Time for the STAMPlorations March Christmas in the Air Projects by my
Teamie Monika and I. It is never too early to start your Christmas card stash:-)
This is our 3rd Feature Project. Our last project will be the 2nd Wednesday in May.
I had fun designing a mixed media Christmas Tag for one of my Projects:-)
Here is a Close Up of the shine on the Tag!
I die cut the middle sized "Luggage Tag" out of mixed media paper.
Then used Distress Oxide inks to smoosh colors onto the tag.
Heat embossed the Typografia Christmas sentiment using DOX ink and clear EB Powder.
Next splattered the tag with white acrylic diluted paint.
I loved the shine from the heat embossing so added Versamark pigment ink
to the entire tag and heat embossed with clear EB powder. Loved the shine!
I found the wooden snowflakes in my stash and heat embossed them for more shine.
Then added the thick twine and die cut white cardstock with the luggage die
for the back of the tag and Done!
Luggage Tags Nesting Dies, Typografia Christmas Peace, Love & Joy.

For my 2nd project I designed a Tag Card.
A quick CAS Christmas card design:-)
Stenciled the Dots All Over stencil with Nuvo Glimmer Paste and attached
to card base.
Next die cut tag with Stitched Tags Nesting Dies and stenciled with ARTplorations
Holly Background Mini Stencil using Zig watercolor markers.
Then placed in MISTI to stamp the sentiment from Homespun Christmas.
Popped up tag with white craft foam and Done!
Stitched Tags Nesting Dies, Dots All Over Stencil, Holly Background Mini Stencil
and Homespun Christmas for the sentiment.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful tag and tag card! I love the holly design stencil you used!
ReplyDeleteGreat tag/ornament & card.
ReplyDeleteYou're going to be ready for Christmas before you know it! These are some beautiful projects, Nancy! I love the subtle sentiment on the tag. It blends with the background, yet shows up distinctly. I'm smitten with the CASness of your card, too. It's the way to go for the busy holidays!
ReplyDeleteThanks Leslie. Every Christmas card added to my stash makes me happy:-)
DeleteHugs...Nancy
Your tags are both so
ReplyDeletelovely!
I love both of your tags!! That first one is really cool with the shine from the embossing!
ReplyDeleteFabulously festive! Wonderful tags and beautiful designs.
ReplyDeletegreat additions to your Christmas stash Nancy. I love your colour combo on the card. The grey and red are stunning :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Christine. The green does have a lot of grey tones. Hugs..Nancy
DeleteWhat a shimmery and beautifully tonal tag Nancy. Such a pretty tag/card and I love how you used the water colour markers through the stencil, such a pretty and unique effect x.
ReplyDeleteI love the shape of your shiny blue Christmas tag, it is lovely. The red and gray holly looks so pretty on the snowy looking embossed background.
ReplyDeleteI love your Christmas tag, Nancy! It's so fantastic with the heat embossed large sentiment and then having the heating embossing over everything. Lots of shine. Those wooden snowflakes are fun and rustic, perfect with the thick twine. Your tag card is so pretty with the glitter stenciled background. The gray and red stenciling is so pretty with all that white space. xx
ReplyDeleteLove your tags, Nancy. The blue one just grabbed my eye and looks so thick with that wonderful gloss on it -great idea to emboss it. The tag card is so cute too. The stenciling looks terrific in grey and red. What a great color combination!
ReplyDeleteI really like that tag card a lot - I also like the cool shine on your first tag - great embossing and use of inks - lovely work! Thanks for sharing and inspiring!
ReplyDeleteBoth are lovey Nancy and so different... You did a great job water colouring through the stencil!
ReplyDeleteWonderful tag projects. I like the snowflakes and shine on the tag and the sparkle and stenciling on the card.
ReplyDeleteFun cards! I love the yummy blue on the first one; it's an elegant tag. And I love the texture of the BG on the 2nd project. Very pretty.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! Love your projects!

ReplyDeleteTwo fantastic tags, Nancy! Love the shine and wooden snowflakes on the first and the fantastic stenciling on the second!
ReplyDeleteTwo great tags, Nancy! I especially love the one with the holly - it's perfectly CAS but with lots of texture and interest.
ReplyDeleteBoth Christmas tags are fantastic, Nancy! The first one looks like it's made of blue leather. Love the visual texture and the beautiful shine! The wooden snowflakes and the thick twine go so well with this mixed media tag.
ReplyDeleteThe white tag card is so pretty! The gray and red looks wonderful with the glimmer falling snow. Hugs.. Hideko xx
