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!

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!

Hi there!

I was so pleased to see that the Day 8 sponsor was Sunny Studio. I got their layered bell set last year and I absolutely love it. In fact, I love all their layering stamps – I find them so easy to line up! Anyway, when I looked at the DT designs, I really like how Francesca Vignoli had used a couple of stamps and a bold sentiment in her tags and that served as my inspiration!
I inked up my beloved bell – and then added the pine branch and bold sentiment from the same Sunny Studios set. To finish off the tag, I added some stickle for a bit of sparkle!
Thanks for stopping by!

Hi there!
I’m playing along with Tracey McNeely’s 25 Days of Christmas Tags event this year.
Birch Press Design was the sponsor for Day 7, which was a little problematic for me. I have a few dies and stamp sets by them, but nothing festive and I’d made a decision at the start of this challenge that I was going to stick to my Christmas supplies – as I have SO MANY of them! So, I decided to use some Memory Box dies and stamps as I think it is a sister company.
Tracey herself was my inspiration for this tag – I’m pretty pleased with how the snowflakes in the set layered up!
Thanks for stopping by!

Hi there!

Altenew was the sponsor for Day 5 – and I have a LOT of Altenew goodies! After perusing the fabulous inspiration from the DT, I decided to base my tag on one made by Erum Tasneem.
I used silver shimmer Delicata ink with the largest star stamp in the Halftone Stars stamp set and paired it with part of a sentiment from the Sketched Evergreen stamp set. This was probably the quickest tag I did (excluding the time it took for me to find my matching star dies, that is!)

Hi everyone!
Although I’m not quite ready to say au revoir to my Autumn stamps just yet, when I saw this week’s sketch for the Freshly Made sketches challenge, I wanted to create a Christmas card with it.
I pulled out a couple of my older Hero Arts Christmas stamps and got to work! I stamped the tree background image with distress oxide ink and then embossed it with clear powder. I masked off the white trees and then blended a mix of regular distress ink and distress oxide ink. The sentiment is from a wood-mounted set. I love my clear stamps, and the convenience of the MISTI, but sometimes you just can’t beat those wood-mounted stamps can you?! After I had embossed it, I even used a circular punch to cut it out. Totally retro crafting session today! Anyway, I mounted it to a gold circle and called the card done!
Thanks for stopping by!
