamped up in black ink, and then cut out using the oval shape die. Next I airbrushed the background using copic marker. For Rudolph and the sweet little girl I colored them with copics and then used some stickles to give some glitz. I also added stickles to the snowflakes, as you can see they haven't dried yet :) hehehehe

My tag was created using several Cheery Lynn dies, and then added candy to the inside pocket. I made a bunch of candy tags to bring with me to our Christmas Doll club party that is tomorrow :) They are a little different .

The glitzy trim along the pocket is from my stash and is super OLD! Now the ribbon for the tag and bow  is called Chevron  Striped Twill Red and is from Really Reasonable Ribbon, and is one of my many favorites.

A Christmas Kiss

 Hello everyone, and Happy Thursday!!
Today I have another Tag I created for gifts this year. On this tag I used I Brake For Stamps "A Christmas Kiss" stamp, and colored it with copic markers. I figured why not make my own. So I have been busy creating for at least 1 gift per person. I think these will be darling on the packages :) These tags are pretty big, most measure about 4 3/4" x 5" I think this one is 4 3/4" x 4 3/4".
 I love this sweet image, I thought it was too cute! I did enjoy coloring it up and then added some stickles for the glitz on this one. I Brake for Stamps has soooo many darling Christmas stamps, it makes me want them all....hehehehehe

I used all Cheery Lynn die cuts for cutting out my layers, and then added a sticker for the Merry Christmas, but I did punch it out with SU! punches. The Poinsettia is cheery lynn, and the little gems are studio calico. I added some  Really Reasonable Ribbons and then some glitter. Super fun and easy to make tags. So far I think I have made 6 different big tags :) and I still have more to make :)
Thank you so much for looking and have a lovely day!!
Hugs to all,

A Hug for Rudolph

 Hello everyone and Happy Wednesday to you all!
I have to say this was a super fun tag to create using the DARLING I Brake For Stamps image called "A Hug for Rudolph". What a super cute stamp this is! I had fun coloring it up using copics and then some stickles for some glitz.

Tag was super easy to to make. I cut out all my die pieces(Cheery Lynn dies) and used foam tabs to pop them up. Next I stamped my image on white card stock and then cut it out using a cheery lynn circle die, and then airbrushed,a nd colored it up. My Really Reasonable Ribbon bow was created and then hot glued on along with the poinsettia sticker embellishment. I wanted a quick tag as we were getting ready to head out of town :) And this one I think turned out super sweet!!!

I hope you enjoyed my post for today!! Thank you for stopping by, and hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
