Annual Tags Event 3

The first two tags featured here use the Buffalo Check Background stamp.   Take a look around... clothing, decor - the Buffalo Check is everywhere!

This tag actually came together very quickly.  You could many many of these in a very short time.  The next tag too, actually. 

 The greeting above and the reindeer below come from the same stamp/die set.  Dashing Deer has lots of options!  The two white die cuts come from the die set Stitched Labels.  Both of the sets are so versatile!

I LOVE this tag!  It took time and lots of die cuts.  So worth it in the end!  This is the tag I used 4 reds to color the poinsettia.  More about that below.  

 Everything from this tag save the Stitched Labels die come from the Poinsettia stamp set and die cuts.

I used 4 red Stampin' Blends to color this poinsettia.  Real Red Dark, Real Red Light, Cherry Cobbler Dark, and Cherry Cobbler Light.  As in any alcohol marker coloring... start with the darkest colors following the rule of shadows, and blend with the lighter colors to give dimension to plane figures.
I used Shaded Spruce Blends for the leaves.

Christmas in July - July 23, 2018

 I'm featuring two greens on this card because ivy greens are much darker and shinier than evergreen needles. 
The stamp set is still a favorite of mine called Watercolor Winter.  I've made many cards from it over the years.  This is an updated version with new dies and a new technique.

 I used the Stitched Die to cut out a piece from the base and used my Stamparatus to stamp all of the holly and berries pieces.  I used the Shaded Spruce and Cherry Cobbler markers to color then stamp the holly pieces.

 The evergreen needles were stamped in Garden Green randomly to cover the background.  I cut a piece of real red from the layering dies to frame the holly and berries.

The new stamp set Around the Corner is featured on the inside of the card. 

This set of six cards is very special!  There are now 100 cards for July so far!  We'll have to see how many I end up with by the 31st.

Christmas in July - July 15, 2018

This card uses a lot of Stampin' Up! ink.  The hat itself was 4 different colors, the scarf and pipe each used 3 different ink colors, and the scarf used two.  Talk about Multi-step stamping!  I've made these melting snowmen before.  The first time I saw them was a card I received from my niece.  It was really adorable.  I took my stamp set from a different company, and made my own. 

I made 11 of these cards.  It's easy to do the multi-step stamping when you just keep stamping.  There also are no dies to the stamp set, so after I stamped all the hats and scarves my recliner was the perfect spot to do some fussy cutting.

Total cards so far:  69

Christmas in July - July 11, 2018

This card I'm presenting today has a lot of detail and is actually quite easy.  Die cuts, and embossing folder, and a little stamping.  That's it!


At the bottom, right above the Product List, look for "Print Recipe" for detailed directions on this simple card. 

I die cut two of the Shaded Spruce lace pieces, and the white label.  I also used Shaded Spruce to stamp the Noel from the Christmas Pines stamp set. 

 

Click on the picture for a closer view of the embossing on the strip of Whisper White.  It's from the Tufted embossing folder.  It's so pretty!  You're going to see it often.  I added some pearls where the lines crossed for an added touch.

I hope you like this card as much as I do.  It's highly detailed (just the way I like my cards), but so very easy.  

As I've been making multiples for Christmas in July, I made six of these cards.  

I'll post a total in a few days.
