Annual Tags Event 1

I'm sending out a few posts with tags.  There were a total of 10 tags for this event.  With all of the DSP and gorgeous stamp sets out in this Holiday catalog, I could have kept going for many more designs.  Because of time constraints and other responsibilities, I kept it to 10 designs.

 Designer Series Paper, die cuts, stamps, punches, and alcohol markers were the tools for this tag.

 The North Pole pole was stamped, colored with alcohol markers, and highlighted with Wink of Stella for some sparkly snow.  I popped the bottom piece with a dimensional.
One comment I'd like to make about using the Stampin' Blends Alcohol Markers... ALWAYS buy and use the combo packs.  To get the beautiful shading of alcohol markers, you must use at least 2 colors.  On an upcoming tag, I use 4 different reds, and the effect is amazing!

 Look how perfectly the Santa turned out!  He is cut with the die from the Designer Paper!  Stampin' Up! is coordinating the DSP and the die cuts for more options.  LOVE it!  He is perfect.  The background paper is flocked so the white stripes have a fuzzy feel to them.

 This tag features an old (returning) stamp, and a hostess stamp set.  I just love Christmas stockings!
I used Shaded Spruce, and Real Red to stamp the stockings.  The greeting is punched out and added with a dimensional.  A simple, but very pretty tag.

Christmas Poinsettias

Such a strange thing... I LOVE to craft with Poinsettias.  I dislike them intensely in my house!  No, it's not because I have cats.  I do think they're beautiful - I just don't like them in my house.  I know...a very strange thing.

In addition to the Peaceful Poinsettia Bundle, I used the greetings from Timeless Tidings. 

 This card has many layers.  Some you can see, and some you have to search for.

 Here you can see the matching Shaded Spruce die cuts.  Details, details, details!  I really like this card.  Every time I run into it on my craft desk it makes me happy.

The interior of the card is stamped with pieces from the Timeless Tidings Stamp set.

Two Simple, Quick Christmas Cards

Here I am presenting two quite simple cards.  They didn't take long at all.  It took more time to decide what color to make the ornaments than to stamp both cards.

~ and the stockings were hung ~ comes from the hostess stamp set Hung with Care.  When I saw the sample from the catalog, it struck me that the ornaments could hang from that too - even though the words don't seem to exactly work perfectly - it's a good spot to hang the ornaments from!
You'll see this again - I have other ideas for the ornaments.

This card also came together very quickly!  It took the longest to decide which blue ink to use for that blue stocking!  Blueberry Bushel worked out perfectly. 

I added a touch of Wink of Stella, and some rhinestones colored with the Stampin' Blends.  On the inside, a small red stocking hangs from the Merry Christmas greeting.
