The 12 Tags of Christmas Project + Tag #1

How about we start December with a project?
It's the "12 Tags of Christmas" Project!

I'll be posting one tag a day (starting today through Dec 14th...with a tiny break on Dec 8th) and you can join in the fun, too!
On Dec 16th, I'll randomly choose 3 tags and give away a mini stamp to each player! You even get to choose the mini stamp you want!!! =)
Click on "The 12 Tags of Christmas" Project tab located below my blog name (or click HERE) and link your tags!
You don't have to create 12 to play...but feel free to link as many as you want!

I'll start with an easy tag! Here's my Tag #1:

Tag shape was cut using the Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge (CTMH) - page 31- and Colonial White cardstock.
I backed the tree shape with green patterned paper and added some tiny gemstones (Studio G).
Then I stamped the border and the sentiment with green and red inks (stamp set is from the WOTG Frosted Cardmaking Kit). And finished it off with ribbon.

Hope you feel inspired to create some tags this month!
Thanks for stopping by!

Damask Divas Blog Hop: Frosted Ornaments

Hello,
Welcome to the Damask Divas Blog Hop!

If you came from Cydney's Blog, you are in the right place.

If you have jumped here and just discovered our Blog Hop, feel free to check the list at the Damask Divas Blog to find the complete list of Blog Hop participants. 

This month we're featuring the Frosted Paper Collection.

I had these metal bookplates and decided to create ornaments for my in-laws.
All I had to do was to cut the papers and embellishments to size and adhere them with Liquid Glass.
Good thing they're double-sided, so you can see both patterns! Plus, I'll be adding a photo on the back...

Without much ado, here's the first one:

And the second one:

Supplies used:
Flakey Friends (C1506)
Christmas Village (D1554)
Artbooking Cricut Cartridge
Liquid Glass
3-D Foam Tape
Gemstones
Sequins
Thread
Copic Markers

Seeing Double Card

This simple one layer card combines two challenges at H2H Challenge Blog: Seeing Double and Technique Time (Sponging).

I used the Card Chatter-Focus on a Friend stamp set (it will be retired soon, so grab it while you can!).

The other technique involved is heat emboss resist:

I stamped the big image in dark blue first, and the rest of the sentiment in Cotton Candy. Then, I stamped the big image two times (with VersaMark) and heat embossed in clear.

Now, here's the sponging part! I used a sponge dauber to sponge the turquoise pigment ink on the two embossed images. Don't know if you can see it, but I tried to do a ombre effect (darker on top and lighter at the bottom). And don't forget to wipe off the excess ink from the embossed images.

To finish it off, I added some baker's twine.

Update (12/03/13): I'm also entering this card at Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Anything Goes.

Thank you for stopping by!
