November Rudolph Days!!!

Things have been so crazy with making tags for the 25 Days of Christmas Tags I found myself running late with the Rudolph Days Challenge and I've entered every month since January so didn't want to miss it this year.  My son and daughter-in-law invited me to join them at the sushi restaurant today and even though I didn't have time I made it, family first is my motto, I got home in time to make a card.

Not sure if it is the camera or my lack of photography skills, even using a photo box and ottlite I can't get a good picture. The background embossing folder is Falling solftly from Stampin'up and the poinsettia is Tattered poinsettias from Tim Holtz. It make such a beautiful large cover a card poinsettia. Merry Christmas is a sticker. 

You can see the beautiful red colour of the flower, I used some metalic poster board I bought at Dollar Tree, sadly they haven't had it the last 6 or more months. Happy I  bought one every time I was there so I have a bit of a stash. (the gold is the first used though)

Thanks for visiting  and stay safe if you are in the line of the bad weather.

The 25 days of Christmas Tags 2019 ~~ Day 26 bonus day.

I didn't get a chance to make my card on the day but there are a couple of days to get caught up. I'm very happy I kept up for the most part. This weekend is going to be a crafting weekend, Saturday because I needed to get things done, but Sunday it will be weather induced.....there is some freezing rain in the forecast. My inspiration was a tag from Susie Lessard from Hello Bluebird.

So pretty in white, I used several die sets, Pretty pines, a holly branch, and the bow from a wreath die set. I even use nuvo drops, and they look pretty good.

Here is Susie's Tag.

What's New Today? A New Challenge at the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers!!

Y is for Yummy at the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers for the next two weeks.  I decided to use a house mouse stamp for my Yummy card,  but I just didn't have any snark to put on it, they are too adorable. It is also a change from the Christmas Tags I've been making.

Maxwell is in the jar hogging all the jelly beans, they are my yummy item, I really like jelly beans but as you see there are only the colours I like. My #1 fav. is Jelly Bellys, I eat them slower as I want to taste each flavour. The dies I used are from Elizabeth Craft Designs.

Finished the inside with one of my favourite sentiments which is good for any occasion that happens only once a year. Added a scrap of patterned paper  to the inside as well.

I hope you are up for the Y is for Yummy challenge and perhaps you will be able to add a bit of snark. If you want to have snarky inspiration head over to the Main Blog and check out the Design Team cards.

Thanks for stopping by today and have an awesome weekend.

25 Days of Christmas Tags 2019 ~~ Day 25

It's finally here.......Day 25 at the 25 Days of Christmas Tags 2019...wow I made all 25 days it has been a fun 25 days, well some were a little stressful when I had to have a tag-a-thon.  For Day 25 I had three but only one got finished today....there is hope for a couple more before the challenge is called DONE.

I used a layered tree die I have had for many years, I like it because you can have a tall tree or a shorter on. I added gold triangles that were stuck on my table leftover from the pine cone tag I made a few days ago, the star is a sequin. 

Close up so you can see the gold diamonds and I did pop 3 of the layers up on pieces of pop dots.

My inspiration came from Ilda Dia's tag

25 Days of Christmas Tags 2019 ~~ Day 24

It was a busy day today for me, I made two tags!! I didn't even get started until late afternoon, I'm feeling pretty good about it. I can't believe it's day 24 already, I have had so much fun deciding which tag to use as inspiration, I'm also happy I have kept up for the most days. Well the sponsor for today has such super cute almost retro stamps and diecuts, little shops which reminded me of  my Christmas village. For today's inspiration I used Cassie Trask's trio of tags (I only made one) I picked the tag because it had a cat on it and with 23 tags behind me not one had a cat on it.  Cassie did a video on how she made the tag and it was great.

The stamp set I used is from Stampendous and it is a mini set, perfect for tags, I found the blue scrap in my "scrap box" and cut the stitched circle from Elizabeth Craft Designs. Since Cassie coloured her cat as a Siamese I tried my hand at doing the same (I usually colour domestic cats) I think she/he turned out pretty good. Fussy cutting the present and mouse was a challenge.

Here is Cassie's trio of "cat" tags.

Are they not the cutest tags, and check out her video you can find it HERE hope it works.

The 25 Days of Christmas Tags 2019 ~~ Day 23

Yep still lagging behind but in the end they will all be done. Each day has brought awesome tags to inspire and of course dies and stamps you need, or want.  It's been fun getting ideas for tags,  I have a couple of groups of ladies and I since I never have enough cards to add 16 more to my list I'm going to give each of them a tag that I've made. I hope they like that idea. Anyway back to day 23 and scrolling down the design team tags my eyes latched on to one particular tag and it is Patty Folchert's Tag, there were a few more that I would have like to try but there is never enough time to do everything you want to.

I used  the small tattered poinsettias die and some scraps of patterned paper, 

Here is Patty's Tag.

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.
