Santa and Mrs. Claus Mug Gift Tags

Did you snag the Holly Jolly Christmas stamp set from Scrapbook.com when it was free during Black Friday week? It's so cute and I thought I would make some Christmas tags with it. I plan on pairing one of those tags with a gift card to my son's favorite local coffee shop. It's currently sold out on the Scrapbookcom website but they'll be getting more soon and you can follow my link and click to be notified when it's back in stock.

Scroll down for brief, creative details. I'll have my shopping supply list at the end of this post, if you'd like to get more product details or wish to shop.

These tags are pretty easy to create. I used my Scrapbookcom Tag Nesting Dies with designer paper from the Merry paper pad. Although there are coordinating dies for this set, I chose to quickly fussy cut my stamped images.

I also ran some adhesive tape across the bottom portion of my tag, and covered it with Wow Cotton Candy glitter. 

I grabbed one of my blending brushes that was still kind of inky with Catherine Pooler Deck the Halls ink, and edged the top part of my tags. I also took my Ranger Ink Vintage Photo Distress Oxide ink pad and swiped it along the top edges.

 

To color my images, I used my OLO Markers. I popped up my stamped images with adhesive foam strips, then tied some string and hot glued a button to my tag. Easy Peasy!

Thanks so much for popping in today. Oh, and there's a coupon code you can use this week thru Friday at Scrapbookcom. Use code SANTA at checkout for added savings. You can also get the details here on any freebies available with your purchase. Have a great week!

I'd love for you to hop over to my Instagram and leave a little love. Stop by the Scrapbookcom Instagram page too!. The Parade goes live at 11:00 am ET today, Nov. 29th.

 Scrapbook.com kindly sent me some of the products that I'm creating with today. When I saw the Christmas Trees stamp set, I immediately had an idea to create a little scene with a sloped, snowy hillside and frozen pond.

I was going to make a mini-slimline card but decided to go a little larger for more open white space. This card and card panel measures 6x4 inches.

I trimmed my white card panel with my ergonomic scissors from Scrapbook.com, going in a sloped design from right to left. These scissors are so comfy and easy to use. I deal with arthritis in my hands in colder weather and I really appreciate the ease of use.

For the top section of my trimmed card panel, I did some ink blending with Catherine Pooler ink called, On The Lake. This section was adhered directly onto the top of my white card.

For my "frozen pond" I trimmed the silver holographic paper from the Holographic paper pad in a more wavy pattern. This was adhered directly onto the bottom of my trimmed snowy slope.

I applied adhesive foam tape to this section and set it aside.

 Did you know Wow Embossing has bottled embossing mixed media liquid that you can brush on? I had no idea! It's amazing stuff. For my Christmas Trees, I swiped my Catherine Pooler Ink in Sea Breeze across my white Neenah cardstock.

Next, I brushed the embossing mixed media liquid onto the Scribbly tree stamp that was mounted on my Misti stamp positioner, and stamped directly onto my ink swiped cardstock. I sprinkled on Wow's Verdant embossing powder which is a mix of green and gold powders, and heat embossed four stamped trees. The combination of green and gold is stunning!

Keep in mind, this liquid lends itself to a mixed media look. If you want more precise embossing, you may wish to use a clear embossing ink pad. 

Although I had the accompanying dies for the trees, I decided to fussy cut them with my ergonomic scissors since I didn't want an outline for my trees.

I used the same Verdant embossing powder for my "Wishes" heat embossed sentiment, but this time I used my clear embossing ink pad for more precision when stamping.

For my stamped bows and the "Christmas" sentiment, I stamped again with the emboss ink pad, then heat embossed with the Wow super fine Polished Gold embossing powder. It left such a smooth finish!

Both sentiments are from the Christmas Expressions stamp set.

I also embossed some gold "ornaments" for my tree. I used the small circle die included with the Christmas Trees die set, cut with my Platinum 6 and Magic Mat. I dabbed on some of the embossing liquid and heat embossed with more of the Wow Polished Gold embossing powder. This is when my fine tip ergonomic reverse tweezers came in handy.

To adhere my ornaments and bows (also stamped, die cut and gold embossed) to the trees, I used my exclusive Scrapbook.com brand Artis Glue. This stuff is amazing and comes with different sized tips and a pin to keep clogging at bay.

Two of my trees are adhered directly to my card, and the other two are popped up on adhesive foam, and placed near the top section of my sloped snowy hillside that was adhered to the lower section of my card..

I'm so happy you stopped in today. If you'd like more details or pricing on any of the products that I created with today, just click my affiliate links below.

I hope you have a great day!

Terri
