Christmas Tag




Welcome to Day 7 of the Your Next Stamp 14 Days of Holiday Fun!!

I am SO excited to show you the new YNS Holiday Die and Stamp Set.  These adorable stamps and coordinating die's are PERFECT for creating Christmas cards and tags.  Now...if you've followed my blog for very long then you know that I'm really not a stamper.  Yes, yes...I do stamp, but those stamps are so I can color, non coloring type stamped images scare me...I never know what to do with them.  But lucky for me inspiration struck while standing at the mailbox ripping my DT package open!!  LOL  

You are now looking at the Ramlakhan Family's 2011 Christmas gift tags!!  This was so easy and fun to put together.  I stamped the text greeting image multiple times on a kraft cardstock tag with Fired Brick Distressing ink and stamped the double tree image with white ink and heat embossed it.  To add some texture, I used Vintage Cream felt along the bottom of the designer paper from Authentique (Wonder).  I finished it off with gorgeous faux linen ribbon from May Arts that I've been hoarding and tied it together with some twine.  LOVE IT!!!  :)

Please be sure to check out the YNS Blog for more fun holiday ideas!


Thanks for stopping by today!!

    Ooh, this is Fabulous Miss Wendy! Love all the Wonderful elements you put together on your Adorable tag! I feel much the same as you, the non coloring stamps are a bit of a challenge for me too, I am just starting to figure out how to work with them.. I see such lovely creations folks make with them.. Much like yours here.. 8-) And I agree with April, it's so Beautiful it could be a Christmas Tree Ornament!. Love it! Thanks for the inspiration!

    Hugs

    Terrific with the colours & your stamping on the kraft coloured cardstock - it's very effective combined with the traditional colours.
