Sorry I haven't been posting more but I am working on projects for CHA-W and they are kicking my butt! LOL My creativity doesn't seem to be flowing so well and it takes me forever to make one project. I hate that! But I did decide it was time to just make something for fun. I also didn't want to pull out a bunch of Christmas stuff, since the projects I am working on aren't Christmasy at all.
See what I mean? Totally non-traditional but I think it works! Especially if you hang this tag on a present for a girly-girl! LOL I have three of those so that's easy!
To start, I stamped the background of this tag using The Rubber Cafe' set called Steampunk. I used Basic Gray ink from Stampin' UP! Then I used some Chiffon Mix'd Media Inx to sponge around the outside. I added some ivory lace and mini pom poms (Really Reasonable Ribbon) along the bottom using some Scor-Tape. To put together the dress form, I stamped the wings from The Rubber Cafe' set Vintage Treasures onto some Silver Mirri Cardstock (that I ran thru the Xyron machine) using Jet Black Staz-on. After it dried, I fussy cut it out. I used Decorative Dress Form die and the dress form stamp from the Vintage Treasures set to make the dress form. I added the Elegant Merry Christmas stamp to complete the tag. Really if you didn't have a sentiment like this, you could print something up on the computer.
So does this inspire you to use your everyday stamps to make something for Christmas? I hope so. I know for our family, money is tight and purchasing a bunch of stamp just for one Holiday isn't really an option. So maybe this will help you be inspired to get into your stash and make something non-Traditional!! Hope you have a great day!
