My first project is a tag. I diecut the nested tags and masked the edges before stamping the center with the  absolutely wonderful new stamp set called vintage holiday swagWhile the maskin tape was still in place I colored the image with watercolors. When the tag was completely dry I heat embossed the JOY sentiment to the bottom right corner.


 

For my secon project I simply diecut some panels of different sizes and the smallest one I stamped using the absolutely wonderful new stamp set called vintage holiday swag.  I colored the image with watercolors. When the card was completely dry I heat embossed the Merry Christmas sentiment to the upper left hand corner and then inked the edges using distress ink.


 





 For this card I combined the lovely stencil called stems and leaves  with a tag that I had masked the borders of and then stamped the center using the absolutely wonderful new stamp set called vintage holiday swag
