Hello! Today I was working on some package tags for gift bags, and I decided to try out the St. Nick Bundle from Concord and 9th. Shop here: Die/Stencil Set , Sentiment Stamp This is such a great size, that I can easily make either a gift tag or a card with a nice, large focal point. I just love this jolly guy! He certainly brightens up any gift or card you’re giving. To make this tag: I first cut a sturdy piece of 120# cardstock. I coated the surface with anti-static powder, then heavily pressed the Versamark Ink through the stencils. I heat set with Recollections Red embossing powder, and Ranger Snowflake Tinsel. I used a marker to color in the ears, face and nose, and the eyes were accented with black half round beads. The sentiment “Ho, Ho, Ho” was stamped in Versafine Onyx Black Ink, and added off center of the beard. The tag was attached with a standard size hole punch. I was able to easily feed one...
I’m glad you stopped by! I have always enjoyed art, and was introduced to card making about 12 years ago. From there, the ability to create a variety of styles provides a therapeutic outlet to each day. You will find several card challenges, and themes which might inspire you to try something new. Enjoy!
