Day 10 – 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 10’s inspiration is Day 21, 2016.

This was pretty challenging for me but I remembered my Poppystamps Cat Friends stamp set and decided to take Channin’s inspiration and the kitties in stocking image for my tag. I adhered some patterned paper to the main section of the stocking – haven’t done paper piecing for a while and this was fun!

AAA Cards Along the edge with snowflakes twist

Hello everyone!

It’s also time for another challenge at AAA Cards!  This fortnight we’d like you to create a CAS card using just an edge of your card. Our optional twist is ‘snowflakes’.

I always seem to use blues and purples with white when I make snowflake cards so I’ve changed it up today and have used kraft! All products are by Penny Black – I used the snowflake edger die from the Spirited die set (51-721) – the partial snowflakes on the edger die are replicated in full in the Dancing Snowflakes die (51-708), so I cut them out and added them on top using tiny bits of foam. Finally, I stamped a sentiment from the When Snow Falls sentiment set (30-881) before adhering this to my kraft card base.

My team mates have come up with some beautiful cards which are on the AAA Cards challenge blog. We are also joined a previous challenge winner, Jane, who has some sweet inspiration on her instagram feed!

Hope you can play along with us!

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!

Day 6 – 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 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.
