Christmas Tags Inspiration

25Days2015Good morning! Heather here this morning, excited to share with you a little trio of tags I put together for the 25 Days of Christmas Tags that Pretty Pink Posh is sponsoring! I used the adorable new Winter Woodland stamp set and Coordinating dies, paired up with the new Merry Christmas Scrip Die, the new Sparkling Clear Snowflake Sequins, Holiday Greetings stamp set and a few scallop tags from previous releases!

I started off by stamping some of the various adorable critters from Winter Woodlands. For the foxes, I used Scallop Diamond Tags Dies.

The add on sentiments were stamped with Holiday Greetings – and for the moose tag I used Scallop Square Tags Die.

And finally, I die cut just the word “merry” from Merry Christmas Script Die from black cardstock – for the bunny tag I used Scallop Circle Tags Die.

I colored in the critters using these Copic markers:

I cut all the tags from watercolor cardstock, then blended two colors of distress inks onto them.

I added some splatters of water that I mopped up with a clean dry paper towel, then I also added some white paint splatters for an even more snowy effect.

I used my sewing machine to attach the “merry” to the top, stamped my additional sentiments, then adhered my colored critters to the tags.

I added a few sparkly Sparkling Clear Snowflake Sequins, and then added more sparkle with some Nuvo drops in various places.

Punched a hole at the top of each tag and threaded through some jute twine, then used my fingers to curl up some of the edges of the animals – the antlers on the moose, the ears and tails on the foxes, and the ears on the bunny. Just a little thing to add a touch more dimension to these!

So fun to make three at once! Which one is your favorite?
