Digi Stamps ~ Christmas Tags

Wednesday I showed you tags I made from Paper Piecings by Nikki,  today, I am presenting the same tags made in a different method. For these adorable bears, I used my Photoshop application to color the bears, I then sized them to the size I wanted and printed them out on my printer. Once the ink dried, I cut the bears out with my spellbinders die. Staying with the Christmas theme, I used red and green as my back ground colors. However, I can see so many other colors being used as well. Add a nice ribbon and again you have some great tags for packages, gift bags, or ornaments for your tree. Remember to date them so they become a keepsake for whoever is lucky enough to receive them.

I made these cute tags using the Very Beary Chirstmas digital set which can be found here. This is a set you won’t want to miss when it comes time to scrap your Christmas Memories!

Wednesday Design Team Project ~ Christmas Tags

Hello, and thank you for stopping in and checking out the designs I am making with Paper Piecing by Nikki.

These fun bears were made from the Very Beary Christmas set that you can find in Nikki’s store here, http://www.paperpiecingsbynikki.com/  

What package would look adorable under the tree with these festive plaid and green tags. This is also a great way to personalize your gifts. The tag could also double as a Christmas Tree Ornament. You could date your tags on the back and they would make a great keepsake.

These are only two of the cute bears you can make. There are six in the set. Check back on Friday and I will have more holiday tags for you to view from this same set.

This set is a must have, they are so versatile, allowing your imagination to run wild.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Merry Christmas,

Design Team ~ Tuesday Project ~ Gingerbread Christmas Layout

Happy Tuesday everyone!



Today for my Tuesday design team project I made a 12x12 layout from the wonderful Paper Piecings by Nikki. I used a combination of files for this layout. I used the Baking Memories as well as the freebie file Merry Christmas Peeker. This file won’t be free forever, so you better take advantage of it while you can.

 I wanted this layout to be simple and a way for personal pictures to be added. I like the Pink and Green colors. To be honest, these are not colors that I would have put together, however, after seeing a wonderful card on a blog I visited, I thought, pink and green do make great Christmas colors.

The pink polka-dot ribbons at the top were added in two corners to help frame the picture.  I liked this better than adding the normal photo corners and it added a little bit of color as well. 

On the tree, instead of using paper (dots)ornaments, I decided to use bling for a little bit of glitter and shine. The gems are pink and red.

While on the snowman, I chose to use google eyes and then black gems for his buttons.


The snowman, gingerbread, and the tree are all from the Baking Memories file and the Merry Christmas sentiment if from the Merry Christmas Peeker.

I hope you will take some time to check out Paper Piecing by Nikki http://www.paperpiecingsbynikki.com/ , she has some great files, and I have it on good authority that she has some awesome files in the making. I know you won’t want to miss them.

Paper Piecing by Nikki Design Team ~ Monday Card ~ Merry Christmas

With only a week left until Christmas, take a look at this was a fun card I made today. This is a free design from Paper Piecings by Nikki. (http://www.paperpiecingsbynikki.com/) If you are not familiar with paper piecing, this would be a great way to get started. The design is small and does not take up a lot of your time.

I have developed a new love for little bears; soft, cute, cuddly bears. This little bear was so fast and easy to make (I made him while I was watching a football game). Like the Sweet Reindeer card I made on Saturday, I laid out all of the pieces and cut them using my Sure Cuts A Lot application. I have found this to be a super fast method, as I only have to cut once before I start to glue the pieces together.


What I really like about paper piecing is you have a piece created by the designer, yet you can put it together in any way that you want to. Like this little card, I chose to divide the two words and make a two liner rather than just one. I then added the little bear on the words Christmas and finished it off by adding some sparkling snowflakes.


Thanks for stopping by today.
