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!

12 Days of Christmas Tags Series; Day 7

Day 7 of the 12 Days of Christmas Tags Series. For this set of tags, I used a Sizzix Love Story die for the doily, Graphic 45 Tags and Pockets of the Joy to the World collection. These two products were from Jenlee Schoolcraft website where you can find budget friendly crafty products. These products are new and gently used.

I used some blue tag bases that I had in my stash and some snowflake stickers from Anna Griffith that was gifted to me years ago. I don't usually do vintage, but these products were so pretty and I thought, why not play with them!

12 Days of Christmas Tags Series, Day Six

We're at the halfway point of my 12 Days of Christmas Tags Series and this one is an easy one. I saw this print then cut project by Marta Silvestre on Cricut Design Space and made no changes except changed the size of them.

Like I said, easy. I don't feel bad about it because that's what crafters do.  Create projects, share them and hope others make them too!

I did make them my own by removing the names on the labels and most importantly, added the fun twine with beads to finish them off.  Click HERE for the DS link.

12 Days of Christmas Tags Series; Day 5

Day Five...have you been following along?  Make sure you're leaving comments for a chance to win a set of one each of the 12 tags made this year.

I used a funky and fun Elf Made stamp set by AALL and Create.   I colored them in using alcohol markers and white pen highlights.

The chipboard tags and vellum sheet were gifted to me by two crafty friends. 

The vellum is glued only under the elves but tied together with a variety of ribbon and a large jingle bell!

TGIF; Thankful Friday #392

It's Friday and another week to be thankful! This week I'm thankful for the start of the Christmas season. I had a busy week with friends and other activities and for that I'm thankful. I'm especially thankful for the paint night I hosted on Tuesday and my family and friends that support my crafty craziness. 

What are you thankful for this week?
