Membership Wednesday Tags ~ Unity October 2024 KOM Sweet Bliss of Christmas ~ Unity Stamp Co.

  Hello there crafty friend!

Today I'm sharing three pretty holiday tags featuring fantastic stamps from the October 2024 Kit of the Month called Sweet Bliss of Christmas. These were pretty quick to make and so much fun!

The tags are die cut from Kraft card stock from Papertrey Ink using dies from the Scalloped Tags die {looks like they are out of stock}. I also die cut slightly smaller tags from the Festive Christmas {paper pack}. The sweet deer is die cut from the papers. Love it! All of the edges are distressed with Vintage Photo Distress Ink.

I stamped the stockings using Black Amalgam ink from Gina K. Designs. I colored them up with my Copic markers and then fussy cut them leaving a white border around the images. I also distressed the edges with a bit of Vintage Photo Distress Ink.

Here's a quick list of the Copic markers I used:

Poinsettia: R20, R14, R27, Y15

Greenery: YG11, G24, G46

Tree: YG11, G24, G46, E55, E57

Star: Y15

Poinsettia Stocking: C00, C2, R20

Tree Stocking: C00, C2, R20, R14, R27

The sentiments are all heat embossed with my favorite combo. I prepped the Kraft card stock using the TE Anti-Static Powder Tool from Taylored Expressions. Stamped the sentiment using the Sugar Cube White Pigment ink from Taylored Expressions, and added Alabaster White Embossing powder from Brutus Monroe. I then melted the embossing powder using my Wagner Precision Heat Tool. I trimmed them all up and adhered the two with the stockings directly to the tag. The sentiment on the deer tag is popped up with foam tape. I just realized I completely forgot to add the ribbon and twine before taking photos... ooops! I'll likely add white ribbon and some festive red and white twine.

Here's a quick look at this month's Kit of the Month membership! So in love with this month's KOM!!

Well, that's it for me today! I hope you've been inspired to play with your membership stamps! 

Hope you have an ink-tastic day!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

See ya next time.

Inky Hugs,

Bunch of Tags ~ Holly Jolly Everything ~ Unity Stamp Co.

Hello there crafty friend! 

The awesome sale over at Unity Stamp Co. continues with another HUGE release for the Black Friday Sale! Lots and lots more amazing goodies available. Including a super cute gnome illustrated by Jeanie Hays called Holly Jolly Everything! Love Jeanie's gnomes!

I thought this cutie would make a cute CAS tag... whatcha think? I couldn't help but make a bunch of them. So fun to color up this gnome too. I die cut the stamped gnomes and sentiments using a die from the Make a Tag {die set}. I also die cut some Real Red card stock from Stampin' Up and I adhered those to the back of the tags.

 Here's a quick list of the Copic markers I used:

Skin: E000, E00, E11

Mustache / Beard: C00, C1, C3

Sweater: R20, R14, R46, B00, YG11, G24, G46, Y11, Y15

Lights: Y11, Y15, YG11, G24, B000, B00

Shoes: N1, N3, N5

Hat: R20, R14, R46, E21, E23, E25

Holly Jolly Banner: R20, R14

I punched a hole in the top of the tags but on the side a bit so I didn't punch a hole through the gnomes hat. I added some red grosgrain ribbon and tied it with some twine from my stash. These were really easy to make and didn't take too much time other than the coloring. I just need to find a 'to' and 'from' stamp for the back of the tags and I'll be all set.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

See ya next time.

Inky hugs,

Crystal

Christmas in July 2022 {BYSHC} Linky Party ~ Beary Christmas Tags ~ Not 2 Shabby

Hello there crafty friend!

I'm super excited to share my holiday projects for today... tags!! They turned out SO cute! I just fell in love with the sweet Beary Christmas stamp set from returning Sponsor Not 2 Shabby and couldn't wait to play with them as soon as they got to my house!! It was impossible to pick just one so I inked them all up. Aren't they just THE cutest!?!

 

These adorable bears and the coordinating dies are the Stamp and Die of the Month... a wonderful subscription available at Not 2 Shabby. You can sign up to receive the Stamp and Die of the month each month with an 18% discount or you can select to just buy the stamp and die of the month without signing up for that monthly subscription at the full retail price. I love that you get the option to just buy the combo!

Anywho, I paired them up with the darling Meowy Christmas paper pad from returning Sponsor Newton's Nook Designs. Having the papers picked out really helped when it came to coloring up these cuties! I stamped the four bears with Memento Tuxedo Black ink... this is my favorite ink when stamping with clear stamps because it cleans off nicely. I then die cut the four bears with the coordinating die. 

I also die cut the four tag bases from Stampers Select White card stock from Papertrey Ink with the Make A Tag {die set} from Sponsor Unity Stamp Co. I then die cut the smallest tags from the pattern paper. And then I got to coloring with my Copic markers:

Christmas Tree Bear:

Tree ~ YG11, YG23, R27, Y06, Y35, E21, E23, E25

Ear Muffs ~ C00, C2, R20, R14, R27

Bear ~ W00, W1, W3, W5

Chocolate Chip Ice Cream Bear:

Hat ~ C00, C2, R20, R27, YG11, YG23

Ice Cream ~ YG11, YG23, E21, E23, E25

Bear ~ W00, W1, W2, W4

Santa Bear:

Hat ~ C00, C2, C3, R20, R14, R27

Scarf ~ R20, R14, R27 

Bear ~ W00, W1, W3, W5

Gift Bear:

Gift ~ YG11, YG23, R27

Bear ~ W00, W2, W4

I adhered the tags together and used my Crop-a-dile to punch the hole in the tops. I used a white organdy ribbon that I tied with a candy cane twine. I also looped a skinny green ribbon through the hole so I can attach the tags to gifts. I popped up the bears on the tags with foam tape. And then to finish them all off I stamped the sentiment which also has coordinating dies... bonus! I adhered the sentiments to the tags with a combination of liquid glue and foam tape so that they will lay flat on the tag. I just love how these turned out! I hope to make a card or two with these cuties too... love them!
