spotlight on... tag it, deer.

Happy Monday! A few more days of digi stamp spotlights, mkay? Today, let's look at the current fave: tag it, deer.

The image is so sweet, and perfect for creating holiday tags. I wrapped my first Christmas present of the season, for my little nephew.

I can't tell you how much I love how the tag and the buffalo check wrapping paper look together. The tag was not hard to create!  I printed the deer onto kraft paper (4 to a sheet so that I could cut it out with an oval steel die,) and then filled a sheet with the banner images. I typed in names of family and friends and printed them onto red paper. The banners I cut out by hand while watching Quantico (is anyone else hooked? dayum, everybody is keeping secrets!)

Once everything was printed and cut out, I added a bit of shading to the deer, and some light accents with a white gel pen.

I also decided to nix the banner image and just use the deer on a card:

Here, I paired her with the wreath image (that I also illustrated!) from Mama Elephant's Charmed set. She looks just as sweet in full color as she did printed on kraft paper.

I'm thrilled that so many of you love her!

Just ME digital stamps etsy shop opening!

I am so excited to share with you all that I've opened a little digital stamp shop!

They are all part of my Christmas collection (they've just all winter and holiday themed, but that sounded fancy.)  I'm making all of my Christmas tags this year with the sweet deer image above.

This cute bear holding this stuffed snowman is my favorite. And the retro-looking banner is so fun!



I also have a couple of elf kids in the collection. With their holiday footed pyjamas, they are ready for Christmas!

If you only need the boy image, he comes to you atop a present. Of course he made the nice list!



The matching girl image also comes with a little reindeer friend.

Sometimes they do let Rudolph play in the reindeer games.



This one is a little play on the Nutcracker Suite.... it's nutcracker sweet! ha. The nutcracker is a girl and she hangs with her little mouse queen friend.

Last, but not least, this waving penguin with his snowman-shaped balloon.

I hope you like what you see! All images can be purchased in my shop, please feel free to look around - click!
