Stempel Spass

Great idea to make tags - I love it when something comes in handy! The  Papertrey Blog Hop  task is to make at least five tags and I just managed to make my five.....Its actually the first time I made tags, so this was a new experience for me. They are kind of cute little things to make.... I discovered, that I really don't have a lot of holiday supplies from Papertrey, but enough to take part in the hop.... All the dies are Papertrey, so are the stamps. The Merry Christmas sentiment is from my favorite set called Mixed Messages. The "snowflakes" are from the  Iconic Images set and I put some Stickles on them. And of course I used Twine from the Twinery on my tags. The tag die is from Mama Elephant                                                                         ...

At the  Make it Monday over at Papertrey the theme is collage. I have never attempted a collage. I always found it daunting. But yesterday evening I gave it a try. Dawn McVey has a nice video on her blog - kind of a tutorial. I watched that, took the Playdate Cafe colors of the  week as a guide and here is my card. I think its okay for a first try. Although I generally favor brighter colors.                                                                           All stamps are Papertrey ( Papertrey Harvest Berries, Papertrey Iconic Images, Papertrey Polka Dot Basics and also Damask designs, although it does not show in the picture). --X-- And here is challenge #2 - the new  fusion challenge  by Jackie Rockwell and Lesley Croghan .  ...

With this card I am combining the Make it Monday Challenge from Papertrey - Glitter Trim with the Dynamic Duos challenge and last but not least I am linking this card up with the Simon Says Anything goes challenge Dawn McVey  made this great video about how to make your own glitter trim with a Xyron machine. Now I don't have one, but I have Score tape and that works beautifully. Stuck it onto old cardstock, die cut it with the Papertrey Zig zag dies, peeled off the cover tape and glitttered it with the dynamic duos colors. The daisy die is from Memory Box  - Fresh Daisys die,  the sentiment is Papertrey - Iconic Images and I added 3 little dots with Stickles. Simple, fast and easy. Hope you like it! Have a fantastic day!
