25 Days of Christmas Tags Event with Shari Carroll
Hi everyone! Welcome to November!!!! It’s Shari here with a special tag as part of the 25 Days of Christmas Tags event on the In My Creative Opinion Blog. I was inspired by all the amazing Tim Holtz products from his Christmas 2017 collection.
I started out with Tim’s Distress tags and Christmas Stash 8×8 papers. I’ve covered the tag using some one of my favorite papers from the collection and Collage Medium.
I stenciled some the Pines onto the background with Potting Soil Archival ink, then re-stenciled with Transparent Texture Paste and gave it a dash of Rock Candy Glitter for some winter sparkle!!
These adorable Christmas Paper Dolls are the focus of this tag and I’ve put together 3 children dressed ready for the winter holiday!
I’ve filmed a video of the complete process which you can view below or on our YouTube channel HERE.

Happy Birthday to You… Brand NEW from CZ Design!
Hi friends! Happy Wednesday! Be sure to check out this super fresh inspiration from the latest CZ Design released today! This release includes the stamp set Birthday Palooza, along with a coordinating die, and an alphabet die set called All Caps. Be sure to watch the video and enjoy!

Hey everyone! Cathy Z here and I’m so happy to be sharing my newest stamp set with you today, Birthday Palooza! Since I started making cards last spring, I’ve made a ton of all occasion cards and then whenever I have a birthday coming up where I need to make a card, I realized I had virtually no birthday themes. So I decided to design one!
I love this simple set, with its overlapping letters and matching dies. I wanted to create a bright, happy birthday card, but still keep it fairly minimal. And my new favorite thing? Gray fog cardstock! I’ve been on a bit of a kick lately and it’s all about the gray fog card bases.

I’ve got a tutorial showing you how I made the card. I’m still learning on the whole Copic marker blending thing, but hey, that’s what craft time is for, am I right ladies?
