12 Days of Christmas Tags 2021; Day Eleven

Day 11 of the 12 Days of Christmas Tags series was made by creating an envelope using a punch board. 

I filmed a video which you can check out here:

The papers were scraps from my tag container which I use to keep Christmas scraps and things in.

The stickers were perfect for these envelopes and look at the back!

So cute, right?!

12 Days of Christmas Tags 2021; Day Ten

Day 10 of the 12 Days of Christmas Tags series were made using both the Cricut and a tree punch. The tag base was made by combining a triangle and square from basic shapes in the Cricut. I welded them together and the cut them out. 

I then sliced the tag in half to cut the top layer. 

I added holiday washi between the two layers before adhering the punched trees. They are popped up with 3D adhesive.

Stamped the to &from and they’re done.

12 Days of Christmas Tags 2021;Day 9

Day Nine and I’m super excited to show you these tags! They went through many changes before I decided they were done. I have a Christmas bulb punch and I punched out a bunch of lights using scraps. I cut strips of white cardstock (1.25x5.5) and then decided the bulb color order - I figured it would be easier to make them all the same.

Then I inked the strips using a finger dauber and various ink pads.

After that I used a black marker to draw the cord to hold the lights and adhered the bulbs. I selected one on each strip to be raised up with dimensional adhesive.

Used a white pen and Stickles to highlight them.

Handwrote the “to and from” using the same marker.

And here’s what I love…I thought they were still missing something so I punched more bulbs in black and cut the bottom half - adhered the tops to each bulb. Aren’t they fabulous?!?

12 Days of Christmas Tags 2021;Day 8

 Hey there! I’m so happy that I am able to keep up with the tags series. Although my right hand is still in the brace and I am experiencing pain, I can tell it’s getting better and I’m getting pretty good using my left hand!

Tag #8 was made using the Cricut. I searched for 3D bows and then made them my own by adding the black strip and the tab in the back. These are so cute!

I used a black marker & glitter marker to make the yellow piece into a buckle. You can tell I used my left hand since the rectangle is pretty bad, ha ha ha! But I’m ok with them!

TGIF; Thankful Friday #202

Hello Friday! Since I’ve been home on disability, the days all seem the same. This week I’m thankful for the holiday season, decorating and seasonal traditions. Last Friday, the girls decided to drive around our town to look at all the outdoor decorations. We have a contest in our town and the addresses of those entered are in our local paper.  So fun!

And tgen my granddaughter was in the parade so we did that on Saturday.

What are you thankful for this week? Share in the comments below!

12 Days of Christmas Tags 2021; Day Seven

Day Seven of the 12 days of Christmas tags series had me breaking out some punches. I created these Santas before so I knew I could make them with one hand and use scraps!

They are so easy to put together!

I used three punches, 1” and 1/2” circles, scalloped circle, and the oval was cut with a Creative Memories oval cutter. 

The noses were popped up with dimensional adhesive & the eyes were just drawn on with a black pen.

I added some music paper and a strip of washi tape to the tag base before adhering Santa-also with dimensional adhesive. Simple and so cute!

12 Days of Christmas Tags 2021; Day Six

Day Six of the series and I’m managing to stay with the schedule! 

I used two thin stamps and some label stickers to create today’s tags. 

These labels were printed on a full page sticker sheet. I love the non-Christmas colors!

I used this tag punch board to create the tag shapes on the pieces of card stock.

Added some eyelets to the top of each of them using the crop-a-dile. It’s surprising what you can do with one hand!

I used chalk pencils and Stickles to color the stamped images. Super easy and cute!
