Today I'm sharing some new tags I recently added to my Etsy store. I just adore this Santa! It's one of my absolute favorites.

I created some sets of three different tags. 

I used up leftover holiday paper. I really tried to go through my supplies and see what I could come up with. Those little bits of paper are so perfect for these projects. 

I looking for some new Christmas/Holiday stamps. I love sentiments so that's what I''ll be searching for. If you get a chance go check out what else I have in my store. Thanks for taking time out of your day to stop by!

Baby Cards + 40% Off Coupon Code

I just found this draft post for some cards I created for a custom order. I had a few things going on and didn't realize I hadn't blogged about them. These were the final cards I made for that order. In all I made four of each: Sympathy, Wedding, Bridal Shower and Baby. For the Baby cards I made two neutral, one girl and one boy card. For the card above I hand cut the onsie. The patterned paper used is from Doodlebug Design.

I think this boy card turned out cute! I embossed the giraffe using white embossing powder. This paper is also from Doodlebug Design.

The stroller image above is from a stamp set by Karen Foster. The sentiment on the card above and below are from a Fiskars stamp set.

I used the Sizzix Framelits die for the die cut above. I've long since put all the supplies I used for these cards away and I don't remember what stamp set the sentiment below is from.

I did make a few extra baby cards and I added them to my Etsy store. If you're looking for cards I have quite a few listed. If you'd like to check them out here's the link to my store.

One Stamp, Three Cards

I took a technique card class last week and I really enjoyed it! I generally don't gravitate toward alot of new techniques when it comes to stamping. I know this sounds terrible, but I like the way I create my cards. I would prefer just to admire other cardmaker's work. I do emboss but it makes me uncomfortable. It doesn't always turn out how I would like it to. Taking this class took me out of my comfort zone just a little.

I used scraps from my stash for all three cards. What a fantastic way to recycle them. Of course if you could see my stash, I'd be here for years creating hundreds of cards!

For this card, I stamped the image on a piece of cardstock that had small squares. I don't have the name of the manufacturer for this paper. I used my new found love.....Inkssentials Enamel Accents from Ranger. I adore this stuff! I bought the two pack of black and white. It's so much more economical to use this rather than gemstones. Especially for mailing. I'll never quit using gems, but I like having the option of another product.

Secretly this one is my favorite, but I really like all of them. This technique was doubly hard for me because it was embossing and coloring! I'm not good at the coloring part which is why I never use markers. I was so apprehensive learning this one. Since Tim Holtz Distress Inks are used in combination with a waterbrush it was fun and easy. I'm not one to have alot of ink colors so creating this one at home was a bit of a stretch. I'm going to keep practicing with different stamps until I get better at it. For the flowers, I used Tim Holtz Trimmings and cut three of them apart. I inked them with Tim Holtz Distress Inks and add a Hero Arts Pearl Gemstone in the middle.

This one really has a piece of my heart, because I used black embossing powder. Black is one of my favorite colors and paired with this paper from Making Memories called Love Struck, it really stands out. I used black Fiskars Raindots around the bottom.

I'll be adding these cards to my Etsy shop in the next few days. If you're interested in them, check back to see when they're listed.
