AnnaBelle Stamps Blog Hop

Hi Guys,

I hope your all well!

Welcome to AnnaBelle Stamps Blog Hop and if you hopped your way here from Sue's amazing blog then your heading in the right direction and weren't Sue's Tags simply AWESOME?

So today's hop is all about tags, Christmas tags!

So here's my tags:

I used my Silhouette to cut out my tags in 6 different shapes and sizes and 3 of each.  I wanted my tags to be simple as I wanted to achieve a 'Simple Distressed' look

My tags fit in my box(which I also cut out using my Silhouette)nicely with some Red and White Twine that I have wrapped around a ribbon storage card!

I have used some distress ink around all my tags and the box in Walnut Stain.

This was a nice size box to hold my tags and twine.

I finished of my box of tags by tying a gorgeous Red satin ribbon around my box!

Supplies Used:
AnnaBelle Stamps:  'Gifted Swirls', 'Christmas Wish' and 'Background By Designs 6' Stamp Sets, Red and White Twine, Red Satin Ribbon, Ribbon Storage Cards

Other:  Real Red, Always Artichoke, Antique Linen and Walnut Stain Inks, Naturals Cardstock, My Minds Eye ~ Lost and Found Christmas DP, Velcro, Silhouette Die Cutter Machine

I would of shown you a pic with a tag tied to a present but I have not started my Christmas shopping as yet, It's a tradition of mine to leave it to the last minute lol!

Just a simple set of tags but I was happy with the end results and the colours look so much better in person and the distressing doesn't show to well in the photo!

I used the newly released 'Christmas Wish' and 'Backgrounds by Designs 1' and made a Christmas card following the sketch

I used SU! card stock in Chocolate Chip, Old Olive and Cherry Cobbler(my favourite colour combo at the moment lol)my row of Sprinkles is also my favourite, Cherry lol!

I cleared embossed my 'Polka Dots' and the 'Swirl' borders from the 'Backgrounds By Designs 1' Stamp Set using Hi Gloss Clear Embossing Powder and I used the stunning decorative border from the 'Christmas Wish' Stamp Set and stamped it in old Olive ink and I stamped my sentiment 'Seasons Greetings' in Cherry Cobbler ink and I place some mini Cherry sprinkles on the top and bottom of the decorative border.

I made a pretty pastel Christmas card and used the gorgeous 'Dot and Swirl' border



I embossed the border image in some White Embossing Powder onto some Kraft card stock and randomly placed some White Sml Pearl Mix and 3mm Blossom Sprinkles onto the dots.

I tied some White Satin Ribbon around my Kraft panel and place some hanging tags using some Silver cord and my tags read 'Merry Christmas' and has also been embossed in the White Embossing Powder.
The sentiment comes from the New AnnaBelle Stamps 'Christmas Wish' stamp set and I adhered my Kraft stamped/decorated panel onto my pink card base.

and here's a little matching treat basket:



I used the same border image and embossed it in White Embossing Powder and placed some White Sml Pearl Mix and Blossom Sprinkles onto the dots to match my card.

I filled a little plastic bag with some Christmas chocolates and tied with some White Satin Ribbon and placed it into the little treat basket!

The little treat basket was super easy to make and you can find the tutorial on how to make this little treat basket HERE!

Annabelle Stamps New Release Blog Hop ~ Day 1

G'DAY Guys,

I hope your all well and had a lovely weekend and the start of your week is going great!

Welcome to day 1 of AnnaBelle Stamps New Release for November and if you 'hopped' from Andrea's AWESOME blog your hopping along the right path lol and this new set is just stunning and I do have to say it's becoming a fast favourite lol!

So let me introduce you to...'Christmas Wish'



and here's my creations I made using 'Christmas Wish'



I made this easy little tag box following the tutorial that can be found HERE at splitcoaststampers!

and here's a pic of my tags



I used the snowflake image and used Red and Green ink, punched them out with a SU! tag punch and used a little glitter on each middle snowflake on each tag, punched a hole and thread some silver cord for my hang tie.

For my second tag I used the gorgeous decorative label and once again stamped it in some Red and Green ink, punched them out using a SU! large oval punch and on the Red tag I placed some Artichoke 3mm sprinkles and on the Green tag I placed some 3mm Cherry Sprinkles and on the back of the oval tags I place two foam dimensionals to adhere to the present.

To decorate my tag box, I made a belly band and punched around the edges with a border punch and placed a strip of Red card stock in the middle and then wrapped around some White Satin Ribbon and tied in a knot and to finish off I placed a decorative hat pin through the knot.

and here's a card I made using 'Christmas Wish'



For my card I used the sentiment image and stamped it in Red ink onto my White circle and placed it onto my Green scallop circle that has been adhered onto my embossed Red panel of card stock and I have wrapped some White satin Ribbon around the Red embossed panel and tied some hemp twine around the ribbon into a bow.

I finished off my card by placing some yummy Olive Holly Leaves with Cherry sprinkles for my embellishment.

a very simple card to make and assemble and I think this is going to be the Christmas card that I will be sending out this year(don't hold me to it lol)
