The Basement Crafter

     Hello everyone I just want to stop by today and wish everyone a wonderful Valentine's Day that is filled with love, kindness, hope and magic.

Today's Christmas Cards are simple white A2 card base with white 4" x 5 1/4"  layer popped up on  foam tape for some dimension on the card.  Both cards the ornament is punched out with a Stampin Up punch and a layer of glitter paper is adhered to the card underneath. The label for the sentiment on this first card is made from a punch from Stampin Up and the background of the Sentiment is glitter paper and the one stamped with the Sentiment is on white card stock stamped in black ink. This card I made a total of 9. This card is stamped right on the top layer of white card stock before putting the foam tape on. These cards I made a total of 23 cards. Both cards are embellished with craft store ribbon that are the 2 or 3 for $1.00. Feel free to share and link back your family and friends.

Since the rush of the holidays are over and the tree and decorations are down and put away, I just wanted to share with everyone over the next few days some of the items I made over the holidays. Ever find yourself needing a Santa Tag for the BIG gifts that are under the tree or a tag that you can use year after year for that special someone.  I had an order to create some tags for 3 special kids and this  is what I came up with.  The desire was a tag from Santa that can be tied to the Santa Sacks some people use.  This can also be used for the over sized bike or gift bags.  I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed making it. This tag is a simple tag with the TO: line left blank for the owner of the card to fill in or even have the child's name stamped in red as well.  Made from white card stock I had on hand as well as the red card stock I had on hand.  Santa stamped in corner the ribbon is from the craft store (the kind you get for $.33 per spool).  I had an old grommet
