Conie Fong November Design Team Project #3 - Red Robin Christmas Tags

 They serve God well who serve his creatures.
 Caroline Norton

Hey there from Nannyland,

A pretty tag on a beautifully wrapped present or colorful bag can make a gift seem extra special.  It was super fun to size this adorable Red Robin with Berries image from Conie Fong's Etsy Shop to create some holiday tags for some special people on my list this year. 

 

                                  

I created the tag base in Cricut Design Space and  cut it out twice for each tag, once in white and once in patterned paper.  After I colored and fussy cut my image, I sandwiched it between the two tag layers with some coordinating card stock for backing. I embellished the corners with some seasonal die cut sprigs and gems.  All that was left was to add some festive ribbon as ties and my tags are ready to spruce up (pun intended) some special gifts for family and friends.  And one of my favorite things is they double as a cards!  

I'll bet you have lots of seasonal images in your stash that would make fabulous holiday tags.  I hope I have inspired you to dust them off and create some fancy packaging for some of your besties.

Thanks for visiting Nannyland.

I'll just be here blissfully creating until your next visit.

Conie Fong November Design Team Project #2 - Puppy Cuddles Digital Stamp

 To be creative is to let little pieces of your heart go
and place them into each project you make.

Hey there from Nannyland, 

I've been loving the spectacular snowy scene posts from my FaceBook friends across the country and decided it was time to create a wintry forest z-fold card for this cute Conie Fong girl and her darling puppy.  The image is called Puppy Cuddles and you can find her here in Conie's fabulous Etsy Store here.

I used this Dreaming Tree card base svg that I had downloaded in Cricut Design Space for a past Christmas card and changed out the house focal image for this adorable miss.  I die cut snowflakes and added clear gems for some added background dimension.  My image is colored with Copic markers, fussy cut, and then layer onto my background with foam tape.  The silver "Peace" sentiment tag on the back fold was created in Cricut Design Space.

We're still waiting for our annual day of snow here in the desert, which usually happens in January and lasts less than a day.  That's just the way I like it!  The pretty photos and winter card-making paraphernalia are enough to keep me happy through these chilly days.  I hope I have inspired you to  create something full of snowy goodness to celebrate this lovely season.

Thanks for visiting Nannyland.

I'll just be here blissfully creating until your next visit.

Autumn Blessings - Grazia Salvo Women of Flowers Digital Stamp

Creativity is a wild mind and a disciplined eye. 
Dorothy Parker

Cricut Design Space, Heartfelt Creations stamps,dies, mold: Copic markers, assorted
gems and beads, lavender glitter card stock, Grazia Salvo digital stamp, pearl flourish

Hey there from Nannyland,

On my walk this morning along the trails by my home, the beautiful shades of fall were bursting forth all around me.  I've been creating so many Christmas cards to get ahead of the holiday frenzy, I have almost forgotten to sit back and relish my absolute favorite season.

I was eager to choose Copics in fall hues to color THIS lovely Women of Flowers image by Grazia Salvo.  I used a warm autumn palette and added a handmade Heartfelt Creations flower and a pearl flourish to add to the elegance of this amazing image.  I created the frame and sentiment tag in Cricut Design Space and added silver rimmed pearl gems to embellish each corner. 

I have vowed to take some time to stop and enjoy this glorious gilded season before it slips into the whirlwind of sparkly red and green. I hope I have inspired you to do the same.

Thanks for visiting Nannyland.

I'll just be here blissfully creating until your next visit.

Conie Fong November Design Team Project - Christmas Leilani

I like to compare the holiday season with the way a child listens to a favorite story. 

The pleasure is in the familiar way the story begins, the anticipation of familiar turns it takes,

 the familiar moments of suspense and the familiar climax and ending.  

Fred Rogers

Hey there from Nannyland, 

Choosing from among the many gorgeous holiday images in Conie Fongs Etsy shop has made my Design Team projects a joy to create.  This fabulous image is called Christmas Leilani and you can find her in Conie's shop here.

I printed her out twice on Xpressit blending paper and colored her with Copic markers.  The poinsettias are fussy cut and popped up with pop dots over the base image for dimension.  I had created and saved the card base for an earlier project in Cricut Design Space and I loved that my image fit so perfectly on this fun design.  Glitter gold and red cardstocks, and a touch of metallic gold make this card festive and elegant.  The blue snowy paper is digi paper printed on my computer.

Yes, I'm aware we haven't even celebrated Thanksgiving yet and I will be posting an autumn card next week.  I have vowed not to put up any Christmas decorations until the weekend after Thanksgiving, and so far, so good.  But I might sneak in a Hallmark movie or two before then.  

Thanks for visiting Nannyland.

I'll just be here blissfully creating until your next visit.
