Day 8 – 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 8’s inspiration is Day 15, 2015 when the sponsor was Neat & Tangled. They closed earlier this year, but I do have a few of their products and decided to use the Nordic Trees stamps and dies from my take. I was inspired by Danielle’s clean tag – with the subtle ink blending and sequins!

Hi everyone!

Day 6’s inspiration is Day 7, 2011.

I loved that Tracey used a Cuttlebug embossing folder for this tag – I have that very same folder so I HAD to use that on my tag base! I paired it with a sweet wood-mounted stamp by Hero Arts.

Day 4 – 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 4’s inspiration is Day 13, 2020. I started playing along in 2017, so this is my first inspiration this year where I need to choose ‘something different’ – click here to see the tag I made in 2020!

This time, I chose Lindsey M-P‘s inspiration and used an older wooden stamp by Penny Black.

Winter arrangement

Hello everyone!

Today I’m playing along with the colour challenge at CAS Colours and Sketches using products from the new Penny Black release called Hello Winter!

I lightly applied spun sugar distress ink to create a focal point and then die cut the two stems from the Frosted Greens die set (51-710). I coloured them with different shades of distress ink and then lifted any green ink from the berries using water. I adhered the stems to my card base and added a container cut from pearlescent silver card (container is from the Hanging Planters die set, 51-501). Finally I stamped a sentiment from the When Snow Falls stamp set (30-881)

Thanks for stopping by!
