Day 21 – 25 Days of Christmas Tags 2021

Hi everyone!

As Tracey McNeely isn’t running her 25 Days of Christmas Tags event this year, I have created my own event using 25 days from Tracey’s event posts over the last decade, as I explained in this post.

Day 21’s inspiration is Day 13, 2018. Here’s the tag I created then.

I was inspired by Kim’s colourful fairy lights and used a die set from Marianne Designs for my tag. It took a while to stick all those little glitter pieces and get them in an order where two of the same colours weren’t too close!

The sentiment is by Technique Tuesday.

Day 20 – 25 Days of Christmas Tags 2021

Hi everyone!

As Tracey McNeely isn’t running her 25 Days of Christmas Tags event this year, I have created my own event using 25 days from Tracey’s event posts over the last decade, as I explained in this post.

Day 20’s inspiration is Day 21, 2011. Oh my goodness! I just adore all those little reindeers in Tracey’s tag! Aren’t they aadorable?!

I’m still very puzzled as I’m sure I had a little reindeer family stamp, which would have been perfect for today’s tag, but I can’t seem to find it! So instead I use a fun stamp set that I picked up during one of my trips to the US- it’s called Reindeer Fun and it’s by TPC Studio

Day 19 – 25 Days of Christmas Tags 2021

Hi everyone!

Day 19’s inspiration is Day 13, 2011. I LOVED that red background and used the Birch Press Design Frosty Flake layering set for my take.

Pink, grey and silver forest

Hello again everyone!

Next up today is my entry for this week’s Color Throwdown challenge, which has one of my favourite combos – pink, grey, silver and white.

I used the gorgeous Wispy Trees by The Stamp Market, stamped with distress oxide inks. I added a few strips of silver glitter paper and some silver thread to add some different textures as well as a bit of festive bling! Finally I stamped a Mama Elephant sentiment to complete my card.

Bird in a Wreath

Happy Monday everyone!

Today I’m playing along with this week’s Freshly Made Sketches challenge with Penny Black products.

After smooshing some distress ink onto my card base, I added the Whirl Wreath (51-151) and coloured the berries with a white coloured pencil. I then coloured the bird from the Nestled die set (51-722) using distress inks and nestled him into the wreath! For the other two elements of the sketch, I used the branch from the Peaceful Pines die set (51-705).

Interestingly the sentiment caused me the most problems! Everything I tried seemed to big or too small…. When I was rifling through my older Penny Black sets, I spotted the fabulous word tree in the older Season’s Wishes set (30-201) (it’s from 2013 but still available). I used a couple of post it notes to mask off the sentiment above and below the ‘Season’s Greetings’ part of the tree, and stamped! I really liked how it turned out so I was was pretty pleased to have found that sentiment!

Day 18 – 25 Days of Christmas Tags 2021

Hi everyone!

As Tracey McNeely isn’t running her 25 Days of Christmas Tags event this year, I have created my own event using 25 days from Tracey’s event posts over the last decade, as I explained in this post.

Day 18’s inspiration is Day 2, 2012. I liked Tracey’s inspiration but I wanted to see her own inspiration so off I went on a Google search! As I was scanning images, I spotted these beautiful tags by Heather Nichols, so I decided to used those for my take. I used a circle frame die from The Greetery and a wonderful old wood-mounted stamp by Amuse Art Stamps!
