CDD Christmas Bear Gift Tag

Good Evening and I hope that you all had a wonderful Christmas! Today I want to share with you a Christmas Bear Gift Tag that I made!


I used the Super Sweet Digital Stamp from Craftin Desert Diva's called  Little Lovelies Bear with Present that you can find here: http://craftindesertdivas.com/little-lovelies-bear-with-present-digital-stamp/. I also used the Fancy Frames Dies from CDD that you can find here: http://craftindesertdivas.com/fancy-frame-dies/.

To create my gift tag first I just selected a basic tag base from the Cricut Design Space Library. I then uploaded the digial stamp, and then sized my image to fit my tag perfectly. Once I was happy with my design, I then used the print then cut feature to cut out the digi stamp. Next I cut out the tag base from patterned card stock. For the mat behind the digi stamp I used the Fancy Frames Dies and my Big Shot, and cut the mat from patterned card stock.

Once I had everything cut out, I then inked all of the paper edges to add extra dimension. Next I colored the digital stamp with Copics and Prismacolor Premier Pencils. After I was finished coloring my image, I then assembled all of the layers, and used foam tape to attach the digital stamp to add some depth. To finish I added ribbon to the top of the tag, and  then added sequins for some extra sparkle. Thank you so much for stopping by. I hope that you had a fantastic Christmas, and I also wish you a very Happy New Year!

Elf Holiday Hugs Card

Happy Tuesday! Today I want to share with you a Elf Holiday Hugs Card that I made!


To create my card I used this week's Adorable Freebie Digi stamp over at Craftin Desert Divas called Christmas Traditional Elves that you can find here: http://craftindesertdivas.com/christmas-traditional-elves-digi-stamp/.  Don't miss out on adding this fun Digi stamp to your collection, because it is available for free only this week. 

To make my card first I cut out the mats and frames from patterned and plain card stock with the Fancy Frames Dies also from CDD that you can find here: http://craftindesertdivas.com/fancy-frame-dies/ with my Big Shot. I then printed out the digital stamp onto plain card stock and colored in the image with Copics and Prismacolor Premier Pencils. I then used Lukas Artist Grade watercolor paints to paint the background using the wet into wet technique. After my card was dry, I then stamped the sentiment from the Chill Out Stamp Set from CDD that you can find here: http://craftindesertdivas.com/chill-out/

Next I assembled my card and attached the mats and frames, and then attached the digital stamp frame with foam tape for some added dimension.

Elf and Reindeer Christmas Tags

Good Morning! Today I want to share with you some Christmas Tags that I made!



I used one of the new patterns just released from Little Scraps of Heaven Designs called Reindeer in Training that you can find here: http://www.littlescrapsofheavendesigns.com/item_1441/Reindeer-in-Training.htm.

To create my tags, first I uploaded the pattern into Design Space. Next I deleted the parts of the pattern that I did not want to use for my tags. After that I un-grouped each character and then layered all of the pieces together exactly how I wanted the finished tags to look. I then grouped each character again and duplicated the image. Next I selected the duplicate copy and hit weld to create my tag base. Next I selected a basic tag loop from the Cricut Library and then positioned the loop on each tag base and hit weld again so that my tags would have a place to hang them from.

Once I was happy with my design, I then cut out all of the pattern pieces with my Explore in plain and glitter card stock. Next I inked and chalked all of the paper edges to create dimension and shape. After that I assembled everything and attached the character pieces to the tag bases. Next I added sequins, and then tied ribbon to the tops of the tags. To finish I added all of the highlights with a white paint pen. Thank you so much for stopping by and have a fantastic day!
