Christmas Tags with a Candy Cane Twist!

Happy Christmas Day!

In Finland, where I live, Christmas gifs are usually given already on Christmas Eve the 24th of December... But I know most of my international card making friends give their presents on the 25th. Therefore today seems like the perfect day to share a couple of cute gift tags I made for my presents this year. I've used all Hero Arts products for creating these tags and if you'd like to replicate these designs, these are the supplies you'll need:

Bulb Ornament Infinity Dies (available at Simon Says Stamp)

A Little Merri-Mint Stamp and Cut (sentiments and candy canes)

Candy Cane Swag Stamp and Cut (bow and greenery stamps and dies)

Candy Cane Toss Up Stencil (background)

These were super fun and quite quick to make... And made my presents look absolutely brilliant if you ask me! For extra festive touch I've added sparkly Stickles to the greenery and also the heat embossed sentiments (Ranger Liquid Platinum powder) shine beautifully. Some white paint splatters add a touch of snow to my baubles! 

I'd like to join these challenges:

Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge: Sparkle and Shine

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Add a Sentiment

Allsorts Challenge: Anything Goes

Christmas Kickstart Challenge: Anything Christmassy

Die-Cut Divas: Christmas

Merry Christmas!

Hi friends!

Christmas Eve is just around the corner... So it's a good time to share a card I made with a flower die cut Yana's Amaryllis by Spellbinders. This flower is is so pretty... And you can add color to it in various ways. I chose to Copic color the petals and then glue the "frame" part of the flower on top so it has nice dimension too. I love how this turned out! I've used several Spellbinders products in my card:

Soup There It Is - Projects with Hero Studio December Stamp and Cut!

Hi friends!

I'm here to share two fun cards made with the Stamp and Cut of the Month from Hero Studio December release! This release is called Soup There It Is and it's very fun, not only for food lovers... But to everyone who wants to send comforting and encouraging cards. Make sure to check out all the December Studio products HERE! Now let's look at the cards I made!

Card 1 

A Macaroni Shaker Card 

The small pasta pieces in the stamp set immediately made me think of a shaker card! I've colored the pieces with a simple two marker Copic combo and then die cut them. The die cuts 6 pieces at once so it's really fast and easy to use. I stamped a tone on tone background using only stamps from the set... And of course the spoon and the sentiment come from the set too. Find the set HERE. I love how cute this turned out!

Card 2 

A Cup of Love

The stamp set also has cute little florals you can embellish your soup cup with... Or even use your cup as a vase for the flowers and various greenery options. Love the chop sticks, so fun! All stamps are from the Stamp and Cut set  . The die cut pierced background is made with a die from a Die Set of a Month from a couple of months ago, there are still some available HERE. But remember, when the Studio products are gone, they are gone... So buy yours now if you want to make sure you'll get to have them!
