Christmas Pocket Letter

Hello friends! I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and winter holiday! Today I am sharing a Christmas Pocket Letter I made for a swap.

This was a super fun PL to make! I used a huge variety of things!

I used an older Pink Paislee Snow Village stack for the background paper. The tag is from Jaded Blossom. The Santa suit is from My Creative Time. The sentiment on the tag is from Lawn Fawn's Tiny Tag Sayings stamps.

I love how the sparkly red card stock looks on the Santa suit. Lately, I usually start out with a shaker in the middle. 

The pup is from Cricut's Paper Pups cartridge. I added a Santa Hat using the same sparkly glitter red cardstock. The cardinal is a sticker from Michael's and I added the branch and banner from My Creative Time Teeny Tags die. The sentiment is also from the Lawn Fawn Tiny Tag sayings. The mittens are cuts from Holiday Cakes and Jolly Holidays cartridges. I added doodling, sparkle and buttons for a finishing touch. If I remember correctly the banner is from Jaded Blossom Mini Tag Dies 

.

I used Jaded Blossom's Snowman Dies, Border Dies and Bow Dies. The little owls are a Kristi W. image that I stamped and colored. I added a little bow that I cut from my Cricut and little branches from my Martha Stewart punch.

The bunny on top and the envelope are Lawn Fawn stamps. I really took advantage of the pretty paper and it made it easy for me to embellish!

Here is the backside all stuffed with lots of goodies!

Thanks so much for hoppin by! I hope you have a wonderful day!

Kimono Shaped Card and Cherry Blossom Tag

Hello friends! I am here today to share the card and tag I made for my Mom's 80th Birthday today! Woo Hoo and we are heading out to Universal Studios Hollywood to hang out and celebrate. 

 I think they turned out so pretty! The card base is from SVG Cutting Files called Kimono Trifold Card. I decorated with some Japanese paper I bought on Amazon. The tag is from Jaded Blossom's Treat Tag Dies and the sentiment is from the JB Gift Cards Galore set. 

I embossed the Obi and the tag using the Cuttlebug Herringbone and Oriental Weave embossing folders. The banner is from the JB  Mini Banner Dies 2 set and the sentiment is from the new JB Warrior Princess stamps.

The inside is stamped with the JB So Many Birthdays 2 stamps.

I hope you liked my project and thanks so much for hoppin by!!

Hope you have a blessed day!

3D Sled Tags/Ornaments

Hello my crafty friends! Today I have a 3D Sled Tag/Ornament that I created with my own template! I was looking to make a tag that maybe wouldn't get tossed in the garbage and this is what I came up with. 

I think they turned out super cute!

I uploaded my template into Make The Cut and created my own SVG. I really enjoy creating my own projects from scratch. Especially when I want to craft what I envision and I can't find what I need. I used the tag from Jaded Blossom Mini Tag Dies 2 and the Snowflakes are from the Winter Dies. I added sparkly Eyelash trim,

This Poinsettia is from the Anna's Winter Wonderland Cartridge. I added a lot of sparkle. 

The greenery is also a cut from the Anna's Winter Wonderland Cartridge. I used my Martha Stewart punch to add fullness. 

Thanks so much for hoppin by! 

I hope your holidays are full of love and laughter!

Christmas Tags and Mug Gift Set

Hi friends! I've been busy crafting for Christmas and today I'm sharing these cute tags I made to dress up these mugs I got at TJ Maxx and Marshalls. 

I think they turned out super cute and I think the kids are going to love them!

I filled the mugs with cocoa and candy and wrapped them in plastic bags.

The snowman is from Jaded Blossom's Snowman Dies and the face stamp is the Snowman Face add on stamp. 

I made a dozen of these and packed them up for my daughter to take to school.

I worked on a couple Christmas themed ones for my accompanists. 

This cutie pie Santa is from Cricut's A Quilted Christmas cartridge. I added shading with my Copics and really sparkled him up but I took these pics at night so it was hard to get a good one.

Thanks so much for hopping by!

I hope you have a blessed day!

Coffee Cup Christmas Tags

Hello everyone! I am so excited to be chosen as one of the guest designers for the month of December at Jaded Blossom!  I have so much fun crafting with their products. I made some Christmas tags using the Coffee Dies.

They were so fun to make! The sentiments are from the Happy Brew Year stamps. I stamped and embossed on the banner from Mini Tag Dies 2 and on the coffee sleeves. 

The papers are from my scrap box. It is so nice to use those up with these perfect sized dies! 

The sparkly eyelash trim was a perfect backer for the snowflakes from the Winter Dies. I topped off with some bling and they made perfect embellishments for my tags! 

 

Here is a list with links for the JB products I used:

Coffee Dies

Happy Brew Year

Winter Dies

Mini Tag Dies 2

Winter/Christmas Themed Pocket Letter

Hi Everyone! Today I am on the Jaded Blossom Blog as Guest Designer and I have a Pocket Letter Project to share! 

If you are new to Pocket Letters, they are a fun way to do swaps and send fun goodies by snail mail to your crafty friends. For this swap the theme was Winter/Christmas. I used a bunch of adorable JB stamps and dies!

Here are some close ups:

 I chose blues, silvers, and purples to go with the winter theme. 

 I made the center pocket a window shaker.

I love the critter stamp images and how they fit perfectly inside each pocket. The curtain is from the Cricut Kate's Kitchen and the window is from Creative Cards. I made the rod by using the stirring stick die from the Coffee Dies. The mini bows are from the Bow Dies. 

Here is a list with the links of all the supplies I used to put this PL together:

Coffee Dies

Happy Brew Year

White Christmas

Winter Dies

Snowman Dies

Snowman Faces (add-on) 

Mini Tag Dies 2

Puppy Dress Up
