Christmas Count Down Week 5 - Merry Little Labels & Colorful Seasons

For this week's Count Down to Christmas I am featuring Colorful Seasons and Merry Little Labels stamp sets.  To create the background I used crumpled tissue paper to apply the Pool Party and Soft Sky ink to the Whisper White card stock. Then I stamped some of the Colorful Seasons snowflakes in Marina Mist. Makes me yearn for cooler weather, we have had a bit of heat wave here in North Texas, predicted to hit 90 on Sunday, 5 November. 

 

Card Measurements:

 Marina Mist Card Base 5 1/2 x 4 1/4

Whisper White Layer 4 1/4 x 3 3/4

Silver Foil Strips x 4 1/4 x 3/4

 

---

Tip:  I consider the Silver Foil paper a very precious consumable.  To conserve my stock of Silver Foil paper I only used strips of 4 1/4 x 3/4 to accent my focal point.  Saving paper for other projects.

DOStamper STARs Thursday Challenge #252 - Gift Card Holder

Hello and welcome to this week's DOStamper Stars Thursday "Color My World Challenge" #252 featuring Cajun Craze, Soft Sky and Peekaboo Peach colors.  These are great colors for a Fall card, but I decided to make a gift card holder since my son is having a birthday on Sunday.  He will be 15 and he love's gift cards.  This morning I found a quick gift card tutorial by Barb Mulikin that was perfect.  It is very easy to get together the hardest part was deciding on stamps to use.

Measurements:

Cajun Craze 4 1/4 x 10 3/4

Soft Sky 3 x 4 1/2 & 2 x 3

Peekaboo Peach 2 x3

 



---

Tip: I cut and scored card holder then I stamped front and top flap with Cajun Craze ink using the Timeless Textures stamp set.  For the sentiment I used my new favorite from the Holiday Catalog  Merry Little Labels.

Thanks for stopping by my blog, Tea and Stamps, today.  This was a quick and easy project that my son will enjoy opening Sunday for his 15th birthday, especially if there is a gaming gift card inside. 

Enjoy!!

Christmas Count Down Week 2 - Merry Little Labels, Hostess Love

This is my second Christmas Count Down post, today I am not sharing a card, but a hostess gift idea.  A quick and simple tag that will make that bottle of wine extra special.  I call it Hostess Love!!

 

Measurements:

Silver Foil Paper 3 x 10 and 3 x 3

Be Merry DSP 2 3/4 x 9 3/4

Garden Green 3 x3

TIP: There was not trick to putting this one together, so easy, I kept the colors simple.  It would work with any color combination.  I added some elegance with the Silver Foil paper (perfect for any holiday).   Merry Little Christmas and Merry Music DSP would really make this tag standout.  This tag is great for wine, cider, sparking juice, or what ever you like to bring to a holiday party.

Christmas Count Down - Labels to Love

Today, my Friday Christmas card features the  Be Merry DSP and Labels to Love stamps set. A simple card with a few bits from the Pretty Pines Thinlets.  The pines and sprigs were leftover form a card swap I made last October.  So happy I saved them!!   It continues to be miserably hot in North Texas, I can't wait for Autumn's cooler temps to arrive.   Praying for everyone in Puerto Rico and Mexico.  

Card Measurements:
Cherry Cobbler  Card Base 5 1/2 x 4 1/4

Garden Green Layer 5 3/8 4 1/8

Be Merry DSP Layer  5 1/4 x 4

Be Merry DSP Accent 1 1/4 x 4

Silver Foil Sheet 1 x 4

TIP:  I attached all the pine boughs and berry sprig to the Silver Foil Sheet with glue dots.  Once I had them arranged then I added the Labels to Love sentiment with Stampin Dimensionals.
