HLS November Christmas Card Challenge

Hello! Ready for a new Christmas Challenge over at Happy Little Stampers?

Here is our word you need to use for this months challenge -


You can make a Christmas tag or incorporate a tag onto your card :)

We have a wonderful guest designer with us for this challenge - Bonnie from Stamping with Klass. Welcome!


I decided to create a tag -


I die cut my tag from a piece of DSP cardboard backing. This makes the tag nice and strong. I then die cut a piece of kraft paper and glued it to the tag. 

I masked off the lower portion with a piece of painters tape and used true snow and a stencil to create my background in the upper portion.

I embossed the script stamp from the HLS Thinking of You set onto some gold paper and die cut out some trees. I found some christmas paper in my stash, glued it to the bottom portion then popped up my trees with foam squares. Lastly, I embossed Peace from the HLS Mixed Christmas Sentiments set.

My last part was tying up some Gold Flecked Bakers Twine - finished!



Our lucky winner for this challenge will win the Butterfly Birthday set from Happy Little Stampers -




I would like to enter my tag into the following challenges -



Thanks so much for looking.

    Really beautiful tag Kylie. Love the rustic look with the kraft background and fun striped paper. The snow adds lots of texture and fun. Then, the gold script stamped trees add a touch of elegance. Great tag! Thanks for sharing at my Twelve Tags of Christmas event. xx

    What a gorgeous tag Kylie! I love kraft tags and the it was such a good idea to stamp the script on the trees. The muted colours of the DP were a perfect match too.

    Very beautifully designed, and love the mixture of the traditional colors in the lower stripe pattern with the kraft color of the top piece. That snow is just gorgeous, and love the script-trees. Wonderful mixture of patterns & colors and some great seasonal sentiment stamping! TFS
