Let It Snow Tag

Today is day 5 at 12 Tags of Christmas With A Feminine Twist and the theme is snow.  I liked how Carissa Wiley created her snowy effect on her tag.  It inspired me to use glitter glue for an icy snow effect.  I heat embossed snowflakes on an aqua cardstock tag.  The sentiment was created with alphabet stamps on a torn edge patterned paper.  Thanks for stopping by during this busy season.  All I like is putting ornaments on our tree in the den and of course wrapping presents. My youngest will be home from college in a few days so I am trying to get it all done.  Looking forward to baking Christmas treats and spending time with my family!  :)

12 Tags of Christmas With A Feminine Twist (Day 4 -- Watercolor)

It is day 4 of Ellen Hutson's The Classroom tag event.  You can read all about it here.  Today the challenge was to create a tag and use watercolors.  I love the look of watercolor but I am not very good at it.  I am still "learning" but I do enjoy trying my hand at it.  :)  My inspiration for today is Laurel Beard's tags.  She used round tags as a reminder we do not always have to use a fancy tag die.  So I went through my dies and chose this pretty scalloped edge rectangle.  Thanks, Laurel for reminding me to look at my dies "as tags."  :)

Thanks for stopping by and visiting with me during this busy busy season.  I finally got two of my trees decorated this morning!  I did the tree in our breakfast room which is my "Santa" tree (nothing on it but Santa ornaments).  I also did the tree in the glass room which is a skinny tree with lots of varied ornaments we have collected over the years.   I still like our main tree in the den but am planning on getting it done tomorrow.....if I can tear myself away from making Christmas tags and cards.  ;)

Stamps -- Jillibean Soup (truck image) and Unity Stamp Company (sentiment)

Merry Christmas Tag

Back with a quick post....I have to get busy cooking.  My hubby said he was craving an omelet so we will be having a "breakfast" supper.  Suits me as this will be easy and I might get to work on those Christmas trees (begging to have ornaments put on them).  But then again it is Walking Dead night so maybe not.....I promise I will have them decorated before Christmas!  :)  

I did this tag for the 12 Days of Christmas December Challenge over at Power Poppy.  On day one, the challenge was tags so you know I had to play.  I don't have any Power Poppy stamps (sad but true) so I used what I had.  I wanted my tag to have a vintage feel since I felt the ones at Power Poppy had an antique feel.  Thanks for stopping by and get busy and decorate your tree.  Don't be like me and keep finding excuses not to (like making tags).  ;)

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.  ;)

Silver and Gold Merry Ornament Tags

Instead of decorating our Christmas trees today, I am making tags!  This is my first time to join in on the fun at Ellen Hutson's 12 Tags of Christmas With A Feminine Twist.  On day two, I was inspired by Keeway Tsao's ornament tags.  I liked the shape plus how she used the snowflake and word dies.  I used silver and gold foil boards for my tags which do not show up as pretty in my photo as they are in person.  (So take my word for it....they look pretty.  Wink!)  Guess I better get going.....maybe I can talk someone into helping me decorate those trees.  If not, then tomorrow is another day!  ;)

3D Christmas Star Tag

I am joining in on the fun at Ellen Hutson's 12 Tags of Christmas With A Feminine Twist.  I was so excited when I found out about it.  I love making tags!  :)  I had planned on getting our trees decorated today but instead headed to my craft room.  (I did get the trees out of the attic and set up....but the ornaments had to wait so I could make tags.  ;)  On day one, I was inspired by Jennifer McGuire's 3D die cuts tags.  I loved her tree tag but did not have a tree die.  She mentioned stars in her video so I used a Sizzix Framelits primitive star die.  I was very happy with the way this star tag turned out and both of my daughters were impressed when they saw it!  ;)

Joy Flamingo Christmas Card

This is for Sketch Saturday #492 and the sponsor is Sasayaki Glitter.  The image is called Winter Flamingos and actually has three images.  After looking at sketch #492,  I decided I wanted to use only one large flamingo and cut the other two away when I was "fussy cutting."  This was a fun card to make!  This big pink bird is going to be linking up at:
