12 Tags of Christmas - Tag #12

 So here it is -  my 12th Tag of Christmas for Ellen Hutson's challenges found here!

The theme song for the final tag is Holly Jolly Christmas and, once again I had the perfect stamp for the challenge!

The sentiment stamp is from Festive Overlay by Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous,  the tag die is Papertrey, the holly die is Impression Obsession and the DP is Lawn Fawn.  I added some Clear Glitter Wink of Stella to the holly so it sparkles in the light.  

I also added 3 white glitter paper dots at the bottom, that were in my 'bin of bits' on my work table holding bits left over from prior projects!

I'll miss making a new tag every day but will now use them on Christmas gifts to  friends and family and can also relax and enjoy the final weeks before Christmas!

12 Tags of Christmas - Tag #11

 Only one more tag left after today's #11 tag - the theme song is "Oh, Christmas Tree" and you can see I had the perfect sentiment!   Check out this fun challenge over at Ellen Hutson's blog here.

The sample tag by Carissa Riley had a pink tree on it so that inspired me to make a pink tree too!

I die cut the tree pieces twice - from a light and a dark pink glitter cardstock.  Then made my two trees alternating the two colors.  I cut the tags out of white card and cut designer papers for the top and inside panels.  I stamped the sentiment and punched it out with a word window punch and looped a piece of pink bakers twine through the top.  I really love these trees in pink!

12 Tags of Christmas - Tag #10

Tag 10 of the 12 Tags of Christmas featured today!   Playing along with Ellen Hutson's Challenge seen here.   

Every day for 12 days there is a song theme for a tag with 2 designers posting samples to inspire us!

Tag 10's theme song is The 12 Days of Christmas.   

My tag features 4 calling birds (3 are on the DP)!  I used two different tags, layering the smaller one from Poppy Stamps over the larger one from Lil Inker Designs so I could feature the fun 'calling bird' from the 12 Days set  (on sale now!) on the smaller and patterned paper with birds on it on the larger tag.   

I colored the bird with Copics to match those on the patterned paper and drew a matching leafy vine for her to stand on while she's calling on the phone (!).  The sentiment is an Occasions Sticker.

Just a two more tags to go!

Paper: White - PTI, DP free with a crafts magazine.
Ink: True Black - PTI
Accessories: Copics 100, R27, YG03, E33, YO6, Taglet and Bow die - Poppy Stamps, Heart Embossed edge tag - Lil Inker Designs, red/white bakers twine, Occasions Stickers - Tim Holtz/Idea-ology.

12 Tags of Christmas - #9

 We're getting closer to 12 tags!  Today I have Tag #9 for Ellen Hutson's 12 Tags of Christmas Challenge.  The theme song for this tag is Deck the Halls!

For this tag, I pulled out a small stamp and die set called Corner Adorner - October that I got from Papertrey Ink probably 5 or more years ago?  They had a new 'corner adorner' design every month.  And I have NEVER used most of them - yet (!) 

  

Today I'm using the October one which fit the challenge perfectly with its adornments and sentiment!  (they still have this stamp set at PTI and it's on sale for $3! and the dies are $8) 

  

The background of my Tag Sale #3 tag is a beautiful piece of patterned woodgrain from a 6x6 paper pad called Wood Textures from Craft Consortium - it has gorgeous woodgrains in several different colors!   I added drops of Nuvo Red Berry to the greenery and looped a piece of blue/white bakers twine through the top.

I love doing challenges that get me to use my 'stuff'!

12 Tags of Christmas - #8

 The theme song for Tag #8 in Ellen Hutson's 12 Tags of Christmas challenge is "Sleigh Ride". 

I used Tag Sale: Quilted die for my tag base and layered a square of patterned paper over it for my snowy background.  The sleigh die and sentiment are from In The Meadow sets from PTI.  I stamped the sleigh die cut with Misty Morning Ink and layered the sleigh and sentiment up on foam dots.  I tied a piece of grey/white bakers twine through the top.

The tag is Tag Sale #12 from PTI.  The stamp is from Santa's Coming to Town by Waltzingmouse (retired).  (I was on Claire's Design Team so I have just about ALL of her WMS stamps!)  I added Silver Star Confetti around the sentiment.  The DP is from Honey Bee Stamps.
