TGIF; Thankful Friday 393

Another late TGIF post but at least it's here I'm thankful this week for being busy. Maybe a little tired too. This week I volunteered for the book fair with my daughter. 

It's always good to see ex colleagues and spending time with my daughter. I don't think I drank so much sweet coffee ever!

What are you thankful for this week? Let me know!

12 Days of Christmas Tags Series; Day 12

This is it! Gift tag number 12. I wanted to include the ridiculous 6 7 that's taking over our youth this year. If you've got a young one, you know exactly what I'm talking about.

I adjusted a file that was in Cricut Design Space to make it easier to put together and less pieces. Find the link for this cut HERE.

Watch the YouTube video for the last gift tag and make sure you leave a comment. 

I used Christmas bread tied to finish them and Nuvo Drops in Ivory Seashell to highlight the snow covered numbers.

The giveaway will end Sunday December 14 so be sure you leave all your comments by mid-day. The winner will win a set of one each of the 12 gift tags that were made during this series and be announced by that evening.

12 Days of Christmas Tags Series; Day 11

Thanks for following the 12 Days of Christmas Tags Series and for making it to tag 11. To see the previous tags, you can just scroll back or click on the label to the right.

These gift tags were fun to create since I got to go through my painty papers. And I have a lot! 

Even the background papers are from my stash of painty papers. The design itself is not new or exciting but using these quirky, fun papers really brings them to another level!

What do you think? Pretty cool, huh?

Watch the YouTube video for my thought process.

Be sure to leave comments for an entry into the end of series giveaway. One person will win a set of one each of the 12 tags!  Good luck!

12 Days of Christmas Tags Series; Day 10

Day 10 of the tag series is probably my favorite. I decided to paint Christmas tree on wooden tags. I just painted this during a paint night with my friends last week and thought it would be perfect in miniature form. I was right! They turned out so good!

I used two shades of blue, two shades of green, black and white acrylic paints and some clear Stickles to rub over the trees once they dried.

Watch the YouTube video to for the process. This one will be a little longer but it'll be worth watching!

At the end of the series, there's a giveaway and one person will win a set of one of each of the 12 tags made during the series.

Leave a comment for an entry. Leave one every day here, my YouTube channel, instagram and/or Facebook. Good luck!

Here's a picture of my finished canvas and my friends.

12 Days of Christmas Tag Series; Day 9

12 Days of Christmas Tag Series; Day 9 uses a Disney die that I got from Jenlee Schoolcraft website. Check out the website if you're interested in budget friendly both new and gently used craft supplies. If you use my first name, Dorlene, you'll get an additional 10% off the already low prices.

Back to the tags, I cut six white, 6 brown and 6 gray Olafs,  basically 3 cuts per snowman. I know I could have used markers to color all the parts but I liked the extra layers. I did, however color the carrot noses with an orange alcohol marker.

I added two washi tapes to the bottom of the embossed tags to add color and to make it festive! I also stamped a greeting and some snowflakes to the background.

Tinsel ribbon and red string finish it up!

12 Days of Christmas Tags Series; Day 8

Day 8 of my 12 Days of Christmas Tags Series. For today's tag, I used four different punches.  I took a tab punch to create a snow globe base; a circle punch for the snow globe and snow; crop-a-dile and a tag punch. Finished them with cute caroler brads I purchased from Eyelet Outlet.

Topped them off with silver thread, holographic disc and a jingle bell to each tag topper.

These snow globes are about 2" tall and oh so cute. So perfect to use your cardstock and patterned paper scraps!

Be sure to check out the process video on YouTube along with all the other seven tags already posted.
