25 Days of Christmas Tags (Days 20-26)


I'm back today sharing my final tags for the 25 Days of Christmas Tags starting with Day 20 and working my way to Day 26. I have SO many tags this year that I will be able to add one to every gift I give this year, and then some! I didn't realize how many I had left over from last year, so I want to get them all used up! I think I may even make bundles of tags to give away as early Christmas gifts to some friends! 
These two tags were inspired by Nora Noll and her colorful watercolor tags! I loved the colors she used, so that is the direction that I went with my tags. I used the Tag Sale #5 die for the tag base. The blue one is stamped using the AMAZING Buffalo Plaid background stamp and the pink one is die cut using the Chicken Scratch Pattern paper. For some reason these tags make me feel like I've stepped onto the set of Holiday Inn! I love the vintage charm they have!
The main images were stamped using the Seasonal Borders: Winter stamp set and coordinating die set. The sentiment, which is one of my very favorites, is from Painted Poinsettias stamp set. I added a few rhinestones for some sparkle as well as a spritz or two {or three } of Shimmer Spray!



For Day 21, I was inspired by Kay Miller and her sweet little snowman scene. Her snowman is wearing ear muffs and it reminded me of this sweet little guy from Pom Pom pals which must be retired. I sure love this set!
I used the same tag base as I did on the previous tag. I added the embossed sentiment at the bottom. I stamped the image directly onto a piece of white cardstock using black ink. I colored it using copic markers and then used my circle and scalloped circle nestabilities dies to create the focal image. 

I bought the pom poms at the dollar store and they are added to the ear muffs using liquid glue. I added some red baker's twine to the hole.
This tag is for Day 22, and I was inspired by the gorgeous 3D Christmas tree tags made by Channin Pelletier. I was wishing I had some way of making one of those gorgeous trees, but just opted to use one of my favorite trees instead. I haven't done much vintage stamping lately, so this tag will be a nice addition on some of my rustic wrapped gifts. I used the O' Tannenbaum stamp set for the tree and heat embossed sentiment.

I used my MISTI to get everything aligned correctly. I used a piece of pattern paper with the lyrics of Silent Night printed on it. Too bad I didn't have one with the O' Tannenbaum lyrics! LOL!
I added some twine and a red jingle bell at the top.

I had a hard time deciding which tag to use as inspiration for Day 23, but the tag from Kimberly Rendino and her darling Santa captured my heart. I love this sweet Santa from the Tremendous Treats: Christmas stamp set so that is where I started! I stamped him in black and colored him using Copic markers.

Once he was colored, I used the coordinating Tremendous Treats: Christmas die set to die cut him out. The stars that are around him don't cut out with the die, so I stamped a second image onto the circle so that I would have the stars included. I layered the circle onto a black tag base that was die cut using the Tag Sale #5 die.
The sentiment is from Floral Fantasy and it is one of my favorites all ready! I added some glitter to the centers of the stars for some shine! Some twine and a red jingle bell finish off this tag!

I fell in love with the tag that Leanne West made for Day 24. I loved the plaid at the bottom and her gorgeous Poinsettia, and I had stamps to recreate that! I loved the embossing and the vellum, but I knew if I added that, I may as well have just copied it! LOL! 


The Poinsettia is from the Painted Poinsettia stamp set as well as the sentiment. The gingham image is from the Sending Joy stamp set . I added a red jingle bell at the bottom and a few sparkling gems here and there for shine!

This trio of tags were some of my favorites to make! For Day 25, I was inspired by Gemma Campbell and her sweet tags. I loved the deer she used on one of her tags, and it reminded me of this sweet set from MFT that I love! I have 3 gift card holders that I made last year that will go perfectly with these tags and I found some cute mugs at the Dollar Tree that will match, too! That is why I made 3! I will bundle everything up in a cello bag with some hot chocolate packets, a gift card and some lotion!

I used some WOW! puff white embossing powder and the Snowfall background from MFT for the snowy background. The sentiments are embossed in gold, which I love!

I did some quick Copic coloring to each of the images and die cut them using the coordinating dies. I added some red Nuvo drops to the sprigs of greenery at the top. I LOVE how they look! I also added some white details using a white jelly roll pen and some tinsel glitter here and there!

And finally...Day 26! I was inspired by Ardyth's tag! I had SO MUCH fun on this tag and this tag was actually the inspiration for THESE tags! Once I had this one done, I knew that those penguins paired with the Holiday Double cuts would be so cute! 
I used the Potbellies Santa die and added him to the tag base. The tag is from the Mix Ups Pocket Tags dies. I realized after I had made both this tag and yesterday's tags, that I totally could have made a pocket behind the penguins and Santa to hold a gift card! Oh well! Usually the creative process is an evolution! 


I added some Tinsel glitter to his hat band and a pom pom to the top. Because the eyes are die cuts, rather than stamps, there was some residual wet glue around the edges when I added the glitter. I noticed that some stuck to his eyes, but when it was all said and done, it looked like Santa had frosty eyelashes, so left it! LOL! The sentiment, which is from Penned Elegance: Christmas, is heat embossed in silver onto red paper for a seamless look. I love that this set has coordinating dies because it made it possible for me to give the sentiment dimension with some foam squares. I spritzed the entire thing with Shimmer Spray which looks great in real life! This is one of my favorites from the series! Thanks for fluttering by!
