Embossing onto Vellum Christmas Tag Video Tutorial

 Hello DT Vic here today and I am sharing a fun Christmas video tutorial. I have made some Christmas tags that are really fun to make and will give your gifts an extra bit of sparkle. 

I made three Christmas tags today and I show you in the video how to emboss onto vellum. I really love how effective this is and it adds a touch of glam to your crafts. I used the Memory Keeping Essential Dies to make my tags. I love the size of these tags and I think they are great to use a gift tag. For my images I used the Skating By Penguins Clear Stamp Set. I also used the Santa Paws Clear Stamp Set for some of my greetings. Another stamp which was super fun to use was the Squiggly Giggly A7 clear Stamp Set. I loved how this turned out on my tag. For the snowflakes I used the dies from the Falalala Scalloped Slimline Die. 

The copic markers I used to colour the critters are: 

BV23, BV25, E40, R81, R83, BG11, BG32, YR21, R20

I added some ribbon to the top of my tags once my images were adhered down. To finish the tags off I then added the die cut snowflakes and some sequins. You will also see in the video that I chopped off the end of a stamp for my greeting. This is because I wanted the greeting Love From Santa, but if I wanted to use the whole greeting its easy to line the stamps up on my acrylic block. You can also mask off the end of the stamp if you didn't want to cut your stamp. 

I hope you enjoy the video today and give embossing onto vellum a try if you haven't already tried it. Don't forget to show us your crafts we love seeing them.

Buzzing For You and Thinking of You Lily

Hi DT Sharon here today. I hope you all enjoyed the new releases that were revealed and all the inspiration the T4T DT have been sharing? I loved them all so much I made so many projects , the ideas just kept on coming!
So today I have 2 projects to show you, the first is a shadow box card.

I've used the Box clever die set  for the base. I blended some distress oxide inks over it to get the colour. I then stamped the hexagons from the Buzzing for you stamp set randomly over it. For the inside of the box I used the Scene it stencil to make the background clouds and grass. The sun and clouds dies are also included in the box clever set. I used the hearts die from several of the new releases to make the flowers. Then the bees were stamped, coloured and die cut and I attached them to the box using acetate. I wanted to make them look like they were floating in the air. Lastly I just added the sentiments.

For my second project I have used the Thinking of you Lily stamp and die set. I've used the set in 3 different ways.

For my first card I stencilled the white card with the Scattered Triangles stencil. I then stamped three lillies onto vellum with clear embossing ink and embossed them with white fine embossing powder. I coloured the lillies from the back using alcohol pens. 

For the purple card I stamped the lillies onto the white card with a purple ink randomly. I stamped a further lily using black and ink and coloured it with alcohol pens. I then placed it over a lily with 3D foam pads. The green dotty strip is using the Washi Strips stamp set with a green ink and then fussy cutting it out. 

For my last card I have just used gold embossing powder on cream linen card and navy card. I've also used the Squiggly Giggly stamp set to make the background and the Scalloped Frame die set which incidently has 35% off at the moment!

I hope I've inspired you today and you enjoy all the new releases. I have a code too to get 10% off across the store, just use the code  T4TSHARON10

Happy crafting and stay safe!
