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!

The 25 Days of Christmas Tags 2019- Day 12

Hello my friends, thank you so much coming back to see me.  We are on day 12 of The 25 Days of Christmas Tags hosted by Tracy McNeely. We are half-way through and I am still hanging in there posting a new tag each day!  There is still time to jump on board and just in case you are interested in doing so; you can click here for the details.  Today’s sponsor is STAMPlorations! 

My tag was inspired by Carol from the STAMPlorations design team.  Carol did two cute tags, just click on her name to check them out.  Tag 1-Stitched Snow Hills Reindeer and Tag 2 she called a Majestic Deer.  Both are really, really nice.  I especially liked the Majestic Deer.
  
My tag was made using the following supplies: Base tag is Craft cardstock cut with an Avery-Elle’s Double Stitched Rectangle Die, I used Basic Grey’s Jovial 6x6 pattern cardstock, and Hampton Arts #SC0712-Reindeer stamp and die set, The sentiment and the background are from the same stamp set.  The back ground is stamp with Versa Mark.  All edges (base tag, deer, and sentiment) are inked with Tim Holtz Walnut Stain Distress Ink, I used Gina K’s Amalgam ink to stamp the sentiment.  I completed the tag by punching a whole with my Crop-A-Dile, adding a 1/8” black eyelet, and adding some natural Jute.  Note: to make the Reindeer stand out, I cut  him out 2 times in Craft cardstock and once in the patterned cardstock and layered them together.   The sentiment is popped up on foam tape.  I love the rustic feel.  So pleased with this one!   I believe that is it for tonight.  Thanks again for stopping by.
