25 Days of Christmas Tags - Day 10


Wow, we've made it to day 10 of the Christmas Tag challenge - where is the time going!!  The tag I am sharing with you today is largely made using dies, with just one stamped images.

These coffee cup dies can be used any time of year, and I just had to use them to make a Santa Suit cup!  I was a bit stuck for a die for the buckle, so went looking through my collection and decided to use a label die from the Bottles & Bubbles set - what do you think?

Materials used:
Stamp set - Tags & Tidings
Dies - Coffee Cups, Bottles and Bubbles, Christmas Tags
Ribbon - Black satin ribbon, Real Red solid ribbon
Card - Real Red, Basic Black, Whisper White Thick, Silver Foil sheets
Other - Big Shot, Tear & Tape, Tombow liquid adhesive

25 Days of Christmas Tags - Day 9


Ink, stamps and punches were the order of the day for today's tag.  I've used the gorgeous Merry Merlot and Shaded Spruce inks, both new this year - as soon as I saw these colours I knew that they would be perfect for Christmas.  I think I might have to do a similar design for my Christmas cards this year - yes, gulp!  I do know it's the 29th November, so I really do need to get a shift on!

Ink - Merry Merlot, Shaded Spruce

25 Days of Christmas Tags - Day 8


Welcome to day 8 of the Christmas Tag Challenge - I do hope you are enjoying my makes!

For this tag I added a drop of Blackberry Bliss reinker to some shimmery white embossing paste and added this to the tag using a mask.  When it came to adding the ribbon, I found that the Berry Burst ribbon was a very close match - maybe I should have used Berry Burst card for the snowflake and ink for the sentiment!  Maybe next time!

I've used two snowflake dies from the limited edition Snowfall thinlits, it's a great set as it has so many different snowflake dies - don't forget this is only available until 30th November! 

You can shop online here.

Materials used:
Stamp set - Hearts Come Home
Ink pad and ink refill - Blackberry Bliss
Card - Whisper White Thick
Dies - Snowfall thinlits
Punch - Scalloped tag topper
Embellishments - Berry Burst metallic edge ribbon, clear facted gems
Other - shimmery white embossing paste, Stampin' Trimmer, Tombow
