Birch Tree Holiday Tags

Day eleven at Ellen Hutson's 12 Tags of Christmas is a Neutral Color Challenge.  I was inspired by Miriam Prantner's tag with the grays.  I die cut a gray cardstock tag.and put stenciled music strips on it to resemble birch trees.  I had a new die of birds by Memory Box which were the perfect size for these tags.  I stamped the sentiment (Reverse Confetti) with red ink.  I'm linking these up at:

Elf Joy Tags

I have been having fun today getting my tags done for the final three days of Ellen Hutson's 12 Days of Tags.  For day ten, the challenge was to use non-traditional colors (no red and green together).  I was inspired by the pink in Brandi's tag and the turquoise in Julie's tag.  I used stamps and tag dies from Reverse Confetti on my tags.  Colored the images with Copics and then cut them out using my Scan N Cut2.  The alphabet stickers are by My Mind's Eye.  These feisty elves are going to link up at:

Feel The Joy Tag

It is a watercolor challenge for day ten at Ellen Hutson's 12 Days of Tags.  I managed to make this tag in between ironing three hours (yep, it had piled up) and fixing a breakfast casserole.  My bunch likes to have "breakfast" suppers and I do a mean Sausage, Biscuit and Gravy Casserole.  I stamped the image on watercolor paper with a black VersaFine ink pad.  I watercolored the image using Spectrum Noir Aqua Watercolor Markers.  I applied the color to a clear acrylic block and used a small artist brush with water.  I was inspired by Kelly Griglione and the way she layered her tags.

Black and White Holiday Tags

I'm playing catch-up today for Ellen Hutson's 12 Days of Tags.  I didn't get to make tags yesterday as I finally got around to decorating our Christmas trees.  Yay!  Sometimes you have to do other things besides create in your craft room....wink.  :)  Today I woke up early to a cold and rainy day, got a cup of coffee and headed to my craft room.  Day seven's challenge was a black and white color scheme.  I was inspired by Lisa Spangler.  Once I got started making these tags, I couldn't stop!  Fun, fun, fun!

I even made 54 of the tag which says "no peeking."  Now all I need to do is start wrapping presents and use them!  :)  I'm going to link these tags up at:

Let It Snow Mugs Card

All good things come to an end and so this is my last card for the Fall/Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop.  I wanted to stay in my craft room today but my little voice (do you have one of those?) told me to "get to work."  Time to get trees decorated and rooms back in order (toting ornament boxes back to attic).  So I was good and listened to my little voice (but still would rather have been in my craft room drinking coffee and making coffee cards).  Thanks to Amy for putting together another FUN blog hop.  I've had a good time and hope you have enjoyed seeing all my caffeine fueled inspirations.  :)  Until next time........

Merry Christmas Y'all Coffee Holiday Card

I at almost at the finish line with my holiday coffee cards.  I have one more almost finished but been busy getting my trees decorated.  Decided today was the day (or else Christmas was going to be here and trees still bare...wink).  So I'll keep this short and sweet since the time for posting our coffee cards is almost up (sniff, sniff).  It has been a fun hop (like they always are)....full of beautiful cards for inspiration and fabulous prizes from generous sponsors.
