I was very pleased with all 3 of my tags, which will be added to trays of cookies and could be used as ornaments for friends or family:-)
The new Christmas coffee sets images were the perfect size for all the tags.
Enjoy and we would love if you hopped along with us and added your comments.

I would be pleased, also. They're all very lovely tags. I especially love the 3rd tag with the Poinsettia and To Go Cup. That green is lovely and a great holiday green. [Bunny]
ReplyDeleteGorgeous tags! I LOVE the mug one!
ReplyDeleteThese are fantastic, Nancy and so creative and unique! That coffee cup looks 3D! I had to do a triple take on that one. Wonderful job coloring and I love that they are done on the wood cuts. Fantastic job and they look SO fun to do!
ReplyDeleteThree awesome tags, Nancy! I love that they can double as a tree ornament! Fantastic and fun, my friend!
ReplyDeleteYour ornaments and mug are as pretty in the pictures as they are in real life! At first glance it's easy to mistake the mug in the photo for a real one. Beautiful combination of stamps and craft pieces. Putting the embossing glaze on my wish list after seeing these. Thanks for the inspiration, Nancy!
ReplyDeleteThese all look so cute. It is nice to see them up close so we can see the great detail..
ReplyDeleteWonderful tags and I love how you've decorated them. Great that they can be used for many uses x. Fabulous inspiration Nancy, Thank you x.
ReplyDeletewonderful tags Nancy, they would also make great tree decorations :)
ReplyDeleteOh so beautiful Nancy! I just love the idea that they decorate your trays of cookies AND can then be used as tree decorations! The gift that keeps on giving! Thank you for your comforting comment earlier. Vicky x
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea to use the coffee mug chipboard for a tag! I have some that I hope to try that with.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful tags!
All three tags are awesome, Nancy! Each tag is colored so beautifully. It's so interesting to see Distress Glaze on the chipboard mug. Great job of fussy-cutting the image of the second tag. The texture of the white gesso covered Christmas bauble is wonderful, and the shine of the gold must be gorgeous in real life.
ReplyDeleteA tray of krumkakes with an ornament tag is a wonderful holiday gift! Hugs.. Hideko
