25 Days of Christmas Tags -- Star "Peace" Tag


Can you believe it is already day eleven of 25 Days of Christmas Tags?  This month is flying by!  I have been making Christmas cards this weekend but took a few minutes to make this tag.  I am determined not miss a day at 25 Days of Christmas Tags.  ;)  I was inspired by Carol Mayne's pretty peace star tag.  I knew it would make a fast and easy tag since I had all the elements to make it (star die and peace word die).  I used patterned paper for the word die to save time.  I could see making several of these to adorn cards and packages during the holiday season.  I'm linking this peaceful star at:

25 Days of Christmas Tags -- Let It Snow Tag


Today is day ten at 25 Days of Christmas Tags and the sponsor is Studio Katia.  I was inspired by Dana Gong's cute tags with penguins.  I used a set by Hello Bluebird called Frosty Friends.  I used Distress Oxide ink pads to color my tag and Copic markers to color the stamped images.  I hope you are enjoying your weekend.  I'm enjoying mine with family, college football and creating in my craft "cave."  My penguin tag is going to link up at:

25 Days of Christmas Tags -- Merry Christmas Wreath Tag


The weather has finally turned cold plus it was cloudy and rainy today.  Yes, that is perfect tag making weather and I took advantage of it.  ;)  For day nine at 25 Days of Christmas Tags I was inspired by  Andrea Shell's tag.  I like how she used die cuts plus patterned plaid paper to make a simple but pretty tag.  I used my Silhouette Cameo to cut the wreath and bow on my tag.  The star sequins are by Jillibean Soup and have been in my stash a while.  The sentiment die cut word is borrowed from a friend so no idea who made it.  The organdy ribbon is by American Crafts.    Thanks for taking time out of your busy day to check out my tag.  Check back often this month to see more as I have fun making tags at 25 Days of Christmas Tags.  I'm going to link this one at:

25 Days of Christmas Tags -- Jolly Ho Ho Ho Tags


Thanks for stopping by to see my tags for day eight of 25 Days of Christmas Tags.  Today I was inspired by Linda Walmsley's cute tag.  I liked her Santa image with the ho ho ho sentiment and also the traditional Christmas colors.  I did the ho ho ho tag first and was having so much fun I made another one.   All the images on my tags are by Picket Fence Studios (Santa's Mischief set) except for the small "believe."  It is a Essentials by Ellen stamp.  I colored the images with Copics.  My tags were cut with the Silhouette Cameo.
Another busy day for me so it was nice getting to be creative and relax a few minutes in my craft room.  Got to dash off as it is nearly time to fix dinner.  My bunch likes a hot meal....go figure.  ;)  My jolly ho ho ho guys are going to link up at:

25 Days of Christmas Tags -- Fa La La Ornament Tag


Another rainy day which is perfect weather to get crafty!  Today is day seven at 25 Days of Christmas Tags and I was inspired by Eloise Blue and her ornate ornament tag in traditional Christmas colors.  I used my Silhouette Cameo 3 to create this tag.  After adhering the red and green cardstock shapes together I applied a small rub-on word and tied some tinsel trim at the top.  Easy peasy which will be nice around the holidays when things are hectic.  I'm thinking ahead too and next time I think I will mix up the colors.   Maybe a blue and green....or a lime green and bright pink....oh, the possibilities are endless.  Thanks for stopping by to visit.  I hope your day is going well and you find some time to be creative.  I'm linking this singing ornament up at:

25 Days of Christmas Tags -- Joy Tag


After a very busy day, I managed to grab a few minutes in my craft room to make a tag for day six at 25 Days of Christmas Tags.  I was inspired by Debbie Marcinkiewicz's striking "merry" tag with the holly leaves.  I loved how the white word stood out and the pretty holly leaves on the black cardstock.  I'm linking this tag up at:

25 Days of Christmas Tags -- Red Gingham Tags


I managed to make two tags this morning before I had to run a bunch of errands and go to the grocery store.  Let's just say making these tags was WAY more fun than running errands and grocery shopping.  ;)   I have to tell you a funny story about these tags.  Newton's Nook is the sponsor for day 5 at 25 Days of Christmas Tags so I wanted to use stamps by them.  They have new Christmas stamps and I placed an order for a couple of stamp sets (and a CUTE stencil) last week.   I was wishing they were here when I started designing because I didn't have but one Christmas set by Newton's Nook.  Looking through my sets I saw Newton's Nook unicorns and thought "peppermint kisses and mistletoe wishes" sounded like something a unicorn would say (IF a unicorn could talk....wink).  So I went to work....and before I finished the unicorn tag, my hubby brought the mail home.  AND my Newton's Nook stamp order was IN....so I HAD to make another quick tag with the sheep and "fleece Navidad" sentiment.  I couldn't get over what a lucky mail day it was and how fast my order had been shipped....WIN, WIN!  ;)  For day five, I was inspired by Zsofia Molnar's tag.  I was drawn to the red gingham paper with snow mounds at the bottom of her tags.  I did a major happy dance when I found the red gingham paper in my stash (from a My Favorite Things paper pad of gingham).  Thanks for visiting today and stop often this month as I join in at the fun at 25 Days of Christmas Tags.  I'm linking these tags up at:
