Blue Christmas Tags

Hey all! It’s Judy here with my latest project created for Clear Scraps.

I am using 4 of the #10 tags. 

Chipboard Rounded #10 Tags, Chipboard Pentagon #10 Tags, Acrylic Scallop #10 Tags, Acrylic Angle #10 Tags

I used the 6” Quarterfoil Stencil on 1 of the tags

My last project shared here on the blog was a Blue Christmas Tag Box and I wanted to create coordinating tags. And I wanted to make them with Prima Dolls, which I stamped and paper pieced.

The Chipboard Tags were traced onto the backside of patterned papers, cut and adhered. I did cover both sides.

I then added some fussy cut pieces from the patterned papers and die cuts. The Prima Dolls were added along with die cut sentiments. I added sequins to one of the tags and some gems to the other. Ribbons were added.

For the Acrylic Tags, I removed the protective film and added acrylic paint to the backside. 

The 1st tag has some stenciling and I added a patterned paper strip and fussy cut flowers.
The sentiment was fussy cut. I added ribbons.

The frontside of the 2nd tag has a layered die cut oval, fussy cut flowers and a die cut sentiment. Ribbons were added.

Thanks for taking a look at my project.

Vibrant Birthday Card

 Looking to brighten someone’s special day? This vibrant birthday card is bursting with bold colors and cheerful layers—perfect for bringing a smile! Hey there! I'm here today with my latest project. Follow along as I walk you through the steps to create this sunny, die-cut design using cardstock from CutCardStock.

Supplies

• Assorted cardstock from CutCardStock (sunset hues, blues, greens, and white)
• Circle, cloud, hill, and sentiment dies
• Die-cutting machine
• Paper Trimmer
• Adhesive
• Clear embellishments/sequins

---

Create Sun Ray

Choose a mix of warm and cool cardstock shades and cut sunburst rays using your die or trimmer. I am using

Lessebo Sunflower Yellow

Pop Tone Orange Fizz

DCS Flame Tree Orange

Lessebo Bubble Gum Pink

DCS Amaranth Pink

Lessebo Dawn Maroon

DCS Hydrangea Purple

Pop Tone Grape Jelly

Lessebo Aubergine

I cut each ray with a paper trimmer. To start cut each piece 7/8″ wide & 3″ long. Mark the bottom of each piece at the center. Trim diagonally from the top to the center mark on each side.

Adhere the rays to a Cougar White Smooth 4″ x 5 1/4″ background panel in a fanned-out pattern to mimic the rising sun. I mark the center of the background panel to help align the rays as the photos show.

Trim the rays with the edges of the background panel.

Die cut pieces for the sun, clouds and hills using

Lessebo Sunset Orange

DCS Indigo Blue

DCS Blue Calico

Lessebo Salt Water

DCS Mantis Green

Pop Tone Gum Drop Green

BUILD SUN CLOUD AND HILL LAYERS

Center the circle die cut.

Add blue cloud dies starting with the darker color up top, then medium blue and light blue.

The green hill die cuts go on next.

Adhere the die cut sentiment cut from Cougar White Smooth to the bottom. 

I cut a piece of Cougar White Smooth to 4 1/4″ x 11″. Score at 5 1/2″ along the 11″ side and fold to create a top folding A2 card base. 

Adhere the background panel to the card base.

EMBELLISH WITH SPARKLE

Add a few clear sequins or gems across the card front to give it a touch of sparkle and a polished finish.

Final Thoughts

This card is a celebration in itself—colorful, happy, and full of texture. It’s perfect for birthdays, encouragement, or any occasion that needs a little extra sunshine.

To the Ocean I Go

 Hi crafty friends! Today I'm sharing an ocean-inspired mixed media card created for Pajama Crafter Stamps. I combined stenciling, bold sentiments, stamped images and fun die-cut embellishments to bring this underwater scene to life!

The background features the Casted Net Stencil, softly ink-blended to mimic the gentle flow of ocean currents. The sentiment background is one of the flashcards from  Beach Retreat Flash Cards. I added color to some of the words with a blue marker and outlined some of the words with a blue glitter gel pen. 

I die cut and matted the focal flashcard. Driftwood and sea shell elements from Beach Hut Stamps were stamped, colored with pencils and fussy cut. They are combined with die cut seaweed and a ship's wheel, with dies from my stash, to building a mini ocean floor. A touch of sparkle on the blue border and Opalescence Confetti Embellishments add just the right amount of shimmer!

I hope this card inspires you to dive into your stash and create something seaside-sweet!

Happy crafting!

Christmas Leilani

Hello there!

We're nearing the end of July so,

I wanted to share a Christmas in July project.

This one is a card created for 

Conie Fong Art & Design.

Using Christmas Leilani 

I love Conie Fong digis and this one is a favorite!

She is colored with Prismacolor Pencils, no surprise there.

My card background is from a folded paper pad from Crafter's Companion.

It was white, but I inked over it with a combo of red and dark orange ink.

I wanted to bring out the colors I used for the poinsettias.

The top of the card is a border die cut.

The sentiment was die cut.

I fussy cut Leilani and popped her onto layered and die cut circles.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great week!

Blue Christmas Tag Box

Hi there! It’s Judy here with my latest inspiration project created for Clear Scraps.

Clear Scraps came out with some fabulous new products last month and I’m using 3 of them for this Blue Christmas Tag Box.

The new products I’m using are the DIY Wood Rounded Tag Box, Pine Trees Embellishments and Vintage Frames Chipboard Embellishments.

I decided to paint my box with a blue metallic acrylic paint. So, I did this to all the individual pieces.

Use wood glue to construct the box.

Some patterned papers were pulled out to add. I started by applying one of the papers to the front and sides of the box.

Other elements were pulled from my stash to add, wash tape and beaded garland.

I adhered the washi tape to the top edge of the patterned paper on the front and sides.

Patterned papers were picked out for both sides of the back of the box and trace.

Cut and adhere the traced papers to back of box.

With the box being decorated with paint and patterned papers, it’s time to add some embellishments. I add color to the chipboard trees with a green sparkle pen. Silver gilding wax is applied to the frame chipboard piece.

Adhere beading to the top edge of the front and side of the box.

I stamped and heat embossed “Merry Christmas” and glued behind the Chipboard frame. Adhere to the front. I also added some flowers fussy cut from patterned paper.

I added the chipboard trees to the back along with some fussy cut pieces and snowflake gems.

 

Thanks so much for stopping by. I hope I’ve provided some inspiration for your crafting.
