Special Service Gift Wrapping Inspiration with Paper House Productions and Plaid!! =)

Pin It

Hello!!
I can't believe Christmas is in 5 Days!!
Where has this month gone!!?? I'm up on the Paper House Productions Blog today with some really AMAZING and FAST ideas for ways to create some Gift Wrapping for those SPECIAL Service people in your lives!! Paper House has Several Brand New Collections of the most AWESOME Service Papers, Stickers, 3-D Stickers you name it and they have got it!! They are just so NEAT and I though it would be FUN to use them for something other than just your Scrapbook Pages!! So I've created several different ways that you can use them for Wrapping a Special Gift!! We have also been teaming up with Plaid over the last couple of months so for an added touch of Interest I've used some of the AWESOME Plaid Paints and edged my papers with it for an extra WOWOWOW Factor!! I really LOVE the way it makes everything POP!!
I've used the Stocking Sizzix Die, Tim Holtz Tag Sizzix Dies along with the We R Memory Keepers Pillow Box Punch Board and a Brown Paper Gift Bag!! I LOVE how EASY and FUN it is to dress up Packages for Gift Giving and it looks like you've spent ALOT of time making them!! =) Just another way to get more from your stash of AMAZING Scrapbooking/Crafting Products!!

Hopefully this will give you some ways to make the Service Member feel even more SPECIAL for ALL that they GIVE during this Holiday Season!! These ideas would even work for Special Birthdays or Honors Events!! Don't FORGET to use those BEAUTIFUL Products that you may already have on hand!! =)
THANKS SO MUCH for stopping by today and I hope you have a Fabulous Holiday Weekend!!

Holiday Mason Jars with Plaid and Paper House Productions Blog Hop!! =)

Pin It

Hello!!

I'm stopping in today to share the BEAUTIFUL Mason Jar Project I made using some of my FAVORITE Plaid and Paper House Production Products!! =) We are joining them in a Cross Promotion Blog Hop and you have some chances to WIN Big!! =)
I started out by using some Pink Folk Art Paint to paint my entire Jar until it was completely covered!! I ended up applying two coats just because I'm OCDC and I wanted it to be covered!! Then I took their AWESOME Sparkling Mod Podge and applied a coat of that over the paint!! WOWOWOWOWOW!! I wish you could see just how BEAUTIFUL this is in REAL life!! =) I tried to catch the BEAUTIFUL Iridescent Sparkle on film and it just doesn't do it justice!!  Then I took some sand paper and sanded off the words and some of the other raised detailing on the jar!! I then took some Paper House Productions Paper and created a FUN Tag for my Jar!! =) I added some BEAUTIFUL 3-D Stickers from Paper House Productions to my Tag and a Felt Bow along with a Junk Bow and my Jar was complete!! I think these would be just AWESOME for the Holidays to fill with ALL sorts of YUMMY treasures Big or Small either way they are really FUN and EASY to make!! The AWESOME Plaid Paints and Mod Podge dry pretty quick too so you don't even have to wait very long to get them made!! It would even be a FUN Projects to have the Kiddos help with as gifts for Teachers or other LOVED ones this Holiday Season!! =)

SO I hope you'll join us for this AWESOME Blog Hop and don't forget to leave a Comment for your chance to WIN!! =)

Hello!!
Welcome to our Deck the Halls with Inky Paws Blog Hop with Newton's Nook Designs!!
I' SO EXCITED to be a part of the FUN Blog Hop where we have some AWESOME Guest Designers joining us and some AMAZING Prizes up for grabs too!!
I wanted to create a card using one of the Older but one of my FAVORITE Stamp Sets Holiday Wishes to create a Chalk Board Ornament!! I still LOVE this look and I have noticed it is still REALLY popular!! I stamped and White Embossed the Stocking and Ornament Images along with my Sentiment using my FAVORITE Hero Arts White Embossing Powder and then I added a little Burgundy Glitter to heart on the Stocking!! =)
I added dimension to the back of the Ornament to pop it up off my Card Front and then I added a couple bows for Extra Sweetness!!
I made this Sweet Tag using one of the Cute Dachshunds Images from the NND Holiday Hounds Stamp Set for the release a couple Months ago and got several questions about how I would use that on a Package!!?? So I thought today was a GREAT Time to share how I would add it to a Package!!  I stamped the Holly Bough Design by using the Holly Image from the NND Christmas Delivery Stamp Set!! One of my FAVORITE Sets!! I LOVE using these little Images to create with!! I then used the Star Image and some Judikins Sticky Stuff Embossing Powder to add some Glitter for some twinkling lights!! I then added the same Holly Images to a Gift Bag from My Mind's Eye that I colored using Colored Pencils and then I added the Tag to it using alittle Foam Tape just at the top to pop it up alittle!! Now I have the Perfect Package for a Sweet Little Gift for anyone Special on my List!!  I think this would also be CUTE on just a Brown Paper Wrapped Package and you could add a Sweet Little Bow or Ribbon and it would be just SUPER Cute!! I sure hope this Inspires you to use your Images for more than just your cards this Holiday Season!! =) Now go and see what the rest of the AMAMZING Designers have created for you today and don't forget to leave some LOVE for your chance to WIN!! =)

We are on Day 22 and we're sharing some Projects using Paper Smooches Products!! There have really been some awesome tags so far this month....and today I get to share some with you!! YIPPEEEE!! =) If you've missed out on the FUN you need to CLICK HERE to go to Tracey's blog and see all the goodness!!

I have made SEVERAL Projects to share with you today in hopes of giving you so different ideas on some different Tags you can create depending on your style!! For my first tag I wanted to create a Melting Felt Snowman!! I just LOVE the New Paper Smooches Cool Dudes Stamp Set!! I die cut some Rustic White Felt pieces using the PS Ovals 1 Dies and then I stamped and Embossed the Hat onto some Black Cardstock using Ranger Clear Embossing Powder!! I then took my Glue Pen and added Red Martha Stewart Glitter to the Band on the Hat!! I stamped and Embossed the Nose too and then Fussy Cut it out and added some Wiggly Eyes and stamped the mouth using some MFT Hybrid Ink in Black!! This INK ROCKS for stamping on Felt!! I created some Rusty Wire Arms and a Scarf and added it to a Large PS Quote Tag Die that I die cut to create a Folded Tag!! I stamped on the front of the Tag using the PS Potpourri Stamp Set!! I then splattered some Black Soot Distress Ink and added a PS Toppers Die Cut and added a Ribbon and my Tag was finished!! For the inside I Die Cut the Largest PS Ovals 1 Die and then stamped the Sentiment from the PS Cool Dudes Stamp Set and then added my Gift Card!! Such a FUN and EASY way to Decorate a Gift and make it useful at the same time!!  =)

My Next Tag is a Shaker Tag!! =)
I've used the PS Cool Dudes Stamp Set again along with the PS Ovals 1 Dies to create my opening and the base for my Shaker Tag!! I also used the PS Stitched Tag Die and the Large PS Quote Tag Die!! I wanted a Cute Little Hat for the Baby Snowman from the PS Cool Dudes Stamp Set and realized that the Small Hat in the Santa Paws Stamp Set is the PERFECT Size!! I also die cut some Felt Holly for the Top of my Tag using the Holly Dies from the New PS Christmas Words 2 Die Set!! I LOVE the Way it turned out!!

I wanted to create a Family Styled Tag and decided it would be FUN to use the Snowmen and do some Masking!! I LOVE the way they turned out!!

I also thought it would be FUN to create some Polaroid Styled Tags!! So I started by Die Cutting the PS Polaroid Dies!!  I then stamped my Sweet Little Christmas Tree Scene using the PS All Yule Need Stamp Set!! I used Twinkling H2O's to color them in and then used the To: and From: Stamps on the Back of the Tags from the PS Christmas Sampler Stamp Set!!

 

My next Tag is a REALLY Simple Design, but I think it packs a PUNCH!!?? I started with the PS Stitched Tag Die and cut it to create a Folded Tag!! I then took the PS Poinsettia Dies and Die Cut several layers from both Felt and Lace!! I layered them together and added a Vintage Button for the Center!! I stamped the sentiment from the New PS A Blessed Christmas Stamp Set!!

 

I hope you've ENJOYED my Tag Inspiration for today!!?? I had SO MUCH FUN creating them for you!! Don't forget!! Leave a comment here on my blog to enter to win one of the awesome prizes Tracey has - and click the link at the top of my post for another chance!!
