25 Days of Christmas tags - Day 24 again

I came across this for the first time last year - and thoroughly 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 Twenty Four showcases Heffy Doodle.

Heffy Doodle are in the UK so I just had to come back here...again...

Look at these lovely tags on Day Twenty Four from Cassie Trask!

  

 Here are my versions:


I started by making a 'sky' section using Distress Oxides on watercolour paper. I cut a 'snow' section from the same paper with a strip die.
Having stuck these together, I diecut the tags (Tonic ATC collection die) and added the cat, coloured with Promarkers - stamp and matching die from Heffy Doodle - Mewniverse.
I added the hat - Stampin Up stamp from Cold Play.
The sentiments is from an unbranded set.




I will link these to the main hop post




Happy Crafting!

December 2019 Patterned Paper Challenge

Craftyhazelnut's Patterned Paper Challenge

Here is my make as part of the Design Team of
 Crafty Hazelnut's Patterned Paper Challenge!!

a monthly challenge to encourage crafters to use their patterned paper


I am sharing with you the December page of my calendar...



I die cut the trees (unbranded die) from sparkly silver card and placed this over a piece of patterned paper from my scraps.
I die cut the deer (another unbranded die) from another patterned paper and placed it in front of the trees.
I added the sentiments, stamped in black Versafine, the stamps from Stampin Up's Warm Words.




Hope you will join the Patterned Paper Challenge!

Day Twenty Four showcases Heffy Doodle.

Heffy Doodle are in the UK so I just had to come back here...

I thought this tag was lovely on Day Twenty Four from Lindsey!

  
I just had to buy this stencil...Bubble Waves Stencil from Heffy Doodle... and I put Distress Oxide through it...




Once this had dried and I had removed the stencil, I diecut two tags.



I embossed sentiments in blush embossing powder and added ribbon and twine.




The sentiments are from a magazine freebie set.

Many of my tags have been made and photographed in the evening...
in daylight I decided the sentiments were not really visible enough.
So I added some picked raspberry Distress Oxide to highlight these -
 and added some snowflake confetti.

25 Days of Christmas Tags - Day 9 revisited

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

I know I have visited every page at least once -
 but there's still a couple I need to go back to...

This is back to Day 9...



I was inspired by Dana Joy from Pink and Main  on Day Nine with her lovely tags:



Day Nine showcases Pink and Main - but I just looked what I had in my craft room - the wooden flamingo has been on my table for days...



I started with a green scrap and die cut a tag.
I matted this with a piece of plaid paper which I had corner-rounded. 
The plaid is from  Décosse's Dynamite Doodles


I printed the sentiment on the computer, trimmed it and added some distress - finally I added the pieces of twine.
