Tag (You're It!) Tuesday: Non-traditional Christmas Colors

Happy Christmas Eve!!!  I am getting all geared up for tomorrow, how about you?  :)

Here is the last tag I have to show you this year, sniff!  I used some rather non-traditional Christmas colors to make it, and I really like it!

I adore this tag shape from Artiste!  I had some left over from a cut-a-thon, so decided to use some up!  :)  I used Crystal Blue CS and Pear Ink from Close to My Heart and just a splash of shine and sparkle to pull this tag all together. 

I could not believe I never thought to nest this snowflake punch inside the flower before!  It fit perfectly!  The combination went all too well with an ivy leaf.  Great color combo, too.

This My Acrylix set from Close to My Heart has quickly become a seasonal favorite of mine this year. 

A Holiday

 Here are the rest of the supplies I used...super fast and sweet!   Creative Memories Snowflake Punch, Marvy flower punch, Silver Washi from the Sparkle and Shine Washi 3-pack, Silver Glitter Paper, and MCT tag die set.

Now, go relax before the mad dash to Christmas morning!!!  :)

Sparkle and Shine with Heart 2 Heart Challenges

Hi everyone!  It is a bittersweet post today as I share my final creation with you for Heart 2 Heart Challenges.  I am taking some time off from DT duties in order to devote some time to other things.  It was a really hard decision to make, but I know it is the right one for me right now.  I will be popping in often to check on all your amazing creations, and maybe even get to play along, though!

This week, we want you to get creative with the colors from the new Close to My Heart Sparkle and Shine Papers.  Also, as an added "challenge" show us your SPARKLE!

I decided to decorate a My Creations Clear Pillow Box with my Sparkle and Shine Paper Packet, Sparkle and Shine Complements, and my trusty Silver Shimmer Trim!  :)

I am completely in love with how easily this came together!  I stamped the ivy leaves in Juniper Ink using the large leaf in the Close to My Heart A Holiday My Acrylix Stamp Set.  The fabulous glittery red button I added is found in the Mini-Medley Accents Ruby Collection.  I tied it on with the Grey Baker's Twine that is currently in the Retiring Section of my website, so won't be available much longer.

I just LOVE the complements that coordinate with these papers!  There are even actual gift tags included for some super-easy embellishing.  :)

I thank you all for the lovely comments you leave (really, I adore hearing from you guys) and for always popping in to see what I have to share with you on my blog.  Join us over at Heart 2 Heart for this one last challenge of the year, and remember to never, ever let anyone dull your sparkle!  :)

See you soon!

12 Days of Christmas Sale Day 3 and Tag (You're It!) Tuesday!

Welcome back for Day 3 of my sale!  I hope you are having a wonderful time watching for the perfect deal for YOU!  Are you ready?  Here we go...

Who wants a free acrylic block?  You can choose either a 1" x 3.5" or 2" x 2" block for today's sale when you order $35 of product on my website!  Just let me know after you place your order which one you would like, and I will send it to you separate from your order.  Just a little thank you for your business!  HERE is the link to my website.  :)

NOW, I have a few cute tags to show you today!  I used the Close to My Heart A Holiday My Acrylix along with the coordinating holly cuts from my Cricut Art Philosophy Collection on each tag.  I also used a couple of metal dies in my collection from My Creative Time.  I am linking these up with the My Creative Time Designer's Challenge to make Christmas gift tags!

This is my favorite of the three!  The actual tags shapes are found on the Artiste Cricut Cartridge from Close to My Heart.   I had to use this little jingle bell die the second it came in the mail.  It is found in the Warm Holiday Fun set from MCT, along with the stocking stamp.

I used the peppermint striped pattern from Sparkle and Shine to paper piece the parts of the stocking.  Tiny little Bitty Sparkles colored red with a Sharpie really add to the ivy trim at the bottom.

This one uses the Scallop and Stitched Circle Dies from MCT and White Daisy Pigment Ink, along with the Close to My Heart Perfect Fit Holidays set--one of my faves for Christmas this year!  The sentiment at the bottom is such a beautiful font and again from the A Holiday set.

 

I cannot say enough about this adorable new die set from MCT that I used for this tiny Santa hat!  It is called Classy Girl Accessories, and again, I HAD to run it through my Big Shot immediately using my Ruby CS!  ;)

The Secret Santa Stamp is from one of the All Around sets at MCT too.   I stamped it in a matching CTMH Ruby Ink.

 Another Tan Glitter Paper bell!  :)

Did you notice how SUPER-EASY these tags are to make?!  They took almost no time to gather the parts and assemble.  I am really enjoying using Kraft paper to make the colors pop this year!  

Thanks for stopping in, and don't forget to shop my 12 Days of Christmas Sale!  :)
