Day 15 – 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 15 was Amuse: Christmas Visions. There was so much inspiration from the DT, but Tracey’s tag really stood out to me and so I just HAD to CASE it, using regular distress ink and stamps from Avery Elle and Simon Says Stamp.

Thanks for stopping by!

Day 14 – 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 14 was Concord & 9th – another company I love! They always seem to come out with the most innovative products! Unfortunately, I only appear to have one Christmas set, but it contains a fabulous tree and some wonderful bold sentiments.

I loved Tenia Nelson’s tag – especially the background. I’m not sure how she created it, but I decided to make something similar using my Distress Stains. After stamping the sentiment and the tree, I added some white chalk paint and glitter for the snow.

Thanks for stopping by!

Day 13 – 25 Days of Christmas Tags

Hi there!

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

I was so pleased to see that the Day 13 sponsor was Neat & Tangled. They released one of my favourite stamps this season – Fa La Llama. It is so cute! I loved Brianna Loefflebein’s take and used her tag as my inspiration.

I created the background using the small snowflake stamp in the set. I may have gone a little overboard, but that Delicata Cosmic Copper shimmer ink is so fabulous! I’ve tried to capture it a bit in my photo… it is so shimmery in real life!

Thanks for stopping by!

Day 12 – 25 Days of Christmas Tags

Hi there!

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

Lawn Fawn was the sponsor for Day 12. Great opportunity for me to use some of my cutesy Christmas stamps that don’t get much use at all!

Samantha C was my inspiration for this tag – I loved the colour she used for the background of her cute scene and tried to replicate it her with some distress oxide ink as I didn’t have the patterned paper!

Thanks for stopping by!

Day 11 – 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 11 was Studio Katia. I only have a couple of products by them as they are difficult to get hold of in the UK.I do however have a wonderful die set and I used that as the base for today’s tag. I love the elegant tags that Tracy Freeman created for the challenge and pulled out some products from Simon Says Stamp for my take.

I loved how Tracy used a Spectrum Noir Sparkle pen on her poinsettia, and wanted to add some glitter to mine. I applied Stickles with a paint brush at a card class a few weeks ago and decided to see whether the Tonic Studio Nuvo glitter drops could be used in the same way. I’m happy to say that I ended up with lovely glittery petals! So difficult to capture in a photo!

Day 10 – 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 10 was Winnie & Walter and the DT had come up with tons of amazing tags! I took the snowman tag that Tracey had made and used that as my inspiration for my little scene!

I stamped the images and then masked them before creating my Distress Oxide background. After I had applied a generous amount of water droplets to the background, I removed the mask and coloured the images with my Twinkling H2Os. This was another super quick tag to make – even thought the mask for the branch was rather fiddly!!!

Thanks for stopping by!
