this weeks tags have been made from 3 sets: frames with a flourish, spotlight on christmas and best yet. recipes for each can be found on our tag countdown page.

tag #19 (72 tags to christmas)


another request i received for a tag was one using non-christmas stamp sets and misc. embellishments/papers to use up scraps. the stop sign is from the set "its a sign". i have included a picture of the set. all of the stamps are quite large and make great additions to cards or stand alone tags.

tag #18 (73 tags to christmas)

i had a request from a lady in canada for a tag she could place a gift card in. it slips into the pocket, but i put it behind so you could see the tag better.

#17 (74 tags to christmas!)

this is a simple tag. because of the green background i used when i took the picture it appears to be bigger than it is. i love the "deer friends" set and used my 1" circle punch for a close up of santa. i love using my versamark stamp pad to shade by placing the paper on the pad and pressing. if you do this unevenly it creates a faux finish.

tag #16 (75 tags to christmas!)

this one is my favorite so far. i stamped the snowman on the white cardstock and filled it in and added a 1/4" shadow lightly using a grey water color pencil. i also colored the arms brown and one holly leaf green.
i stamped the snowman 3 more times and cut out his three sections. i softened all color with a blender pen (i LOVE these). i used a stampin' dimensional to attach each section on top of the shaded snowman.

this picture doesn't show the beautiful background. i used the large background stamp from the season of joy set, inked with versamark. its a simple and unique addition for any package or card.

tag #2

i have had so much fun using my new punches! i also have a lot of really cute sets that are perfect for gifts tags, especially christmas. this weeks fab friday project is a quick & easy one. i realized there is a little less than 3 months left til christmas and that i probably have enough stuff to make a different tag everyday...so that's what i am going to do! check back each day for a new christmas tag. package 2 weeks at a time, place in a cello bag with a cute topper and what a fun gift! while you have the stuff out why not make a couple of each one? its always nice to have them on hand.

you will find instructions for all the tags here. let the countdown begin!
