25 Days of Christmas Tags

Happy Saturday!! I hope you are all enjoying your day.

Today I am popping in with some tags that I created for the 25 Days of Christmas Tags blog hop. If you have not heard of this hop, head on over because it is AMAZING. There are also PRIZES to be won!!!

The CAS-ual Fridays Design team made tags showcasing some of their Christmas products and are being featured on the 25 Days of Christmas Tags blog today. I decided to go with my OBSESSION of snowflakes that I have been on this fall and create tags using snowflakes as the theme.

I chose to do multiples and use neutral colors to go with any wrapping paper. I started off by die cutting the large tag from the Tag Buddies Fri-dies twice from Kraft cardstock.

I then stamped and heat embossed two small snowflakes, in white, on each tag using the Snowy Sayings stamp set.

Next I flicked watered down white acrylic paint and gold watercolor over the top of the tags using a tooth brush.

When the paint was dry, I layered die cut snowflakes that I had cut using the Funky Flakes Fri-dies and adhered them to the tag. I covered the snowflakes with Diamond Stickles to give them some sparkle and shine.

When the Stickles were dry, I adhered some sequins in the middle of the snowflakes and added some ribbon with gold floss to the top of the tags.

My next two tags I die cut using the middle tag from the Tag Buddies Fri-dies.

I used the exact same paint technique on these two tags that I used on the larger tags.

I again die cut snowflakes using the Funky Flakes Fri-dies and adhered a couple together in a pattern on each tag.

I then added some Diamond Stickles on one of the section of the snowflake and added a gold sequin to the middle.

My last step was to add some white ribbon and gold floss to the top of the tags.

That is all from me today. I hope this inspires you to create some fun tags of your own. Be sure to hop on over to the CAS-ual Fridays Blog to see what the other girls from the team have created.

Thank you for taking the time to stop by today. Have a FABULOUS day!!

Snowflakes with CAS-ual Fridays Stamps

It is hard to believe that it is the last day of November today. Where has the time gone?

Today it is my turn on the CAS-ual Fridays Stamps Blog. I created a holiday card and matching tag using two snowflake sets-"Snowy Sayings" and "Bring on the Snowflakes."

The colors were inspired by the image below.

It was also LOOSELY based on last weeks "Freshly Made Sketches #314.

I started off by stamping and heat embossing the sentiment from CAS-ual Fridays Stamps "Snowy Sayings" in silver.

 

I then stamped the small aqua snowflake from the same set and the large snowflake from "Bring on the Snowflakes."

Next I stamped and heat embossed the large silver snowflake. I die cut the white panel and wrapped some silver thread around the front. I used a lighter piece of a patterned paper scrap behind the panel and mounted the whole thing on an A2 sized, top folding, aqua card.

My last step was to adhere some matching sequins and light colored jewels on the snowflakes and randomly around the sentiment.

For the tag, I actually used the practice piece I made for my card. I did the exact same process as my card but then used the middle sized Fri-die from "Tag Buddies" to cut out the tag.

I added some silver thread and thin ribbon to the top to finish as the finishing touch.

I love using different colors for my Christmas cards and I hope that this inspires you to create some fun snow themed cards too. Use my code-nora2017 at CAS-ual Fridays Stamps to get 15% off your next purchase-including sale items!!
