Washi Christmas

You know all that Washi tape you have been hoarding in a drawer?  Get it all out and try this - it is an easy card to do using coordinating Washi tape.  

• I chose tapes with red or gold designs or glitter.  
• The red & gold tape was layered alternately on a piece of green scrap CS.  
• Three trees were cut from that CS using the Stampin' Up "In the Woods" framelet Die set.  
• The set comes with the 2nd die to cut a mat that frames the tree - I cut three frames out of white CS.  
• White scraps were used to create the snowy forest floor & the glittered scraps were cut to add a little more decoration to the trees.   
• Finally, the trees were layered &/or elevated on the base CS using foam tape. 

I created this for the new 613 Ave C  challenge starting Dec 2:  "ATG/ optional Twist: "Use Washi Tape"  You have the month of December to show your creative talents!   For details of the challenge and for some very creative ideas from the DT's incredible inspiration concepts -  click HERE!

Let the Bells Ring...

613 Ave C has a new challenge... "ATG: optional Winter/Holidays".  You have the month of December to show your creative talents!  For details of the challenge and for some very creative ideas - check out the DT inspiration concepts HERE!


















This image and the sentiment are both from AI, Art Impressions [Bells Ring Set #4682],  it comes with the three unmounted rubber stamps, a die cut and one Action Wobble. 

• Used a Sizzix embossing folder for the cover 
• Colored the image with Copics and used white gel pen to add dots on the scarf & gloves  
• Die cut out the extra 'bootie' to mount on the Action Wobble spring
• Gold Wink of Stella used on the bells for sparkle
• A 1/8th inch hole was punched to insert the ribbon on the left front panel - it was brought around the edge and tied in a bow
• Used SU! punches for the sentiment and it's mat - this was layered over the ribbon hole to hide it

As you can see the you can shake his rear and make the bells 'ring'!  Amuses me - LOL!  If I can find really tiny bells I would love to glue them on.

• Inside has been embossed with a Cuttlebug E-folder that leaves a space for a personalized message 
• The sentiment from a 1994 Annette Allen Watkins rubber stamp has been die cut and elevated on foam tape
