On the eleventh day of Christmas
The CLASSroom gave to me
A perfect tag design by
the amazing Kittie!
Maybe you saw
my post yesterday with my first six tags for the
12 Tags of Christmas with a Feminine Twist over at the Ellen Hutson CLASSroom. I love this special event they have every year so I squeezed some time in to play along. Especially after I'd seen
Kittie's tag design for day 11 . I grabbed STAMPlorations
Luggage Tags dies and made some tags.
Now before I move on to days 7-12, can you say "Dumbkopf"? That was me yesterday in my rush to get tags made, photographed (in this various shades of gray weather we're having) and blogged. Posted Day 7's tag as Day 3's cuz it has foil too. Duh. Meet my actual tag for Day 3, that was inspired by Joni's foiled spotted deer. I applied rubber cement through SSS Falling Snow stencil, let it dry, then burnished foil onto the dots with my bone folder, Added a strip of double sided tape and more foil where the PP meets the tag and topped it off with an Essentials by Ellen
Merry and Bright die cut...
I'm hooking this tag up at Simon Says Stamp
November Work it Wednesday - Dies and Simon Says Stamp
Wednesday challenge - Gift It. I think a gift tag counts.
Moving on...
Day 7
These ladies had a nice striped sketch - I CASEd Melania's tag - and having just foiled for the first time (tag up top) I pulled out double sided tape, laid it onto the black tag and then burnished gold foil onto it. Easy. Hard to photograph. Stamp set: MFT
Hand Lettered Holiday Die: SSS
Poinsettia Parade
Day 8
Inspired by Carly's colorful inspiration piece from Margaret Berg and adding a touch of Ashley Goldberg's style I made this one-layer tag with a vellum overlay. I chose to use a camper image to play along with
The Heart Desires Challenge #7. I inked the trees up with Distress inks and spritzed them before stamping. Stamp set: Artemio, Precious Remembrance
Sketchy Christmas
Day 9
White = Elegant. I can't seem to go all elegant, gotta have a touch of playful. I heat embossed trees and a house on the tag. You can barely see the gold glow I added to the house windows and door. Added a couple snowy hills, dry embossed. And snuck the gold antlered deer and his family in too. Stamp set: Neat and Tangled
Winter Wishes Die: MFT
Snow Drifts and Memory Box
Deer Trio
I'm joining the fun at Little Tangles -
Silver and Gold. Not sure if you can see it but the silver is on the deer edges so you can see them in all the white. The gold is on the antlers, the house and the heat embossed sentiment. And at Memory Box -
Marvelous Metallics too.
Day 10
Inspired by the the girls' use of kraft this tag was born. Used pigment and dye inks in greens. Stamp set: Winnie and Walter
Winter Woodland and MFT
Hand Lettered Holiday
I'm joining the
Rerun fun at Winnie and Walter, although I chose the pine needle bough from Winter Woodland instead of Hollie's Festive Florals. I loved the natural look of Heather's card - kraft and twine.
Day 11
Kittie's tag for this day inspired my design for most of my tags. Love the PP on top, dry embossing on the bottom and a focal image. Unfortunately I don't have a wreath that would have looked the right size on this tag. And I was too lazy to create my own. Thus the ornament. Stamp set: Waltzingmouse Die: Spellbinders
Day 12
Inspired by the beautiful color palette and motivated to play in
Where Creativity Meets C9 "Winter" challenge I made another tag with vellum overlay. Soft stone tag with world map stamped in khaki. White heat embossed snowflakes falling onto the world. Heat embossed and snipped sentiments atop the vellum overlay. Stamp set: Concord and 9
Map Love and Poppystamps
Holiday Hoopla
Whew! Thanks for checking out my tags. Hope you are having a wonderful Advent and not getting too stressed out. We're off for more Christmas cheer this evening. Might even be carol singing... I wish you and yours - and all of us the world over - peace, love and joy this holiday season.
