Pixi Dust Designs - Christmas Tags - Nutcracker Mug

 Hello! I am popping in to share some more Christmas tags I made with the new Nutcracker Mug die from Pixi Dust Designs.  I adore the mug dies that Sandra has in her shop!   


I went tradition with the first one and then brightened it up for the second.  I definitely want to make severl more of the brights!  I am making some holiday cookies this year with a Nutcracker theme and these will be so cool to add to the packaging.    

These are so much fun to make. The dies and the package really help with how to add all the little bits and pieces which makes it super easy.  There are lines that the die will leave to help guide you along!

Pixi Dust Designs - Christmas in July

 Hello!  I am guest designing for Pixi Dust Designs and sharing some projects I made with the Christmas in July release!  

I was able to use the new Stocking Gift Card Holder die and the X-Mas Pals die.  I made four of these tags but I will be making more of these cute stockings for tags and gift card holders for the holidays.  



The X-mas Pals die add just such sweet cuteness to these stockings!  They can be added to many different things and so much fund to build. I used them as huggers for the top and then added to the front of the stocking like an applique.  

With the Stocking Gift Card Holder die - there is a pocket on the back and another die that allows you to add a gift card with slits to add the gift card.  


You can use traditional Christmas colors or design these to match your gift wrap paper!   How adorable and so much fun to make.

Inspired By Challenge - Hamburg

 


Hello! I am sharing a card that I made with this week's Inspired By Challenge.  I decided to go with the "inspired by" theme using the linear lines of the buildings and card design.   I trimmed down several strips of cardstock and then covered with double sided tape and added fine white glitter to each strip.   The Scoop even mimics the lines of the buildings!   




I used The Greetery What's the Scoop die set along with the Hey Honeycomb Ice Cream Cone die along with the What's the Scoop stamp set.   I hope you get an opportunity to play along with the challenge this week!

Inspired By Challenge - Peerless Watercolor Poppies

I have not watercolored in a long time! I used my Peerless Watercolor swatches. These are so bright and vibrant and I had forgotten how easy and fun they were to color with. So relaxing!




I used Whimsy Stamps: Himalayan Poppy stamp along with the Speckled Background stamp. I love that the Nested Hexagon die set comes with a large scalloped hexagon die to create a frame.


For my card design this week, I used the Inspired By Challenge sketch. To mirror the three boxes I trimmed the right side of the die cut panel. Come play along at the Inspired By Challenge!

Inspired By Challenge - Picnic

 Hello! I am sharing my card that I created for the Inspired By Challenge this week!   The theme this week is Picnic! I knew right away I wanted to use some new products that I just ordered from The Greetery called Sippin" Summer.   I love this lemonade themed set and combined it with the Botanicals Strawberry die.  How refreshing!   This card was so fun to make.  







I created my background using the new A2 Stitched Scallops die along with the Scalloped Gingham stencil.  You have to check out the posts on The Greetery to see all the fun things you can do with the stencil that pairs with this die.  I created a soft pink background to play off the strawberries!  I loved created the Trendy Tumbler and the Sippin Summer stamp set.   There are some great sentiments that pair along with the Squeeze the Day Sentiments stamp set.  



I hope you get time to play along with this week's challenge!  Check out the post on the Inspired By Challenge blog!!
