I'm waiting for the trick-or-treaters to start heading over, so I thought I'd jump ahead in the season a little and share a couple cute Christmas projects I put together. It's been Christmas in the stores since about August, so I guess it's okay if I start early too! :)
First, I put together a cute little gift tag using one of the newest MFT Who's That Girl releases, Santa Baby. Isn't this image totally adorable (and a little naughty)???
I just love that sentiment! :)
To make the tag, I altered a wooden tag I had lying around. I painted the sides with acrylic paint and covered the whole thing with fun Christmas-themed paper. Then I paper-pieced and colored my image, and added Glossy Accents and Puffy Paint to a few parts to make them "pop," before adhering it to my tag. I stamped out my sentiment and cut it to look like a banner and popped it on top of my image. Finally, I added some super festive Christmasy ribbon.
Supplies:
Stamps: Santa Baby (by MFT)
Papers: DP by My Mind's Eye, Scraps for Paper Piecing, Georgia Pacific White
Inks: Memento Black, Versamagic Magenta
Accessories: Green Ribbon, Wooden Tag, Pop Dots, Glossy Accents, Puffy Paint, White Gel Pen
Next up is a fun Christmas card that came together really quickly, thanks to a punch and the new MFT background stamp!
To make this card, I inked up my background stamp with light green ink and then just "kissed" the edges of the stamp with a darker green ink. I stamped it out and matted it on colored cardstock. Then I just re-stamped the background image in red and green and used a star punch to punch out some shapes. I added cute buttons to each star and popped them up on dimensionals on top of the stamped background. Then I just stamped and cut out my sentiment and added another button accent. A totally fun and quick card!
Supplies:
Stamps: In the Background (by MFT)
Papers: Georgia Pacific White, Red Cardstock, Green Carstock
Inks: Colorbox's Lime and Green and Red
Accessories: Buttons by Oriental Trading Co., Embroidery Floss, Corner Punch, Star Punch
That's it for today! I think I'm going to take tomorrow off, but be sure to stop by Monday. I have a teaser for a super duper new MFT set that I'll be by to share!
Enjoy your evening!
