Today’s first featured stamp set is this gorgeous Elegant Florals by Theresa Momber:
I couldn’t help but try and make another holiday tag for my Advent calendar out of this set –- I made it a personal challenge, LOL! (But I can’t wait to color the beautiful Bird of Paradise SOON!). Here it is:
13-Thinking of you and smiling -- (the Advent activity of the day listed on the back of the tag): Call or visit a friend or loved one that you haven’t seen or spoken to in some time.
I used Theresa’s Elegant Florals Silhouette cut file and then stamped the floral (olive branch?) with Memento Bamboo Leaves onto Gina’s Ivory Layering Weight Cardstock. Red gemstone accents for “berries”. The sentiment was stamped with Memento Rhubarb Stalk onto Gina’s Sandy Beach Heavy Weight cardstock (I love the warm cream color!). The red tag/mat was cut with my Silhouette out of Gina's Red Hot cardstock and the scalloped circle is a punch.
Our second featured stamp set today, Sentimental Holidays by Beth Silaika, has TONS of fabulous sentiments and images for your holiday cards!
Or for more Advent calendar (or gift) tags!
7-All is calm, all is bright: Stay in for the evening and enjoy the lighted decorated house and bake cookies! I stamped the sweet tree, hand trimmed it and then accented it with red gemstones. The fabulous plaid is from Tami Mayberry’s Perfect Plaids set we’ll be featuring tomorrow (love it!), stamped in Memento Rhubarb Stalk ink. Fresh Asparagus cardstock tag.
14-Happy Holidays: Have a holiday party! The holly is accented with red gemstones and red twine was hand stitched under the pretty “Happy Holidays”.
9-Near & Far, Follow His Star: Go to the church holiday play/program. The large star is stamped in silver pigment ink and the small stars in Dazzle Frost Versamark. A silver gemstone accents the large star. Ocean Mist cardstock tag.
11-The dove’s branch was stamped first with Bamboo Leaves, then the dove was stamped with Versamark ink and heat embossed with white embossing powder. Red gemstones accent the olive branch.
Whew, I just have a few more tags left to finish my Advent calendar (yay)!
