Creative Craftaholic

I everyone I am back with the Let's Get Hopping crew for the 'Anything But A Card' theme. If you have joined me from Tanya Rees blog I am sure you have seen an amazing creation. I can't wait to check it out myself. As I imagine with the mini catalogue underway a lot of us have started thinking about Christmas and I for one have even started singing carols. Especially after seeing the gorgeous stamp sets 'For Unto Us' pg. 41 and 'Holly Jolly Wishes' pg.29. I can't help but singing away reading those sentiments. Lately I have found myself making up gift boxes and filling them up with goodies that I know the person will just love. So with that in mind my project this month is a nail polish gift box with a matching nail file holder. From the Mini Catalogue July - December 2021 I have use the Whimsy & Wonder 12"x12" Specialty Designer Series Paper pg.25 along with the Sweet Little Stockings, Stocking Dies pg.31 and the Glittered Organdy Ribb

 

 

SWEET LITTLE STOCKINGS I had some time this morning to do some crafting, before I had to brave it, out in the big wide world, after weeks of lockdown. I decided in order to get the true feeling of this bundle I would stamp and cut all of the stamps within the set. The first up was the candy cane. As soon as I stamped this on a piece of Very Vanilla I wondered to myself what this would look like stamped on Cherry Cobbler or what if I embossed it in white! Next minute I had cut down a card base (Trying out a new size) stamped and embossed the card front and fell in love with this card. I am still yet to stamp and cut all of the images lol Supplies Used:

I love the new stamp set Sweet Little Stockings. The images are so cute and easy to add colour to and the sentiments are great and are a good size.  I love that these tags can be used for a range of occasions they do not just have to be for Christmas. I have used Cherry Cobbler as my base colour along with Very Vanilla for the insert and stamped images. The colouring has been done with Blends using light and dark of the following: Crumb Cake, Balmy Blue, Daffodil Delight and Old Olive. I have CASED these tags from Melanie Joyner.
