Day 20: 25 Days of Christmas Tags



Hi there! Quickly posting another tag for 25 Days of Christmas Tags, this
time for Day 20. Cas-ual Fridays is the sponsor.
I'm using Tracey's tag as inspiration today. Here's a look at her tag.


How clever to color the back of the vellum and hilight the image.










Unto Us A Child Is Born




Hi there! How's your Thanksgiving holiday going? 
Mine is full of family and way too much eating. I treasure times like this, with
soaking in as much love and laughter as my house can hold!

I have a Christmas card for you today, made with Poppy's Nativity Scene Sidekick
Die and Stencil set.

Pop on over to the Poppystamps blog for the how to's.
This glorious die complete with stencil, makes card making super simple, and packs
a wow factor!
Blessings!

Day 16: 25 Days of Christmas Tags


Welcome  to my post for Day 16 of 25 Days of Christmas Tags.

My tag today is inspired by Emily Midgett's beautiful Nuvo Glimmered tag.



This was so much fun applying the Nuvo Glimmer paste to the tag, and I love the 
overall glittered effect.

A Merry Little Christmas


Create Along With Us and Melissa Phillips' beautiful creation:

 

Kept the layout of her card with those sweet elements peeking out 
from the oval die. Just loved how she stamped images on the oval.

Day 13 25 Days of Christmas Tags


Day 13 at the 25 Days of Christmas Tags, features Technique Tuesday.
Woe is me! I lack their product. But fell in love with this sweet cup of
peppermint cheer from Teri Anderson,


Cheery greetings picked up with some PTI products,


complete with frothy peppermint!

On to Day 14!



The Card Concept: Homestyle Holiday


Hi! It's Holiday time on the Card Concept challenge blog!


We have a rustic, homestyle holiday photo this time
to inspire us, and I was drawn to the folksy warmth and sparkle of the 
Christmas tree.


I love creating layers for a scene, and stenciling Nuvo's glitter paste on PTI's dark navy 
cardstock was the perfect start for my layered and mixed media card.
In the Meadow die (snowy hills) embossed with Stampendous: Shabby Blue Embossing powder.

what style you used to create your card. Remember, you can combine them
or use one your own!

25 Days of Christmas Tags: Day 12


It's Day 12 for the 25 Days of Christmas Tags, and the host today
is Pretty Pink Posh.
I used Jeanne Jackna's darling tag shown here, as my muse,


and used the tag's shape, and double cuties with a shaker.

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.

Christmas Tags


During PTI's last month's release, I purchased Betsy's Poinsettia & Pine tag making kit
and decided to make a bunch for a dear friend celebrating a birthday. 
What started out as half a dozen, seemed to grow as I played with colored cardstock 
and stash of Christmas sets.
I hadn't seen for awhile.


When done, I piled them inside the sweet little sleigh, complete with mini
wreath on it's front, boxed, wrapped and my gift was ready to give.

Hope my post gives you lots of inspiration. The sweet mini kit
 comes with decorator paper and dies for easy creating. I just enjoy
stamping, so these are all stamped with PTI holiday stamps.

Here's a look at the tags














I can't wait to do more. What a lovely way to spend an afternoon... crafting!

Day 3 25 Days of Christmas Tags


It's day 3 of 25 Days of Christmas Tags, and the inspiration  just keeps
coming. Today Concord and 9th are the sponsors, and I decided
to use Tenia's tag as my muse.

Here's Tenia's tag:


I love the gold rings, non traditional pink and green, shape of the tag,
well, honestly loved the whole thing!

So here's mine:


Didn't stray far from the tree rings (sorry...) with my tag.
Used the same C9 Tree Ring stamp on PTI's Quilted tag. Even added a bit of 
washi in the bottom right hand corner. Did add the tree and sentiment from 
C9's Christmas Cottage.

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! 





Day 1 25 Days of Christmas Tags


Hi everyone! It's more of '25 Days of Christmas Tags',
the brain child of my friend Tracey McNeely. 
Lots of inspiration and lots of prizes!
Day 2 and I'm using Tracey's tag as my muse.
Altenew is her guest and sponsor.


And here's my tag


I used a stamp from Penny Black, called Berry Speckled, and a tag from PTI (#10),
and sentiment from Altenew's Halftone Holiday.
