AWH HOC Week 14

Hi!

 Hello, and welcome to the new Heart Of Christmas Blog Share by the Art With Heart Team. This week I was a little time poor for a few reasons, so I decided to CASE myself, using a class card kit that I had spare. As my good friend Rachel says, sometimes you need to work smarter, not harder!

I only made two small changes to the front of the card - on the original I stacked the 'merry' by cutting three in Whisper White and one in Solver foil, and then gluing them together in a stack before gluing them to my card. For today's card, I only used the Silver Foil 'merry'.

 

The second change was to use my Silvery Shimmer Delicata ink to stamp the tin stars on the card base - on my original I used Coastal Cabana to match the cardstock. 

My final change, on the inside, was also a small one. I stamped some of the small stars again in the Delicata ink underneath the red and white star.

This week the lovely Sharon Davern is hosting the Heart Of Christmas, so please pop on over to her blog, where you can find the rest of this week's links.

Bye for now,

Tina

JAI #340: Just Add Gift Tags

Hi!


Another week has flown by, and it's Friday again - where are the days going?

Of course, Friday means it's time for the new Just Add Ink challenge! This week we have been challenged to create a Gift Tag.

I went ultra simple with mine. I had a few tag kits left over from a class I ran a year or so ago, so I decided to use the 'bits' in the kit to come up with something new.

Sigh. I really miss the corrugated cardstock SU used to stock! I still have some in my stash, but only to be used for special occasions. In this case, the pieces were already cut, so I didn't feel bad using it.

I cut the small detailed star from the Starlight Thinlits, and popped it up on Dimensionals. The circle is the largest Stitched Shapes Circle die, and the merry is from Merry Greetings Thinlits. Very quick and very simple - something to keep in mind for the last minute tags you always end up needing at Christmas!

I hope you can play along with us at Just Add Ink. There's not many more weeks before we go on a short break over the Christmas/New Year period.


Bye for now,


Tina
