12 Tags of Christmas - Tag 1


whew.....2 hours later and it looks like my studio threw up!  Seriously, there's card stock glitter and scraps of stuff everywhere!  I don't think I've ever torn apart something I put together so many times, who knew hot glue would actually lift up so nicely!

Inspired by Tim's tag for day 1, here's my take, I think I'm going to use these on my gifts this year, or just hang them on my tree as ornaments.



I cut the tag, flourishes, and Joy from Core'dinations card stock, using the eCraft.  I welded the word "Joy" using SCAL software, once cut, I covered it with Stickles and Dazzling Diamonds and let dry.  I followed Tim's directions for the Tag background - just love the addition of the White EP over the embossed snowflakes.  For my banner, I used the center piece from the Ornament Box Set, cutting a old piece of music sheet using the eCraft, then crumpled and inked to age it a bit.  The pinecones took me the longest, even though I've made them before.  I gave up on the Tim's toothpick method and just rolled and glued, and was happy with the way it came out.  Once I got them shaped to my liking, I inked with Versamark, then embossed with Tinsel Embossing powder.  The vintage snowman is from the Artistic Outpost Frosty and Friends plate, stamped in Coffee Archival on Vanilla, then colored with STAEDTLER Karat Aquarell Watercolor Pencils and Gamsol.

Wow, this is so cute, but if it took you 2 hours....what will it take me! Your pinecones turned out really sweet!

I love this, what a great character.I have to practice with the pinecones because mine so arent working for me. I used pointsetta flowers instead. I will come back and visit again soon, Love your work.
