Christmas Elf Puppet Tag!

Hello and Welcome!

Watch video tutorial here!

Let’s have some fun creating a “Christmas in July” tag today using the adorable Ai Elf Puppet Set!  This die set includes all of the dies needed to create the cute little elf.  We will be die cutting all of our pieces from some white Strathmore Bristol Smooth cardstock and then coloring them in using the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens in the following colors: Blender, Flesh Colour, Tea Rose, May Green, Deep Red, Beige, Mid Brown, Gray.  You could also use some colored cardstock, or some patterned papers if you prefer.


To create the eyes on this little elf I am going to “cheat” a little bit by using the Ai Easter Bunny Puppet Set (5869).  To do this we can mask off the bunny stamp and only stamp the eyes!  I’ll show you how I did this in the video.  This is a great way to add the facial features if you are not sure how to add these on your own.  However, I did use a permanent marker to draw in the nose and mouth.


I’ll show you how easy it is to assemble the elf in today’s video and then we will create a pretty tag base using a few different sizes of tag dies and some patterned papers from the Ai Christmas S2 PP (5812).  


Now, let’s do some spattering with white ink for the look of a snowy background.  Just be sure to cover the face with a piece of scrap paper before you begin the spattering so that you don’t ruin that pretty face that you spent some time on!


Next, we will add some details and highlights using a white gel pen.  I like to add polka dots… so I added some to the hat and shoes!


For a few finishing touches we will add some Wink of Stella Clear Glitter Pen to the cuffs of the jacket and to the hat.  We will also add some pretty gems for a bit more sparkle and some baker’s twine in red, green, and white to the top of the tag!


This elf die set would be great for your journals, scrapbook pages, cards and so much more!


Here is that puppet treat bag video that I mentioned using one of the puppet sets:

Christmas Stocking Shaped Cards!

Hello and Welcome!

Watch video tutorial here!

Let’s create two fun stocking shaped cards today. These can be used as tags or ornaments as well!

We will begin with the Ai Dwelling Christmas Set (6124) for some small images, which we will stamp and color using the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens in the following colors: Blender, Tea Rose, Beige, Mid Brown, May Green, Deep Green.

We can die cut those images using the Ai Nested Circle Dies (5726) and then ink around the edges using the Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Inks in Lumberjack Plaid and Rustic Wilderness.

Now to create the stocking shaped card base we will use our stocking die. I will show you exactly how to die cut this in today’s video. This technique can be used with any of your shaped dies and gives your cards a unique and fun look!

Let’s die cut an additional stocking for the front of the card and begin by stenciling a pretty sweater pattern on it using the Lawn Fawn Cozy Sweater Stencil. Now we can ink around the edges of each stocking with the coordinating color.

Let’s also die cut a topper for the stocking using some pretty Lawn Fawn Sparkle Cardstock. With some additional sparkle cardstock we will die cut the “Joy” sentiments using the Ai Jesus & Joy Dies (5986) and the snowflake using the Ai Lg Snowflake Dies (5353).

Now we will add the circle with the images to the center of each of the snowflakes and then for a bit more sparkle we will add some pretty confetti to each!

Let’s also add a nice border to the bottom of the stocking using the Lawn Fawn Nordic Snowflake Border using some more sparkle paper and then adding a few more sequins.

Finally, we can stamp a cute sentiment on the inside of the card and attach the decorated stocking to the front of the card!

Holiday Favor Jars!

Hello and Welcome!

Watch video tutorial here!

Let’s have some fun creating these adorable little Holiday Favor Jars! Making party favors is absolutely one of my favorite things to do! We will be using the brand-new Ai Christmas Keepsake Set (6104) which includes an adorable snowman, reindeer, elf, and Christmas tree. There is also a little wooden basket/barrel that will fit any of these images and will coordinate perfectly with the other set in this series…Ai Fall Keepsake Set (6105). You can easily mix and match the little tin bucket and this wooden container to hold any of these little images!

To begin today’s project, we will stamp, color and die cut all of the images. All of the coloring will be done using the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens in the following colors: Blender, Sugared Almond Pink, Deep Red, Peach Pink, Lt Pink, Geranium Red, Wine Red, Yellow, Bright Yellow, Orange, Flesh Colour, Mustard, Beige, Mid Brown, Haze Blue, Blue, Deep Blue, May Green, Green, Lt Gray, Gray.

I used some small Mason Jars for this project, and I will show you exactly which ones I used in today’s video. We will first die cut the lacy borders using the Ai BJ Decorative Margin Dies (5972). These nice long (7″) dies will fit perfectly around the jars. We will die cut the border once and then run it through the die cutting machine again to die cut the other side. There is a little trick to doing this which I will also show you in the video.

Now we will grab the Ai Winter Woodland Cover PP (5964) to add to this lacy border. Again, this paper is a little longer and will allow us to go around the jars nicely. We can now wrap these around the jars and add our little images to the front of each.

For the top of the lids, we will die cut a small circle using the Ai Winter Woodland PP 6″x6″ (5963) in a pretty red. Then we will add a snowflake to each using the Ai Lg Snowflake Dies (5353). And to the center of each snowflake, we will add a few sparkly confetti sequins.

We will wrap the top of the jars with some red and white baker’s twine and tie on a cute little tag using a few sentiments from this same stamp set!

Then we can add a few white paper shreds, that will look like snow and then add some festive holiday treats!

There is currently a bundled set which includes these two new container sets as well as these other products and is linked below:

This 4pc Keepsake Bundle includes: https://tidd.ly/4aoQMYP

  • 6104 – Christmas Keepsake Set
  • 6105 – Fall Keepsake Set
  • 6107 – Snowman Hugs Set
  • 6119 – Elf Puppet Set

I’m also including another video from the Ai Woodland Series that was released over the weekend that you may have missed, and I will link it here for you:

How To Create a Winter Scene – Bridge Card!

Hello and Welcome!

Watch video tutorial here!

We are going to have some great fun today creating a pretty winter scene “bridge” card! Don’t worry it is super simple, and I will give you all of the instructions and dimensions in today’s video!

Let’s create this “bridge” card today using the brand-new Ai Woodland Bench Scene (6088) stamp! This set is part of the new Woodland Series Stamp Sets! There are six new sets in this series! Please note, there is a really great Holiday Lane Bundle Set which is currently available at a great discounted price and it includes the following:

(2) Woodland Christmas Paper Packs (6×6 & 6×9)

(6) Woodland Scene Stamps

(1) Holiday Lane Box Village Template Die Set

Let’s get started by stamping and coloring the images using the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens in the following colors: Blender, Sugared Almond Pink, Lt Beige, Yellow, Orange, Persian Green, Haze Blue, Aquamarine Blue, Dull Blue, Purple, Beige, Mid Brown, Platinum Brown, Green Gray, Lt Gray, Gray.

Next, we can create a pretty gold frame for this image using the Ai Oval Double Stitched Dies (5065) and the Ai Scalloped Oval Dies (6046).

To create the “bridge” design we will be cutting the center portion from a standard A2 size card. I will show you exactly how to do this in today’s video!

We will add a few embossed panels to each side of the card. This will not only add some elegance to the card but will also give a bit more stability to the card.

Now we will glue the oval frame to the front of the card…. only applying glue to the sides of the oval. I did back the framed oval with a solid gold oval to finish off the inside of the card as well; however you may skip this step if you wish.

For the inside of the card, we will die cut two more stitched ovals from gold and white cardstock and stamp the sentiment. Let’s also emboss the sentiment with some gold embossing powder to continue that elegant look! I’ll show you a little trick for lining this up perfectly on the inside of the card!

For a finishing touch, we can add a few pretty glittery snowflakes to the front and inside of the card and a few sparkly gems in the center of the snowflakes!

Woodland Critters Ornament Shaped Cards!

Hello and Welcome!

Watch video tutorial here!

Let’s create some fun and festive holiday ornament cards using some brand-new stamps from Art Impressions! We will be using the cute little woodland creatures decorating the snowman and the little bunnies gathering the mail! We will be using two of the new Woodland Series Stamp Sets today! I will link these two sets down below as well as a really great Holiday Lane Bundle Set which is currently available at a great discounted price and it includes the following:

(2) Woodland Christmas Paper Packs (6×6 & 6×9)

(6) Woodland Scene Stamps

(1) Holiday Lane Box Village Template Die Set

Today, we will start by stamping the images and die cutting them using a pretty Hero Arts Ornament Die Set. We will be cutting this into a simple circle a bit later on….so you can just use a circle die here if you prefer. But if you do use the ornament die, I will show you a little trick for turning this into a circle.

Next, we can do the coloring using the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens in the following colors: Blender, Sugared Almond Pink, Wine Red, Lt Beige, Yellow, Orange, Pale Green, May Green, Green, Turquoise Green, Cobalt Blue, Lt Brown, Beige, Dk Oatmeal, Lt Gray, Gray, Mid Brown.

Let’s add a little sparkle to the snow using the Wink of Stella Clear Glitter Pen. We can also add some pretty details and highlights with a white gel pen.

Now we can die cut the largest ornament die two times in mermaid cardstock and two times in raspberry cardstock. At this point, let’s add a sentiment on the inside of the card using the Ai Christmas Sentiments Set (5566).

With the front of the card, we can add some pretty snowflake rub-ons in gold and silver. These are so easy to use and add an elegant touch. You could also just stamp and emboss some pretty snowflakes as well.

We will be gluing these ornaments back-to-back to create a card design. But first, we need to score the top of one of the ornaments right below where the ornament topper ends. Then let’s place some glue above the score line and attach these together to create the card. I’ll show you exactly how to do this in today’s video!

Now we will die cut just the topper portion of the ornament die in gold and silver. You will need two of each if you want to do the back side of the card as well. Let’s glue these on the ornaments!

Finally, we will add a few sparkly gems and some pretty sheer ribbon!

Tim Holtz – Stencils, Spritz, Dies, Stickers, Glitter and Glaze!

Hello and Welcome!

Watch video tutorial!

Today we will be breaking out a whole bunch of Tim Holtz products to creating two vintage holiday cards with lots of texture and dimension!

I’ll show you a fun way to use your Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Inks along with your TH Distress Embossing Glazes to create a fun ombre’ tree. For the tree we will be using the TH Stampers Anonymous Mini Layering Stencils – Set 62. This stencil set contains three fun mini stencils…perfect for your holiday cards and projects!

We will add a pretty poinsettia and leaves using the TH Sizzix Thinlits – Vault Holiday Classic die set and from this same set we will die cut the “Peace” sentiment. This set includes “Noel” and “Wish” and any of these would work great for this card.

We will also grab a cute reindeer from the TH Sizzix Thinlits – Darling Dear set. To color this we will just use the TH Distress Oxide in Antique Linen and Walnut Stain which will be very simple and easy to do.

For the sentiment strip on each of the cards we will use the idea-ology – Metallic Sticker Book. The stickers in this booklet include white with gold lettering and black with gold lettering and there are so many to choose from!

For the background paper we will use the TH idea-ology Christmas Backdrops and then spatter these panels with some TH Distress Spritz in coordinating colors.

We can add a nice snowy border on the bottom of the card and sprinkle it with some TH Rock Candy Glitter for a wintery look!

Don’t forget to add a few sparkly gems to your tree for added sparkle and interest!

Tim Holtz Mixed Media Santa Postage Card!

Hello and Welcome!

Watch video tutorial here!

Please join me today in creating a vintage mixed media Christmas card using lots of products from the Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous Collections!

We will be using the wonderful “Santa Visit” Stamp Set as our focal image and we will be coloring it using the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens in the following colors: Blender, Flesh Colour, Blossom Pink, Deep Red, Ice Blue, Dull Blue, Ever Green, Beige, Mid Brown, Lt Gray, Dk Gray.

We will die cut this image with the Scrapbook.com Nested Stitched Stamps Dies and after the coloring is complete we will add some ink around the edges with the TH Distress Oxide Inks in Antique Linen and Walnut Stain.

We can add a cute little cancellation stamp in the corner using the TH Stampers Anonymous Stamp/Stencil Set #41. This set has a stencil and several postal related stamps!

Let’s create a background panel for this postage stamp using those same inks and adding some TH Distress Spritz in Rustic Wilderness and Walnut Stain. This will leave a nice spattering that has a beautiful shimmer!

We will also add some stamping the this background and then some TH Texture Paste using the TH Stampers Anonymous Mini Layering Stencils – Set 62.

Next, we can die cut a pretty vintage Sizzix Thinlits – Crochet border to place just under the postage stamp design. Let’s also add a pretty poinsettia and leaves using the TH Sizzix Thinlits – Funky Nordic die set.

We will assemble the card using some cool greens from the TH idea-ology Kraft-stock for added layering.

And finally, let’s add a few sparkly gems for a bit more interest and dimension!

If you are interested in a previous card that I created using the “Santa Visit” Stamp Set, it will be linked here for you:

Snow Globe Gift Card Holder using Exclusive SSS/Ai Collaboration Set!

Hello and Welcome!

Watch video tutorial here!

Today I am so excited to show you the brand-new “limited edition” collaborative stamp set from Simon Says Stamp and Art Impressions! This adorable little Snow Globe GCH Set (6123) is designed as an add-on set to the Art Impressions Envelope GCH Set (5344).

Keep in mind that if you want to create the gift card holder you will need to purchase the Envelope GCH separately. Once you have this you can add any of the various add-ons to this set and they will coordinate perfectly. Some of the add-ons available include the Santa GCH Set (5339), Snowman GCH Set (5340), Black Cat GCH Set (5341), Pumpkin GCH Set (5342), Birthday Cake GCH Set (5407), Bunny GCH Set (5872), and the Java GCH Set (5343). These are all listed and linked down below for you!

Let’s begin by die cutting all of the pieces needed to create this fun little snowman and snow globe. I used a combination of patterned papers from the Classic Christmas Paper Packs. The cover paper pack will be large enough to allow us to die cut the envelope template easily! Then I used a variety of solid colors for some of the other pieces. For the frame, I used a gold metallic cardstock and for the sentiment banner I used some sparkle cardstock.

I thought it would be fun to create a shaker snow globe so we will layer up some frames to give us a nice pocket to place some pretty sparkly gems.

Let’s add some white ink to the trees and some ink around the edges of the holly leaves, and snowy borders.

Now we can assemble the snowman and the shaker element. I will show you exactly how to create this in today’s video!

Next, we can die cut the envelope using that Christmas Cover Paper Pack and quickly assemble using some 1/4″ double-sided tape.

Keep in mind that you do not have to place this little shaker onto the gift card envelope…it would be great on a card or as an ornament or Christmas tag!

Joyful Snowmen Gift Card Pocket Cards!

Hello and Welcome!

Watch video tutorial here!

I’ve got a brand-new winter/holiday stamp and die set to show you today…and you are going to love it. The set Ai Snowman Hugs Set (6107) is the cutest collection of snowmen and lots of sentiments, as well as the coordinating dies! We will be using two of the snowman images today to create our Gift Card Pocket Cards!

Let’s go ahead and stamp and die-cut the images. For coloring we will be using the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens in the following colors: Blender, Sugared Almond Pink, Peach Pink, Orange, Ice Blue, Sea Green, Haze Blue, Persian Green, Lt Red Grape, Deep Red Grape, Lt Gray, Ever Green, Mid Green, Beige, Mid Brown. Now we can add some nice details to the images using a white gel pen. Let’s add a plaid and some polka dots for added interest.

Next, let’s create the card base. We will add a pretty open scalloped border using the Ai BJ Decorative Margin Dies (5972). This nice long 7″ margin die is perfect for your longer projects or scrapbook pages and journals. I’ll show you in today’s video how to die-cut just the border…it’s quick and easy to do!

Let’s create some pretty backgrounds for the front and inside of the cards using the Ai Christmas Magic PP (5853). We will select a pretty polka dot for the outside of both cards and a stripe and plaid for the insides.

We can glue those in place and next we can create the gift card pocket which will match the border on the front of the card perfectly. And to do this, we will use the Ai BJ Pocket Die Set (5985) which also includes a beautiful cross die!

We can fold the pockets along the score lines and add adhesive to secure them on the inside of the card. We will also cut another piece of leftover patterned paper for a layer on the pockets.

For the “Joy” sentiment we will use the Ai Jesus and Joy Die Set (5986). We will die-cut the word three times, once from some glitter cardstock, and two times more from some 100lb white cardstock. By gluing these together, we will get a nice thick sentiment for the front of the card.

Let’s die-cut some snowflakes using that same die set from that same glitter paper and add them to the front of the cards and on the gift card pocket on the inside of the card.

For a bit of sparkle, we will add some pretty gems in lilac and green to each of the snowflakes on the front of the cards! Just insert your gift card or note card or both and you are all set!

Tim Holtz Texture Fades and Dies w/ Metallic Gilding Polish!

Hello and Welcome!

Watch video tutorial here!

I’ve got and extra special “pretty in pink” metallic holiday card to show you today! We will not only be using several wonderful Tim Holtz products but also the gorgeous Cosmic Shimmer Metallic Gilding Polish!

If you haven’t seen these gilding polishes before you may want to check out these videos that I had previously posted. There is lots of information about the gilding polish and the opal polishes as well. I will link those here for you:

So for today’s card, let’s begin by setting the scene for the poinsettia that we will be creating by embossing some white 100lb cardstock using a 3D Texture Fades Embossing Folder. Almost any pretty, swirly, background embossing folder would be perfect for this card. Once the embossing is done, we will add some Gilding polish in Citrus Green, Coral Sands, and Pink Sunset. I’ll talk about some techniques that I use to apply the Gilding Polish to my projects in today’s video.

Let’s use those same colors to create a “woodgrain” style background to mount the embossed panel onto. This will coordinate perfectly and bring everything together!

Next, for the beautiful poinsettia, we will use the Tim Holtz Sizzix Thinlits – Vault Seasonal Sketch. Again, using those same gilding colors we will apply the ink to some white cardstock and then die cut the poinsettias and leaves. Now we can assemble the flower and leaves!

For the center of the flower, we will add a few sparkly gems for a bit more interest and dimension. To give these a bit more dimension you can easily shape the flowers with your fingers by just curling up the petals. It is a simple touch that adds so much to your flowers and leaves!

Let’s die cut the word “Merry” from the Tim Holtz Sizzix Thinlits – Merry & Bright die set. We will die cut 3 or 4 of these and attach them together to create a nice thick sentiment. We will add some of the Pink Sunset Polish to this sentiment first and then scrape on some of the Coral Sands in a few places. You will love how this looks!

Finally, let’s assemble the card and add a strip of white embossed paper just underneath the poinsettia for a simple way of visually grounding this beautiful flower!
