I had so much fun making the easel cards I shared with you yesterday. Today I have three more projects to show you – two cards and a gift bag/box.
These projects all started after I made the four Christmas gift tags designed for the Love Santa Tag Kit. I wanted to create alternative projects to show you what is possible.
The last card I shared yesterday was an easel card with Santa and a pile of gifts. I commented that I had trimmed the gift boxes from the top of the taxi tag. This is how I used the remaining taxi. The yellow taxis remind me of New York.
This Night of Navy gatefold card is a great background for the Christmas tree carrying yello taxi.
The tree has been fussy cut from a piece of Gingerbread & Peppermint 6″x 6″ Designer Series Paper. I placed the tree on top of the taxi then added the stamped panels and red strip.
The scalloped rectangles are cut using two of the Stitched So Sweetly Dies. These elements were layered together and attached the left half od the card front. TIP: If you use your bone folder and burnish the left hand fold very firmly that side will sit flat.
The gift box image was stamped on the card insert and envelope.
I thought the Red Rhinestone Basic Jewels was the perfect way to finish this card.
For this card I took a Basic White card base and teamed it with a panel of Polished Pink paper from the Whimsy &Wonder 12″x 12″ Specialty Designer Series Paper. Before attaching it to the card base I wrapped a length of the Basic White and Polished Pink Baker’s Twine around the DSP and tied a bow.
By adding Stampin’ Dimensionals I was able to lift the Christmas tree up adding height to the card.
The greeting is from the Tidings & Trimmings Stamp Set and was stamped using Polished Pink ink. I trimmed the stamped greeting down to this small rectangle.
A second greeting was stamped on the inside of the card and a gift box stamped on the envelope.
What is the last thing I usually comment on? You guessed it – I added some embellishments to the card to finish it off. These gems are supplied in the Love, Santa Tag Kit.
For this 3D project I used the last two tag shapes.
I created the Bumblebee box base to attach the two tag to each of the 3″ sides.
On this side I attached one of branches from the kit.
I stamped the greeting using the Love, Santa Stamp Set using the Night of Navy ink spot that is supplied in the kit, as well as Poppy Parade from my own Classic Stampin’ Pad collection. It was cut out using one the Tailor Made Tags Dies and tied it to gift box using a length of Bumble Gingham Ribbon.
With one Santa remaining it seemed a perfect way to finish off this Christmas gift box.
Another product that is available with the Tag Kit are the Love, Santa Treat Bags. There are four designs in this collection of food safe treat bags. I chose the one with the leaves that match this kit. When the bag is filled with Christmas treats it can also be tied using the same Bumblebee ribbon.
One tag kit – so many possibilities – tags, cards, gift bags/boxes and even scrapbooking is possible. You are only limited by your imagination.
Until next time, happy stamping.
