Saved scraps

This is another saved and scavenged from my mixed bins card, using the Regal Rose and Sage Shadow card with the stamped holiday sentiment. I found a snowman from Jolliest Christmas, colored him to match and added some Tim Holtz tinsel to frame it out. Very sparkly in real life!

Scraps Tag

 I have boxes and boxes (and boxes) of bits of this and that, all waiting to be made into something. Stacks of stamped images, half completed cards, scraps of pretty paper, embellishments, the list goes on and on. It was jaw dropping to realize just how much I've managed to accumulate since I started stamping, I am still trying to organize it all from our big move in August. I'm sure I'm not alone in this out of control collecting, they keep coming out with new stuff and I just can't stop.
 To feel better about it all I decided to try and complete some projects before my next major purchase. This tag with the Christmas tree was an ATC from a swap from many years ago. I don't know who made it, aside from "Denise", written on the back, or why I continue to save atc's. The craft color tag base is from a Tim Holtz insert card that held some kind of embellishments, too pretty to toss. I inked the edges with Tea Dye ink, added some Stampin' Up! sentiments and Sahara Sand lace ribbon.

Vintage Christmas

All supplies are Stampin' Up! except where noted. I really love this vintage Santa and girl image by Inkadinkado that I stamped in Brown Sugar ink on Crumb Cake cardstock, then inked the edges with Tim Holtz distress inks of Tea Dye and Old Paper. Highlighted a few parts of the image with Prismacolor pencils. Background is Christmas Collage on Naturals Ivory, Champagne glimmer paper and last year's snowflake brads with some retired ivory ribbon to embellish.

Dasher

Today's tags use the single Stampin' Up! Dasher stamp (retired) with various card stocks, ribbon, twine, and embellishments. I found an old Fossil watch box that is the perfect size to add the tags for gift giving. (Pictured below).

The following is an embroidery project of mine that I wanted to share, I love the vintage holiday toys! 

More projects

I have had this snowman paper for years and it was in my donate pile, I changed my mind and retrieved it to make these envelopes.

The tags were today's design with a holiday stamp from Joann's.

Peaceful Pines

New Stampin' Up! holiday mini catalog supplies used were Peaceful Pines stamp set with coordinating dies. Soft Sky and Whisper White card stocks, white embossed snowflakes are from an older retired set (Trees Three) that seems too timeless to get rid of, I love the snowflakes and the sentiments on this one.

Never enough tags

I love giving tags to friends and family for the holiday season, it seems you can never have enough of these and they are so much fun to make. I try to do about about 8 a day, various designs. This cute gingerbread set is from Inkadinkado. Added lots of glitter and used a few different punches for edges. I hope you stop back, I'll be using some new Stampin' Up! holiday mini items that have been begging to be used.
