CAS Christmas Tags

Clare here today with some quick and easy CAS Christmas tags using Rustic Greetings and Christmas Lantern stamp sets.

Using some smooth Core Tags from Core'dinations I stamped the deer's head from Rustic Greetings using Memento Luxe Morocco ink, then I stamped a selection of sentiments from Christmas Lantern using the same color. The edges I inked with Distress Inks Antique Linen and Scattered Straw.

These tags would look fabulous with simple brown paper wrapped gifts, I love that rustic look. Here are the stamp sets I used on my tags. Thanks for visiting us today!

Combining sentiments

Hi! Clare here today with a couple of cards to share, focusing on combining sentiments from different stamp sets. I used sentiments from the awesome new Circle It stamp set and Vintage Clocks, the flower stamps are from Happiness Is.

Combining sentiments from different stamp sets allows you to personalize your card a little more and you can create something new using your existing stamp sets. For the flowers which are from Happiness Is I stamped them onto some patterned paper and added some shading using Distress Markers.

I love the sentiments from the new Circle It stamp set, they go well with pretty much everything. When combining stamp sets you can try different colors for each sentiment for a different look.

The sentiments from the new Circle It stamp set really lend themselves well to the fussy cutting technique, pop them on some foam pads and you can really make a feature out of them.

I also did a little fussy cutting using the clocks from Vintage Clocks. I hope you have fun looking for interesting sentiment combinations in your stamp collection! Here are the stamp sets I used on my cards. Thanks for dropping by today! : )

Happy Birthday

Hi, Clare here with a card for you today using the gorgeous Happiness Is and Sew Happy stamp sets. 

The pretty flower from Happiness Is I stamped onto some white cardstock stained with some vibrant Picked Raspberry Distress Stain, then I added some subtle shading using Distress Markers (Barn Door, Worn Lipstick and Spun Sugar). The leaves I stamped onto cardstock stained with Peeled Paint Distress Stain and shaded with Shabby Shutters Distress Marker.

The fabulous stitched sentiment is from Sew Happy. Here are the lovely sets I used. Have a great day!
