What was the best Christmas gift you have ever received? I know the year I got my American Girl Doll - Samatha, now not in production. I was about 8 years old. Hugely exciting. My sister got Molly and my parents videotaped us opening them. "It's THEM! I think it's THEM!" I wish I could conjur that same child excitement leading up to Christmas, where you can barely containing your impatience and excitement. At least now I have beer.
Most useful gift may be my original iPod Nano. Changed my workouts by having music to move to.
Tags that emulate Christmas Past:
Hark, the Herald Angels
Cut the tag from Joys of the Season. Holly stamped with shades of green. Stamped "Happy Holidays" and used gold glitter glue in the lower right corner:
Joy to the World:
Also cut from Joys of the Season. Stamped two different stars in shades of yellow. Filled in the background of the star cutout with yellow glitter. "Joy" is heat embossed with gold powder.
Santa:
I cut the Santa head from "Joys of the Season" and then decorated the beard in white glitter. The hat is in red glitter and red flocking. The frame is cream cardstock, inked in red and then spritzed with Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist (color: candy apple).
Ornament:
The ornament is cut from "Sentimentals" and embossed, then I added red glitter. The flower is my delphinium flower, petals curled inwards and then the tips bent backwards.
Antique Merry Christmas
Tag cut from Sentimentals Cricut Cartridge. The rose is cut with my Rose 2 - petals SCUT file. I curled the petal layers by curling the first layer out, the next layer in, the next layer out, the next layer in, etc. The Merry Christmas is stamped in archival black ink, from a Tim Holtz stamp set.
Doe a Deer
The deer is embossed in copper powder, from a stamp I had. Peace is stamped in Ranger Distress Ink. The flower is my Generic Flower #5 SCUT file, sprayed with glimmer mist.
