Happy Saturday everyone! Ally here! I also want to say a belated Happy Thanksgiving to all of my fellow Canadian crafters! I hope you've had a great holiday last weekend.
Welcome to Inspire Me Monday Saturday! I have to confess. This was supposed to go live on the blog on Monday morning but I came down with an ugly flu late Saturday night and I was in bed until late Thursday before I was feeling well enough to even venture out of bed. But as of yesterday, I'm feeling almost 100% again... thank goodness.
So today I'm going to highlight the amazingly fun and festive "Holly Golightly" stamp set. This clear stamp set contains a 3 beautiful images (a tag, a spray of holly and also a tiny bouquet) and 4 festive sentiments with a few special extras.
PLUS... we also have a complimentary digital stamp that allows you to create tags in any size and it's called "Holly Jolly Tag Digital Stamp". Perfect for your quick download, print and create projects!
So now that you're familiar with today's stamp set, let's get creating!
So, to start, make your card sweet and simple! Yup... some fun patterned papers in a fun color palette...
I love the pinks, turquoise and greens of this paper!
Next, go a little more detailed. Add some sparkle! Whether it be some frames of glitter paper (Sorry, it's hard to see & photograph - it's the white border in between the plaid and cars!) or add some sparkle mediums like Stickles or Nuvo Drops, you can never go wrong with some some shine on your holiday cards and creations.
Next, why not try a shaker tag for your cards? Our digital stamp version, the "Holly Jolly Tag Digital Stamp" would be perfect for this as you can enlarge your tag image to create a larger tag therefore, a larger shaker.
Now don't forget to decorate your packing! Or heck, why not make your own! Grab some fun kraft wrapping paper from the dollar store and grab those fun colored inks and your stamps and go cRaZy! When you're done with your wrapping paper, add that final touch of a tag to identify your recipient.
QUICK PROJECT TIP: Try cutting your tag in a long rectangular shape instead of fussy cutting it out, stamp your tag in a fun ink color along with the "To" and "From" sentiments to create fun, fast tags for all your holiday gifts!
Plus, I think this tag would make a great name place holder for your Christmas table! You could make all your name place holders match your festive table colors!!
Thanks for sticking around for the end today. I hope I've inspired you this weekend to go and create for the up and coming holiday.
Join me again next time! Happy creating!
