25 days of Christmas Tags - Day 21 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...!

I would like to thank everyone who has visited my blog - especially those of you who have become followers, and those who have left comments!

Day Twenty One showcases Lawn Fawn as sponsor.

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

Anyway this is Francesca Vignoli's cute tag on Day Twenty One!

  

I made these versions to start:

 

But then I developed the unicorn tag idea further...
This time I die cut the star shaped tag from silver card.


I used a Tattered Lace unicorn and foliage die set cutting the pieces in various colours.
Again on the back I stamped the Stampin Up sentiment from Warm Words (as above).

I arranged the pieces on the star, added a sprinkle of sequins and the ribbon.

Here I am at Day 18 again!!

Day Eighteen showcases Neat and Tangled as sponsor.

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

Anyway this is Lindsey's beautiful tag on Day Eighteen!



I thought I would do some more ink blending!

Here is my version:


First of all I used Distress Oxides to blend the background and then embossed the Stampin Up stars in white.

I then gold embossed the sentiment (STAMPlorations) and the tree (My Sentiment Exactly!). Having trimmed these I added them to the tag. Finally I added ribbon.

Day Thirteen showcases CAS-ual Fridays both as sponsor and as guests.

Anyway I spotted this tag by Lisa Bzikziak  on Day Thirteen!




Lovely!

Here are my versions:


I statrted by adding Distress Oxide colours to a piece of water colour paper.
I then embossed over the top with white and Stampin Up snowflake stamps.


I die cut the tags - a small Tonic tag die combined with a scallopped square to make the shape.
I die cut Let it Snow in sparkly silver/white card and added Let it to strips of Distress Oxide background, with the Snow below.
Finally I added the die cut snowflake in turquoise sparkly paper and the ribbon.

Day Seventeen showcases Pretty Pink Posh as sponsor.

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

Anyway this is Sharna Waksmulski's tag on Day Seventeen!

 

Here is my version:



Sharna's tag is so beautiful - I had to CASE it!!

I started by making the background by adding Distress Oxide (peacock feathers) to watercolour paper.
I then embossed the sentiment (Stampin Up's Warm Words) in gold.



I embossed the poinsettia (Inkadinkado wooden stamp from my stash) white on white.



Finally I added pearls, a scatter of sequins, string and twine.
