2022 Tags - #3

Keeping it super simple on this one....  Print 2 cut simple!  Back with an additional layer for a bit more sturdiness.  

The image is from a fun Christmas Collection Creative Fabrica, The images included were created and meant to be used for sublimation purposes.  Don't let the word "sublimation" turn you away from using these or similar images for other things if you don't have a sublimation printer or access to one. 

This project was cut using the Skycut C24 and set up for the print 2 cut process using SCAL 5 Pro.  Cutting using the Skycut and SCAL software is always spot on - never off. 

Add a little "shimmer" to the highlights on the image and you're done!  Add a ribbon or some twine for hanging.

2022 Holiday Tag Reveal - Tag 2

Our Facebook group is having so much fun -- and if you haven't taken a look at the tags that were posted yesterday, you might want to stop by and take a peek.  You'll find the group here.  Today's Tag #2 has a couple of steps  1)Print and cut the tag filling a concave rectangle shape (rectangle and oval -- back minus front) with a little buffalo plaid from a collection I found at Creative Fabrica.  Make sure that shape is set to print only. Center the shape over the tag shape and line up with the bottom of the tag.    Foil the sentiment using a single line font or a font with a narrow line.  The standard foil quill point works well.  

Since the tag is printed on white cardstock, I inked the plaid edges with some Black Licorice ink, leaving the remainder of the tag without any inking.  

The snowflake has an added shadow which will be cut.  The snowflake is set to draw and foiled.  Once the foiling is complete, cut the shadow layer and pop up with a bit of foam tape.  Add a length of ribbon to finish off the tag.  The SCAL software and Skycut are perfect companions for creating holiday tags again this year...  

Thanks for stopping by!  Hoping your holiday crafting is going well.  

It's time for our 2022 Holiday Tag Reveal! Tag 1

Tag 1 for this year was inspired by a find in pinterest.  Using SCAL to design and cut on the Skycut C24.   AC cardstock in  Kraft for the base.   The sentiment Merry and Bright is foiled using the foil quill and the standard point.  The holly and berries are from the SCAL library, also cut in Kraft and colored using alcohol markers.  Tied off with a bit of twine.  The pine bough stamp is stamped using Versamark embossing ink.  

These are super easy and quick to make ...  thanks for stopping by today. 

Come on over to our Facebook page -- and see all the other fabulous tags our makers are creating!  

4 in one

It's so nice to find a file that can be adapted several ways.  I've shared a few of the ideas in this article now being shared on The Artistry.

3 of the four versions of this silhouette are made in paper.

The shaker versions were fun to create and while they require a little extra time, they are definitely worth it.  Shaker candy from Kat Scrappiness, Queen and Co and my stash.  

Paper versions are cut using the Skycut C24 and using SCAL 5 Pro. 

The fourth is from wood.  So much fun and we're looking forward to adding the laser cut wood version to our entryway tree. 

You'll find all the details for creating these fun holiday ornaments/tags here.  

 

B-days in November

Dropping in to update:  We have a few birthdays this month -- two cards are in the mail and should have arrived at their destination yesterday.  Fingers crossed!  

 

It was fun using papers from my stash.  One of the stacks is 15  years old!  Time to get it used up!  Ink for some texture, pop up dots for some layers and a surprise on the inside which can't be shared right now. 

Do you like to get b-day cards?  I certainly do.  Especially those that have been created with me specifically in mind.   

Cuts made using the Skycut C24 and SCAL 5 Pro.  

More cards to finish up in the next week or so and I'm looking forward to some creative time in the next few days.  How about you?  Have  you built in some creative time in the next few days?  If not, try.  It really is good for the soul.
