Winterberries tag

Hello!  Diana here today wishing you a very Merry Christmas.  I hope you have all your gifts wrapped and ready, that you arrive at your destination safely, or if you're hosting - you're done cleaning and prepping so that you can enjoy Christmas with family and friends.  One last tag to share with you today - it would work well as a Christmas tag (if you're in need of one in these last moments) or you can stick in on a card and send it anytime during the winter.

The tag has lots of pretty details but it didn't take long to put together.  I used a My Favorite Things cross-stitch die for the base of the tag, a circle punch and the stitched circle from My Favorite Things Blueprints 13 for the tag element where I could attach the ribbons.  I sponged all of it along the edges with Broken China and then stenciled some snowflakes using  Memory Box Winter Tiny Snowflakes Stencil,  Dreamweaver's white embossing paste, and a palette knife. It's hard to see in the photograph but it adds some lovely and subtle texture.

While the paste was drying, I die cut the new PoppyStamps Holiday Winterberries out of watercolor paper and colored it with watercolor brush pens. I then it adhered it to the tag with Art Institute glue, added some ribbon, and I was done!

Merry Christmas!

And a very Merry Christmas from all of us at Classy Cards 'n Such!!!

Thanks for stopping by!!!  Until next time...

Frosty Tree

Hi, Diane with you today!  We had our first big snowfall last week and the trees were covered with fresh fallen snow.  We also had a couple of deer visit, almost to the front door.  A very inspiring scene to create with, so that is what I did!

I used a gorgeous Starburst Lichen Aspire Petallic Metalic paper for my background.  I cut a Memory Box Medium Forest Archway from Luminized Curious Metallic paper.

Next is the gorgeous snow covered and glittery tree.  I cut Memory Box Frosted Christmas Tree from Pearlized Esse White Metallic paper.  I left the tree in the die, then coated it very heavily with Dreamweavers Regular Embossing Paste.  I used my Palette Knife to swirl the paste around a bit, then carefully took the die cut out, being careful not to touch the paste.  I then sprinkled Crystal Ice Glitter on and once dry, attached Baby Rhinestones - Turquoise.

Just make sure to quickly wash out your die and spatula when done.  You will find the paste dries very quickly.

I cut the deer using Impression Obsession Small Deer
from Champaign Neenah Pearlized Metallic paper.
I also cut the deer from a black craft foam to add height
and a bit of shadow behind them.

I hope you will give this card a try as it is very quick
to put together but looks beautiful when done.

Thank you for visiting with me today!
