It's a Tag, It's a Card, It's...Both!

-

It's Christmas in July! I've got projects/videos for you each day, July 24-28 and this is the first one! It started out as a Christmas tag and turned into a Christmas card! The background was inspired by the pattern on the reverse of the blue snowy field pattern from the One Horse Open Sleigh DSP you see on the tag.




 Measurements

  • Thick Basic White card base (5-1/2" x 8-1/2", scored and folded in half at 4-1/4")
  • Misty Moonlight cardstock (2" x 4", scrap)
  • Basic White cardstock (2" x 4")
  • One Horse Open Sleigh DSP (2" x 3")
  • White Glittered Organdy Ribbon (about 14")
Directions
  1. Insert the Misty Moonlight layer into the tag topper punch (I used the retired Scallop Tag Topper, but you can still get the similar Fancy Tag Topper from the Clearance Rack) and punch. Repeat with Basic White layer.
  2. Adhere the DSP to the Misty Moonlight layer, leaving a small bit of the Misty Moonlight showing at the bottom.
  3. Die cut the tree image from the Misty Moonlight scrap and adhere to the tag front.
  4. Put tag layers together and tie together with the ribbon.
  5. To make into a card, take the largest Water Painter brush and apply a thinned out Crumb Cake ink (thin with the water in the brush) to the Thick Basic White card front.
  6.  Repeat using Pebbled Path ink and the thinnest Water Painter brush. Allow to dry (shouldn't take long if you've kept your touch light).
  7. Adhere tag to card front.
  8. Apply three snowflakes to front of card.

It's Always Beach Time!

Image
 It was rainy and cool all day today, but that's not going to dampen my beach vibes! I was inspired by a card done by a German demonstrator named Antje to create this sweet little card featuring the On the Horizon bundle from the Jan-June mini catalog. This bundle will be retiring at the end of June, but since I live in a beach community, I can't see it retiring from my collection any time soon. Measurements (complete supply list at the bottom of this post) Thick Basic White card base (5-1/2" 8-1/2", scored in half at 4-1/") Basic White scrap Old Olive scrap Chipboard or cardstock for template (4-1/2" x 5-1/2") Directions Cut a circle out of the template material where you want the circle to be on your finished project (centered horizontally but more toward the top than bottom). Place the template over the front of the card. Using Crumb Cake ink pad and a blending brush, apply ink to the lower third of the circle window. Using Balmy Blue ink pad and a b...

Who Wants Some Apple Cider?

 It's apple season in Maine. I have to be honest, I don't pick a lot of apples. Or drink a lot of apple cider. But I do love apple cider doughnuts, so that counts, right? Tonight, I featured the More than Autumn bundle, which was also featured in my Sept. 24th Tune in Tuesday class. I love this bundle and think you will also! Measurements Crumb Cake card base (5-1/2" x 8-1/2", scored and folded in half at 4-1/4") Splendid Autumn DSP (medium green background and deep red background, each 3" x 4-1/2", plus a scrap of the deep red background) Basic White cardstock (5/8" x 3", scraps) Directions Adhere green background layer to card base on an angle, then add the red background layer on top, at a different angle.  Die cut circle from Basic White cardstock. Color the cup with Crumb Cake Stampin' Blends. Stamp cup on the circle using Early Espresso ink. Stamp cup again on the scrap of deep red background paper. Fussy cut the cup sleeve. Adhere t...

Changing Leaves...not quite yet!

Image
 It's still summery here in southern Maine, but the nights are getting cooler and it won't be long before the leaves begin changing. Until then, I have a card for you made with the Changing Leaves bundle, an Online Exclusive from Stampin' Up! It's currently on backorder, but should be in the week of September 9th. And in case you missed my Tune in Tuesday class a few days ago, I've linked to it after the link to the replay of my Friday Night Live where I created this card. Measurements Crumb Cake card base (4-1/4" x 11", scored and folded in half at 5-1/2") Basic White cardstock (4" x 5-1/4", various sizes of scraps for leaves and sentiment) Country Woods DSP (2-3/4" x 4") Linen Thread (four 6" lengths) Directions Adhere DSP layer to Basic White layer. Lay the four lengths of Linen Thread next to each other to cover the area where the DSP meets the Basic White in the middle of the card. Adhere on back side with tape or desired...
