Twelve Tags of Christmas Day 12

 The 12th and final day of Ellen Hutson’s 12 Tags of Christmas 2022 Challenge with inspiration from "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer" with none other but Ellen Hutson herself!




Such a darling little Rudolph!

Rudolph was stamped first then masked and stamped the Santa.  Colored with Touch Twin markers and silver gel pen on the belt.  Added some fun flock I found in a drawer to the fur trim on his clothes.  Added some Stickles in Diamond for the snow.  Tied it off with some red baker's twine.

It has been so much fun playing along with this challenge with so much inspiration!
Thanks for stopping by!

Twelve Tags of Christmas Day 11

Day 11 of Ellen Hutson's 12 Tags of Christmas 2022 Challenge with Jingles Bells by Carly Minner.




Started by die cutting 2 Tim Holtz tags, one from white and the other from green.  Inlaid the green letters into the white tag cut outs.  Added the Tim Holtz Santa Hat colored with Touch Twin markers and added some white flock for the fur trim.  Stamped the partial sentiment by taping off the "jingle" and inking only the "all the way" in red ink.  Trimmed it down and added two green Sakura Stardust green dots to either end of the strip.  Tied off with some baker's twine.

Thanks for taking a look!

Twelve Days of Christmas Day 10

 Day 10 of the Ellen Hutson’s 12 Tags of Christmas 2022 Challenge with Amy Tusurta and Frosty the Snowman







This is a very old SU set.  Stamped the snowglobe then Frosty.  Colored with Touch Twin markers including the inside of the snowglobe.  Stamped some little snowflakes in white and heat embossed with clear sparkle ep.  Added some Stickles to the base of the globe.  Tied the top with some blue cord.

Two more days and I should have enough tags for my special gifts.  Thanks for taking a closer look!




Twelve Tags of Christmas Day 9

 On to Day 9 of Ellen Hutson's 12 Tags of Christmas 2022 Challenge with "Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer" by Daniel West.







Using Clearly Besotted have this prancing reindeer that must has been the culprit that ran over Grandma!  Added blue and silver falling snow to match Grandma's blue and silver in her hair.  Using more yarn from my stash, but had to add some reinker to a baggie to dye it to the right color.

Hopefully this Grandma doesn't get run over by any reindeer!  Thanks for visiting my blog!






Twelve Tags of Christmas Day 8

 Day 8 of Ellen Hutson's 12 Tags of Christmas 2022 Challenge with "I'll be Home for Christmas" inspiration from Tiffany Pryce Russom




Using Gina K stamps from a couple of sets stamped the house image and fussy cut.  Cut some glitter cardstock and inked the edges with Brilliance blue to form the snow drifts.  Used a piece of patterned cardstock that was in my stash and stamped the sentiment in Hero Arts Red Royal ink.  Tied the top with some eyelash yarn from yarn stash.

I always look forward to this event by Ellen Hutson!
Thanks for dropping by!

Twelve Tags of Christmas Day 7

 Over halfway through Ellen Hutson's 12 Tags of Christmas 2022 Challenge and Day 7 features Heather Meeson with “(It Must Have Been Ol’) Santa Claus”.




Using Essentials by Ellen on kraft.  Stamped the Santa and his reindeer team in Versafine Black and the HO3 in red.  Stamped the little snowflakes from the same set in Hero Arts Unicorn White.  Found some glittery thread/yarn in my yarn drawer and tied a bow through the hole.

Can't wait to see day 8 of this challenge!  Thanks for stopping by!






Twelve Tags of Christmas Day 6

 Day 6 of Ellen Hutson's 12 Tags of Christmas 2022 Challenge with inspiration from Angela Simpson with Let It Snow.










Sprayed some blue shimmer spray on the tag for some depth and added the Tim Holtz snowflake border cut from white glitter cardstock.  Heat embossed the sentiment in white ep.  Added some puffy yarn for the tie.  This was hard to get a decent photo with all of the shimmer and sparkle.

Thanks for taking a closer look!

Twelve Tags of Christmas Day 5

 Day 5 of Ellen Hutson’s 12 Tags of Christmas 2022 Challenge with Baby It's Cold Outside with inspiration from Julie Ebersol!




I had this little moose with his leg warmers from Studio G.  Stamped it a second time in red ink and paper pieced the leg warmers.  Stamped and colored with Touch Twin markers.  Added the sentiment on a thin strip and stamped the snowflakes with Brilliance blue ink.  Tied on some blue and red baker's twine.

So much fun playing along with this challenge!  Thanks for stopping by!

Twelve Tags of Christmas Day 4

 Day 4 of Ellen Hutson's 12 Tags of Christmas 2022 Challenge with the song Deck the Halls with Vera Kuprick.



I used the appropriately named set Deck the Halls by Gina K.  Stamped the bulbs and yes I did forget to mask :(.  I used Hero Arts Tide Pool and Lime Green.  Stamped the bulb toppers with Versamark and heat embossed with silver ep.  Stamped the strings with the bows and now I wish I had tried to stamp them by the tops, but wasn't sure if it would hold up on the embossing.  Stamped the sentiment from the same set with Memento Danube Blue.  Pulled out this very old pine bough set, I think it might be SU and stamped in Memento Northern Pine ink.  Topped it off with some green baker's twine tied into a bow.

Thanks for taking a closer look!

Twelve Tags of Christmas Day 3

 So much fun playing along with Ellen Hutson’s 12 Tags of Christmas 2022 Challenge.  Today's theme is Tropical Tags with inspiration from Therese Calvird.







Using a really old SU flamingo and colored with Touch Twin markers.  The wreath and flip flops were colored with gel pens.  Added the "sand" with a stamp that was supposed to be a flower center with Memento Desert Sand ink.  Die cut the tropical foliage (unknown from Amazon) and inked with Distress Inks in Shabby Shutters and Forest Moss by tapping and dragging them across the ink pads.  Added some red baker's twine and tied into a bow.

Thanks for visiting my blog!

Twelve Tags of Christmas Day 2

 On to day 2 of Ellen Hutson’s 12 Tags of Christmas 2022 Challenge



Stamped the Santa from Unity first and colored with Touch Twin markers, masked him off then stamped all of the snowflakes and heat embossed with white ep.  Left the mask on Santa and sponged on some Broken China Distress ink and then rubbed off the excess with a soft cloth.  Added the tiny strip sentiment to finish it off.

Thanks for taking a closer look!




Twelve Tags of Christmas Day 1

 I love the Ellen Hutson’s 12 Tags of Christmas 2022 Challenge.  The Designers are so creative and inspire me to make one-of-a-kind tags for all of my Christmas gifts.



Day 1 - Holly Jolly Christmas with inspiration from Carissa Wiley



I had this holly stamp in my stash and no idea who it is from. Stamped on white cardstock then die cut the tag.  Colored with Touch Twin markers. Stamped the sentiment in Versamark and heat embossed with rose gold ep and tied some green baker's twine.
