Bouquet of Blessings

 The new Christmas Berry Bouquet has a lovely, delicate feel. I used a light touch with the coloring here, used the Dotted Branches in the background, and paired it with the Christmas Blessings sentiment. The stamps are here:

Are You in the Holiday Spirit

 Hey Crafty Friends - 

Looking for a fun stamp set to use as you work on your holiday cards? If so I highly encourage you to grab the newly released The Bottle Won't Open stamp set! Check out the below instructions providing steps on how I put this card together. 

• The colors were important so I began looking through my stash of patterned paper to find that special piece of paper. I knew I wanted to use red/cranberry as my main colors with a hint of green to color the leaves. 
• I cut a piece of patterned paper as well as white card stock using a nested deckled edge die. I adhered the patterned paper to the card base and the white card stock to the patterned paper. 
• The sentiment is from the November Release stamp set, The Bottle Won't Open. You can either mask the sentiment or cut the stamp. I am a cutter so I tend to cut stamps. I know I am fearless! LOL The great thing is you put it back together like a puzzle piece. 
• I stamped the portion of the sentiment that read "I'm trying to get in the Holiday Spirit". I colored the banner and leaves using Spectrum Noir Tri Blend Markers. 
• The sentiment was paired with the Gnome for Christmas stamp set. Isn't the Gnome beyond cute??!!
• The Gnome image was stamped in black ink onto the white mat and then again on a scrap piece of white card stock. I colored the image, fussy cut it out and adhered it over the stamped image with 3-D foam tape adding dimension. 
• The cuffs at the end of the gnomes shirt was colored with Stickles to add flair. 
• I added a few bitty sparkles to round out this card. 

Isn't he cute?! 

Thank you for stopping by! I hope you are inspired. Don't forget the new November Release stamps are 15% off through November 8th. All other stamps receive a 10% discount when you use code TJ10Shalana at checkout. Happy Crafting!!

She Made It / He Made it - November 2023

Deb here with one of the November Release stamps for a fun project. I had a creative day with a friend recently and while I made cards, she created some gift bags.  They were so amazing that I thought I'd make a few for this post. The Bottle Won't Open stamp was perfect for my gift bags.

• I bought some Kraft and Red gift bags at Dollar Tree - actually they were 3 for $1.25.
• Red and green plaid patterned paper was cut and adhered to the front of each of the bags.
• I stamped the Bottle image twice on white mixed-media paper with Tuxedo Black Memento ink.
• I also stamped the Bottle image twice on green paper and fussy-cut the banner.
• The 2 stamped images were colored and trimmed.
• I adhered the banners to each of the stamped images.
• Red rhinestones were placed on the sides of each holly leaf cluster.
• I adhered the matted, stamped images to Christmas patterned paper .
• On the bag with the green plaid background, I adhered the holly paper .
• On the red plaid background bag,  I adhered the holiday cups paper.
• I tied a wooden holiday tag to each bag with twine.

Michael Trent and I are both using this Bottle stamp today for our He Made It / She Made It challenge .. We choose a stamp  each month and create with it - see what we come up with. I can't wait to see his project with this stamp !! You can check out his project over at his blog - World of Michael Trent ..

It was fun making these bags - I'll definitely be using the other 4 bags I bought to make more.  I can use them for Christmas gifts !! Thanks for stopping by my post - I'll be creating with a few other new releases throughout the month ..

 

A Floral Merry Christmas

Hello Everyone & Happy November!

I'm excited about the new November release! As always, it is loaded with a wonderful variety of stamps.  Let's start with the new gorgeous scripted Merry Christmas stamp.  It can give a classy pop to the front, inside of your card, or even your envelope flap... then there's gift tags, bookmarks, small gift bags...

On this card it was paired with #S996 Summer Flowers Frame from a previous release. You may have it already.  If not, and you'd like to check it out to see other examples of how the TJ Design team used it,  you can see it here.

To create this card:

1)  Stamp the floral frame around the card. 

2) Die cut a rectangle piece (you can cut a rectangle piece for this and use a corner punch if you have one).

3) Next I stamp the floral frame on parts of the rectangle piece (as much or as little as appeals to you).

4) Then stamp Merry Christmas in red in the center of the rectangle piece.

5) Now the fun part - Get out your green and red shades of markers or colored pencils, grab some coffee, turn on some music, and enjoy coloring the flowers and leaves. I think coloring is calming. How about you?

6) Last - Add foam to the back of the rectangle piece to raise it off the card.  No foam? No problem. Layer a few pieces of scrap card stock together and raise the piece up that way. There's always a way :)

You can find the just released and automatically 15% off November stamps here. 

To save on everything else use discount code TJ10AJ at checkout. 

I wish you a wonderful November and holiday season.

Happy Stamping Crafty Friends,
