Happy Saturday, crafty friends! I have a card and two Christmas tags to share with you today. These are my featured projects for Altenew's July 2025 Release Instagram hop. In true Altenew fashion, there are some awesome prizes to be awarded to commenters on the Instagram hop. I hope you'll join me over there!
This card features the gorgeous Lush Berry Branch stencil set and 3D embossing folder.
First I embossed white cardstock with the Lush Berry Branch 3D embossing folder. Then I added Fresh Dye Inks through each stencil with my favorite Mini Blending Brushes. The inks I used are: Cherry Sweet, Mocha, Forest Glads, and Evergreen.
When I finished stenciling I trimmed the piece to 4" x 5-¼" and added it to a layer of Jet Black Crafty Necessities cardstock.
The sentiment is from the Wrapped With Love Press Plates. I cut it out with the coordinating die.
I added a bit of bling with some Dazzling Diamond Stellar Sequins.
My next project is two Christmas gift tags.
I created these tags with the Berry Whisper Press Plates and dies. There are two berry branch press plates. I used Evergreen Fresh Dye ink to press the images onto white cardstock. TIP: If you find the ink beading up on the press plates, clean them off and then press some clear embossing ink onto the plates. Then use a micro fiber cloth to gently wipe off some of the ink. Then re-ink with the colors of your choice.
The berries remain white after being pressed, so I used a couple of red Copic markers to color each berry.
The tags are die cut from Moonstone Glitter cardstock with Terrific Tag dies. After trimming the Berry Whisper branches into three pieces, I used glue to adhere them to the tags.
I stamped the Wrapped With Love sentiment stamps with Cherry Sweet ink. Then I cut them out with the coordinating dies.
I added bits of ribbon and twine from my stash to each tag.
If you need holiday cards and tags, keep these in mind. Not only are they easy to make, the stencils make the coloring quick too.
I hope you'll join me over on my Instagram for the hop. I have the complete hop list and prize details for you there. Have a wonderful weekend!

Your tags are beautiful, lovely colors and sparkle. For me, your embossed, ink blended card is pretty amazing.
