-The 25 Days of Christmas Tags 2020 ~~ Day 19

 My plan is working I made two tags today the current day on the same day and one other tag. Things are looking up. For todays tag I was inspired by Alix Davis's unconventional use of a heart shape for her tag and knew I just had to make one. 

I used a super cute Bugaboo image which I popped up with foam dots.  In my punch drawer (s) found this super cute snowflake stamp although Alix spattered with white paint and added enamel dots, I'm  useless at the spatter thing and had no tiny enamel dots. 

Here is Alix's tag

Thanks for visiting today and have a great day.

The 25 Days of Christmas Tags 2020 ~~ Day 18

Wow the first time I made a tag on the current day, I was so inspired by Rosemary Dennis's tag I had to dig out my Tim Holtz Big Z with the greenery on it. I also used some "greenery" from Stampin'up's Pretty Pines set as I was using the pinecones as well, I think I used the pine cones last years. The sponsor for day 18 is Jillian Vance Design and there is a prize. 

I love the neutral colours although they are not one of my go to colours Rosemary's tag just drew me in, and the fact I could use stuff I've not used in a long while, I can't tell you the last time I used the TH die. it has a flower you roll (hahaha) it never happened for me.

Here is Rosemary's Tag

The 25 Days of Christmas Tags 2020 ~~ Day 14

One day closer to catching up!! Day 14 I loved both the super cute Gingerbread Houses but picked one that was closer to the die I have had for over a year and I've only used the gingerbread figures.  Lawn Fawn is the sponsor for day 14 and I picked Jenn Shurkus's  tag.

I added a couple of shiny snowmen stickers to the front it really looked bare and I didn't have any "candy" to put on it, If I had thought ahead I couldn't have used some sucker brads from the Eyelet Outlet but It was finished with a second layer to make the tag more stable. The wreath and red dots as well as the bow are from the same set, I cut the roof and step out of some sparkly cardstock.

Here is Jenn's tags

these tags are just adorable.

The 25 Days of Christmas Tags 2020 ~~ Day 13

 I'm still behind, slowly catching up although my plan to do the day's tag and one other hasn't worked so far, but there is till time. So for day 13 so many cute tags to choose from but I immediately saw Karen Bull's tag and was so excited to see a truck, I have a truck die and have used it once, well there are many, many pieces to attach together (good job the back doesn't show LOL) 

I popped up the fenders, Merry Christmas is a sticker.

Here is Karen's tag.

Isn't her tag just adorable.

The sponsor for the day is Paper Smooches.

The 25 Days of Christmas Tags 2020 ~~ Day11

 Had a small marathon on Wednesday and managed to get 3 tags done,  So many to choose from on the blog. Day 11 sponsor is Birch Press Design, check them out they have awesome layered dies. I chose Desiree Kuemmerle's tags as inspiration,  I had used a layering die earlier this year and of course because I cut 3 of each die I had leftovers, it was fab. I put them in an envelope and saved them for later use.  I only used the center of the diecut so saving the other two pieces for a later date. 

I used an Elizabeth Craft Designs Hexagon die to make a folded tag.  Gluing the layers together was a task because as I mentioned before I have a fur baby that thinks no matter what I am doing she wants to see it close up.  I added a gem to the center of the snowflake, I love the Kraft and blues together. I'm wondering as the inspiration tag didn't have a sentiment what are your views on adding a small sentiment to the tag as my snowflake doesn't cover as much as Desiree's? 

A close up of the snowflake, it's so pretty. 

Here is Desiree's Tag.

The 25 Days of Christmas Tags 2020 ~~ Day 10

 Back again today with Day 10 of the 25 Days of Christmas Tags 2020,  I was inspired by Ardyth's tag with the super cute gnome, It gave me a chance to use a NBUS gnome stamp and die set. (more practice with the dies is in order)  The sponsor for the day is Reverse Confetti.

The Merry I used is a self inking set I bought many years ago at Winners, I have since lost the company name, I have used these a lot, I have two sets each with 8 stamps, I am amazed on how long they have lasted. The work perfect for tags and small areas. 

Here is Ardyth's Tag.

The 25 Days of Christmas Tags 2020 ~~ Day 9

 It's Day 11 at the 25 Days of Christmas Tags and I am on day 9 (with a couple to catch up) I'm still trying to do the day's tag and one other but so far it hasn't worked, The weather has been so nice and I have tried to spend some time outside raking leaves.  Today is also Remembrance Day here in Canada although it will be a distanced one, no service at our Cenotaph, it seems to be all or nothing.  I'm happy to stay home. 

Day 9 I picked out Kathy Schweinfurth's tag, it was colourful and it gave me a chance to use (for the first time) a gingerbread man die. It had a face you could put on it but that was scary looking so I did my own decorating. The sponsor for Day 9 is Pink & Main.

I added the dots for the eyes and put the pupils on with a marker, the buttons are also dots glued on, the mouth is made with Nuvo drops. I really liked her knit layer and I used an embossing folder to emulate it. The sentiment is from Hero Arts.

Here is Kathy's tag.
