I created a Christmas gift tag using a stitched tag die from Pretty Pink Posh. To build my own mini winter scene, I masked off the penguin images and inked the colors using Distress Inks. I chose a gold foil paper to die cut a part of the sentiment using Merry Christmas die from Simon Says Stamp. To complete my sentiment, I stamped “merry” in white using the sentiment from Holiday Sayings stamp set by Hero Arts.

DSC_3397I supposed to make a clean and simple tag, but I couldn’t resist stamping all the tiny snowflakes from Jolly and Merry stamp set by Mama Elephant all over the inked background. *wink*

DSC_3381This is my second tag that I made using same theme. This time I inked slightly light colors for the background and used a silver foil paper for the sentiment die cut. I also fancied up the top of my tag using some white satin ribbon after setting an white eyelet.

This is how I created my Christmas tag. 1)Die cut a tag using Stitched Dueo 1 die set from Pretty Pink Posh. Then stamp penguins from Arctic Penguqins stamp set with Memento Tuxedo black ink. 2)Mask off the penguins and ink the colors using Distress Inks: Tumbled Glass, Dusty Concord, and Peacock Feathers. 3)Spray the Perfect Pearls Mists over the inked background. (I used the Heidi Swapp Color Shine White for another tag.) 4)Color the penguins with Copics. Then add some shimmer on the snowy hill using glitter marker. 5)Die cut the sentiment twice using Merry Christmas die from Simon Says Stamp out of foil paper and white paper. Then adhere them together and glue the sentiment on the tag. 6)Stamp  the sentiment in white from Holiday Sayings stamp set by Hero Arts. Then trace the sentiment using a white gel pen. Stamp the tiny snowflakes from Jolly and Merry stamp set by Mama Elephant with white ink.

DSC_3416-2I had so much fun making Christmas tags and ended up with 8 tags. Lol! Hope you like my creations and get some inspiration to create your own tags.

I enjoy the knowledge you present here and can’t wait to take a look when I get home. I’m shocked at how fast your blog loaded on my cell phone .. I’m not even using WIFI, just 3G .. Anyhow, amazing site!|
