Merry Christmas 44

Hi there! Welcome to the June MFT Design Team Creative Challenge! Just in case you are not familiar, the MFT Design Team Creative Challenge is a monthly feature, where we are challenged to explore our creative side using a specific theme, product, or technique. This month, we are creating Projects that Warm the Heart.

I created a couple of tags to adorn the gift packaging that contain homemade baked goodies inside for my dear sister, Tina and DH, Scott. They were made with LOTS of love and from the heart :)

 First up is a mixed media burlap tag that was die cut using one of the many versatile dies from the Die-namics Blueprints 9 set.

Once I die cut the burlap paper, I applied a coat of Gesso, added texture and design using the Petal Circles stencil. I added a variety of inks and paint then randomly stamped the text image from Collage Backgrounds.

I topped it off with a pink lemonade die cut Poinsettia and a sentiment from Starry Christmas:

Next up is die cut burlap tag that was made using a Die-namics Decorative Circle Tag STAX die and a store bought treat box that I stamped using the Sheet Music Background stamp:

Once I die cut the burlap tag, I applied a coat of Gesso, stamped the Sheet Music Background then splashed on MIX-ables Steel Shimmer Mist. I topped it off with a die cut wreath and sentiment from Starry Christmas:

I also made a holiday painting that will hopefully warm the hearts of my holiday company. I recently took an online course ~ How To Paint An Owl 2 taught by the talented Juliette Crane so I wanted to incorporate one of my hooties for the creative challenge.

After painting the owl, I added design to the background using the Petal Circles Stencil then randomly stamped and heat embossed snowflakes from Sophisticated Snowflakes:

I adhered a die cut heart that was made using Die-namics Hearts a Plenty die to her belly then outlined and stamped using the polka dot stamp from Distressed Background Blocks: 

For the title, I stamped one of the sentiments from Starry Christmas then randomly stamped the chicken wire stamp from Distressed Background Blocks:

I think these goodies will warm my loved ones hearts :) Thanks so much for visiting ~ I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday if you celebrate and if not, have a great day regardless! Please be sure to check out the MFT Blog for a list of all the designers who will be warming your heart today! 
Be Sweet ;)
