Merry Tags

Every year I seem to get to December with hardly any Christmas tags made and then the panic is on as I'm wrapping gifts to figure something out quickly! I'm hoping I can aim to be a bit more organized this year by having a count on my blog for tags, too. Here's my assembly line :)
Paper - Sea Glass, White Daisy cardstock; Silver foil paper (CTMH);
Dies - Merry Stamp & Cut (Hero Arts); Snowflakes (CTMH); Stitched Dress Up Tags (SSS);
Embellishments - Slate twine (CTMH).
I've been wanting to link up to the Merry Monday summer link-up this summer and finally sat down to make a few cards to add to my stash. This card features a sneak peak at a new Close To My Heart Christmas stamp set that will be coming out September 1st!
All supplies are Close To My Heart:
Paper - Sea Glass, White Daisy cardstock;
Stamps - Frosted Christmas *new*, Frosted Cardmaking Workshop, Holiday Jingle;
Embossing Powder - Silver; Embellishments - Sparkles

I love this watercolour tree set from Art Impressions and it has been my goal to create a card with this tree for each season this year! Here is my winter tree and my spring tree from earlier this year. I thought I would challenge myself to incorporate the Art Impressions challenge of creating an orange and purple card - not two colours I use very frequently! I am also linking up with The Paper Players challenge of CAS colouring. I made two versions of this card - one with a purple background and the other using an orangey-red background.
Paper - Adventure Fundamental paper packet (CTMH); Distressed Watercolour paper (Tim Holtz);
Stamps - WC Tree Set (Ai); Say It In Style (CTMH);
Markers - 126, 177, 676, 905, 992 (Tombow); NO. 15 Olive Green (Marvy);
Dies - Stitched Ovals (Memory Box); Stitched Circles (SSS);
Embellishments - Gumdrops (YNS). 

I wanted to find a way to show off this gorgeous new paper from Close To My Heart and thought I would incorporate some of our new vellum, too. I was inspired by this card that I came across and thought I would link up with the "stylish and classy" challenge over at Heart2Heart.
Paper - Adventure Fundamental paper packet; White Daisy, Lagoon cardstock; vellum (CTMH);
Stamps - Say It In Style (CTMH); Dies - Basic Tags, Hearts (CTMH); Stitched Rectangles (Memory Box);
Embellishments - Twine (CTMH); Clear gumdrops (YNS).

I created another card using pink, too.


Today I felt like it was time to work on my Christmas stash! I got this cute merry die from Hero Arts and wanted to use it somehow. I decided to use the sketch only from Fusion after I was inspired by the design team gallery (but I missed the linkup) and add a sentiment to go along with my die to link up with the "add a sentiment" challenge over at Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge. I was excited to add these sweet little snowflakes from Taylored Expressions to my card. It's fun to have new Christmas stuff to play with!
Paper - Jack paper collection; Black cardstock; White glitter paper (CTMH); 
Stamps & Dies - Merry Stamp & Cut (Hero Arts); Snowflake Confetti (Taylored Expressions).
Today I created a wedding card to celebrate the 300th sketch over at Freshly Made Sketches!
Paper - Wedding Bliss (Echo Park); Black, Cotton Candy, Ivory cardstock (SSS); Vellum paper (CTMH);
Stamps - Floral Bliss (SSS); Embossing Powder - Princess Gold (CTMH);
