This week's challenge at Daring Cardmakers is to make a tag or label for a gift.
I've gone for a sort of cosy rustic vibe - of course embossing like this does mean you have to back it with a second, plain tag otherwise it's impossible to write on!
Supplies:
Cable Knit embossing folder (Stampin Up!)
Compliments of the Season stamp set (Waltzingmouse Stamps/Gina K)
Kraft and ivory cardstock
Tags dies by Tim Holtz/Sizzix
Brilliance ink by Tsukineko (Pearlescent Chocolate)
White pigment ink
Just neglect bells
Satin ribbon
Corner Chomper
Tracing wheel
Thanks for stopping by, hope your Christmas preparations are going to plan!

December elements
It's the first Friday of a new month and that means the Christmas countdown begins in earnest but it also means an "elemental" challenge at Daring Cardmakers. We have a very festive picture for inspiration his month (it's at the end of this post if you didn't arrive via the DCM blog) - just pick at least three elements to help kick-start your project.
I chose the wooden floorboards, heart, five-point star, script and sans serif font combo, and the red and white from the colour scheme and made a simple card that has a bit of a Scandi feel to it, as do some of the elements in the picture.
Stamps:
Wood grain (Darkroom Door)
Merry Stamp & Cut (Hero Arts)
Paper:
Smooth white
Kraft
Red
Ink:
Brilliance by Tsukineko (Pearlescent Chocolate)
Other:
Detail white embossing powder
Heart die
Star punch (Fiskars)
Confetti die (Mama Elephant)
Corner Chomper
Here's the picture for this month.
