Funny Christmas Gift Tags

 My family has a great sense of humor, so I know they are going to enjoy the funny gift tags I've created for their Christmas presents this year.  

I created these tags in Cricut Design Space with images, tags, and pattern fills and if you're also a Cricut crafter and would like to make these, I've shared the link to the file for these on my Cricut profile.

This one is embellished with the Eyelet Outlet jeans & t-shirt brads as well as one of the cuddly puppies from our puppy brad set. 

The jeans & t-shirt set was used on this one, too.  The set includes 4 colors of t-shirts.  I also used a snowflake brad and a vintage looking Santa brad from our Santa & Deer set.  

Love the pony from the horse and pony set!  I'm afraid my granddaughter is going to be disappointed that she's not really getting a pony!!

Our classic car set includes 4 different colors!  Our motorcycle brad would be awesome on this, too!

Thanks for stopping by!  

  

Mother's Day is fast approaching and here's a quick little card to let her know you appreciate the great genes she gave you!

I started with a denim digital paper and added some faux stitching around the edge.  The sentiment is from the Cricut image library, but I substituted a little heart brad and Eyelet Outlet's cute blue jeans!

This card was quick and easy and sure to give your mom a smile!

It's In My Jeans

I live in the midwest, where it's impossible to ignore farming. It's all around me. Cows. Corn fields. Barns. Grain elevators that reach to the sky. 

This year hasn't been good to the farmers here. The rains came and came and came when they needed to be planting. Then when they finally got the crops in the fields, drought. It's yet to be determined what harvest will be like.

Even with the adversity, they don't give up. After all, farming is in their jeans genes.

It's All About Laundry

It's Kim from Katydid Cards with you today.  Happy to be here and I'm glad you're here, too.

Another Eyelet Outlet clear stamp set is Clothes and has a collection of cute and useful greetings.  I made two laundry themed cards using them and the new Jeans & T-Shirt, Dress and Stocking Brads.

The image was stamped twice; once on a base of white cardstock and a second on a scrap of white.  For the second, I cut around the perimeter of the laundry basket and colored it in colors to coordinate with the washi tape (which is now sold out).   Next, I tucked all my laundry on the white cardstock base "in" the basket and then attached my cut out basket.  I used dimensionals on the bottom section and a few dots of Glossy Accents on the top to make sure it stuck to the brads.

This time I stamped the laundry basket by hand, avoiding the word, "LOADS".  Then I used a fine tip black marker to fill in the missing lines.  After doing this, I scanned the image into my computer to use to create the background.  Then I colored the basket and in the "holes" the various colors to simulate clothes in the basket.  I placed pearls randomly to simulate soap suds.

You may not be able to see this from the picture above, but this card is actually a shadow box.  Here's another view from the side so you can see what I mean.  I used a cut file purchased in the Silhouette store.

I had "loads" of fun making these cards.  I hope you like them!
