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.

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!

Make sure to watch the YouTube video to get some tips on the tags!

12 Days of Christmas Tags Series; Day 4

It's Day Four of the 12 Days of Christmas Tags Series and I've got a sparkly one. I purchased washi tape and snowman brads from Eyelet Outlet when I attended the Expo earlier this year. Actually, the washi tape was purchased two years ago!

The tags were customized and cut with the Cricut. The rest was super easy to put together. Watch the YouTube process video for instructions on how I customized the tag fronts and bases.

So easy but so sparkly! Watch the YouTube video:

What do you think about the brown and blue color combo? I like it.

12 Days of Christmas Tags Series; Day Two

Day Two and these are easy ones. Super cute, but easy. I stamped and die cut these simple gingerbread men and women. I also used my Creative Memories circle cutter to cut three different size circles to stack on top of each other.

I swear that I'll use the paper scraps generated from those for another project soon! You gotta hold me to it!

12 Days of Christmas Tags; Day One

It's that time! 12 Days of Christmas Tags Series is starting now. Before I forget, make sure you leave a comment here, my YT channel, Facebook and/or Instagram to earn an entry for the giveaway.  

At the end of the series, one person will get a set of one of each gift tag made this year.

Day One, I am using my Cricut to create a beautiful decorated jingle bell. As noted in my Design Space project, I took the design from another Cricuteer but made some changes.  You can find the file HERE.

These tags have four layers of cardstock and are very thick and sturdy. I added the white circles to the backs so I could stamp To and From. You could skip this if you prefer. 

Watch the YouTube process video for more details.

12 Days of Christmas Tags Series 2024; Day 12

It's here! Day 12 of the 12 Days of Christmas Tags series. Whew! I made some great tags this year and if you haven't had a chance to look back, you must! There's still a little time to go back and leave comments either here on my blog, my YouTube channel or on IG for entries in the giveaway. Each comment = one entry!

For these tags, I thought I'd pull out all the random items in my "Christmas Tags Container" and put together some tags. Well...that didn't exactly happen. I had a huge creative block and ended up making most the same with little differences. It's ok because I still like how they turned out and you know what...sometimes we have creative blocks!

The deer are the inside of the cut outs of the reindeer I made on Day 7. Look, I'm a waste not want not kinda gal so these were so perfect to reuse. I used the Cricut to create the banners on the bottom and stamped the To/From before adhering them to the tags.

Which was your favorite? 

Remember, leave a comment for your chance to win one set of one of each of the 12 tags made for the 2024 series. Good Luck!

Watch how these were put together on my YouTube channel:

12 Days of Christmas Tags Series 2024; Day 11

At the end of the series, I do a giveaway. The winner will receive a set of one each of the 12 tags made this year. To enter, all you need to do is leave a comment here, on the YT video and/or IG post. Each comment = one entry!

For tag number 11, I used a cut file from Printable Cuttable Creatables and it's a good one! How cute is this Mrs. Claus boot? A little risque for the big guy's wife and oh so cute! The cut file actually includes two different style stiletto boots but I chose this one for the tags. If you place an order with Printable Cuttable Creatables, use code 3SONS15 for 15% off your order!

The boots are 5" tall and are embellished with two jingle bells and twine. I love the gold glitter paper buckle. So cute!

Check out the YT video and see how I put those small buckles on without any stress!

12 Days of Christmas Tags Series 2024; Day 10

Day 10! We’re almost done with the 2024 series. So with these tags, I got real artsy. I decided to do a little water painting. I cut these watercolor paper into 2.5x5" tags. I've had this pad for a while now so I was fine with using three sheets. 

Originally I thought I would use buttons for the ornaments but changed my mind. I'm glad I did because I think the buttons would have given the tags a more whimsical feel and as I was painting, I realized that I didn't want them that way.

I used three different greens for the pine needles, gold and frost glimmer daubers, white splatter, and a fine tip black pen for the string, edging and detailing. 

So pretty! I know I'm not winning any art contest with these but I love the way the ornaments turned out and the overall look of these tags!

Watch the process video to see and hear my process.  Also Be sure to leave a comment here, on my YT channel or IG to be entered into a drawing at the end of the series. The lucky person selected will win a set of one of each 12 tags!
