Santa's Favorite Gift Tags

Good Morning! It is white over here, it snowed at the weekend and because it's so cold it's hanging around.

I'm here today with inspiration for the gifts you are going to be giving during the holidays. Each gift needs a cute tag to go with it and I am going to share 4 with you using Santa's Favorite Digital Stamp Set:



The first 2 have the adorable Santa's Favorite penguins - the little guy fishing and my favorite the penguin in eye glasses:


 

I die cut some tags and mats for my little guys. The penguins were fussy cut with my scan n cut and colored with alcohol markers. I couldn't resist giving one little guy candy cane glasses. I used crystal glaze on the glasses and the other little guy's proud catch! Foam tape was used to adhere them to the tags and some bows and ribbons completed the design.

My second set of tags used the same Santa's Favorite digital set, the remaining penguin is skiing and I decorated a tree for him.


 

Both images were colored with alcohol markers and added to the tags with foam tape. I then added snow writer to the edge of the tree layers and decorated it with red ornaments and of course a star at the top! My little skier had glitter added to his hat pompom and glaze to make his eyes shine. again ribbon and bows completed the tags.

Thank you for stopping by. I will be back during the month with more inspiration from Joy Clair. Also my teamies will be sharing with you over on the Joy Clair Facebook Group.

Make A Wish at Christmas

Good Morning! hope everyone is ready for Christmas. If you need to make some last minute cards Joy Clair have the products you need! Digital stamps work great for last minute papercrafts as you don't have to wait for them to arrive, you can download them instantly!

My card today uses 2 of the digital sets available:



I first used Make a Wish, resizing the row of gifts so they fit great on a slimline card. I then used Santa's Favorite for my sentiments. they were resized and printed along the top of my row of gifts. Aqua and purple are one of my favorite holiday combinations so the gifts were colored and a few gold touches and white highlights added with gel pens. Finally I matted a slimline card base with gold and aqua cardstock before adding my image.



So if you have any last minute cards to make these sets make great quick and simple cards.

Thank you for stopping by. I will be back during the month with more inspiration from Joy Clair. Also my teamies will be sharing with you over on the Joy Clair Facebook Group.

I'm Santa's Favorite

 Good Morning! We had our first proper snow fall on Monday night which means Christmas isn't far away and I am far from ready how about you? So I'm sharing some holiday inspiration using the Santa's Favorite digital set. I love the cute penguins in this kit especially the one wearing eye glasses:



Isn't he the cutest! I colored both him and the tree with Copic markers, leaving white areas on the tree to indicate snow. Once colored, I fussy cut them both and moved onto making my scene for them. I laid a snowy stencil on white stamping card and inked through with pale blue ink for snow fall. I then chose a sentiment from the same collection and printed this onto my stenciled card.


I matted this onto an A2 grey card base, giving dimension with a foam layer in between. I added my tree with wet glue and my little shortsighted penguin with foam squares. Finally I added crystal glaze to his glasses for the lenses.

Thank you for stopping by. I will be back during the month with more inspiration from Joy Clair. Also my teamies will be sharing with you over on the Joy Clair Facebook Group.
