25 Days of Christmas Tags - Day 12 continued

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 Twelve showcases STAMPlorations.
Now I do have some of their products - in fact I just bought several of their coffee dies.
(Take a look at the post that will follow this!)

Anyway I spotted this tag by Joyce  on Day Twelve!

I really love this die - and although I have already posted some of my tags made with it - I couldn't resist in making more!!

This time I tried to keep to 'plain' backgrounds like Joyce.
In these first two however the tags are cut from holly embossed cards - one in gold, one in beige.

The trees are cut from a background I made putting Distress Inks through a stencil, with the pots from kraft.
I stamped Merry Christmas on a piece of natural paper. Finally I added the ribbon.

My final tag is made of kraft with the sentiment stamped directly.

The tree is upcycled - I die cut this from one of last year's commercial cards.

I will link these to the main hop post

Happy Crafting!
