Christmas Shaker Tags

Happy Monday everyone.  I'm back today sharing some sweet Christmas shaker tags and I'm joining in on the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge.  Making tags is such an easy and fun way to add a special touch to your holiday gifts.

For my tags I used the Dashing Deer stamp set from MFT and the Tag Builder Blueprints 5 die-namics along with some Birthday Blowout pattern paper.  This shaker tag was a breeze to put together.  Instead of using foam tape I die cut out the shape of the tag six times to build up the thickness of the tag. This keeps the sides of the tag clean.  Since this tags are small I only needed one image inside and just a few sequins.

Adding just a banner sentiment across the top of my tag and my shaker tag was complete.

Have a great day everyone.  See you back here later in the week.

2017 Holiday Card Series - Day 6 Make A Splash With Color

Hey everyone.  Today wraps up the 2017 Holiday Card Series.  I really hope you have enjoyed the tutorials this year.  I thought today we would end the series off with a splash of color and a bit of gold.  Even though the series is over, I'm far from done with my holiday cards. At this time of year, I just can't seem to stop making pretty holiday cards.  I don't send out many since we do New Year photo cards however I love this time of year and making holiday cards just comes naturally for me.

For the last card I pulled out some Brusho and a beautiful background stamp from Simon Says Stamp called Kaleidoscope.  This pair works fabulously together.  For the sentiment I used a sentiment from the Stained Glass Greetings also from Simon Says Stamp.

You can watch the tutorial here on my blog or over on my Youtube channel mzdanajoy.  I've listed all the products below for your shopping convenience. I have used affiliate links however there is no cost to you.

Have a great day everyone.  See ya back here soon!!!

2017 Holiday Card Series Day 5 - Christmas Joy

Hey everyone.  It's Day 5 and we are sharing some Christmas Joy.  Now we all know there was no way I could not make a card in this series without the word joy in it.  LOL  You may just see the word joy again.  I can't help it I married a very "joy-ful" man.

Today's card we are spreading Christmas joy by making a pretty background and raising some JOY on our card.  I used the Layering Jolly stamp set from Hero Arts and the joy die from Concord and 9th.  This makes such a beautiful card.

Thanks for stopping by today.  See you on Friday.  Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

2017 Holiday Card Series - Day 3 Snowflakes Worth Shaking

Hey everyone.  It's day 3 of the 2017 Holiday Card Series.  I hope you have been enjoying the cards so far.  To start at day you click here.  I thought it was time to shake things up a bit with some pretty snowflakes, sequins and tulle. 

For the card today I used a very soft color palette for my snowflake shaker card. This shaker card was made using a beautiful die from Memory Box called Snowflake Lens.  I'm a sucker for a great snowflake die of any kind.  This one is even better when I can turn it into a shaker card.
 

Using tulle instead of acetate really made my shaker card feel soft and light.  I've really love using the tulle now on my shaker.  Here's another video where I used it to make another shaker card.

Okay everyone.  That's a wrap for today.  Make sure to stop by here tomorrow as I have a special post with a giveaway.  See ya soon!

Merry Making Card Class - Peace and Copics

Happy Friday everyone. I'm sharing another card for the Merry Making card class.  This is such a cool technique and I will definitely be making more of these cards.

To achieve this background I used the abstract triangles background stamp from Simon Says Stamp and Copic markers.  Next I splatted on small gold paint and added a very pretty large sentiment using a stamp set from Paper Smooches.  I'll try to share a tutorial after the class is finished on how this card come together.  

I love bold graphic designs on my cards and this one really is my favorite of all the cards I have made so far during the class. (I know I've only shared two here on my blog but I've made a total of five during the class).  Okay time to get back to "class" and work on my homework.  Best homework to ever have.  LOL  Have a great Friday everyone.  

Merry Making Card Class Participant

Hey peeps.  I'm participating in the Merry Making Online Card Class.  I've participated in a few of the classes on this site and again I'm really enjoying this one.  Here is one of my cards from the class.  I'll be sharing more with you as the class goes along.

For this card I used some distress oxide inks in shades of purple and an older snowflake stamp set from My Favorite Things.  The popped up merry sentiment is from Altenew and the sentiment on the black strip from Lawn Fawn.  

I'll be back with more holiday cards to share my classwork with you.  Have a great day everyone. 

Holiday Gift Giving - Oriental Trading

Hey hey peeps.  Are you ready for the holidays? Well if you're not,  too late love they are here.  LOL  It's time to share some kindness and what better way than to do it with homemade cookies, some candy treats and bottles of wine.  Yes something for everyone.  Nothing to me is better than showing your family, friends and neighbors how much you appreciate them.  And guess what you don't have to break the bank to do it.

You can truly be in style this year and give your goodies in style using some fun and happy products from Oriental Trading.  I love giving a good bottle of wine and who wouldn't want to receive one in an adorable bottle sweater bags.  Look how cute this adorable ugly sweater one is.

 

Like I said I love giving away goodies however I'm not a great bread maker.  So instead of using regular goodie bags to add some holiday candy in, I used super cute Christmas treat containers filled with yummy chocolates, vanilla tootsie rolls and lifesavers.  There is sooo much candy to pick from at Oriental Trading.

Now you can't have wine without something sweet to follow it after a great meal.  I used some cute Christmas trays with bags and tags. I popped in some different kinds of cookies and my packing was complete. How cute are the little Snoopy figures on the bag and tag? 

Speaking for gift giving,  I'm giving myself a little bit of a break to focus on my health and my family.  I'll be back later in the month to share with you a few bits of news and maybe, just maybe an AWESOME giveaway. ;-)  Be safe and be kind to one another!

Hugs and love~
