Twas the Night Before Christmas

I made this Christmas card using the following supplies from The Rubber Buggy on-line store:  Tattered Lace-Shaped Shutter Card dies set with 50 dies, Poppy Stamp-Merry Christmas Banner, Heartfelt Creations-Gift Wrapped Present Stamp Set, and the gorgeous Graphic 45 - Twas the Night Before Christmas Long Winter Nap and Graphic 45 - Christmas Carol #1 - Good Cheers.

I have some instructions on my previous blogs on how I used the Tattered Lace-Shaped Shutter Card die set for my cards and there are some of these instructions of the back of the packet.  

  

Wouldn't this new released Poppy Stamp Merry Christmas banner  die be gorgeous on a lot of projects and Christmas cards.  I used the wonder Bazzill cardstock Peppermint for the red and gold metallic card stock for the banner.

I used the Ranger Ice Stickles - Diamond on the white parts of Santa's suite to give it glitter and dimension and Ranger Ice Stickles - Christmas Red on the berries and ornaments as well as the stockings (photo above)

These wonderful supplies were purchased at The Rubber Buggy on-line store.  Now it is your turn to try these products out from The Rubber Buggy and see what you create!

Easter Tags in a Card

I am Nancy and it is time for the exciting March Blog Hop. You should be coming to my blog from Bonnie.   Wasn't her card just beautiful.  

 

Really Reasonable Ribbon has a selection of gorgeous ribbon in March's Ribbon Club. 

 I made this pocket card to fit four book markers that will be given to each of my grand children in this family.   I had a lot of fun thinking about what papers and ribbons for each of my tags since there re one boy and three girls in this family. 

The gorgeous ribbon for the bow is the 5/8" Diamond Satin Apple Green with a 8mm ribbon slider buckle.  I made this bow with the Zutter Bow-It-All bow maker and able to slide the ribbon in the middle of the bow before tying the ribbon in back of the bow while still in the bow maker.   I attached the bow to the card using the 3/8" Scor-Tape from Really Reasonable Ribbon.   
 

The gorgeous flowers are the Wild Orchid Craft flowers from Really Reasonable Ribbon. 

 

 

The tags were made with Graphic 45 Botanical Tea Collection paper and a Stampin Up tag punch.  Each tag has the same poem "Foot Prints in the Sand" on the back.  The front of the tag has the Heart Felt Creations Cross and Lily die with the Cheery Lynn Designs Polynesian Sails Oval Doily.  These ribbons were attached to the tag with a pearl brad: 

 

3/8"  Select Swiss Dots Grosgrain Bright Green

3/8" Roses with Scalloped Edge Grosgrain Pearl Pink -

 

5/8" Pearl Pink Double-faced Satin Ribbon

5/8" Diamond Satin Apple Green

Above is the pocket card without the tags
and below is the back of the card.

I folded white cardstock paper and cut out the Heart Felt Creation Decorative Bloom Corner die and glued it to the back of the pocket card so that this card will stand upward.  My daughter is able to display this card on her fireplace mantle or the bookshelf during Easter time with this stand attached to the back of the card.
