The 25 Days of Christmas Tags 2019- Day 13

Hello All,
It's Day 13 of The 25 Days of Christmas Tags.  Thank you again to Tracey McNeely for putting this event together and to all the supporting sponsors and design teams.  For information on how you can participate click here.  The sponsor for today is CAS-ual Friday Stamps. 

For my day 13 tag, I was once again inspired by Carol.  A pretty little Christmas Tree stamped on a plain white background, one in red and one in green. You can find her tags here.

The supplies I used for my tag- Avery-Elle’s Stitched Rectangles, Stampin Up retired stamp set Evergreen, Stampin Up ink Handsome Hunter also retired, Color Box white pigment ink, and some white seam binding ribbon.   I stamped the tree, then used my pigment ink to stamp the Silent Night overlay, then I heat embossed it.  Quick, clean, simple, precious…works for me.  Well, mon amis that is it for tonight.   Thank you for stopping by and I hope you’ll visit again soon.

Ladies Night Out at The Crafty Scrapper

Hey you guys, so much has been going on with me, some sad but mostly good.  I'm getting back to my old self again and it really feels good.  I decided to visit my local craft store the Crafty Scrapper in Waxahachie, TX and I lucked up on Ladies Night Out.  I rarely do card classes or any other crafting class for that matter (a little too much togetherness for me sometimes).  But this night they were doing a cute little card using Tim Holtz's new "Crazy Cat" stamps.  The stamps are a take off of his Bird stamps.  We used water colored brush ink pens from Zig to color our images.  The pens are nice, they have some really cool features, that may be a step up from the regular water colored pen.  What is even nicer about ladies night out is: It was free to make the card,  they serve deserts and beverages, and we also got a 40 percent discount off of one item.  I definitely plan to attend another one.  Below, I am showing a picture of the card inspiration that Carolyn (the store owner) made and the second card is my take on the card.  The stamps if not already, will be in the store soon. She just returned from CHA and she didn't even want to see her bill, so you know she got the goods!!! You can also order from her on-line store.  Not only does she have a large selection of Tim Holtz but she also carries many other artists and manufactures such as Wendy Vecchi, Maya Road, Bo Bunny, Prima, Kaiser Craft, 7 Gypsies, Fab Scraps, Authentique, Petaloo, Bazzill, and a whole lot more.  She has everything in the store that will take you from inspiration to a completed project.  If you live in Texas or even if you are just visiting, the store is definitely worth the trip! The prices are reasonable, the staff is most accommodating, very friendly, knowledgeable, and all inspiring with their incredible talents.
