More Tags and 2019 Goal Update

So far, so good...

February wasn't quite as productive as January but hey, it's a shorter month, and the January motivation has passed. I still completed all my goals except for 1 card and 1 layout. Satisfactory, I think.

March is halfway gone, and I've completed several things. First, my monthly Christmas tags:


My goal is five, and I made six. I think it's probably easiest to make an even number, because you can make to of almost the same tag at once.

All of the stamps are from Simon Says Stamp's "Christmas Cheer" set. I used Dylusions paint pens and water color pencils for the coloring.



On the trees I used Nuvo drops for the center of the stars (I just moved it around with a pointed tool) and the garlands. I hand wrote the "to" and "from" on all the cards.


For the Santas, I used Nuvo drops for his mittens, and the trim of his hat.

It's hard to see in pictures, but the beards are covered in Sparkly Fluff by Our Craft Lounge. I don't know if this is even available anymore. I bought it several years ago. The color is "sugar," and it adds sparkle and a soft texture--kind of felt-like.


The North Pole signs have Nuvo drops on the top finial. I added Ranger's Glossy Accents on all the signs.

Look at all the tags I have done for Christmas next year, and it's only March 16!

Christmas Greetings Cards

These cards are both made with CTMH's "Christmas Greetings" stamp set.  I colored the images with Copics, and on the card below, added some Stardust Glitz.  Both cards are pretty simple and self-explanatory.  You can barely see it in the pictures, but when I color images with Copic markers, I almost always outline the image in C1, Cool Grey No. 1.  I think it really makes the images pop.

Santa's List Card

Back to my quest to use at least one stamp from every one of my Christmas stamp sets.  These images are from CTMH's "Santa's List" set.  I colored them with copics and added CTMH Stardust Glitz on the star and the ground and some pink Stickles on the Christmas tree.

Christmas Card: Believe WOTG

This colorful card is made with the papers and Santa stamp from CTMH's "Believe" WOTG.  The tiny little reindeer across the top are the zip strip from one of the paper sheets (that small strip you have to cut off that doesn't match the rest of the paper).  The sentiment is from the stamp set "Holiday Wishes."  I colored Santa with copic markers.  Outlining the white areas in the lightest of grays you have (C1 Cool Gray No. 1 for me) makes the white areas pop.

Believe Santa Card

The cute papers used here are from CTMH's Believe set, and the Santa is from the Believe Workshop on the Go exclusive stamp set.  I colored the Santa with copics outlined him in a very light grey to give him a little depth.  The Santa inset is raised with dimensional adhesive under the green mat.  The only embellishments are  the button and baker's twine.

Cardstock Christmas Tags

Three simple Christmas tags that came together very quickly.  All are composed of cs only, no B&T.  The tree and snowman have baker's twine, and the snowman has a couple black CTMH opaques for eyes.
