Christmas Tags 2020

 

 

 Hello sweet creative friends,

It has been a long while since I made a blog post.....mainly using Instagram these days.  

Tonight I thought I would post just a few of my 2020 Christmas makes.  It is always fun to be inspired to create Christmas crafts this time of year....so here are just a few of my many projects so far.... 

 

Cozy Gingerbread Tags:  Sissix Die 658158 Gingerbread #2 

Mini book tags or ornaments for the Christmas tree:

These use vintage images from Pinterest....

 

I love this sweet image of the baby Jesus with a bird and lamb....

 Some Penny Black Stamp inspiration:

 

 

 

 

Some Gingerbread stamps from CC Designs that are retired I believe....

 

 

 

A sweet Gingerbread man and mason jar from Digital Printables at Iralamija Shop on Etsy

 

 

I love this Halloween Mason Jar printable.  It has this text background mason jar that you can use for so many different projects!  I have a discount code you can use during the month of November 2020 for 15% off with no minimum purchase required.  Use code "Jill20" through November 30th!

These snowflake tags use a wonderful snowflake tag die from Simon Says Stamp and images from Polkadoodles...

This gorgeous deer die is from Fun Stampers Journey:

That is all for tonight.  Hope you have fun getting into the Christmas spirit!

Spring is Sprung!!!! SSCB#28 - Sheet Music or Newsprint

 
Hello Friends,
Are we all ready to be able to say those words - "Spring has Sprung!"  I am!  But they are predicting some snow in Seattle this weekend again so we may not be quite there yet.  But as it is March 1st today we can at least begin looking forward to it for sure!!!!  We actually had a wee bit of sun on a couple of days this week which was very welcome!  Here in Seattle the chances to soak up some vitamin D in the winter can be few and far between.  It always brings a smile when the sun shines down!

I am here with a card for the Serendipity Stamps Challenge Blog.  This month's challenge is to use either sheet music or newsprint on your card.  I used a lovely digital paper with some newsprint on it from Iralamija Shop on ETSY and started creating.  I chose to make this sweet new bunny die from Serendipity Stamps the focal point of my card along with their lovely "Spring is Sprung" sentiment!  So perfect as we get ready for spring! 

Thanks for taking a look at my card!  Happy Weekend everyone! 
:) Jill

Get Well Soon my dear friend....

Hello all,
I am here with a quick post.  I needed a card for my dear friend who is having surgery today.  I met her during my husband's physical therapy sessions during his battle with brain cancer. She is a dear friend and sweet woman and we became friends when she saw me reading a "CARDS" magazine while waiting for my husband at the PT's office one day.  We both love to craft (she is an S.U. demonstrator) and we hit it off right away as you can imagine.

Here is the card I made for her this weekend:

I was inspired by this post from Kristi Lockart Designs:  HERE.  She created this card when she was a guest designer for the Festive Friday Challenge - Candy Cane Theme.

The paper I chose to use is a new digital set called "Shabby Wood Backgrounds" from Iralamija Shop on ETSY.  It was designed by Beatriz Jennings and it is my current FAVORITE digital paper pack!!!!  So fun!

I send tons of "Get Well" wishes and prayers to my dear friend Kara and a big thank you to Kristi and Beatriz for their inspiration and products that I used in making this card!  Don't you just LOVE snow people!!!!  They are so fun to make and always bring a smile to my face.  How about you - are you smiling?  I hope so!
Bye for now!
Jill
