Christmas in July with D2BA

Hello Stamping Friends!!

Time for a new Challenge on the Dare 2B Artzy Blog!!

This month's theme is Christmas in July!!

Before you know it, it'll be that time of year again!!

I created this fun shaker with this month's theme in mind:

I used beautiful papers from the Snow Much Fun collection!!  I die cut the bear from a piece of Grizzly Brrrz Paper using the Skisons Greetings Die!!  So awesome to be able to do that!!

The 'Let It Snow' sentiment is part of the Penguin Fun stamp set!

Have a beautiful day! 

YNS November Feature Day

Hello Stamping Friends!

It's Feature Day at Your Next Stamp!!

Feature Day Theme Is....
Tags

What a great feature day theme!  I was so excited to see this theme, why you ask?!?

Well every year I tell myself I am not going to buy tags for my Christmas gifts and am going to hand make them! Well I get short on time with all the Christmas hustle and it never happens!

So this feature day theme really helped me this year!!  I may actually be able to make that goal this year!!

Here are a few of the tags I created:

Aren't they cute?!

I knew I wanted to do something kind of quick so that I could make a bunch of them and not take hours!  So instead of coloring all the images in, I stamped the images with an ink color!  I just love all the new inks from YNS!!!

These are all the colors I used:

Black Olive Ink

Blueberry Breeze Ink

Holly Berry Red Ink

Mocha Ink

Olive Green Ink

Purple Passion Ink

Totally Teal Ink

They are truly beautiful!!

I used the amazing Cool Tag Three Die Set to create each of the tags!

I then used these stamp sets to create the tags:

Cozy Christmas Jessica

Holiday Buddies

Holiday Hello

Hot Cocoa Phoebe

Mini Letters and Numbers

Snow Much Fun Snowman

Snow Wonderful

Winter Wonderland Phoebe

Each one of these sets is so fun!!  I love them all!!

I especially liked having the Mini Letters and Numbers stamp set so that I could add the "To" and "From" to the tags.  For the tags that I didn't have enough room to add the "From" to the front, I added it to the back:

I used a black marker to add the two dots at the end of the stamped "To" and "From".

And as always, I finished off my creations by adding some yummy Gumdrops and lovely Divine Twine!!
