I have a clean and simple card to share with you. The main image is called "A Chocolate Affair." I used the Spot & Dots and Honeycomb embossing folders. I added a red rhinestone for the cherry, stickes was applied to the sundae glass and I created a "junk" bow from scraps of ribbon I had collected.
Tuesday challenges I participated in: *Creative Card Crew - #52 AG, *TTCRD - AG.
Hello, hope you are enjoying this great Saturday. My DH and I tried to go hiking but, the ground here in Missouri is melting. So, there is mud everywhere. I have a gift tag to share with you today. I used the Cricut to cut out the ornament shape from dark blue cardstock. Next came the white snowflakes cut from the Festive Flurry Framelits. I used a Frosted Finishes embellishment for the center and added silver cording. This would be great embellishment for a gift or card.
Challenges I participated in: *Kraftyhands - AG (Sat), *Time 4 Scrap - #30 Blue, white & silver (Sat), *The Outlawz - AG (01/03).

This card has alot going on but it didn't take long to create. I first stamped the winter scene on the light gold paper. I used colored pencils on the trees, water and sky. Next, I added fake snow on the trees and landscape. The last touch I used clear glittle stickers for the trees and sky. Cut the large tree from the Cricut machine. Added snow and blue stickers. I hope the photos shows all the layers and shine.

Here is a cute Poinsettia gift tag. This idea was taken from the "flower" cards, where you lift the flowers to expose the message. This is just a smaller one turned into a gift card. The poinsettia and leaves are from a punch with a brad for the centers. What do you think?
Saturday challenges: *Kraftyhands - Anything goes, *Pumkin Spice - Anything holiday.
How about a little Copic inspiration today? Today's card was created with a free digital stamp image. This took me less than one hour to colored. I have a photo of the colors I used below. I defind this card as CAS. Not sure if you noticed in the main photo, look closely, the tiny rhinestones used as flowers. In the comment section, let me know what you think about digital stamps?

The message on this gift tag says, "I hope your Christmas is S'more' than you dream it to be". The background of this tag was stamped with candy bars, stars & marshmallows in dark brown ink. I used a white gel pin on the marshmallows for added contrast. The main image was colored with Copic markers. The finishing touches included stickles & ribbon. Leave a comment about why you like s'mores?

I think gift tags are tiny works of art. This tag was created using punches and the Cricut machine. The punches were used for the star, circle and scallop circle. The Cricut machine cut out the tag shape and tree. The tag was stamped with a swirl stamp and then embossed with gold embossing powder. The finishing touches include a felt snowfake, a pearl, stickles and ribbon.

I have another great gift tag idea to share with you today. This tag was created with SU Pine & Poinsettias stamp set, dies, pattern paper and markers. This tag could also be used for fall/winter Birthday gift tag. Another way to use tags is to mount the tag to the front of a A2 card.

As you know, it's always hectic making so many Christmas cards. So here's another easy Christmas tag. I love the Ric Rac holding the two mittens together. One mitten has the "To" and the other one has the "From." Now get out your dies or circut and get busy making a few gift tags.
