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 23’s inspiration is Day 18, 2020. Here’s the tag I made then!
This time, one of my favourite cardmakers, Rosemary, provided my inspiration!
I used dies from The Greetery’s Pine Bough Botanicuts set plus their wood slices. I just love those pine cones!

Day 22’s inspiration is Day 19, 2012. As I’ve mentioned before, Tracey’s style was super CAS back in the day – which I love! The tag she created was super simple and I went with my own take on super simple – a single die cut image! This die from Simon Says Stamp.

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 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.

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.
Thanks for stopping by!

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!
