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).

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 Monday and welcome to the November 2020 My Monthly Hero Blog Hop!
Today I'm sharing four woodland winter scene cards created with add ons from the November 2020 My Monthly Hero Release. I'm using eight brand new products from the release for these soft and pretty winter scene cards and sharing lots of tips and tricks throughout the video below. Let's get started!

If you love the Heroscape Collection of stamps/dies from Hero Arts, you're going to love the latest Winter Woods Heroscape Stamp Set and coordinating dies! The Rolling Hills Window is a great way to draw your eye into a scene or create a fun shaker, the Etched Winter Scene Bold Print is a fantastic wintery background on it's own or paired with other stamps and dies, the Love You Deerly images are some of the sweetest little deer ever, and the Woodland Forest Stencil is a great alternative to stamping or die cutting for background scene building!
The trees from the Winter Woods Heroscape Stamp Set were stamped on smooth white cardstock with Simon Says Stamp Beanstalk Green, Evergreen, and Midnight Green. The trees were die cut with the coordinating dies. The trees were trimmed down and adhered to the background to peek through the window.
The images were die cut with the coordinating Love You Deerly Dies. The greenery was adhered directly to the card and the deer were adhered with foam adhesive.
Nuvo Crystal Drops in White Blizzard and a scattering of star confetti were added to the sky.

Happy Wednesday, friends! I'm back with a couple of interactive snow-themed Mega Flipper cards featuring lots of Mama Elephant stamps and dies. One of the requested videos from YouTube is more Mega Flipper cards so today I thought I'd share two holiday themed mega flippers that feature the brand new Dashin' Through the Snow Stamps/Dies, Snow Much Fun Stamps/Dies, and Flurry Frame Dies as well as a bunch of previously released product to finish out the cards. These fun designs are a great way to hide a sentiment (like I'm sharing today) or to even hide a gift card.

Four scalloped panels from the Mega Flipper set were die cut from smooth white cardstock. The scallop edges from the scallop to stitching were masked off and the panels were stamped with the snowflake background as well. I love a light colored ink for this this as it instantly adds interest without overwhelming the sweet images.
The Flurry Frame Dies was die cut from smooth white cardstock and the snowflake edge was ink blended with Distress Inks in Spun Sugar, Picked Raspberry, Festive Berries, Spiced Marmalade, Squeezed Lemonade, Twisted Citron, Mowed Lawn, Cracked Pistachio, Peacock Feathers, Salty Ocean, Shaded Lilac, and Wilted Violet. I love the bright, happy snowflake border.
The pull tab from the Mega Flipper was die cut from Simon Says Stamp Fog and Lipstick Red Cardstock. The die cut pieces were adhered along the bottom edge of the Mega Flipper.
