It's Beginning to Look Like Christmas

Yes, I said it. Christmas is coming at us like a bullet train.

If you want to make your Christmas cards and tags this year

you had better get on the ball!

You know you won't have time to do it next month.

If you are hopping you've come from Emily's beautiful blog.

Don't forget to leave some luv and have a chance to win

one of TWO $10 in-store credits to Lil' Inker Designs.

Speaking of Lil' Inkers, I used this darling new die to make those jingle bells.

Aren't they the sweetest with those tiny stars and band detail?!

I just had to use this paper... Christmas Sleigh Song by American Crafts & Dear Lizzy. Love.

So I had paper sitting around after I made this and

I made a couple of quick holiday tags.

I like playing around with the negatives of die

cut images, so many options!

These tags use this die and stamp set.

These were truly made with scraps on my desk and ribbon from my scrap box.

A fun trick with clear stamps, bend them on the block before it's inked.

Here's the negative of the tree from the first tag. I filled it with a red tree embossed with polka dots.

Next on the hop is.... the uber-creative Jen del Muro,
check her work out!
