Hello and welcome back to Day 3 of Gina K Designs October Stamp Set Release Inspiration Hops! Remember, Gina and the Design Team will inspire you today with many beautiful ideas! And as you hop through the blogs listed below, make sure to leave a comment on each of them because we will choose a few random comments and those stampers will each win a Gina K Designs Grab Bag that could have anything from stamps to paper to embellishments in it! To see the list of winners check the Big News Forum at Stamp TV a couple of days after the hops!
Our October Release featured stamp sets today include this year’s holiday StampTV kit, which includes TWO gorgeous stamp sets! Merry Little Christmas:
And City of David:
And our final featured set today is this month’s 1 Free With 3 set, Holiday Tags:
I also used the coordinating Silhouette Cut Files: Merry Little Christmas, City of David, Holiday Tags. Of course, all of today’s stamp sets were absolutely PERFECT for my Advent calendar, too! I forgot to give you my tag dimensions yesterday -- the colored mats are: 2.75” x 4.25” and the cream (Sandy Beach) portion is a little smaller. Now on to today's Advent calendar tags:
Tags #15 & #21 use Merry Little Christmas (click on any photo for a larger view):
15-Fa-la-la: Go Christmas caroling. Holly berries colored with Copic R22,
R24, R27 and covered with Star Dust Stickles.
21-There’s no place like home
for the holidays. Traditional favorite family holiday movie night at home – “The Polar
Express”. Colored with Copic markers E25, E31, YG95, R24, Y23, R24. Silver jingle bell secured with silver cord.
#2 & #25 use City of David:
2-Wise men still seek Him: Star Dust Stickles on the stamped star.
25-For
unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, which is Christ the
Lord: Self-explanatory – the reason for the season. :) Star Dust Stickles on
the star colored with Copic Y15.
#22 uses Holiday Tags:
22-From Our Family To Yours: Deliver homemade holiday cookies and candy to neighbors.
Finishing Details:
All of the tags are secured by small
wooden clothespins (spray painted), to a picture frame (which I'll show you a little later). The inside of the frame
opening measures 11.50” x 17.50” and was just an old recycled frame that I
spray painted red.
I'm sorry I don't quite have all my Advent tags finished yet -- I'll be back this weekend to share the rest of them with you!
