December 2009 Angel Art Blog Hop: All Wrapped Up

This month's theme centers around holiday packaging and gift wrap. I wanted to create a few customized packages for a few special gifts I'll be giving this year. So I challenged the Angels to do the same. Hope you'll be inspired to try a few of these ideas :)

I created some tile coasters that I'll share in a few days :) to fit in this box. They fit perfectly! I purchased the box from Michaels. Don't forget that you can always click the images to enlarge the photos for a close up view :)

  I also bought some pretty red poinsettia garland for my banisters. Unfortunately a few of the poinsettias fell off. My DS said, "Hey Mom, why don't you use them for your scraps or something." Smart cookie huh: :) So I decided to use them for both of my projects!

 

I used a stamp from TAC's Aged Ornaments stamp set & L'Amore red ink to stamp the pattern. Then wrapped some red sticky tape around the box and covered it & embossed it with gold embossing powder. Love how that turned out! 

Supplies:
Stamps:    TAC's Aged Ornaments
Ink: Palette L'Amore Red
Other:    Poinsettia, scrappers floss, gold embossing powder, kraft box

 

I'm not sure what I'm going to put in this bag, probably something sweet :) I used a little Cuttlebug tag, and some stamps to create the background. 

Supplies:
Stamps:    TAC's PWP stamp, Tag Tidbits, & Snowflakes
Ink: Palette L'Amore Red & Giverny Green
Other:    Poinsettia, mini lunch sack, Cuttlebug tag, & scrappers floss

Holiday Celebration 2009

Nov. AA Blog Hop: Holiday Cards 10 Minutes or less

Hi all! This month I challenged the Angels to whip up some holiday cards in 10 minutes or less. I hope you'll be inspired to create some of your own! 

I paired one of TAC's PWP stamps with cardstock  &  some basic grey patterned paper to create this card. It's a fairly large sentiment that works well without another focal image... and for $2.95 you can't beat that! 

Supplies:
Stamps:    Holly Jolly PWP
Paper:    TAC Natural cardstock & Basic Grey patterned paper
Ink: Palette L'Amore Red & Jardin Moss
Other:    Red snaps

 

This one features an image from Flowers & Holly, also paired with Basic Grey patterned paper. 

Supplies:
Stamps:    Flowers & Holly
Paper:    Red & white cardstock, Basic Grey patterned paper
Ink: Palette Noir 
Other:    Copic Markers & red grosgrain ribbon

Give Thanks

I usually send very few Thanksgiving cards but I try to make one or two each year. TAC is having a sale on their paper collections so I ordered Rustic Chic. This collections has been around for awhile but I've never ordered it. After seeing some awesome creations using it I decided to finally order some. 

 

I really bought it to create a layout of my son wearing one of his cowboy hats his father picked up for him in Texas while there on a business trip. But I thought this paper would also make some great fall cards too! 

Supplies:

Stamps: TAC's Delicious Autumn
Paper: Rustic Chic patterned paper, brown & white cardstock
Other: Palette Noir & Burnt Umber ink pads, Prismacolor colored pencils,
baby oil, brown ribbon 7 button, & white scrappers floss

Thanks for looking! Have a great Monday :)

Can you believe it?

I actually used TAC stamps that aren't retired!

 
(Click photo to enlarge)

Well technically I guess I did... the sentiment is from a retired set called Chicken Scratch but I also used TWO new sets :) Well new only because I've haven't shared a creation on my blog using them. The butterfly is from a set called Wishing Happiness and the stripes on the bottom of the card base is an image from Friendships Strips.

Thanks for looking!

Stamps:  TAC's Wishing Happiness, Friendship Strips, & Chicken Scratch
Paper:      US white, Bazzill purple & black CS
