Christmas Tags

I am posting on the Art Impressions blog today!

Well, it's present wrapping time in the Day household... so I've been making Christmas tags!  I based my designs on an idea I saw on Pinterest, where the designer had stamped her images half off of the tag, and I really like the look.  So I've used three of my favourite Art Impressions Christmas stamps, and this is what I came up with:

I started by cutting out white cardstock tag shapes with my Cricut (they're about 4 1/2").  Then I stamped about 3/4 of each image onto the tag, slightly off center, leaving enough room at the top to write my "To" and "From".

Here is the Lighted Snowman Set (Sku#4349):

And my Christmas Santa (Sku#T4171):

 

And finally, Santa's Helper - Eunice (Sku#P1790)

I added some chevron ribbon, and tied them up with some twine and jingle bells.  You can stamp a bunch of these in just a few minutes, and then do some colouring in front of the tv - you'll have a pile of tags in no time :o)

Happy stamping everyone!

 



Christmas Santa

It's my day posting on the Art Impressions Blog!

I have a square card to share with you today, using a wonderful holiday stamp: Christmas Santa (Sku#T4171).   My card is 5 1/2" square: 

 

Here's a closeup of Santa:

To make my little poinsettia, I cut out two sizes of red snowflake images with my Cricut, and punched some gold cardstock with my 1/8" hole punch:

I bent each of the five points over a stylus to give them a little dimension, then stacked them together and added the yellow centers:

 

Happy stamping everyone!
