Hello Fetti Fans! Ali here today with some lovely Christmas tags that can also be made as tree ornaments. I've used the Open Drop Cover Panel centre die to form the shape of the tags/ornaments and the beautiful Snowflake Season images for the embossed feature. The Blessed and Love and XOXO Word Duos Confetti Cut word dies are perfect to complete them.  

Hope this inspires you to create some handmade tree decorations! See you again soon

Greetings 'Fetti Fam and happy DECEMBER! This year has flown by and I know that a lot of you are like me and saying "thank goodness!" I look forward to what 2022 has to bring. We're kicking off this final month with a new STOCK YOUR STASH challenge and we sure hope that you will play along!

Stock Your Stash is designed to help you add cards for different occasions to your collection! Every month features a different theme so if you play along you'll have a nice collection of different cards to share with family and friends. Oh and did I mention that once you link you're card your automatically entered to win the monthly prize?

The theme for December is "Thank You". It's always important to send a thank you to express your appreciation for a kindness that's been extended to you. And if you've been very good this holiday season you might need more than a few of these!

I love flowers for every occasion so my go to this time was the Bloom stamp set. I used the large image from the set to make a pretty border between some solid cardstock and some stamped Patterned Panels stripes.

I used an Inside Scallop Circle Tag to create a focal point for the "Thanks" from Best Sentiments. I trimmed the tag topper from the tag and tucked the cut edge under the flowers that are raised with adhesive foam tape.

I hope you find some time to play along at Reverse Confetti! You'll be glad you Stocked Your Stash the next time you reach for a greeting card!
Finished Size 4.25 x 5.5"

Ok, now it's your turn to show us your THANK YOU cards for a chance to win!

Hello crafty friends! I'm Lien and this week I'm sharing a clean and simple circle card using some die cut inlay! As always you can find the video at the bottom of the blogpost!

For this card I started out by stamping the lovely little Christmas tree image from the Polar Party stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink (any alcohol marker friendly ink will do!) onto Clairefontaine DCP 250 gsm cardstock. I quickly colored this in with my markers and then fussy cut it out. If you're not as much a fan of fussy cutting as I am, you can use the matching dies. Now I'm going to zhuzh up this tree a little bit more later, but let's get started on our cardbase and background, shall we?

To make this circle card I die cut three circles of the same size, using some regular old nesting circle dies. I put two aside, those will form my cardbase later and from the third one I can die cut the Circle Element Confetti Cuts die right from the center of it. I also die cut that same die from some holographic gold cardstock, any specialty cardstock will really pack a punch here!

I then used my scoring tool to put a score line near the top of one of the plain circles. I reinforce that with my bonefolder and put some liquid glue on everything above the scoreline then adhere it to the second plain circle. I then glue the white circle with the circle element die cut from it right to the front of my card. Now using some more liquid glue, I fill in some of the gaps and I use a jewel picker to insert the gold holographic pieces for a fun die cut inlay look. Once I've done all that I can mount the tree on top with some foam adhesive. To finish the tree I put some Wink of Stella Clear Brush pen on the stars and some Glossy Accents on the red baubles.

If you'd like to see how I made this card plus a fun matching envelope, please watch the video below! Thank you so much for visiting!

Candice with you today sharing a quick and fun ornament you could make with your children for Christmas! One of our family traditions is to make a yearly ornament so that by the time my kids get their own tree they will have ornaments with memories to go on their tree!

I used these Reverse Confetti products for my ornaments:

• Open Drop Cover Panel dies
• Hello Holiday 6x6 paper pad

I die cut 3 of the green dots, 3 of the striped, and 6 of the shimmer white cardstocks from the inside drop cover, scored them down the center and adhered all of them together except closing it together using strong double-sided tape.

To assemble the ornaments, I trimmed pieces of gold twine, tied a knot on the bottoms, and closed the ornaments together with the twine in the center. To add a bit more sparkle, I glued some gold domes on the white inside pieces.

You can make these with all that Christmas pattern paper you have and you can also add extra layers to make it thicker if you would like to!

Thank you for visiting today!

Hello again! Candice with you today sharing a great way to combine your word dies to create a great focal point sentiment on your card!

I used these Reverse Confetti products to create my slimline design:

• Adore Him stamps & coordinating dies
• Retro Holiday stamps & coordinating dies
• Layered Peace dies
• Layered Joy dies
• Hello Holidays 6x6 paper pad

I began my slimline with an 8 1/2 x 3 1/2 card base.

For my background, I trimmed a piece of Bristol Smooth a little smaller than my card front, inked it with broken china, tumbled glass, mowed lawn and bundled sage, and splattered with white paint and gold shimmer spray using a damp paintbrush.

While that dried, I die cut the PEACE from a piece of Bristol Smooth inked with the broken china and tumbled glass, and the JOY from another piece inked with the mowed lawn and bundled sage and layered the 2. I then used my Cameo Silhouette to cut out the & from some pattern paper.

Next, I stamped Mary, Joseph, and Jesus and the doves colored them with copic markers, and used the coordinating dies to cut them out. I then heat embossed the stars in gold and cut out with the matching dies and heat embossed the sentiment on a small banner. To put the card together, I first arranged my word die sentiment and placed the sentiment banner along the bottom of the JOY. The images I placed around the words to draw your eye in and finished with some gold domes!

I hope you try to use your word dies to create a great focal point on your next card!

Thank you for stopping by today!

Candice
