The 25 Days of Christmas Tags 2019- Day 18

Hey peeps,  

  

The posts from here on out will probably be very, very short.  It seems I am coming down with an upper respiratory situation…of course right before Thanksgiving.   Nothing like a Thanksgiving meal you can’t taste or smell (mercy).  But I must count my many blessings and praise HIS Holy name anyway, Amen!  Right now, I am grateful for being able to keep up with the 25 Days of Christmas Tags hop hosted by Tracey McNeely and today’s sponsor Neat and Tangled.  Tracey, you know we love and appreciate all your hard work!!!  I am also grateful for some quick inspiration for Carol, click on her name to see her tags.  Thank you Ms Carol, because I am draggin’ right about now and your red tag was just what I needed (that’s all I had energy for…lol).   

So..., my tag tonight, was made using Avery Elle’s Postage Die, Bo Bunny’s 6x6 paper pad-Blitzen Collection (very old paper pad), Just Right Clear Christmas Mini Tags stamp set, some Versa Mark, white embossing powder, and some brown 1/8^th Satin Ribbon.  This was a quick and super simple tag but still just as pretty as the ones that took me a couple of hours to create.    Nighty-nighty folks…

The 25 Days of Christmas Tags 2019- Day 16

Good evening my crafty friends.  We are on day 16 of Tracy McNeely’s The 25  Days of Christmas Tags.  Today’s sponsor is one of my favorites-WAFFLE FLOWER! Some of my inspiration came from design team member Carol, who did a series of tags.  Click here to see her adorable tag sets.  I really like the Polar Bears with the patterned background paper.  Try as I did, I could not find anything in my craftlab that would even come close to Carols cutesy Polar Bears with the patterned paper.  I decided to create my own “sort-of” background patterned paper…  I made a couple circle wreaths on piece of paper but didn’t like it as a whole-it was a fail (sad face).  I put a die down on the newly made patterned cardstock and like the little part of the wreath that fit into the die borders (super happy face) …and from there a tag was born.  So, thanks Carol for getting my creative juices flowing!

This is a tiny little tag.  The dimensions are 1 5/16^th x 2 9/16^th, really tiny, but cute! These are the supplies I used to create my tag: Recollections white cardstock, Stampin’ UP! Tiny Tags (flourish), Just Rite Clear Christmas Mini Tags (sentiment), Avery-Elle’s Double Pierced Rectangles dies, DeNami Designs Petit Fours, My self created circled design template,  Altenew’s Crisp Dye Inks-Crimson, Bamboo, Parrot, and Olive, I punched a hole with my Crop-A-Dile, and used some red twine to finish the job!
