2 Days left!!
Good Evening Everyone,
It is Tracey McNeely’s the 25 Days of Christmas Tags, day 23. I feel like I’m writing in a log like James Kirk
on STAR TREK…Captain’s Log Day….lol.
Wow! Y’all, either I was just so excited to participate, or this really
did go by fast?! I hope you all are
having as much fun with this as I am? I
am already gearing up for next year’s event (buying up some tags dies).
Today, the sponsor is Jillibean Soup. My tag was inspired by our hostess
Tracey. Click here and scroll down to the last tag.
Here are the supplies I used to make my tag: White cardstock, We R Memory Keepers- Tag Board
(Tuesday Morning find, TX USA $7.49), Tim Holtz Distress inks (Tumbled Glass,
Broken China, and Salty Ocean), Sizzix Framelits-Christmas Star (Katelyn Lizardi),
Hero Arts Poly Clear Holiday Messages and Frames, Versa Mark pad, white
embossing powder, white Tulle, silver eyelet, 3 silver jingle bells, and silver elastic
cord. Thanks for stopping by and I'll see you tomorrow!

Happy Holidays everyone,
Here is a Christmas card I
made using a technique called Stained Glass Stamping. You can find the video on Jennifer’s YouTube
channel here. Jen used some fall stamps
for her card. As you can see, you can
use any matching stamp and die set. The base of my card measures 5 5/8” x 4 ½” and made with 110# cardstock. I’m not sure what size Jennifer’s card ended
up being. I did not pre-measure my card
either, hence the crazy “5 5/8”. The
card front is ¼ inches smaller and popped
up for dimension using 2mm fun foam. The “Merry” is cut using the Hero Arts #DC170 “Merry”
stamp and die set. The greeting is from the same stamp and die set. The Christmas Bauble is cut using Spellbinder’s
Heirloom Ornaments 2011 set. The Image
within the bauble die cut is a Heartfelt Creations pre-cut stamp set #3417 “Poinsettia”. I embossed the image with gold embossing
powder on heat resistant acetate. The colour
behind the die cut and stamp is a piece of white card stock that I coloured
with distress inks. I used Tim Holtz’s
Festive Berries, Fired Brick, Candied Apple, and Aged Mahogany and then I heat
set the colours. The sentiment inside is
from one of my favorite stamp lines Quietfire Design, #5858 “Gentle Thoughts”. It looks difficult but really it was
easy. The only challenge I could see for
anyone is finding some heat resistant acetate locally. I actually got lucky and found some heat
resistant acetate in my stash, that I bought from Judkins at a stamp convention
in 2010!!! I almost forgot to mention
the matching envelope. I made the
envelope using my WRMK punch board, some Stampin’ UP! Cherry Cobbler card stock,
gold embossing powder and the pre-cut Heartfelt Creations stamp set noted
above. I removed the Versa-Mark from the
outline of the stamp, then stamped and embossed the inside image on the flap of
the envelope. Well folks that’s it for
today. I hope you’ll give it try.
Joyce
