Christmas tags

I bought a box of manilla tags last year as they make great gift tags. These were so easy to make...applied distress ink to the edges of the tag...sprayed with cosmic shimmer mist and allowed to dry overnight....stamped with a snowflake stamp. I made these with rich gold shimmer mist and then stamped the snowflakes in brown ink.....they also look good if you spray with silver shimmer mist and stamp the snowflakes in black.



Ingredients used:
Manilla tags.
Cosmic shimmer mist - rich gold.
Tim Holtz distress ink - vintage photo.
Papermania stamp duos - snowfall & snowflake decorations (I think these have both been retired).

Mini Christmas

I made a few more Christmas cards recently....decided that mini was the way to go. I have used 3x3 and 4x4 cards.

Meow!

I love cats! I miss having a cat! This is the first time since I was 5 that I have had not had a cat...even when I lived in Spain we had all the abandoned kitties to look after. If I don't have a cat the next best thing I could think of was to raise money for my local cats protection...so the other week I started making cards for them to sell.
I love this Mo Manning digital stamp and thought it would make some love charity cards....I'm also going to enter these cards in the Mo's challenge blog


Ingredients used:
Spellbinder nestabilities small and large squares.
Mo Manning digital stamp - Cat Love.
Elzybells stamp - Kitty Queen.
Personal Impressions stamp - Everyday words.
Personal Impressions stamp - Cat purrfect.
