Power Poppy Day 8- Handmade With Love Digis Plus a Giveaway!

Today there is something really fun available in the Power Poppy shop.....digital gift tags!! These designs are so festive and will be the perfect accent to any gift you give. Here is what Marcella had to say about these awesome tags:

A plump package of EIGHT holiday tag designs featuring hand-drawn illustrations by Marcella Hawley. This is one versatile digital download, folks. You get 8 tag designs both with AND without a sentiment inside. Feel free to personalize as you need! Each tag has space for you to sign your name or write out the recipient’s name if the tag is used for gifts.

Images are 3" x 3" and can be resized to suit your tag-making needs. (Digital images are the bees' knees for things like that!)

Images feature everything from a single gift with a ribbon border to a reindeer with ornamental antlers. One features an embroidered look, another a woodsy Thermos with pinecones and twigs. There’s something for everyone!

NOTE: I am still working on the 8th tag... I promise it will be adorable. After purchase, you will receive a note to download the tag when it is added if you buy this set before the tag design is complete.

I used 3 of the designs to create some tags. I stayed with my usual theme of red and green with some brown thrown in :) What can I say, I like traditional for Christmas :)

Here is the really fun part.....I am giving away a $20.00 voucher to the Power Poppy shop!! All you have to do is comment on this post and tell me what your favorite Power Poppy Christmas stamp is. It can be a clear stamp, a digital one, it doesn't matter, just tell me which one you can't live without for your Christmas card making! Entries will close at noon Alaska time on Monday Dec.2nd. The winner will be announced on the Power Poppy blog on Dec.4th (my daughters birthday, wooohoo!)

Don't forget to check out the rest of the DT and see what they did with these fabulous tags!

Tags and Colors for Friday Mashup

I'm late but I made it in with my card for this weeks Friday Mashup challenge!

Tara is our hostess this week and not only does she want us to include a tag on our project, she also wants us to use the following colors: Crisp Cantaloupe, Soft Sky, Primrose Petals and Bermuda Bay.

I'm not a big fan of tags and I don't have any of the tag dies so I chose to make a circle tag. It kind of looks like an ornament but hey, as long as I know its a tag that's all that matters right? LOL

In the recent SU order I got one of the sets I bought was 'For the Birds' and so I broke it out for this card. I kept the card pretty clean and simple, with just a heart in the corner of the tag and paper piercing in the corners. My use of Soft Sky was very subtle....I used it on the mailbox and also lightly sponged the edges of the circle with it.

I hope you'll head over to The Friday Mashup blog to check out what the rest of the design team came up with, and we'd love to have you play along with us!

Lonely Jingle Belles

This week over at the Jingle Belles blog they are letting us make any type of Christmas card we want BUT we have to make something that goes with the card, such as gift tags, card case, gift bag, etc. Anything to ensure that your card isnt lonely! They are also teaming up with the team from The Order of the Opus Gluei for a crossover event.

I decided to use one of my favorite images, the Christmas stamp from the SU set Greeting Card Kids. I just love this little scene! I made 2 tags to go along with the card...I had grand visions of doing something a little bigger and fancier but I'm pressed for time, I'm having surgery on Monday and have a million things to get done before I'm laid up for a bit. Therefore just the tags got done. I tried to keep the elements found in my card on my tags also, such as the embossed dots and the colors. I also wanted to try and keep an "old" feel to the designs.

Supplies used(all supplies SU unless otherwise noted):
Stamps: Greeting Card Kids, Tags For All, A Cute Christmas
Paper: Pink Pirouette, Soft Suede, Brushed Silver, Watercolor Paper
Ink: Soft Suede, Black StazOn, Pink Pirouette
Accessories: SU Watercolor Crayons, Blender Pen, sponge, ribbon from S.E.I., Scallop Edge Border Punch, CB Swiss Dots Folder
