Hero Arts Naughty and Nice gift tags

Happy Monday! T -4 days in counting before a much needed break for family and friends! I so look forward to the Christmas holidays every year :)

I am so sure many crafters are completing last minute projects as am I.  I made a series of tags using the fun Hero Arts Naughty and Nice Elves sets (I simply love these two sets) and the tree I used for the inner background (two of the tags) is from an older Hero Arts set Winter Time Fun.

Hero Arts was my introduction into card-making all those years ago and I still adore their products.

The shaker tag die is by Avery Elle and I used it for five tags. I mixed the tree and the North Pole sign for the backgrounds and the snow and elves are on the outside of the tags.

I coloured the Elves with Copic markers and used the accompanying dies. For the transparency, I used StazOn White for the snowflakes and the sentiment. The blue tag backgrounds were coloured in with a variety of blue Copic markers as I used Copic friendly inks for the inside images. There is also a variety of shaker materials on the inside of each to compliment the colours of the Elves.

Thanks so much for taking the time!

Hero Arts - Naughty & Nice

Happy hump day crafty friends! Had such fun with this tri-fold card featuring the new Hero Arts Naughty and Nice Elves.

I started with a piece of watercolour (smooth) card stock so that I could cut it 5.5 x 12 to make a tri-fold card base. I then stamped my snow with clear embossing ink by Simon Says Stamp and added my white embossing powder. I used my Salty Ocean Distress Ink for the sky. To make my snow drifts I used a mix of stencils with some Tumbled Glass Distress Ink. I used the lighter ink because I didn't buy the matching dies and I wanted to use my Copics.

I then stamped all my images from both the Naughty Elves and the Nice Elves sets on different snow drifts.  I then coloured them in and added some white Gellyroller detail, Star Dust Stickles and Red Nuvo drops on Rudolph's nose.

For the sentiment, I chose another Hero Arts set (I believe it is the Wonderful Stamp and Cut set). I die cut the Wonderful from some fun foam and red mirrored card stock by Tonic and white embossed the accompanying sentiments on black Lawn Fawn card stock.  I really love the way it turned out and I plan to use these wonderful elves on gift tags but I am ordering the dies! Lol.

Thanks for taking the time!
