Today is was 24 degrees out! I am definitely getting in the Christmas spirit… so here are some more ways to make quick and easy gift boxes and tags!
The new Craffiti stamp set I am featuring today is called Heart Tattoo. I don’t have a tattoo… but if I did, I would get a pretty one like this 🙂
These borders were so much fun to design. I like hearts but didn’t want “cute”, so I fiddled… and fiddled… and fiddled some more in Illustrator until I came out with two uncute coordinating heart patterns. They fit just right on an A-2 card. You can alternate borders in different colors to create a kind of wallpaper effect or just stamp one as the perfect accent on a card. They can also be joined and repeated as a stripe or border on a layout.

To make this project, I stamped on my Sizzix Box with Scalloped Flap (which you can find in Michael’s) and Labels & Buttons from the die with the same name. I used a watermark ink pad and some chalks to make color magically appear! I also used a permanent pen to decorate and letter the tags.
I used a resist chalking technique that I learned a while ago. I just love how soft it looks. When the color comes out it’s like magic. I did a video because it is something that you have to watch so I will post it on Wednesday.
EDIT: See the video here!
So here is the stamp of the day!
