Hi Friends,

I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving. The end of Thanksgiving seems to mark the Christmas season upon us.
I love Christmas! My favorite part is all the fun and festivities. I like to make time for the simple things such as enjoying activities and making some homespun gifts and cards. I try not to make my cards too complicated so that I can enjoy the process and not stress get the better of me.

Today, DT Lisa created a lovely yet simple card that you can easily create and still have time for the fun of the season. You can change out the colors to suit your preferences such as making it a winter blue with silver accents, or monochromatic in black, grey and white. How about a pastel version? It doesn't take  too much to make this all your own.

Hopefully, this will inspire you to begin making your cards.

Hi Friends,

Who doesn't like yummy treats?! It is even better when it is made with love. The best way to show that love is making it yourself. I always love seeing personal creations and all the imagination and time that went into it.

Today, Lisa created an adorable set of labels that can be used for many purposes. You can attach them to the front of a card for an easy card, or attach to gift tags or lastly, attach to a treat or gift! She was so creative in what she attached these little labels to. Be sure you stick around to find out.

The best part about these labels is that they are simple to make since they don't involve any coloring. All you need is a black ink pad. My fave is always VersaFine available here.

Here's how Lisa did it:

Hi! It’s Lisa P, and today I’m sharing some Halloween labels I made using a combination of brand new and previously released images from DeNami Design. For my project I used the labels to dress up some treat boxes, but you could also use them to decorate gift bags or even turn them into tags with the help of a little bit of twine.



For the mummy label I started with a PC44 Charcoal tag that I die-cut with PPPD09 Pretty Pink Posh Stitched Tags Dies. I stamped the bats from the newly released CL-PF67 Halloween Night in TK-VF082 Onyx Black Versafine Ink. I then stamped the CL-E156 Friendly Mummy twice onto white cardstock, added a tiny bit of color with marker, fussy cut the images out, and adhered them to the tag one on top of the other (using foam adhesive on the top one to add dimension). I then layered the decorated oval tag with an orange die-cut doily.




For the RIP label I started with a golden yellow tag that I die-cut with PPPD09 Pretty Pink Posh Stitched Tags Dies. I stamped the trees and bats from the newly released CL-PF67 Halloween Night in TK-VF082 Onyx Black Versafine Ink. I drew in the line for the ground with a black marker. I then stamped the RIP tombstone twice onto light gray cardstock, fussy cut the images out, and adhered them to the tag one on top of the other (using foam adhesive on the top one to add dimension). I then layered the decorated oval tag with a light gray die-cut doily.





I had so much fun making these labels!!! And the best part was using them to dress up these coffin treat boxes that I made using a template I found online! You can find all of the details by visiting my blog. Here’s how they turned out:





I hope you enjoyed my post for today!
