My first card reminds me of the cartoon and cartoon style I loved to watch as a kid. (Who am I kidding?? I still love to watch the oldie but goodie cartoons!) I started my card with a watercolor panel and stamped the fun, quirky frame from Season''s Greetings, and then the dog from the set. They were all colored with watercolors. I stamped again the banner with a sentiment from Season's Greetings and popped it up with dimensional adhesive.
I created a tag for my next project, and Moody Santa finally has his trusty companion, Rowdy Reindeer! This small set is perfect for a snarky Christmas card or tag, the sentiments are a hoot! I colored Moody Santa and Rowdy Reindeer, die cut them with the coordinating Moody Santa Die Cuts and Rowdy Reindeer Die Cuts, adhered them to a tag cut from Anytime Tags Die Set with Tribal Chic Paper and finished with a sentiment from Rowdy Reindeer. A fun Christmas tag!
My final project for this release is a gift card holder. Everyone in my family likes receiving gift cards, and I like giving them, in cute packaging, of course! I die cut a holder with the previously released Stitched Gift and Note Card Holder Die, added some patterned paper to the flap, and die cut the cute Noel Word Die out of white paper and woodgrain patterned paper for the antlers. I finished with a Nuvo Drop nose and some burlap string.
Here's a look at the new release products showcased in my projects today:

ReplyDeleteEeeeK! Karen, LOVE the tag & gift card holder. Oh my goodness, I too make and give a lot of gift cards (AND tags!) and these are way too cute! (I make over 50 gift cards for my Mom & my MIL for all of their gift giving and let me tell you, it is a challenge each year to come up with something new & different! Add to that my limited supplies like tag dies and dies for gift card holders. However, it has challenged me to be quite creative. LOL
