O Christmas Tags

Hello again,

Christmas is almost here, is everyone busy getting things organised or are you all sitting back relaxing with your favourite tipple? I’m still planning Christmas lunch; the elimination diet threw a spanner in the works, still trying the new recipes out getting used to different flavours.

I spent most of last week busy making the extra 10 cards I need and now I just have one more left for one of my neighbours. I used some of my earlier designs to create some of the cards including my little Scotty dog card using a different paper from the same pack. Using the same layout and a poinsettia die for a change which I layered up. I will post these in the next few days...

I also got my box of leftover diecuts, scrap papers etc. out and diecut many tags out of the larger scraps and plain Christmas shapes out of smaller ones to create this years gift tags. There are many more than you see below... should have some leftover for next Christmas!

I first joined in with the lovely ladies and Miss Di over at snippets playground last year with my Christmas gift tags, using leftover card to make these tags, which my local friendly newsagent passed on rather than tossing them in the bin. 

Here are my tags:-



What I used:-
Lawn Fawn Tag die
Scrap paper/card in various colours
Penny Black Clear stamps holiday snippets
Leftover small images, Bugaboo Stamps, Di’s Digital Delights
Faber-Castell and Derwent pencils
Memory Box leaping reindeer die
Impression Obsession Small Reindeer
Marianne Design Punch Star die
Marianne Tree Die
Cottage Cutz Festive Owls die
Marianne Design Scotty Dog Die
Impression Obsession Holly leaf cluster die
Mama Elephant Reindeer games stamp and die set (leftover from previous project)
Kindy Glitz Red glitter glue
Noel Washi tape
Printed sentiments
Adhesives: Double sided tape, PVA glue
Memento Tuxedo black ink

My apologies for the photo quality but we have gone from a bright hot sunny summer night to a grey, wet, misty mountain day… the temperature has dropped over 10C over night, but we are expecting Christmas Day to be around 27C here…

Tag time…

Hello again,

Well this fortnight over at Christmas stampin’ all year long they have challenged us to make a set of Christmas Gift tags; I'm happily obliging with this challenge. I have also recently rediscovered Pixie's Crafty Workshop and her Challenge Snippet's Playground, this one sounds right up my alley, I have been slowly working my way through my scrap bags to create my cards etc. Di is celebrating her 200th Challenge!!! Many Congratulation's Di.

Earlier this year I decided to clean out my many tiny Christmas scraps and use them up, I decided to use my Owl builder die set called Festive Owls from Cottage Cutz. I cut a huge number of owls out of my scrap bags, and the extra elements with all the little bits using a variety of traditional and modern Christmas papers and then sat peacefully watching the tellie gluing them together complete making them into Santa, Elf and Reindeer owls, this parliament of owls have been hanging around the table for months. 

I still have about 20 left so it’s quite possible you will be seeing some more of them later on.

I also made a second set of tags using up my extra reindeer stamps, which I stamped out a few weeks back, making their little jumpers this morning. I stamped a number of reindeer in black and then changed my mind and decided to stamp them in brown leaving me with a surplus as I’m not overly great at stamping, I always do way more than necessary but clear and cushioned backed stamps have made my terrible stamping a whole lot better.

I made an even dozen gift tags, six of each Reindeer and Owls.

Here are my tags:-




What I used:-
Kraft precut tags with plain and curved ends
Twine & Hemp cord
Sizzix and Hero Arts Reindeer Stamp and Die set
Cottage Cutz Festive Owls
Kraft & White card
Various coloured ink pads
Various scrap paper/card
Black fine line pen
Greetings stamps from magazine set
