Tag Time!

Hey Everybody!

Whew!  I am totally embracing Christmas-I love it.  So I have been making tags for my friend who will hopefully get her envelope of tags today.  :)

I wanted to show ya'll what I had made.  Most of these are fancy but just fun.  I even used up a pack of rub-ons!  So let's see them!

This tag is made using an old Stampin' Up stamp I found at a thrift store for like .70.  I found some others too-I just haven't used them yet.  I was a very happy camper that day! :)

These tags are made using Echo Parks Digital papers and cards.  They had this promotion every Wednesday where they sold the paper sets and matching journal cards and stuff for $1 and maybe $1.50 for the matching cards.  How could I not?  So one Wednesday I bought 1 Christmas pack.  The following I bought a different Christmas pack and the accent pack.  I printed them out and here they are.  Now the Santa is from the Graphic Fairy.  I added the little plastic Christmas tree and buttons.  

For these tags I used up an old pack of Provo Craft rub-ons--Yay!  It had a cute Santa that I put in my December Daily book.  Oh-what's that-how's my December Daily book going?  Well today is Dec 20th and it stops at Dec 4th.  That's how that project is going ;)

Let's just keep looking at tags!

So these Surfin' Santas are from a Close to My Heart set I bought a long time ago.  They're totally rad.

These snowmen are from a Hero Arts set that I had to have this year.  I love snowmen! :)

These two beauties are made from Graphic 45's chipboard and punchouts from their Twelve Days of Christmas line.  I took a class with Annette Green and made an awesome mini album.  She is a designer from Graphic 45 and is super creative and an awesome teacher.  She had brought some projects she had made which included Christmas tags.  I totally loved them!  Check them out here.  So I got out the jump rings and crop-a-dile...

So a couple of nights ago I got the gelli plate out.  My son and I had a fun time rolling out paint and making designs.  I pre-cut tags from the cricut machine.  Lots of fun!

These little stockings were part of the rub-ons I used up but what makes this tag special is that I put my friend and her husband's first initial on them.  Awe....I'm so sweet ;)

I love how this tag turned out.  I heat embossed the background with white embossing powder.  Added a few snowflakes and a K & Company snowman.  The white card stock is embossed with some one of those little Tim Holtz embossing folders and then I inked it.  Very fun!

Thank you for stopping by!  Until next time my friends...stay warm! :)

Irish Map ATC

Hello Everybody!

Ok I am back with one more ATC tonight.  I am entering it into the Digi Haven Challenge: Green.

The map is from Graphic Fairy and you can find it here.  I tore the edges around it and used walnut distress ink to age it.  Then I put it on a black ATC card.  I added a tag from DCWV with a clover rhinestone and a green ribbon.  I love this map!

Thanks for stopping by!  Until next time my friends...it's time to wash my green shirt ;)

Tidbit Tuesday-Faux Tile Technique

Hello Everybody!

It's the first Tuesday of the month-my Favorite Tuesday.  The Tuesday where a new challenge is posted at Technique Tuesday!

This month the technique is Faux Tiles.  The instructions are here.  Go by and see all of the beautiful creations that the DT have made!  Lots of inspiration!

Here is my card using this technique:

The Santa is from The Graphics Fairy LLC.  You can find him here (and for free!).

I printed him on white card stock and applied walnut stain Distress Ink around him after I cut him out.  I cut my tiles out in different shapes because I was trying to make sure I didn't cut his head in half.  The red is made using a border punch from Fiskars.  I used a gold pen around the edges of the card.  

I am linking this card to the following challenges:

Digi Haven: Merry Christmas Challenge

Other Materials:
