Blessings

Stacey here sharing a little Christmas inspiration using one of the new stamp sets at The Craft's Meow!  This set, Christmas Blessings, is loaded with beautiful and faith-filled sentiments and three gorgeous distressed silhouette images.   

After choosing just the right papers, I die cut a stitched circle and doily for some layering.  I heat embossed both the angel and star images with white embossing powder, then sponged around them with distress inks to make them more visible...even though, I love the subtle look that they have.  The sentiment tag was inked up in gray and sewn down onto the front panel of the card.  Finally, a few sequins were sprinkled and some baker's twine was added to finish this card off! 

 Thanks so much for stopping by The Craft's Meow blog!

Halloween Tag and Christmas Tree

Hi TCM Friends!

It's Sharri here today to share a couple projects with you. 

My first project is a Halloween tag that I made to tie on a little bag of treats for my daughter. 

The image is from Fall Fibi and Lilly and is colored with copics - YR12, YR15, YR16, YR18/V22, V25, V28/Y11, Y13/T1, T2, T3, T4, T4.

The tag was cut with a die from my stash as was the grass behind the image. 

I used metallic vintage hemp cord to tie the tag to the treat bag and attach the button. 

 Here is a close up of the colored image. I added Glitter Glaze to the stars for dimension and sparkle.

My next project is a shape card made with Christmas Blessings which one of the newly released stamp sets. 

To create the Christmas tree shape for the card base, I used the largest of the Spellbinders Pennants die. 

Next I cut several scalloped borders using gold cardstock. I also cut out several lacy eyelet borders using pattern paper and then threaded green ribbon through the openings.

I adhered the borders to the pennant then trimmed the edges using the pennant as a guide. 

The star and angel were heat embossed with gold embossing powder.

The sentiment is also from Christmas Blessings. 

I finished off the card by adding little gold pearls to embellish the tree and sentiment.

Here is a closer look at the sets I used for my projects today -
