Day 9...Loll's Twelve Tags of Christmas

Day Nine..Twelve Tags of Christmas with Loll and Friends.

You have until Nov 23rd to link your tags:-)

My Day Nine Tag!

I was inspired by Loll's Day 7 Tag.
Loll gave me this Gorgeous Die Cut Deer and Trees tag last Christmas:-)

Isn't Loll's Tag Stunning!

I changed the background and colored the deer with Zigs.

I also used CUTplorations Stitched Tag Die.

Loll die cut her deer scene with white paper and added a torn snowbank.

I added my die cut watercolored deer over the top of the Strathmore Mixed Media 

die cut deer family and tree scene and did not add a snow bank.  

For my background I used more of the SU Specialty Paper that I used on my 
Day 8 Peace on Earth Tag.

The dots on this sheet of the specialty paper reminded me of snowflakes 

even though they are a metallic copper color.

I stamped the Penny Black "Happy Holidays" sentiment on the smallest

Stitched Tag die and heat embossed in SU Copper EB powder.

Then attached small tag using SU White Twine to large tag. 
Next added SU mini dimensionals behind the small tag.

Then I added 20 year old SU white Organdy ribbon to the tag and Done!

I was pleased with how my bow turned out as I have not made a bow in ages...lol!

You still have until the 23rd to link your tags to Loll's Twelve Tags of Christmas.

You have until Nov 23rd to link your tags:-)

My Day Eight Peace on Earth Tag!

I got this pretty metallic silver embossed SU Specialty paper a couple of years ago

free with their Sale-A-Bration sale.  The leaves are metallic grey and leaves gold.

It was a 12" x 12" package of 12 sheets..2 ea of 6 designs of silver and 

 copper metallic designs.  I wanted to make a card with DSP and

this beautiful paper popped out at me.  

It is not Christmas paper,  but with the added Nuvo Red Berry Crystal Drops,

SU Real Red Cardstock die cut CUTplorations sentiment (unavailable) and SU red retired ribbon,

I think it made a gorgeous Christmas tag!

I die cut the heavy designer paper with CUTplorations Stitched Tags Nesting Die and

attached another die cut stitched tag using SU Whisper White Thick CS.

A QCAS tag design,  with such beautiful shine and texture, 

which showed up in my photo:-)

Hope you get to play along in Loll's TTOC too:-)

Happy Holiday stamping my friends.  Hugs..

My Day Six Tag!

I had so much fun with my new STAMPlorations New Release

Coffee To Go: Fall and Winter stamped image.

The set includes the open lined coffee mug 

and 4 Fall and Winter designs to stamp inside mug.

I used MISTI to stamp the mug and heat emboss and then

stamped the poinsettia and snowflake image that fits beautifully

inside the mug and heat embossed using Versafine black pigment

ink and SU Clear EB powder.

Next I colored the image with Zig markers and SU Aqua Painter 

for a watercolor effect.  Fussy cut stamped and colored mug.

Attached mug to die cut CUTplorations Stitched Tags Nesting Die 

using Strathmore Mixed Media paper.

Then die cut CUTplorations Peace Love Joy Phrase Die and

attached with SU Fine Tip Glue Pen and weighted down with acrylic block.

Added Nuvo Chrystal Drops White Blizzard to center of snowflakes

and poinsettia and 2 snowflake sequins from stash.
Also WofS to the snowflakes and poinsettia.

My last step, adding SU retired ribbon and Done!

Hope you get to join Loll's fun Tag Event too.

Day Five...Twelve Tags of Christmas with Loll and Friends.

You have until Nov 23rd to link your tags:-)

I have 2 tags to share.  The Positive Die Cut Tag!

I love how this beautiful SSS Snowflake Block Die turned out!

My die was a gift from my special friend,  Loll:-)

I die cut the SU Whisper White Thick Cardstock tag using 2nd largest, 

CUTplorations Stitched Tags Nesting Dies.

Then die cut the snowflake die with the same CS.

Die cut a 2nd snowflake Die with SU Champagne Glitter Paper.

Then began popping out the open pieces of snowflake image,

next popping out glitter negative image and adding to positive image,

just like a jig saw puzzle.

I attached block die image using SU Fine Tip Glue Pen to

SU WW Thick CS to secure all pieces.

Popped up image with Foam Tape.

Added stamped PB Happy Holidays sentiment,  SU retired Ribbons and Done!

The Negative Tag.

I used the same products and techniques, but used the glitter paper 

for the positive snowflake images and the white cardstock for the negative images.

Added glitter paper to frame the sentiment.

I am so pleased with the result of each tag.  I liked the snowflakes blocks

so well I ended up making 2 Christmas cards too:-)

Hope you get to play along in Loll's fun tag event too.

Happy Holidays creating, my friends.  Hugs...

Day Three--Twelve Tags of Christmas with Loll and Friends.

Such a fun time of year to enter your tags for Loll's tag challenge.

You have until the Nov 23rd to link your tags:-)

Here is my Day 3 Tag..Enjoy

I found this green and yellow Alcohol Ink on Yupo in my stash.

It was perfect for a tree Christmas tag design.

I die cut the piece with CUTplorations Stitched Tags Nesting Dies.

I wanted to try the Alcohol Ink Lift technique with a TH Woodland Layering Tree Stencil.

I used a sponge dauber to lift the ink with TH Alcohol-Lift Ink.

Worked great!

I then stamped the text thru the stencil using Archival Jet Black ink and MISTI.

The text is from the SU "Evergrees" retired set.

Doodled around the border with Staedler waterproof marker.

Stamped my PB Holiday Snippets sentiments.  

Added a die cut layer of SU Whisper White Thick CS to add strength to the tag.

Then added a ribbon from my stash and Done!

Enjoy and do check out all the Gorgeous tags in Loll's Tag Challenge.
