Christmas Tags

Good Sunday Morning!

On the Dies R Us Blog again today to share some pretty little Christmas Tags with you.

It seems we've all flipped the switch and moved directly into the Holiday Season. So let's begin.

Back in August I bought this sweet little Christmas Tree by Die-Versions. It was on Close-Out, which means it was at a ridiculously low price and only in limited quantities. These are the things you should keep an eye out for at the Dies R Us Store. Super Savings to YOU!

There are so many lovely Christmas Tree dies available, it's really just a matter of preference.

SO. MANY. CHOICES.

All of my tags incorporate a Scripted Word by Sizzix.

Here are a few wordy dies in the Store you might like:

Dee's Distinctively Dies - Festive Words

Frantic Stamper - Dies - Faith Words #4

Frantic Stamper - Dies - Merry & Bright

All of my Tags were cut using the Stitched Traditional Tags by Die-Namics.

I layered 2 of the tree die cuts and scored down the middle to create a bit of dimension. I then cut Yellow card stock for the star topper. 2 Rustic Ribbons for accents.

This pretty little Tag uses the gorgeous Poinsettia die by Impression Obsession. Cut in Hot Pink, Light Pink and Vellum card stocks. Adorned with Adhesive Rhinestones, Sequins and Pink Gingham Ribbon.

This fun Tag uses the fantastic Twilight Snowflake by Memory Box.

I cut several snowflakes out of White Glitter Paper, which is easy to do, as there are 4 snowflakes in this set as well as 2 different sized star centers. I layered one using 5 of the die cuts, awesome dimension! Added a few more around and some Glittery Ribbon to complete my look.

My last Tag uses the Holly Leaf by Cheery Lynn. Look at the texture on the leaves themselves, so pretty! Berries were cut from Red Glitter Paper and then I added a fab Christmas Ribbon.

Really so much FUN to make!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Enjoy~~

Wooden Celebration Tote

Good Monday Morning!

Back again, on the Dies R Us Blog! This time I would like to share a little project with you.

I found this sweet little wooden tote at my local craft store for $1. I knew with a little Designer Paper and some wonderful dies from the Dies R Us Store I could transform it into something fabulous. I think I was right!

First I painted it all white and covered it in pretty pink and white Designer Paper, wrapped a pink pleated ribbon around the top and added white sparkling glitter to the handle......and then the FUN began. I sorted out a bunch of dies I wanted to use and started cutting.

I started with this sweet little Picket Fence by Amy Design and moved right on to the Curly Words Celebrate by Die-Versions. Let me just tell you how impressed I am with this wordy die. It's fancy and delicate and perfect for....well for ANY celebration! Here I layered a pink and white cut together so it would POP and add a bit of dimension.

Next came some beautiful flowers....now I know what you're thinking....aren't those Poinsettias??? Well yes, yes they are....BUT aren't they gorgeous??? This is the Small Poinsettia Set die from Impression Obsession. I ADORE it and think it looks just lovely as 'an everyday flower'. Plus this is for my 86 year old Mother......she'll love it.....wink, wink! I die cut several out of a deep pink and light pink card stock and some beautiful Vellum. Layered them together by size, not alternating from large to smallest. Then I added some pearls for their centers.

Next up came some of my beautiful foliage. In the 1st photo you will see the fantastic Ivy Corner Flourish by Cheery Lynn. I also used the Foliage 1 die from Paper Smooches.

And for my final selection, I created a beautiful butterfly. Butterfly #2 Set from our very own line Dies R Us Dies. This set is awesome as it has five....that's FIVE different butterflies included. I layered 3 different ones together in the deep pink and light pink card stock and topped with a Vellum one. WOW!

A perfect little garden tote. I'm not sure what I will put in it as yet, probably something chocolatey.

I will be entering this into the Challenge at Simon Says Wednesday, Flowers.

Here's what I used:
