Last Minute Gift Tags

Here we are on Christmas Eve and I've got some last minute gift tags, for Paper House Productions.

I'm one of those who refuses to go out and buy gift tags, when I can easily make them quickly myself.  Besides, handmade is more special, right?  Today, I'm using scrapbook papers from the Christmas Joy Craft Set, along with other Paper House holiday elements.  Scroll down for more.

I'll be honest.  These tags happened, quite by accident.  I chose the red/white striped paper included in the kit.  It's double side and features some really gorgeous cut out images on the flip side.  Well, when I die cut my red/white paper with my nesting tag dies and flipped it over, look what happened..... practically perfect tags that were better than I could have dreamed!

There's the little edged, sectioned circles that were perfect for adding a stamped "to" and "from".  Next, add some gold foiled accents from the Christmas Magic Cardstock Stickers included in the kit.  

Layer your gold accented cardstock stickers with a strip of Christmas Joy Washi Tape to finish off your tag.

I hope this inspires you to find unique ways to use your Paper House Productions Christmas scrapbook paper!  You'll find a full list of products and clickable shopping links below.  Thanks for popping in and have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Coastal Cuties Card for The Hedgehog Hollow

This is my 2nd card today, this one featuring the July card kit from The Hedgehog Hollow. 

(Go here for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L card).

Included in the July kit are several exclusive products from Sunny Studio Stamps.  I have to say, I LOVE this kit!  The theme is Rainbow and it truly shows with all the gorgeous papers included in this kit; 24 double sided papers!  If you missed my un-boxing video and would like to see all the contents, view my short video, here.

If you're a member of the exclusive Hedgehog Hollow Facebook group for kit subscription members, then you saw my sneak peak of the boy stamp.  This set actually comes with two girls!  I masked one of the girl stamps to create a boy image.  How fun is that?  Having the ability to do this just adds more versatility to this stamp set.  Scroll down and I'll show you how this was done.

(FTC Disclosure: as an affiliate for various companies in the craft industry, I will receive a small commission for purchases made through my convenient affiliate links.  This does not affect your purchase price.)

The boy image below, is a partial stamped image, taken from the girl stamp in the same photo.  Look closely and you'll see the similarities.

If you're not familiar with masking, it's simply a technique where you use tape such as painter's tape or washi tape and mask the part of the stamp that you don't want inked/stamped.

Before you begin, I always recommend conditioning your clear stamps.  It helps your ink to adhere better to the paper, with less flawed stamping.  Just place your stamp on an acrylic block and rub over your arm or the back of your hand a few times.  The oils from your skin help the process.  Seriously!  Ok, moving on....

In the first photo, I placed small strips of washi tape over the lower portion of hair and the frilly part of the girl's swimsuit.  Once you've got your masking tape in place, ink your stamp.

Now, in the first photo below, you can see how the ink should look on the stamp, after removing the washi tape.  If you feel that you have some stray marks that should be removed, just grab a cotton ball tip and gently swipe. 

In the second photo, you can see how my image looks stamped on white cardstock.  Actually, this is Strathmore Mixed Media vellum surface paper which is my preference for coloring.  If you use a stamp positioner, which allows re-inking, for a crisper stamped image, you will need to re-apply the washi tape between inkings.  If you only use an acrylic block, you may need to touch up a spot or two, with an ultra-fine or fine tipped black marker after stamping.  

Also in the second photo, you can see where I drew in a line to create swim trunks and added a belly button.  Cute, right?

If you like to color with markers or do no-line coloring, you could also just directly color the specific areas of your stamp with a marker, and then impress onto your paper.  However, I prefer hybrid inks or dye ink.  Just letting you know, there are other ways to achieve this.

In addition to these super cute colored images, I also used the ric-rac dies included in the kit to create layers of waves.  I love how it turned out!

Just so you know, the June card kit sold out super fast so if you are thinking about becoming a subscription member, don't wait too long.  This one will very likely sell out quickly as well.  Don't come crying to me later because I will say....you guessed it....told you so.  LOL!

So there you have it.  So many great products in this kit and I love that I'll be able to use these stamps and dies over and over.  Thank you so much to Mendi over at Sunny Studio Stamps for contributing so many wonderful products in this month's kit!  I, for one, am so appreciative and I know the Hedgehog Hollow subscription members are too.
