My friend, Denise, lives down under and I thought it would be fun to send her an Aussie-inspired card for the holidays.
I'm adding this to the Lawn Fawnatics "happy holiday critters" challenge.
Cheers!
As soon as I saw these little deer dies from MFT Stamps I KNEW I had to have them. I think they are 2 or 3 years old and I only bring them out around this time of year (why is that? I need to fix that.). I thought they'd be perfect for a holiday postcard that I needed to make for a SwapBot swap.
I cut the deer out of some felt that I almost threw away the other day; it was cushioning some dishes that I transported several years ago from my mom's house. I wonder what project she used this felt for? Anyhoo...it's the perfect color for these little guys! I love the texture it gives them, too.
Happy Holidays, y'all!
I like to have a stash of thank you cards ready to go. Earlier today I spotted a pack of Christmas-y looking card blanks I picked up at the store a few weeks ago. Then I spotted the MFT blog post about the current sketch challenge. The crafty gods are sending me a sign...let's get busy making some holiday thank you cards!
Check out the challenge HERE.
This tag is super simple - black ink and gold embossing. I was inspired by Lindsey's tag.
Several of the tag-makers on this day used critters on their tags. Immediately I thought of a stamp set from MFT Stamps that I love for this time of year, Ready, Set, Snow!. (I think I love it because two of my kiddos love to snowboard.) Here's my tag...
I think my daughter would kill me if I called her a snow bunny - LOL...
The simplicity of Lindsey's black and white tag inspired me to create this one for Day 15.
Play along with Tracey's 25 Tags of Christmas HERE.
The tag I made for Day 3 is inspired by Norine's tag; I loved the intricate dies she used and the soft colors.
Woo hoo! I think I might actually get some cards sent out this year. Made a few of these...
I needed something handmade and Christmas-y for a swap so I decided to go with a gift tag. Inspired by Karin, I made these little snowflake tags.
Starting to feel festive? I am!
It's time for the annual "25 Tags of Christmas" makes with Tracey McNeely over at In My Creative Opinion. I thought I was just going to be a silent viewer this year...I don't really use 25 tags every year...but I saw some pretty cute tags and was feeling inspired. Hmmm...maybe I'll switch it up and make some birthday ones in place of Christmas!
Anyhoo...my tags are going to be a wee bit out of order and since this is 2020 with all of its weirdness I've decided that it's okay to do it that way. Ha ha!
This tag, for Day 1, was inspired by Vanessa. I liked how she had the free swinging smaller tag on top of her base tag. She used some cute penguins on hers, too.
Two tags down, 23 to go!
One of my coworkers is having a birthday next week. I thought it would be fun to make her a pop-up card ('cuz pop-up cards are just fun!)...
I hope it makes her grin.
I'm adding this to the MFT Stamps Birthday Challenge: Balloons.
