Celebrate

I used a 'retro' Dymo Label Maker for the CELEBRATE word strip...I'm going to have to see if I can find some black tape, I love the raised embossing. I also used the tiny Thinlits stencil dies from Tim Holtz Gift Card Bag for the hashtag and stars, and the Mini Blueprints, and Things clear stamps.

 

This CELEBRATE card will come with a VISA Gift Card for a 15 year old boy...I'm sure a 15 year old will love to celebrate with a credit card!

The 'CELEBRATE' theme is for the challenge at TFJB The Funkie Junkie Boutique Challenge Blog

 Thanks for looking!

Home for the Holidays

 Well, I was going to post this to the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge

The challenge was 25 Days of Christmas Tags, but alas, the link closed early!

I am also posting this to the fun blog TFJB Challenge Blog.

The Funkie Junkie Boutique Challenge for this period is Home is Where the Heart is.

When I decided to make a tag instead of a card, the image from this stamp from Stampendous was too large, so I cut an oval with my die cutting machine for a template and then stamped inside the oval. I then used some gesso to make the first sentiment pop. I like the way the 'holidays' stamp shows up with embossing powder. I then die cut some greenery and pinecones from Tim Holtz Festive Greens, and added a sweet metal snowflake (from Funkie Junkie Boutique) and a little silver jingle bell and some ribbon dyed with Tim Holtz Rusty Hinge Distress Ink.

Thanks for looking!
