Whimsy Stamps "12 Days of Christmas" event....salt dough ornaments or tags!!

Hello everyone!! I have a super fun post to share today! It is for the.....

For all the details and how to win prizes please visit the Whimsy Blog. 

I have seen this on Pinterest for many years and finally have decided to make some.....Salt dough ornaments!! They are so pretty and so easy to make. Warning I have a lot of pictures.....:)

My daughters birthday is the 17th so I had to make a few for her. I will list all the products I used at the end of my post.

  

After you bake them I painted some with Distress inks. I also stamped the image before baking with Vintage Photo. 

These I embellished with some flowers.

Now these I used some Whimsy dies. I treated it like a stamp and used some Distress ink and lightly pressed it into the dough. The one on the upper left I painted with Distress inks after I baked them.

After you are done baking, stamping and painting I sprayed them with a sealer. You don't have to but I wanted the painted ink to stay in place. 

Here is a list of all the products I used. There is a lot.....:) 

Whimsy products:

Silver Fairy

Kitty Balloon

Stars and Baubles

Droplets Background

Holiday Circle Postmarks....oops...they don't have this set anymore but this one would look wonderful too.....Snowflake mini letter seals

Music Notes background

Christmas Mini Tag Sentiments

Hello word die

Winter's Jewel 1 die....GORGEOUS die

Layered Snowflakes Die set

A lot I know!! 

Here is the recipe I used to make the dough.

2 cups flour

1 cup salt

1 cup water

Bake at 200 degrees for awhile. Some of mine took hours. You can also let them air dry overnight or for a few days.

I hope you will give these a try they are so versatile and fun to make!!

Christmas tags

Hello everyone!! Hope you have a fabulous Halloween if you celebrate.  I have 4 kids so they look forward to this every year. Me on the other hand can't wait till it's over. I love seeing my kids get so excited and dressed up but for some reason I have never been that into this celebration even as a kid. 

So today I am sharing some tags I made for Whimsy Stamps using one of their new dies called "Funky Christmas tree".  

I had so much fun making these tags, There are so many possibilities!! I pulled out some of my stamp stash and used them to stamp some of the background swirls and sentiments. On the blue one I used the stamp set from Whimsy Stamps called "Christmas Mini Tag Sentiments"  

Hope you like the tags!

Have a great weekend!

Gingerbread Love

Hello everyone!! Wow has this week gone by fast, so fast I didn't get my project up when I wanted to.....oops!! Getting older and 4 kids is making my brain forget things....:)

Anyway I want to share some tags I made using the new set from Krista Heij-Barber called "Gingerbread Love". This set is so darn cute!! 

I colored these cuties with my Prismacolor pencils. I am really enjoying them right now. I also used the new die "Large Merry die".  I cute it out on one tag then used it as a stencil to spray the other tag. I then glued the cut out back into the the negative, hope that makes sense. I had lots of fun with this stamp set. 

I made a gift box with the one to put some cookies in or some cookie mix with a cookie cutter attached. I didn't have any cookies in the house so I just made do with some yarn...:)

Thanks for stopping by!
