Giving you the sneak peek at the first set I worked on. Just showing some of the elements that I planned on using for it. I used a Martha Stewart stamp set with a baking theme. I used the gingerbread people and the gingerbread tree and snowflake stamp for a cute little set.
Some more sneak peeks that I shared on Instagram to show my work in progress. This set had a lot of fussy cutting which is so much fun to do. I find it very relaxing because you need to take your time so you don't cut anything you did not want to.
Here we have the gingerbread men and trees on these tags. I used a cute gingerbread themed paper from a paper pad from Recollections at Michaels that I picked up last year. The gingerbread men are raised off the card with the tree stamped on the cirlcle piece. A bow and a few sequins finish off this group of cards.
This
group is for the gals on your list. The gingerbread girl is raised off
and oval stamped with a snowflake gingerbread stamp. The finishing
touches were a white bow and a few sequins.
Here is the complete set featuring the gingerbread stamps. They are 3x3 gift tags with white/gold twine for you to attach the tags to your gifts.
This is a six piece set. The tags were inked up on the top and sides with Tim Holtz Distressed Inks. The stamp is from the Unity Stamp Company called Holiday Joy Christmas Tree. It was stamped using the same Peeled Paint Distressed ink used on the tag. I colored in the tree using eyeshadow, and the heart and ribbons were colored in with a red Ink Joy pen. A paper doily and ribbon finish off these tags. With these I not only stepped out of my comfort zone with doing a tag but also using the doily the way I did. I am trying to do different things with my embellishments on my projects, so just be on the look out for that.
I am just showing you a close up of the tags.

OK here is a cute set of three snowman tags. Are they not adorable? I used the Unity Stamp Comapny rubber stamp called One of a Kind Winter. The snowflakes at the top were embossed with Versamark ink. I used Tim Holtz Faded Jean Distressed ink at the top. It was blended down to do the fade. I used eyeshadows to finish the ombre look. The snowman was stamped in Old Paper. A few sequins were scattered about and I added two crystal snowflakes to the top one being raised in front of the other. And the ribbon says it all: "Let it Snow."
The last one I have to share with you is this nutcracker set. They are 3x3 cards which are inked up on the sides with Tim Holtz Pumice Stone, The edges of the paper are also inked up. The nutcracker is another Unity Stamp from their Very Small Itty Bitty collection from a few years ago. The nutcraker is colored in with colored pencils. The wreath is a sticker from Recollections by Michaels. Season's Greetings is from an great set of stamps by Hampton Art.
OK so I have shared a good bit with you this time and guess what? Stay tuned because I am still working on more tags and I will be sharing them with you. I am trying to get ready for a craft show I am doing on November 19th so there will be a bit of creating going on. After the tags I would like to get some Christmas box card sets done for the show.
