Crafty Hazelnut's Weekly Christmas Challenge #413

a new Christmas Challenge every Saturday!

Today Crafty Hazelnut brings a new weekly Christmas Challenge

with the theme 'Make your own background'.

Do pop over and see the inspiration from my teamies!

Here is my card...

Recipe:

1. I started with a rectangular card blank matted with blue then green.
2. I then added my background - snowflakes embossed with opaque white embossing powder then covered with Distress Oxides. Finally I sprinkled it with water.
3. Next I added Snowman with Tree Hat from Imagine That Digistamps, printed pre-coloured and cut out.
4. Lastly I added some embellishments from my worktable...

I hope you will join the

21 Days of Christmas Tags - Day #23

This is the first year that I have come across this - but it sounds like a pretty good idea to join in - and get my Christmas tags done at the same time!!

It is hosted by Tracey McNeely and you will find the main hop post here

I have been really enjoying hopping around many of the posts associated with this hop -
so much inspiration!

I was inspired by Miriam Prantner on Day 18 to make a tag made of felt.

Here is Miriam's tag:

I have used a three colours of felt, dies to cut it (Dienamics Cross Stitch tag tie and a variety of flowers) and backstitch, running stitch and blanket stitch with embroidery thread.
Finally I added ribbon.
Once again I am having trouble photographing - it is so dark!!

As in Miriam's tag, a small gift card can be inserted inside.

I will link this tag to the main hop post

 In the Day 22 post, I was inspired by Channin Pelletier - she posted these trees:



These reminded me of a 3D tree card I made once - I converted that idea into a tag:

I cut out squares of green card with sides 4, 3, 2, and 1.5 inches. I folded each square in half and then the outside corners down to form triangles. These were then adhered in place on a card triangle to form a tree.
Finally I added some gems, silver glitter glue and ribbon.

Here is my tag made using the Die-namics Cross stitch Tag die, two little dies from last year's Tattered Lace Advent calendar, ribbon and a paper from
 Decosse's Dynamite Doodles...
