Welcome to Day 1 of my last minute Handmade Holiday 2020 Series!
I'm back with my seventh year of last minute handmade ideas! (Last year was rough emotionally and I actually only got one video up but I'm still going to count it.)
Thank you so much for your support of this series. I appreciate each and every one of you and y'all make this possible. Much love to everyone.
The goal of this series is adding handmade touches to gifts for our friends and family. Even with the craziness of the season I like to be able to personalize the gifts under our tree. Over the next few days I'll be sharing ideas for cards, tags and gift wrapping sure to add that handmade touch we all love. Most ideas will include multiples (today I created 12 gnome shaped gift tags)!
Each Handmade Holiday project blog post will feature a brand new, never before seen project(s) plus an incredible giveaway from.... me!

With all the gnome projects I've shared lately, I had asked on one of my YouTube videos if you wanted to see gnome-shaped gift tags and that was an overwhelming "yes"! We will be creating shaped tags with all four gnomes from Simon Says Stamp: Gnome (the original), Lil Gnome, She Gnome, and Deco Hat Gnome (please note I opted to use the plain hat version instead of the deco hat for this gnome).

Hello friends! I can't believe it's the last day of November. Where has the time gone? With it quickly approaching the holidays, I have a trio of quick interactive cards to share with you. Quick and interactive don't normally go together however my secret weapon is stickers! That's right, stickers. I know what you're thinking, but will it be cute? And the answer is YES! Doodlebug makes some adorable stickers that are similar to some of our favorite stamped images and make darling embellishments for all kinds of paper crafted goodness. By eliminating stamping, coloring, and diecutting/fussy cutting, you will save so much time and the end result is so fun! Let's get started!

Happy Friday! I am so glad you're here! Today I have a slimline Christmas foliage card to share with you featuring components from the Simon Says Stamp December Card Kit, Joyful Season. The slimline style allows for plenty of room for all the elements on this elegant holiday design.

Greetings from the Simon Says Stamp Joyful Season Stamp Set were stamped along the bottom edge of the patterned paper rectangle die cut with clear embossing ink and heat embossed with Antique Gold Embossing Powder. The panel was secured to a white slimline card base. The white scallop frames were adhered one on top of another around the patterned paper.
The new Simon Says Stamp Candy Cane Heart Die was die cut from the Lipstick Red Cardstock and smooth white cardstock from the kit and Lawn Fawn Gold Metallic Cardstock. The red cardstock was shaded with Copic markers in R46 and R59. The white outline was adhered over the top and the gold "hangers" adhered to the candy cane before the entire thing was secured the card base.
A scattering of gold matte gold stars were added to the background to finish the card.

Happy Tuesday! You're in for a treat today with a surprise from Simon Says Stamp with the Gnome Peeking Holiday Gift Card Kit! The kit includes all kinds of fabulous products to make gift card holders, cards, tags, etc. Today I am sharing this slimline gnome scene card featuring the Gnome Peeking Stamp Set included with the kit (or available for individual purchase). I did a little creative masking for a mostly one layer design. The video tutorial shares tips and tricks for creating scene cards, masking and adding finishing details as well as advice on how to fix problematic "mistakes". Let's get started!

One of the greetings from the stamp set was stamped directly on the background with clear embossing ink and heat embossed with Antique Gold Embossing Powder. Another phrase was stamped on the Schoolhouse Red Cardstock included in the kit and heat embossed with White Embossing Powder. That phrase was die cut with a Sentiment Labels Die and adhered to the background with foam adhesive as shown.
Nuvo Crystal Drops in Honey Gold were added to the center of some snowflakes. Nuvo Crystal Drops in White Blizzard was added to any "snow" and Glossy Accents was added to the tires.

Happy Friday, friends! Welcome to the Pinkfresh Studio November 2020 Essentials Die Release Blog Hop! I am so glad you're here.
Today I am sharing a trio of cards created with new dies from the release as well as some favorite previously released stamps and dies. I am using the Slim Stripes Essentials Dies, Nested Chevron Essentials Die, and Diagonal Stitched Circles Dies. I love good basics that can be used for many different themes and occasions! Need birthday, thank you, or sympathy cards instead? No problem! Switch the colors of paper used with the dies for completely different looks! I'm also showcasing how you can take basic florals and turn them into Christmas florals. None of the stamps today are "Christmas" but each card gives that holiday vibe! Let's get started!

I feel like the background is just important as the images used for a scene card. For this Christmas Barn scene, I die cut the Mama Elephant Slim Woodland from smooth white cardstock and colored in the trees with Copic Markers in E40, E43, and E44.
The background is a separate piece of cardstock inked with Distress Inks in Chipped Sapphire and Mermaid Lagoon (my favorite color combo for winter night skies). When dry, sentiments from the Simon Says Stamp Santa's Sleigh Ride Slider were stamped with clear embossing ink and heat embossed with white embossing powder.
