25 Days of Christmas Tags - Day 18

I came across this for the first time last year - and really enjoyed it  - and when it came to Christmas I had more than enough tags made!!

It is hosted by Tracey McNeely and you will find the main hop post here
She works really hard to organise this hop and secures many sponsors!

 Each day I will CASE or be inspired by at least one tag...!

Day Eighteen showcases Neat and Tangled as sponsor.

Again I will have to look in my stash for similar products.

Anyway this is Mindy Eggen's beautiful tag on Day Eighteen!



I really loved the words embossed in gold on craft and the Poinsettia...

Here is my version:

First of all I die cut a scalloped rectangle is white card.

I had to look in my stash for suitable stamps and I found an Inkadinkado Poinsettia which I embossed in white on white card - and then cut out.

For the words - do you remember the poem I mentioned the other day?


A Visit from St. Nicholas
Clement Clarke Moore - 1779-1863

'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse;
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there;
The children were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of sugar-plums danced in their heads;

...

In my individual stamps drawer, I had a 'My Sentiments Exactly!' stamp illustrating words from the above poem in the shape of a Christmas stocking. I embossed this in gold on kraft and cut it out.

Finally I added the bow, ribbon and twine and the printed sentiment.

I will link this to the main hop post

Happy Crafting!
