Hello!  Our friend Taheerah is having an Advent Calendar blog event and we are so happy to be a part of it again this year.  

 

I created this festive gift bag and wine tag in celebration of the event.  I cut iron on glitter paper with our dies and ironed the die cuts onto the bag.  It was really fast and easy.  I love the look.  The wine tag came together quickly as well.  I love that I have a few things on hand to dress up some gifts when I need them.

 Supplies:

Peace Love Joy Dies

Fa La La Clear Stamps

Christmas Florals Clear Stamps & Dies

Cherry Pigment Ink

Celery Pigment Ink

New Moon Dye Ink

Cherry Hemp Twine

Inspiration from JJ & Heather & More

Hello!  I have some amazing inspiration from Heather and JJ to share with you today.

Heather used our Sweet Scallops Dies along with our Christmas Florals clear stamps and dies and the banner from Fa La La to create this holiday photo greeting card.  I love the idea of mass assembling a card like this for the holidays. It is so cute!

Heather used our Penguin Greetings clear stamps and dies, our Snow Caps dies, Swim Team dies and patterned paper from our Everyday Collection to create this next card.  I love the falling snow, that snowboarding penguin and the fun sentiment!

Heather used our Sweet Scallops dies and Christmas Florals stamps and dies to create this next card.  I love the way she framed the gorgeous sentiment in flowers!!  They really pop against the scalloped kraft card base.

JJ used our Dashing and Fa La La stamps and die, Custom Panels die, Double Pierced Rectangle die, and patterned paper from our Jewel Collection to create this next card.  I love the way she shaded a little bit of blue in behind the car.  It is a small detail that makes a big impact!

JJ used our Pick N Mix clear stamps and dies, Sweet Scallops die,  and patterned paper from our Brights Collection to create this next card. I love how JJ cut out the inside of the treat bag and layered all of the yummy candy images inside.  It is very clever and adds some great depth and detail to the card.
