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                                                                         ...

I gave the White on White challenge at Simons Says  a try. It is not easy. I wanted to keep the design clean and simple. I used the Simon Says Fresh Daisies die cut, scored the card and added the sentiment (Hero Arts Sending Smiles Messages - Cl 490) with Platinum ink. I thought black ink would be too harsh. --X-- Here is my second card that I made for the KIS challenge Schneemaenner/Snowmen . I actually thought I'll post this later, but then changed my mind an I am posting this one first, why not...... I used the snowman die from the Papertrey made of snow die collection, dressed him up with a hat and mittens with some glossy enamel. The sunglasses are Inkadinkadoo and the sentiment is a snag'em stamps. The background snow is Stampin' up.

I recently got this cute snowman die cut set from Papertrey. This makes for quick cards, both with the positive and negative die cut. Here is an example with the negative die. I love how this pairs up with this beautiful Hero Arts sentiment from the large clear set - Holiday wishes I submitted this to the A Blog named Hero challenge #15 http://ablognamedhero.blogspot.co.nz/2012/11/challenge-15-ol-1-2-punch.htm
