Annual Tags Event 4

This tag is very special.  So very special.
It features a limited time stamp set - Snow is Glistening, limited dies - Snowfall Thinlits, and the very beautiful White Velvet Paper. 

 I used the entire length of the short side of a piece of Balmy Blue cardstock to feature all the pretty snowflakes.
The largest snowflake is cut from the White Velvet paper.  It's so soft!  The layered snowflake is cut from silver foil, and the snowflake at the bottom is cut from silver glimmer paper.
 I used white embossing powder and the falling snow stamp at the top and bottom for falling snow, and fallen snow.
 You'll see these snowflakes again soon....   January!  Stay tuned.


This tag I'm featuring is definitely not traditional.  The Crumb Cake background I'm hoping gives it a vintage look.
 Winter Woods is the stamp set I used for the tree.  I really love this tree - it's so realistic looking.  The Season's Greeting is from Beautiful Blizzard, and I used the embellishments from the Santa's Workshop suite.

This tag is definitely one of my favorites, and it's going to my Great-Nephew for an early Christmas gift he must have early.
 I used some DSP for the background, colored the bow with alcohol markers, and die cut the tag, bow, and ribbon pieces from the coordinating die set. 

We needed to present some of our Teacher Assistants with appreciation gifts, and I made 5 more tags like this just not Christmas themed.  I colored the bows in Bermuda Bay, Daffodil Delight, Call Me Clover, Flirty Flamingo, and Pool Party.  Change the DSP in the background, and you have tags for any occasion!  So versatile!

Annual Tags Event 3


The first two tags featured here use the Buffalo Check Background stamp.   Take a look around... clothing, decor - the Buffalo Check is everywhere!

This tag actually came together very quickly.  You could many many of these in a very short time.  The next tag too, actually. 
 The greeting above and the reindeer below come from the same stamp/die set.  Dashing Deer has lots of options!  The two white die cuts come from the die set Stitched Labels.  Both of the sets are so versatile!


I LOVE this tag!  It took time and lots of die cuts.  So worth it in the end!  This is the tag I used 4 reds to color the poinsettia.  More about that below.  
 Everything from this tag save the Stitched Labels die come from the Poinsettia stamp set and die cuts.
I used 4 red Stampin' Blends to color this poinsettia.  Real Red Dark, Real Red Light, Cherry Cobbler Dark, and Cherry Cobbler Light.  As in any alcohol marker coloring... start with the darkest colors following the rule of shadows, and blend with the lighter colors to give dimension to plane figures.
I used Shaded Spruce Blends for the leaves.

I really LOVE candy canes.  Not just for eating, but for what they represent.  One year I bought a bunch of full sized candy canes to decorate the tree.  It looked amazing!
 The candy cane is actually punched from the flocked DSP in the Santa's Workshop Specialty DSP pack.  Everything else is stamped, and the bow is a two-step stamp. 


OH!  Christmas lights.  One of my very favorite things.  I'll use this stamp set many times... even after it retires (which I hope never happens).   The greeting is featured from a boxed set.  I made this purchase for a few reasons.  1.  Christmas stamps!  *They're my 'thing'.  2.  The box is perfect for storing all of the Stampin' Blends markers.  3.  I liked the punch shape.  It will work great for small stamps, and be a nice addition for a greeting on the fronts of cards.

Red, Pacific Point, and Gorgeous Grape.  Stamped, punched, and popped with dimensionals.  I also added Wink of Stella.  Christmas lights should sparkle!

Sending Happy Thanksgiving Wishes to you and your families!
