Snowflakes on a Diagonal

Good morning!  It's Holly posting today.  Do you have snow outside your window right now?  I don't have any yet, but we do have some freezing cold weather coming our way later on this week.  I'm ready to hunker down and enjoy some hot cocoa and snuggle under a blanket.

I pulled out one of my favorite stamp sets from Technique Junkies called Snowflakes and played around with them.  On a white card base, I blended some pale blue ink in the upper left corner.  Then I randomly stamped the different snowflakes in different colors in a diagonal line.  I left just enough white space on the bottom half of the card so I could stamp the sentiment.  Both the snowflakes and the sentiment are from the Snowflakes set.

Today (Sunday, Dec. 18) is the last day of the big sale at Technique Junkies.  Some of the stamps have sold out, so grab the ones on your wish list before they are gone.  You can use my code, TJ10Holly, to save an additional 10% on the already discounted prices.  My code will also save you 10% off all of the regular priced stamps as well, such as the Snowflakes set that I used on the card above.  Have fun shopping and have a wonderful day!

  

Christmas Tag Card Idea

 

Mass-produce holiday cards easily by creating large "gift tags" to use as card panels! 

I used the "Retro Ornaments" background stamp for this project. This background stamp is part of the October 2021 NEW STAMP RELEASE, but any background stamp would work great!

Create tags easily by trimming out the background-stamped area to about 4" x 3" (or whatever size you like). Then, LIGHTLY FOLD the rectangle in half (but be careful not to crease). While holding the folded paper, cut the corners off of one edge and unfold. Magic! Keep the cut corners and use on other projects!

Ink the edges of the tags, and add embellishments and sentiments of your choice. For this project, I used the "Snowflakes Set of 9" and a little ribbon and patterned paper from my craft stash.

I also used some snips of green scrap glitter paper instead of ribbon at the top of the tag. And I used one sequin instead of a brad... just because. 😊
