The 25 Days of Christmas Tags 2019- Day 21

4 days left

Okay, I’m doing a count down since we are sliding-on-into-home on the 25 Days of Christmas Tags.  Click here for information on The 25 Days of Christmas Tags, hosted by Tracey McNeely.   The sponsor for today is LAWN FAWN-yeah!   My inspiration came from Lindsey, who is on the Lawn Fawn design team.  I was inspired to do a little animal tag.  Click on Lindsey's name to see her tag. 

The items I used to create my tag are as follows: Recollections (Michael’s brand) white cardstock, Bo Bunny 6x6 paper pad Yule Tide Carol Collection (2018), Crate Paper’s SNOW and COCOA stamp set, Hero Arts Poly Clear Holiday Messages and Frames, Avery Elle Double Stitched Rectangles, Tonic Studios Essentials Mixed Edge Diamond Layering Basic Die Set, Copic Markers (W1, W00, Colourless Blender), and some 1/8” Satin Ivory Ribbon.  I stamped the image using Gina K’s Amalgam ink.  I cut the image out using my Brother Scan-N-Cut.  I popped the sentiment up with some foam tape.

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…

2018 Christmas Tags

Hello and Happy Holidays!!!

I just love this time of the year.  I especially love seeing all the inspiring holiday cards and projects.  This is the last challenge for 2018 from Eclectic Ellapu and the theme is ANYTHING HOLIDAY FESTIVE, so let’s go out with Hyped Holiday Spirit! Goodness knows it’s been an extremely challenging year here in the states and all over the world.  This holiday season let peace and love be our driving force into a prosperous new year.   

For my project what better way to get this party started than by prettying up those holiday packages? I decided to do some frosted tags for my crafting group (shout out to the Texas Divine Diva’s).  I did a tag for each member in our group.  

I was inspired by a YouTube video from Wplus9 Design, which can be found here Messy Heat Embossing with Dawn ft Merriest Snowflakes

I used Wplus9’s basic concept but I modified the project a little by cutting out each of the sentiments 3 times and gluing them together to give them dimension.    I inked and foiled the tag and the snowflakes manually. 

Here are a few photos of my finished tags:

Winter Wonderland Christmas Tag

Hello everyone and Merry Christmas!
Today, I am sharing a tag that was so much fun to make!  It's a rare event for me when I have an idea and I can keep the project in that direction (lol).   I knew I wanted the tag to look rustic and have the colours of silver, blue, and white.   I am so happy with the way the tag turned out.  My inspiration for this tag came from Frank Garcia. His Christmas tags are so pretty.  I found many versions of his tags done by other crafters; however, none in the colours I had in mind. So I was somewhat on my own with this journey.  I purchased the papers at our local craft store in Waxahachie (Crafter Scrapper).  The paper is by Bo Bunny's TIS THE SEASON collection. The sheets I used were:Tis The Season Yuletide #20501706 and Tis The Season Peace #20501702. The darker print with the large snowflakes was some paper I had in the stash.  The largest tag (base) is a pre-cut chipboard tag from Heart of Texas Studio (they come 2 in a pack).  I used 2 different Tim Holtz dies to cut the other two tags out of the patterned paper.  I added some dimension to those smaller die cut tags by cutting out some 2mm Fun Foam in the same shapes (Fun Foam purchased at JoAnn's).  I used score tape to adhere the patterned paper to he fun foam.  The silver swirls were cut using Tim Holtz's Thinlets "Scribbles & Splats" and the branches are from Tim Holtz Thinlets "Holiday Greens". The deer is a Tim Holtz Alterations Movers & Shapers-"Mini Reindeer & 25 Set". I made the bow using Tim Holtz's Alterations die "Bow-Tied".  I used a Fleur-de-Lys mini background stamp on the deer and embossed with silver/gray embossing powder.  The poinsettia was cut using Spellbinders "Layered Poinsettia" #S5-055.  The bow, the scribbles, the 25, and the poinsettia are cut out of DCWV's 12 x 12 "Glitzy" Glitter Cardstock Stack (it's the smooth glitter cardstock). I used some silver 1/2" ribbon from JoAnn's and some silver flat back adhesive backed pearls that I got from Hobby Lobby.  The little blue cluster is from Michael's holiday stems.  I made the tag by using a Spellbinder's pennant die, transparent  card stock from Michaels, Staz On Opaque, dots/spots mini back ground stamp, and a (retired) Stampin Up Greeting.  And the last thing I did was to add some silver-gray seam-binding.   I absolutely love how this tag turned out. 

Here is a close-up of the greeting.  I used the STAZ ON OPAQUE die on the transparent CS,  the dots/spots mini background stamp to make it look like it was snowing on the greeting and inked the edges to give it a frosted look.   

I plan to enter my tag in the following holiday challenges:
