Jesus, The Reason for the Season ~ Vintage Inspired Shadow Box Part 3 ~ TupeloDesignsLLC

Good morning.  I'm back with the final post for the Vintage Inspired Shadow Boxes I've been making using amazing products found at TupeloDesignsLLC.
You can find the first post here
and the second post here.

I used one of the small vignette boxes on today's project, lining the inside of the box with this wonderful replica of a vintage Western Union Telegram found in the Tim Holtz Idea-ology Christmas Ephemera Pack.  I added strips of Christmas plaid Washi-Tape to the edges of the box.

I filled the box with two small bottle brush trees and a vintage Christmas ornament of baby Jesus in a tiny manger.  I added a bit of white Ranger Texture Paste onto the bottom of the scene to look like snow.  

The poinsettia and "Special Delivery" sign is from the 
Tim Holtz Idea-ology Christmas Ephemera Pack.  I adhered them using Aleen's Always Ready Turbo Tacky Glue.  I also added some dots of cranberry colored Stickles to the poinsettia for added texture.
Jesus was truly the very first "special delivery" of all the ages and he is the reason we celebrate this season of love and giving.  

Here's one more vintage inspired shadow box I made recently using many of the same products I found at TupeloDesignsLLC.

This was made using an old cigar box that I covered with papers from Simple Stories.  

I found the sweet Salvaged Snowmen from Tim Holtz Idea-ology in the store and just knew they had to come home with me.  There's also one of the many Holiday Flashcards from Tim Holtz tucked in there using an Old English font (Love!) and an Antique Nickel Snowflake Charm from the fabulous Tim Holtz line.

This is the front cover of the box.  Look at the beautiful vintage typography... swoon!  

Now you've seen four vintage inspired shadow boxes that I've created.

 To kick off this season of giving, I am giving away one of these vintage inspired shadow boxes that I've made and posted about for the last three weeks.

Jolly Ole' Elf Vintage Inspired Shadow Box ~ Part 2 TupeloDesignLLC

Hello friends.  I'm back with Part 2 of the vintage inspired vignette boxes I've been making using products from TupeloDesignsLLC.
You can find my first post here.  

Today's project is all about the Elf on the Shelf.  I remember my grandmother having some of these cute little knee hugger elves hanging on her Christmas tree.  Oh how I wish I had those to hang on my tree as I have such a fond memory of taking them off the tree and playing with them when I was a little girl.  But I digress...

For today's project, I used a vintage box that I had on hand and covered it in papers from Simple Stories Simple Vintage Christmas using Aleene's Always Ready Turbo Tacky Glue.  I added some nostalgic holiday elements from Tim Holtz Idea-ology Christmas Ephemera Pack.
To the wreath, I added a few dots of cranberry colored Stickles for added texture.

I filled the box with this vintage knee-hugger elf I found at Goodwill and a bottle brush tree from Tim Holtz Idea-ology Tree Lot,  I covered a battery operated tea light with peppermint candy washi-tape to light up the scene.  I used scrabble tiles to spell out the word "Elf".

 Would you like to win one of these?  Leave a comment on one or all three of my posts for "Vintage Inspired Shadow Box".  You can find the link to the first post at the top of this post.  Stay tuned next Thursday for part 3 of my Vintage Inspired Shadow Box posts.

National Garlands Vintage Inspired Shadow Box ~ Part 1 TupeloDesignsLLC

 Good morning friends.  I'm popping in today with a project I made using some fabulous products found in the TupeloDesignsLLC store.
Tim Holtz is a huge name in the crafting industry and he has an amazing line of vintage style products.

When I saw these Vingnette Box Tops come in the store, I knew I just had to have them.

  In fact, I bought several packages of them because I loved them so much and I have vintage loving friends that would enjoy getting one of these filled boxes for Christmas.

The box tops are made to fit over the wooden vignette trays which I covered using paper from Simple Stories Simple Vintage Christmas.  

The papers in this pack are so jolly and perfectly vintage!  Aleen's Always Ready Turbo Tacky Glue worked perfectly for adhering all the paper elements on this project.  It dries clear and has a super strong adhesion but because it's a liquid glue, it gives you time to move your paper elements into just the right position.

I also added some vintage images from Tim Holtz Christmas Ephemera. 

 This pack of vintage ephemera is filled with oodles and oodles of images, advertisements and holiday icons.  Enough for dozens of Christmas projects.

The wooden toy soldier is an ornament that I had in my vast collection of Christmas ornaments and the white bottle brush tree is from Tim Holtz Idea-ology Tree Lot.

Would you like to win one of these?  Leave a comment on one or all three of my posts for "Vintage Inspired Shadow Box".  Stay tuned next Thursday for part 2 of my Vintage Inspired Shadow Box posts.  ETA:  Dan, the owner of TupeloDesignsLLC is generously adding a few surprise items to this giveaway.  Thanks so much Dan!

Dies R Us ~ Giving Thanks

Hello friends~  Happy November!  It's the first of the month so that means there's a new challenge starting over at the Dies R Us Challenge Blog and the theme is "Giving Thanks".  

I pulled out a couple of vintage bird images from my stash and created two cards for this festive occasion.

The Impression Obsession "Give Thanks" dies is one of my favorite "go-to" dies for this time of year.

I added some doodling to the letters on this next card.  Which one do you like better?  

The leaves from from Frantic Stamper "Assorted Foliage are so pretty, cut from textured mustard colored cardstock and sponged lightly with Candied Apple Disress Ink.  I realized while I was posting these cards that this is actually a spring image.  I guess I was too focused on the colors to realize that those are forsythia sprigs and a robin.  Oh well, lets just pretend its fall... ok?  ;o)

Here's a list of the dies I used that can be found in the Dies R Us store

Elizabeth Craft Designs Stitched Rectangles

 Impression Obsession Give Thanks

Frantic Stamper Assorted Foliage

Marianne Designs Basic Distressed Square (Special Order) 

Candied Apple Distress Ink

I hope you'll visit the Dies R Us Challenge Blog and join in on the fun.

Whipping Up Fun! ~ TupeloDesignsLLC

Hello~  Are you getting ready to do some holiday baking?  Today's cards should have you whipping up fun for any occasion!

 I used the What's Cooking die from Spellbinders to make this fun, retro inspired card.  I cut the mixer out of pink cardstock and added the detail to the mixer using distress ink while the die cut was still in the metal die.  

The cherries are from Spellbinders Market Fresh, Aren't You Sweet set.  


Here's another card I whipped up for you for further inspiration.  I added an Elizabeth Craft Designs Small Cupcake just for you, because you're worth it!

I hope you're inspired by todays projects.

3 Tags for 25 Days of Tags 2018

Hello ~ I'm popping in with three tags I made for Tracey's 25 Days of Christmas Tags challenge.  I'm trying to keep up with each days challenges but it's proving to be quite a challenge.  haha!  

Here's my tag for day 2:

I was inspired by Svitlana Shayevich's tag using Altenew's Peaceful Wreath.  I didn't have that on hand so I used Hero Arts Color Layering Holly that I like equally as much. 

Day 3:  

I was inspired by Lindsey Larsen's soft and beautiful tags using Concord & 9th Ornamental Dies.  Those dies are now on my wish list but in the meantime, I used some ornament dies from Top Dog Dies, who are sadly now out of business.

Day 4:  I was inspired by Tricia Barbers cute Gnomes from Reverse Confetti.  Eeep they're cute!!  

I used a new die set from Marianne Designs "Gnomes" to create my tag. 

Be sure to visit Tracey's blog to see all the daily inspiration and join in on the fun!

Painted Background & Christmas Tags

Good morning friends.  I'm popping in with a card I made for this week's Make-It Monday Challenge at PTI.  Dawn inspired us to create a painted background.  Here's what I came up with:

I used tones of green, blue and teal with a touch of gold like Dawn did.  

I cut the painted background using the Mix & Mat Postal Die and added some Holiday Greens and one of the houses from Winter Village.  The sentiment is from Winter Village.

I also made a couple of tags for day 1 of Tracey's 25 Days of Christmas Tags.  I'm so glad I can play along this year.  I was inspired by Shari Carrol's beautiful tag using some supplies from Tim Holtz. 

 I just happened to get some of the same supplies in and hadn't used them yet so it was fun to recreate a similar design on my tags as Shari's beautiful tag found here.  

The poinsettia is from Elizabeth Craft Designs.

Furry Fall Critters ~ TupeloDesignsLLC ~

Good morning ~ I mentioned in a previous post for TupeloDesignsLLC that Pink & Main just came out with a new release and it's now available in the store. 

 Well, today's project uses some of the new products.  Season of Change & Wreath Base Die were the perfect match for these fall cards.

This little scarf wearing fox  looks pretty content, doesn't he??  The "hello" die is part of the Wreath Base die set.  I cut it out of Neenah Solar White card stock and blended on some Mustard Seed and Carved Pumpkin Distress Ink.

All of the images are colored using Copics.

I hope you're inspired by todays projects.

Dies R Us ~ Dies w/ Stitching on it

Hello there ~  It's time for a new challenge over at the Dies R Us Challenge Blog.  This week the theme is "Stitching".

I used Memory Box Open Studio Stitched Rectangle Layers for the stitched layers.  The typewriter is from a special order event from Marianne Designs.  

You really must check out their special order events when they come around.  So worth the small wait time for your European dies to arrive.

You can join in on the fun here.
