Hello Crafty Friends, It’s Ceal, here. Today I am sharing how to make this Gift Tag with a Shaker Ornament attached. The recipient can also use the Shaker Ornament for a gift tag if they want.
Skill: Intermediate Time: 1 hour
Directions:
Gather your supplies. For this project you will need a MISTI Lite or other stamping platform, a Grip or Sticky Mat, a shaker element die set (I used a snow globe) a tag die set, and a die cutting machine. I used several colors of VersaFine Clair ink in Rain Forest, Blue Belle and Warm Breeze
Step 1: Cut out all your die cut pieces. I ended up also using some trees and a snowman from an old Hero Arts set. You will need 2 frames and two bases of the snow globe
Step 2: Mask off the bottom portion of the snow globe for the snow.
Step 3: Using Warm Breeze, ink the bottom portion above the mask.
Step 4: Using Blue Belle, ink the top portion of the snow globe.
Step 5: Cover the bottom portion of the snow globe and splatter the top portion with watered down white acrylic paint for the snow.
Step 6: Ink the trees using Rain Forest ink and color the hat, arms, face, and button of the snowman with a marker.
Step 7: Add all the elements, trees and snowman to the base.
Step 8: Recycle and add some packaging to one of the globes to create the shaker.
Step 9: Add some glitter or sequins to the front of the snow globe and add foam tape to the back of the snow globe frame.
Tip- always add liquid glue on the foam tape so it gives a minute to move it if needed. Glue the two together.
Step 10: Cut out a tag and stamp a greeting on it. Add a string to the snow globe and then place another backer over it for a clean look.
Hello Friends! Katy here with another holiday video using VersaFine Clair inks to create a beautiful mixed media looking snowflake card. Video has all the details. Thanks for watching.
Hello Friends! Happy Holidays! How lucky would one be to come upon a peaceful scene like this, 2 deer hunting for grass on a snowy landscape? For this card I stayed focused on only two colors and some glitter paper to create this wintry scene.

I was inspired to make a minimalist holiday card to allow the main botanical image to shine as the focal point. But I also knew that I wanted it to be shiny, so pulled out my current favorite Delicata color-Champagne- to add some subtitle shine.
Skill: Intermediate Time: 1 hour
Directions:
Step 1: Stamp the large botanical image on a piece of watercolor paper with Nocturne VersaFine Clair ink. Then heat emboss with clear embossing powder.
Step 2: Use markers to color in the berries and leaves. Use the Rhubarb Stalk Memento Dual Marker to color over the shaded areas of the berries. Then color a piece of acetate packaging with Lady Bug Memento Dual Marker and spray with water, use this to watercolor in the berries. While watercoloring, make sure to watercolor over all of the berries to blend in the watercolor with the darker red marker already colored in the berries. Then color another area of the acetate packaging with both the Emerald Fabrico Dual Marker and the Northern Pine Memento Dual Marker and spray with more water. Mix the two colors together to create a blend of the two colors and then watercolor the leaves. Allow to dry.
After all of the image dried, die cut the image with the corresponding die.
Step 3: Trim a second panel of watercolor paper in the papertrimmer the same size as the die cut frame created in step 2. Then press the Campagne Delicata Ink pad onto acetate packaging and spray with water to watercolor smoosh both the panel and the botanical image/frame to add sparkle to both.
Off camera, I got a small smudge on the frame with my finger. To fix this, I used some of the leftover green watercolor I made for step 2 to splatter green over the frame.
Step 4: Glue the frame onto the watercolor panel. Then stamp a sentiment on the lower right corner of the panel with more Nocturne VersaFine Clair ink and heat emboss with clear embossing powder. Glue the panel onto an A2-sized white cardbase. Glue white rhinestones on the lower left and upper right parts of the card panel to finish the card.
