 Hello Friends!

I hope you had a wonderful weekend. Since Christmas is around the corner, here is some sweet inspiration. This card shows how to use a tag and make it into a card. You can easily make this an all occasion card by just changing the stamps you use. With as many chickies as DeNami has, the possibilities are endless.

Lisa P gave some wonderful instruction on how you can easily make this card. Even if you have never stamped before, the simplicity will inspire you to make them for all your loved ones.

Here's Lisa's instructions:

This one features several of the new Chickie images, which I absolutely ADORE! This is an A1-size card, which measures 3 1/2” x 4 7/8”

I cut an A1-size panel from white cardstock, embossed it with the DA-1218 Diagonal Stripe embossing folder, and adhered it to a top-folding white card base. I die-cut a tag twice, once with windows and once without. I lined up the two die-cut tags and traced the window outlines lightly in pencil onto the second tag to help me with the placement of my stamped images. I stamped the images within each window (sometimes masking areas to make sure the image stayed within the window), allowed the ink a little time to dry and erased my pencil lines. I colored the images with markers and added a touch of sparkle with a Wink Of Stella Pen. I adhered the tag with the windows on top of the tag with the stamped images using Tombow Mono Multi Liquid Glue. Using a hole punch, I punched a couple of holes in the top of the tag and tied on some baker’s twine. To finish, I adhered the tag to the card front with adhesive foam tabs.

Quick and easy and TOTALLY CUTE!

Hope you like my project for today and feel inspired to create some festive holiday cards to send to your friends and loved ones!
