25 Days of Christmas Tags

Welcome to Day 2 of Tracey McNeely's 25 Days of Christmas Tags. Tracey has been doing this event for 6 years. Wow, great job Tracey! Every day there is a new sponsor with inspirational projects and some prizes. Tracey has all the general info about the event here.

Today it's Poppystamps turn to sponsor and there are some fabulous tags created by the design team.

For my tag I started off by die cutting a Main Street Tag from water colour paper and heat embossing the poinsettia and leaves from the Poinsettia Peace stamp set in brass embossing powder. Then I did some loose water colouring with my Gansai Tambi Paints.

I die cut the Merry Christmas Tag from black card stock and adhered that on top of the stamped tag. I added a few black stamped dots and some sequins and to finish off I added ribbon and a couple of bells.

To see what the rest of the Poppystamps design team created stop by Tracey's blog here.

Thanks for visiting today and happy crafting!

Christmas Projects

Hi everyone! Today I'm sharing a few simple and quick holiday projects.



The first one is a tag for Tracey McNeely's 25 Days of Christmas Tags Challenge here. We were asked to make a tag inspired by one of the guests and I chose a tag by Ardyth which can be found here.

Ardyth has a fabulous clean style which I tried to incorporate onto my tag by using her elements of a tree, offset tags and metallics.



I used gold gilding flakes for my funky die cut tree by the Frantic Stamper and the tags are Poppystamps Stitched Main Street Tags.

Now onto a couple of cards, both using the new to me Penny Black Red Star stamp.



For the cards I used Memento Markers to colour onto the stamp and spritzed it a few times with water before stamping it out.



Both sentiments were gold embossed and I added Stickles to the flower centres.



When I got this stamp I didn't realize that the rubber had a pattern, I love the texture it gives to the poinsettia.

I"m entering this card for Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge, Anything Goes, here.

That's it for now! Thanks for stopping by to take a peek at my projects!

25 Days of Christmas

Welcome to Tracey McNeely's 25 Days of Christmas. This is the 5th year Tracey has been doing this event and this year she gathered an amazing group of designers to inspire you with projects!

Today, the projects are sponsored by Poppystamps!

I went bright with my tag, using Distress Inks to colour the houses and trees. I used watercolour paper that has a lot of texture to add some interest to the die cuts.

I stamped the snowflakes in white pigment ink on the background and added Stardust Stickles to the snow bank to make it sparkly.
