Happy Holly Days

Happy Wednesday!

This week the Joy's Life Design Team has been showing you ways to create some tags using those awesome Joy's Life Stamps.

I have been trying to get a jump start on my Christmas tags for gifts so I was so happy to hear we were going to be doing this project.

Here are the tags that I made:

I cut my "tags"out of the Elegant Edges cricut cartridge at 3".

The holly was cut from the Winter Woodland cricut cartridge at 1.5".

I punched a hole at the top and threaded some twine through and then secured that with some more twine and a button.

Look at this cute sentiment from the Wintery Puns stamp set:

Snowflake Christmas

Hi everyone!

Happy Thursday!

I have been trying to get a head start on some Christmas cards.

When I saw this sketch from Freshly Made Sketches (FMS59)

I jumped on the opportunity to make a couple.

Here is the sketch:

and here is my interpretation:

I love red, kraft and white together! It is one of my all time favorite color combos. 

For my snowflakes, I used my Accent Essentials Cricut Cartridge and cut each snowflake out at 1.5".

For my kraft layer, I ran it through my cuttlebug using my polka dot embossing folder.

Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by my blog today and taking a look at my latest creation.

I really appreciate it!

Have a great crafty day :)
