Day 4 25 Days of Christmas Tags

Back with Day 4 of 25 Days of Christmas Tags.

Today Tracey's featuring Reverse Confetti, and I was

inspired by Jeanne Jackna's bright and colorful tag,

Jeanne's project are always standouts, lots of clear bright color, and 

unmatched layered design. 

Here's my tag, using Reverse Confetti's layered tag.

Stayed with Jeanne's pink and lilac inked bg, and added Essentials by Ellen's 

Laurel Wreath dies. PTI: Corner Adorner October bow.

 The 25 Days of Christmas Tags 2018 - Day 4 

Day 1 25 Days of Christmas Tags

Hi and welcome to Day 1 of 25 Days of Christmas Tags.

I know... I posted Day 2 first. This tag, inspired by

Simon Says Stamps' Shari Carroll's GORGEOUS tag

took a bit longer  (drying time).

 Take a look at Shari's tag,

Layers of loveliness everywhere!!! And you know I love layers.

And here's my tag,

Shari has a video showing in detail how she made her tag, lots of mixed media,

layers of paper, and my favorite, topped with starry acetate.

I had no acetate with print, so I made my own with heat resistant acetate, and

snowflakes from PTI's Silver White Winters.

You can see the silver embossing in this photo. 

The strip under PTI's Wet Paint Holiday die is something from my stash 

from Martha Stewart.

Are you playing along on Tracey's blog? Lots of sponsors with LOTS

of prizes!

25 Days of Christmas Tags - Day 8

I'm playing catch-up with a trio of tags for Tracey's 25 Days of Christmas Tags.

Saw Tracey's tag she did for Sunny Studio's day, and loved the reindeer on 

the snowy tag.

My deer is from PTI, and is called Dash Away All.

Tag: PTI Holiday Tag Along.

Embossed stag with Stampendous Aged Silver.

Next embossed stag with Stampendous Shabby Pink

And one in a chalkboard style with a red embossed stag. 

Paper on bottom from Betsy's Winter Wonderland.

25 Days of Christmas Tags - Day 4

Day 4 of the 25 Days of Christmas Tags welcomes Reverse Confetti.

I went through my stash of RC to look for Christmas stamps, and 

found none! 

Not to worry, I have their Scalloped Tag Layer and Topped Off Tag,

and combined them and with the center of the 

Sand Dollar die.

Ink Sponged bg and sentiment from PTI's 2012 Holiday Tags, and done!

A perfect gift tag for a son and family that lives on the coast.

Jeanne Jackna's tag, using the Topped Off tag die, and her use of cool blue inspired me.

Honestly? Jeanne always inspires me!

Are you playing along? So many incredible sponsors and gc to each shop! 

And... the best part? Tags ready for Christmas!

Playing with Holiday Tag Along

Hi there!

Had some time this weekend and played around with Betsy's new Holiday Tag Along set.

All but one are preprinted, with die cuts from other PTI sets.

I loved Melissa's release post featuring what could be done with this sweet set,

and followed her example of decorating the pre printed tags with some images

from the umpteen other PTI Christmas sets I have.

Want to see more?

Honestly? So simple! Most of these were die cuts I saved from other  projects. I usually 

cut several at a time, just in case I flub, I don't have to stop what I'm doing to cut another image.

Spruce & Sprigs, Tinsel & Tags.

Ah, red and white, how I love you!

Quilted Winter & Fancy Snowflakes

Christmas Critters, and that holly bling in the corner, and that's it!

More fun with Christmas Crtitters, and a few greens from Spruce & Sprigs 

Christmas Faith doves and berries

Fancy Flakes and Fab Flakes.

And I think there's a few snowflakes from Quilted Winter too.

The beautiful snowflake sprig is from Quilted Winter, and I just cut an end off and 

added it to the top corner. 

The last tag is cut with the set's included dies, and a few Tinsel & Tags gold embossed die cuts.

If you look closely you can see the gold edging I added with my Deco Color gold pen.

All of these came together so easily, I can't wait to do more!

If I forgot anything please ask, I'll be happy to tell you where or how!

Thanks for visiting, and happy crafting!

Paper Sweeties November Release Rewind!

It's Rewind Time! Time to use the new stamp sets with some of 

the older!

The new Sweet Cut set, Stitched Tags #3, has a stocking and a present,

I made a group of shaker tags with the present, and the square die from

Save the Date.

The sentiment is from Mason Jar. Fits perfectly in the window!

Don't you love all the little sequins?

All available in the PS shop!

So is the colorful twine.

All glittery and filled with snow!

Love those sequin snowflakes!

Top 'bow' is cut from colored glitter paper.

Paper Sweeties October Release Party

Are you ready for a party?

Paper Sweeties is rolling out 4 new holiday stamps and a 

sweet cuts set to match one them.

It's finally Release Day, and I have a set of tags made with some

dies from the new set.

Yesterday I showed the mitten from this set.

Today it's the tree's turn!

Stitched Tags: #2 also comes with the 

darling bow you see at the top.

I handmade the tag box carrier, and decorated it with one of the trees

front and back.

Each tag is cut once from designer paper, and once from 

red and green card stock.

The ring die adds an extra special touch to the tags.

The tiny holly is from Deck the Halls.

I used PS Oatmeal seam binding, tied with twine and finished with a Strawberry

or Green Apple PS sequin. So festive!

A white gel pen can add the to and from on the solid dark tag.

They're so quick and easy to do a bunch of  them,

and the boxed set make a great hostess gift!

Tag Box dimensions: 4 3/34" x 4 1/2"

The widest part of the tree is 2".

Score each side at 1 1/4". 

I added the contrasting red corners to make the box sturdy.

Handle is 2 strips (red & green) 8 1/2" x 3/4".

Any questions, just email me. I'd be glad 2 to help.

Enjoy shopping, and don't forget to visit 

the other designers for more inspiration!
