Welcome everyone! This is Amanda from Twiddler’s Nook today to share a trio of Christmas tags I made with the new ornament sets.

Let’s start with making the tag bases. I took a regular sheet of cardstock and folded it down the middle length-wise.

Then I place my base ornament die hanging off the folded edge about 1/4 inch and ran it through my die cutter. I got 3 tag bases out of 1 sheet of cardstock.

Then I moved on to creating the ornament fronts. I die cut the layers from different colors of cardstock and adhered them with liquid glue. Here are the layers to the Marisol ornament.

Then I moved on to the components from the original ornament basics set and created one from just those.

And lastly, I decided to create a twinkle ornament today too. These are so fun I really could have kept going.

As I mentioned earlier, I used liquid glue and adhered all of these layers together to create the fronts to my tags. Then I added the tag bases to the back of them. I die cut the ornament topper from the basics set and attached those to the tops. Let’s look at the finished product of each ornament.

This is the one using just the ornament basics dies. Once it was finished I thought the middle was empty so I added the word “friend” across the middle. I love how this turned out!

Here is the marisol ornament all finished with some baubles added for extra texture and interest. I think this one is just gorgeous! Definitely my favorite.

And the twinkle ornament with some gems added to it to finish everything off as well. Isn’t it just so pretty? I can’t wait to try this one in silver and blue.

I hope you enjoyed these ornament tags today and find some inspiration to create something wonderful.

Have a fabulous day.

Hello everyone. It’s Amanda from Twiddler’s Nook joining you today for a trio of cards. I started with one in mind and just couldn’t stop creating! These were so fun to create!

We’re going to start with the process I used to create the Thanks card first and then I’ll touch on some differences with the other 2. Let’s dive in!

To create all of these cards, I chose my 3 colors and cut 3 of each of the Cora layers and assembled them with liquid glue.

For this first one, I used the Ring Tile stencil with a yellow dye in and blending brush. I just did half, then shifted the stencil and did the other half. It was super easy!

Then I glued the Cora layers to the stenciled panel, trimmed the excess off and adhered the panel to a white card base measuring 3.5×8.5. I die cut the letters from the Jumbo Lingo Thanks from white and the darkest teal and adhered them all together. Finishing off by adding them to the top of my card and adding some Nuvo Crystal Drops in dandelion yellow scattered about.

Here’s a look at the finished product. I absolutely love these colors together! And that sentiment is so bold and wonderful! I love it! Let’s keep going with the HAPPY card next.

I created my Cora layers the same way with different colors and moved on to stenciling a panel with the Midnight Mandala stencil this time. I started on one end with my blending brush and some melon dye ink, then moved the stencil and used peach ink and finally moved it one more time and ended with yellow so it all coordinated with my cardstock colors.

This time the sentiment is white on white with 3 layers of the letters on top for dimension.

Now for this design, although I created 3 of the Cora layers up front, I only used one because I love the stencil showing through. I adhered everything and popped the panel on a white card base. For finishing touches this time, I used Nuvo Crystal Drops in dandelion yellow, sugared almond and bubblegum blush.

Now, let’s check out that bold masculine version.

Again, I created the Cora layers with those awesome bold colors and set them aside to stencil my background.

For the sentiment this time, I decided not to use the shadow and try moving the letter vertical though. It looks so cool this way!

I adhered my stenciled panel to a card base and then adhered the Cora layers and trimmed the excess. For placement on the sentiment I used a T-ruler to keep it all straight. Notice how the “O” is funny because of the curve…I adhered all the other letters, removed the stencil and eyeballed centering the “O” under it all. It looks much more balanced.

Then I finished this one off with some cool bubble embellishments and it’s done.

I know this was a really long post and I appreciate you sticking with me. I hope you found some inspiration to create something wonderful. Have a fabulous day!

Hello everyone. It’s Amanda from Twiddler’s Nook sharing a card using some new goodies that are available in the shop!

As soon as I saw this new Torus Ring, I just had to try it in rainbow before anything else. So I pulled out some cardstock and started cutting!

I cut the frame 3 times from black cardstock and the filler piece from 6 different rainbow colors of cardstock. I used my liquid glue to adhere all the frames together and put some clear blocks on top while it dried.

Then I took a white card base and the bold stripes stencil. I used a blending brush with some light gray ink for a subtle background.

Next, I chose the Big Lingo Happy dies for a sentiment. I cut the shadow from white and then letters from white and black and used liquid glue to adhere all the pieces. I used the outline from the black and the actual letter pieces from the white.

I adhered the colored pieces of the Torus Ring to the back of the frames and glued the whole thing to my card front. Then I added HAPPY on top and put clear blocks on it all while it dried.

Finally I moved on to finishing touches for my card. I added some flat confetti pieces scattered across and Wink of Stella glitter brush pen to the HAPPY.

I feel like this card is great for any occasion. It’s just waiting for you to write what there is to be happy about on the inside.

Happy Everything! Happy Birthday! Happy Day! Happy You! The possibilities are endless. I always need cards like this in my stash because it’s fun to celebrate all kind of things at the drop of a hat.

I appreciate you sharing your time with me. Have a fabulous day!
