The 25 Days of Christmas Tags 2019- Day 11

Hey everybody, it’s late here in Texas and I need to get to bed asap.  So here it goes...  This is day 11 of The 25 Days of Christmas Tags.  You can find Tracey McNeely’s information here. 

Today’s sponsor is Studio Katia and my inspiration came from Laura Volpes’ one layer alcohol inked gift tag.  You can find her tag here. 

Things I used to make my tag- Recollections white cardstock, Distress Inks (Black Soot, Chipped Sapphire, Tumbled Glass, and Broke China), Momma Elephant stamp and die set, Momma Elephant dies Ocean Waves, Clear Star Jelly Roll pen, Sharpie Markers, Copic Markers, Just Rite Clear Christmas Mini Tags stamp set, Versa Mark, white embossing, Maya Road Clear Shimmer spray, and watered down white acrylic paint.   Well, gotta go...See y’all tomorrow.

The 25 Days of Christmas Tags 2019- Day 6

Good evening my crafty friends, 

We are on day 6 of The 25 Days of Christmas Tags hosted by Tracey McNeely. 

Click the link above to find out how you too can join in on the fun.  My day 6 tag was inspired by, wait for it…Joyce!  Noooo, not me but another fabulous person named Joyce!  That God is something else, isn’t he?!  Like I always say, all good things begin with “J” … Jesus, the Joyces, and Jack (Tennesse Honey Jack Daniels that is), lol.  The sponsor for today is “Avery Elle”! Joyce is on the Avery Elle DT.  She made this adorable little snowman tag, which you can find right here.  You are going to just love him.

Okay (handclap), so to create my tag I used some Neenah Classic Crest Solar White #80 cardstock (Copic friendly), my Avery Elle Postage Stamp Die (D-05-12), a Sun-Bonnet Sue digi stamp (from Bugaboo), a Clear Star Jelly Roll Pen, and of course my JustRite Clear Christmas Mini Tags stamp set.  I’ll use this stamp set a lot during the hop because the tags are small and there is not a lot of real estate for stamping sentiments.  Additionally, I used my Copic Markers, some gold elastic cord, and Gina K’s Amalgam ink. I have posted a couple of pics below for viewing.  I tried to capture a good angle to show the Clear Star Jelly roll sparkle on her bonnet, apron, shoes, and the dots on her package.  All done for tonight. Have a good night and see you tomorrow.   Please use e-mail: mepc99@att.net

The 25 Days of Christmas Tags 2019- Day 5

Happy Friday! and welcome back.  It is day 5 of The 25 Days of Christmas Tags hosted by Tracey McNeely and friends.  For more information and to join in on the fun click here.  Today’s sponsor is Reverse Confetti (RC).  The RC DT tags are so darn cute!  My tag was inspired by Kathy Schweinfurth, Lisa Henke, and Olga Matyushevskaya. Click the their names to go to their shaker tag post.  These ladies did “shaker tags”, just cutie-cute overload!  I think I’ve only made one shaker anything in my crafting career, so I thought it would be a good tag to try.   The supplies I used to create my little tag are: Michaels (Recollections) white cardstock and clear acetate, JoAnn’s red cardstock, JustRite Clear Christmas Mini Tags stamp set, Spellbinders Heirloom Reflections Ornament dies, silver trim (sticker), Stampin UP ticket punch (retired), silver elastic cord, micro-beads in red, green, and white, Silver Detail embossing powered, and a little Wink-of-Stella.  The micro-beads are very staticy (is that even a word? Noooo it is not!), so I created the well using foam tape plus I added some glossy accents.   Check out my little sparkling shaker tag below. Let’s go to the Hop! (showing my age…lol).   Chat tomorrow my friends… Oh yeah, until I can figure out how to correct my e-mail address when I link my tags, I'll have to put in my post manually...now that's a bummer-drag!  For any questions feel free to e-mail at mepc99@att.net.

Let It Snow Christmas Card

Hello Everyone,

Here is a quick Christmas Card.  You know it’s quick if I can complete 2 Christmas Cards in one day…lol.   This is an A2 sized card (4 ¼” x 5 ½”), made with #110 card stock for the base.  All borders are ¼ “.  I used black card stock for the mat and the focal point is a scrap piece of #110 card stock.  The back ground is made by using painters tape to cover all 4 sides and Tim Holtz Distress Inks-Blueprint Sketch and Broken China.  The greeting, sentiment, and snowflakes are all made with Just Rite Stamps “Large Fancy Holiday Sentiments”.  I used Tim Holtz Distress Ink Weathered Wood and Memento London Fog to stamp the snowflakes.  The tree stamp is from Stampin’ UP! “Lovely As A Tree stamp set.  The Greeting is stamped on 65# paper; using and I used some very old Stampin’ UP! Movers & Shapers Label die and the matching hand punch. I kept the inside very, very simple with only the sentiment.  I made a matching envelope with a few random snowflakes stamped on the front and back.  I think I saw this card on YouTube; however, I forgot to write this one down, my apologies.
