Day 2 – 25 Days of Christmas Tags 2018

Hi there!

I’m playing along with Tracey McNeely’s 25 Days of Christmas Tags event this year.

The sponsor for Day 2 was Altenew. I love Altenew and have all their inks and quite a few florals and dies… but not that many Christmas stamps. I really want the new ornament stamp set, but I’ve managed to resist…. so far…

I loved the inspiration tags and decided to use Svitlana Shayevich‘s tag as inspiration – I offset my stamped image (from the Sketched Evergreen set) and used the same colour palette as Svitlana.

Thanks for stopping by!

Day 1 – 25 Days of Christmas Tags 2018

Hi everyone!

Last year, I played along with Tracey McNeely’s 25 Days of Christmas Tags for the first time. I was so happy to complete 25 tags during November 2017 and it made a HUGE difference to my Christmas preparations…. and stress levels!

I’m so happy to see the event is back again this year! Once again, each day has a sponsor and I am going to try to use products from each sponsor wherever I can.

Simon Says Stamp was the sponsor for Day 1 and once again the inspiration tags were amazing. In the end, I chose to combine the tags made by Lorraine Aquilina and Lin Brandyberry. All dies and stamps are by Simon Says Stamp.

Day 25 – 25 Days of Christmas Tags

WOO-HOO! I made it to Day 25 of Tracey McNeely’s 25 Days of Christmas Tags event, people! My Christmas Eve should be much calmer this year as I won’t be rushing to finish my tags! Mind you, I’ll probably be rushing to finish something else instead though!

The sponsor for Day 25 was Pink & Main. There was so much inspiration from the DT – so many beautiful tags! Pamela Peese’s tag really stood out to me and so I just HAD to CASE it, using regular distress ink and stamps from Create a Smile and Hero Arts.

Thanks for stopping by!

Day 24 – 25 Days of Christmas Tags

Hi there!

I’m playing along with Tracey McNeely’s 25 Days of Christmas Tags event this year.

The sponsor for Day 24 was Right at Home. There was more great inspiration in the gallery and I particularly loved the tag that Tracey created for this day! As I don’t have many Right at Home products, I used a die from Impress Cards and stamp from Simon Says Stamp for my take.

Thanks for stopping by!

Day 23 – 25 Days of Christmas Tags

Hi there!

I’m playing along with Tracey McNeely’s 25 Days of Christmas Tags event this year.

Pretty Pink Posh was the sponsor for Day 23. Such fabulous inspiration from the DT too! Unfortunately, I don’t have any PPP stamps as I haven’t found a UK supplier, but I do have A LOT of PPP sequins so I knew I wanted to do a shaker tag. I was inspired by the cute purple tags that Amy Yang created.

For my take, I used the stamps and dies from the Hero Arts’ November My Monthly Hero kit and distress inks to create the tag. The sequins are from PPP’s beautiful Winter Sparkle mix.

Day 22 – 25 Days of Christmas Tags

Hi there!

I’m playing along with Tracey McNeely’s 25 Days of Christmas Tags event this year.

The sponsor for Day 22 was Stamplorations. Linda Walmsley was my inspiration for this tag – I loved how she created her tag on a kraft base!

As I don’t have any festive stamps by Stamplorations, I used one of my little-used Penny Black sets. Don’t know why it doesn’t seem to get much use – don’t you think the tree is fabulous? I didn’t have any red embossing powder for the sentiment so I decided to try my new red Delicata ink. Just look at that fabulous shimmer! Love these inks! I am so happy they are producing more colours!

Thanks for stopping by!
