The 25 Days of Christmas Tags 2019 ~~ Day 22

I'm a day behind with my Day 22 tag but it needed intricate gluing and even the ottlite was not working for me, I needed the sunlight. Yea for sunlight today!!!  I wasn't sure I could participate in this one, I only have one set of layering dies but I remembered Jennifer MaGuire's video on Faux Layering, you will find it HERE.

This was the easiest of the tutorials I cut one each of Navy, Mid blue, light blue and following the third tutorial in the video I layered them, I added three blue rhinestones and a a ribbon, Oh and I made the loop for the ribbon too. 

Close up of the layering, next time I'm hoping it will be easie

My inspiration was:

Jennifer Svare's Tag.

Thanks for stopping by today and of course I'll be back with Day 23 soon.

25 days of Christmas Tags 2019 ~~ Day 5

For day 5 at the 25 Days of Christmas tags I chose special gueat Jen Mitchell's tag,  really loved how soft and pretty it looked, and I had a set of tree dies I really wanted to try.

The dies were a bit of a challenge to cut and I was out of dryer sheets, I must see my supplier of them to get a new stash. I have a gas dryer and it is suggested not to use dryer sheets in it.  The piece of cardstock I chose to cut the trees was double sided so I just added the "other" side to the bottom section, I used an EK punch for the bottom and instead of twine I used gold thread for the loops. The sentiment is one of my many ancient hero arts one-liner stamps, if I could only stamp them straight. I should dig out the old stamp positioner and go old school.

Here is Jen's card that I used as inspiration.

Well friends that is all for now, there is still today's tag to be done but first I have a Birthday card to make and get it in the mail on Tuesday (the PO probably ins't open)

Tag! you're it!!

Super challenge at the Jingle Belles Tag! Your'e It!! now you can make a tag or put a tag on a card, I made a tag that can be put on a card later if I happen to need an extra one.

What a fun tag to make, the fancy circle is a spellbinders die cut, I had made a bunch of distress backgrounds and the deer were die cuts left over from last year's holiday crafting, they are die cut out of some suede cardstock I picked up at the $$ store a long time ago and they feel soft.

Day 3 of the Bugaboo Holiday Chaos ~~ Anything but a Card

Of course I'm playing a couple of days behind, only a couple more days to get my project in for the Bugaboo Holiday Chaos challenge. Day 3 is to make a gift for someone, gift card holder, jar with a tag you get the idea. Well I made a gift card holder tag.

I used a bugaboo Santa, love this guy!!! I sparkled his hat,beard and socks with wink of stella. I also used some glitter scraps 

Close up of Santa, are you on his ho ho ho list?

Thanks for visiting today and are you caught up with your holiday crafts?

25 Days of Christmas Tags 2017 ~~ Day 4

I'm only a day behind with my tags now, it will be easier when I have all my equipment at home,  We had to travel home on Saturday because a bag of stuff was overlooked when we packed and one of the cat's meds were in it (duh) it was a nice drive and because I saw Day 4 I packed a couple of Snag'em Stamps in the bag. One was a pair of mittens.

I used one of the smallest tags from the package of 12 I bought at the Dollar Stop in Simcoe Ontario. I just stamped the mittens on a scrap of blue and the blue twine was taken from a bow on a button that didn't work for a project. Wow talk about using up stuff!!! since my sequins are (you know where) I used some silver/transparent glitter sticker dots from Starform. 

The Day 4 tag I chose to use for my inspiration is Jeanne Jachna

Jeanne Jachna's Day 4 tag.

Close up, I added stickles to the mitts and a blue gem to the snowflake and I used a Stitched 8 die to cut the loop for the tag.

25 Days of Christmas Tags 2017 ~~ Day 3

I'm a bit behind with my "days" Friday was an unusually busy day and we left for the cottage early evening, this weekend is last until spring. For us it's an extra weekend as we are closing it for the winter. Once home I will have all my craft supplies in one place and not have to wonder where something is. Tracy Neely at In My Creative Opinion is hosting 25 days of Christmas Tags 2017 and although I'm playing catch up it's ok, you too can jump in at any time just check out the rules HERE

There were so many to choose from but I chose Kelly Griglione's tag. Now I have a sleigh die from Marianne Creatables but of course took it home last weekend (story of my creating) but I had a white shiny sleigh but the copic marker wouldn't colour it so I did the next best thing and reversed the colours. Here is Kelly's tag.

Adorable tag love the striped ribbon.

The holly leaves are a die cut and I have no idea who's it is or where I got it from but for some reason it was here at the cottage in a box. For the berries I used glitter stickers from Starform in red/gold.

25 Days of Christmas Tags ~~ Day 2

Day 2 of the 25 Days of Christmas Tags , my inspiration for my tag was Tracy McNeely's winter scene tag from Day 2. I'm finding if I get up early enough and check out the blog I can get a tag done, it might take me most of the day since this week I'm in and out a lot.

I found pre-made tags at a dollar store there are 4 large 4 medium and 4 small tags and they come in several colours. The stag (found in my die cut box), the birch trees and the cardinals are from Impression Obsession the snowflakes are an EK mini punch. Since I didn't have time to dig around to find my tiny bells I added some blue and silver beads.

Tracy's tag.

Day 2 tag.

A closer look at my tag.

I would have loved to try to make my background but all my "stuff" isn't at home yet. This weekend is the last, I brought 3 boxes home on Monday still more as I want to do some crafting over the weekend, then the fun to find homes for everything.

Thanks for stopping by today and have a fantastic day!!!

25 Days of Christmas Tags...................

I'm going to give this challenge of 25 Days Of Christmas a whirl, not sure if I will manage to get all done but I'll give it a good try. I was impressed last year with Lindsey's great work getting all her tags done and this year she is on the design team (wootwoot) so since I follow her I will get to see her tags every day.

Here is my very first tag of the challenge and of course I chose Lindsey M-P's tag of Day 1, just because I loved the kitty in the box and I had one too.

sorry the picture isn't very good but I'm trying to do this on my desk top and I really detest Windows 10. For the background I used a 2006 background stamp by Inkadinkado the kitty in the box is Fluffles circa 2005 you see I dug deep for these stamps. The image was coloured with spica glitter pens, fussy cut ane popped up and I even made a speech bubble.

Here is Lindsey's tag.

Here are a couple more pictures of my tag.

Thanks for stopping by and stay tuned it's Day 2 tomorrow.

It's a Wrap!!!

It's a wrap for the Eyelet Outlet Christmas in July Saturdays, I missed the first two but managed to find time to make two Christmas cards and this week I have two tags for you to view.  I hope you will also find time to go to the Eyelet Outlet Blog and see what the other design team members have made for this last Christmas in July Saturday.

I used my Sizzix tag die for the base,  The tag on the left I used a unmarked house die and a small fir tree. On the house I attached a Wreath brad and a super cute Snowman brad both are from the Eyelet Outlet Store, Blue enamel dots were used to simulate snow. 

Now on the tag on the right I used Silver animal print washi tape, Swirly bling red rhinestones and a Sock Monkey with a Santa hat all are from the Eyelet Outlet store.

Closer look at the house tag.

Isn't that snowman super cute?

Well this was a little hard to photograph, the washi tape is very glittery.

The Christmas Sock Monkeys are on clearance right now just in-case you need some for your Christmas crafting.  

I hope you have enjoyed the 5 Christmas in July Saturdays and found inspiration from the project from the design team that participated. 

My term is finished but I will keep following the Eyelet Outlet Blog for awesome ideas on how to use the Eyelet Outlet Products. 

Have an AWESOME Saturday!!!
