AUTHENTIQUE PAPER: Stamped and Watercolored Wobble Snowfall Collection Tags

Hello! It's getting to the point in the year where the gifts are starting to pile under the tree, and I am starting to run out of gift tags. For today's post, I created a sweet gift tag set using the Snowfall Collection. These are super easy to make, and just take a bit of time.

I started with the cute Snowfall Collection, and then painted the three children to match the colors in the collection. I really loved adding a bit more of the red tones, as they added a cute Christmas flair to this collection. This way I could use the fun colors into the Christmas season.

 

Each of the children images are stamped and cut using the Bundled Up Bundle from Concord and 9th, then painted with Jack Richeson Collegiate paints. The images were just perfect for the Snowfall Collection.

The first tag is created using Snowfall Six with a tag topper of Snowfall Eight. I just loved the sweater texture of Snowfall Eight, and used it as the tag topper for all three tags. 

 The second tag uses Snowfall Five and a few of the Snowfall Elements cardstock dies.

My favorite of the three tags uses Snowfall Seven and features a couple of the Snowfall Elements cardstock dies. Each of the stamped images is popped up with an Action Wobble Spring. Each will move and shake as the tag moves. The ribbons are also just stapled on with the Tiny Attacher. This way the ribbon will not shift. A simple piece of twine or string could attach each of these to a package or present. 

Thanks for stopping by to see today's Christmas tag set. I cannot wait to see what you make with the Snowfall Collection.

Paper Girls Challenge #149: Masculine Birthday

Hello! Today's Paper Girls Challenge is all about Masculine Birthday cards and projects. Not surprising to many, making masculine cards is sometimes a challenge. Since I have two little girls, a TON of my paper and embellishments are pretty girly. For this challenge, I wanted to challenge myself by NOT using patterned paper, and instead use a few things that would imply masculinity, without be overtly obvious. My card today I think was a good mix of color and small details that create a pretty neat project.

I started with a simple kraft cardstock background and crackled, colored cardstock. I have had the Tim Holtz Soda Bottle Blueprint Rubber Stamp (got on clearance at Hobby Lobby) for about a year now, and this was the perfect time to start using it. I used a Memento Dew Drop in Nautical Blue for the ink, then colored the star with a silver colored pencil. The last few details were a Stampin Up stamp from a long time ago with some silver embossing powder, a few enamel shapes and a touch of Wink of Stella glitter pen in a few areas.

Items Used:
kraft cardstock (Neenah cardstock), blue cardstock (Tim Holtz Distress Core'dinations), Tim Holtz Soda Bottle Blueprint Rubber Stamp, Memento Dew Drop (Nautical Blue), Prismacolor colored pencil (Silver), Wink of Stella, enamel shapes Pin It

You Color My World (with Distress Inks & Lawn Fawn)

So... Paper Issues was having this fun little contest that asked for participants to create something based on this fun and summery mood board:

If you've read my blog recently, I just had purchased a handful of things from PI that all fit this fun and rainbowy theme and created a fun Shop Your Stash kit. I grabbed the fun Lawn Fawn stamp that I grabbed from the store, my fun Distress Minis and the Tim Holtz Lace Stencil that I bought locally.

I placed the stencil onto some white paper, then just mixed the various colors to create the fun rainbow effect. That with the lovely stamp sentiment... Just love!

Update!! My card was on the Paper Issues Blog today!! EEK! Pin It
