  Hi Everyone, This week it's all about tags and gift holders at the  Topflight blog .  I used on of the tab tags from Studio Light and cut off the tab. I stamped the baubles and masked them. I brushed the background with distress inks (Uncharted mariner and Peacock Feathers). I colored the baubles with alcohol ink markers - not the best paper for it, but it kind of worked out. I diecut the opening for my spinner insert.  I stamped one of the baubles onto scrap paper twice and colored them as well.  Added them to the cut out, which I diecut a size smaller than the opening and added the cut out baubles with some silver string in between and secured it to the back of the tag. Added some of the smaller stamps in gold and silver ink Added  stickles to the ornaments and a ribbon from my stash.  And don't forget that there is still several days left to get 20% off everything on the store! I hope you liked this. Thanks for visiting.  See you next week with more  Topflight Stamps  insp

  Hi Everybody!  I made this card with some of the older stamps from  Crackerbox Stamps . They are still fabulous and just need to see some ink every once in a while.   Some of the products I have used have been provided to me from various companies I design for. Affiliate links may be used in the links provided below. I used patterned paper for my background (Funky Fossil  White Winter Magic paper pad ) and stamped the   Blowing Snowflakes Tree   and the  Magic and Bright  sentiment with Versamark and heat embossed both. I took a grey Copic marker and drew along the tree trunk and branches as well as along the sentiment to add some dimension. I took white gems and added them to the snowflakes - for the tiny flakes I used Stickles. Sponged around the edges and added a silver thread. The stamps I used: Blowing Snowflakes Tree Magic and Bright  And just that you won't miss out - the coffee lovers hop is still going on and Crackerbox Stamps offers a 20% discount - see graphic below.
