Season's Greeting Tags

Instead of decorating my trees today, I headed to my craft room and made tags.  I did get the ornament boxes out of the attic so maybe tonight or in the morning....baby steps I guess.  :)    I'm having too much fun making tags for the 12 Tags of Christmas With A Feminine Twist over at Ellen Hutson's Classroom blog.  Today I was inspired by Julie Ebersole's tag.  I liked how she used a felt tree on kraft cardstock with baker's twine at the top of her tag.  I have always admired how white looks on kraft cardstock so I heat embossed my sentiments.  I cut small red felt trees with a Sizzix Framelit die.  Julie attached her felt tree on her tag by sewing. Since my felt trees were very small I decided to staple them on with Tim Holtz mini staples.  I topped each tree with a single green sequin.  I put a Christmas mix baker's twine in the top of my tags.  I cut too many trees and had a couple of white cardstock tags laying on my desk so made them up too with a green ink.  You can never have too many tags at Christmas. (My girls like to help themselves to my crafty works).  :)  These were simple to make but I really like how they turned out.  Thanks for stopping by this busy time of year and who knows I might have my trees decorated the next time you visit.  ;)

25 Days of Christmas Tags (Day 12 -- Lawn Fawn)

I'm joining in on the fun again at 25 Days of Christmas Tags for Day 12.  If you are a newbie like me, then you can read all about it here.  Today's guest was Lawn Fawn.  I was inspired by all the cute tags with Lawn Fawn animals on them.  I didn't have a Lawn Fawn Christmas set but had their Critters In The Forest set. I have had this set a long time and had never even opened it.   I drew the Santa hats with a black liner pen so the animals would look more festive.  I also diecut red felt for the base of my tags.  I used my typewriter again to create the sentiments on each tag.  Hope you are having a good afternoon.  It is rainy here and I have settled in to watch a movie and cuddle with one of my "fur" babies. These will also be playing at the Lawn Fawnatics Challenge of using your oldest Lawn Fawn set.
