Glitzy Warm Wishes

Challenge #43 on the Double Trouble Challenge blog is asking for some glitz or glimmer with and optional snowman and a  link to the Cupcake Inspirations Blog.

I made a really big tag using Cutplorations dies. The tree, Penny Black Winter Tree, is really sparkly in person where I embossed with Holographic embossing powder from Ranger. The snowman and flakes, colored with Copics, are from a set from Art Impressions/Hampton Arts and cut with the included dies. The snow was created using puff paint that I sprayed with Rock Candy glitter and heat set to make it puff. The snowman is popped, and the final tag, Lawn Fawn (newer sets are stitched), was added with some ribbon.

Christmas Elves Tag

The optional twist for this week over at Twisted Thursday is to create a ticket or tag. This month's sponsor is MMedel Illustrations. The elves come from a set called Santa and Friends.

I colored these sweet elves with Copic markers and added a bit of white gel pen, and created a tag with heavy paper from  Graphic 45, St. Nicholas paper. Then I attached a fun tassel and a sentiment from The Hungry JPeg.

Thanks so much for stopping by. I always enjoy reading your comments!

Hogs and Kisses Christmas Tag

This week we end our sponsor showcase over at The Outlawz, Twisted Thursday. This week, the optional twist is Anything Goes. I selected Imagine That this week and the fun little Hogs and Kisses image. Who couldn't love getting a Christmas tag with a tree full of pigs?

I used my Chameleon colored pencils over Kraft that was printed with a light gray tag under the image which was in white. The sentiment is from a set that came with a magazine from Practical Publishing quite some time ago. A Christmas ribbon and lots of fun Nuvo Crystal Drops finished off this tag.

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you have enjoyed this fun month full of such variety with so many sponsors that we are truly grateful for.

As always, if you have the time to leave a comment, I really enjoy reading them!

Dragons with Christmas Gift Tag

This month we are having a sponsor showcase over at The Outlawz, Twisted Thursday. This week, the optional twist is Recipe = 1 Image, 2 Patterned paper, 3 Embellishments.

This cute dragon image comes from Dragons Lair. I used my PrismaColor colored pencils over Kraft that was printed with a light gray tag under the image which was in white. I had three Christmas bulb embellishments that went well with the two patterned papers. Just a bit of gold thread finished up the tag.

Please do visit our sponsors to let them know how much we appreciate their support.

Cocoa for Santa and Carrots for the Reindeer

Day six on the  Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop:

Since it is National Cocoa day, I thought it appropriate to create a Christmas tag showing a nice warm mug of cocoa for Santa and some carrots for his reindeer. Of course, once I learned who Santa was, I started leaving coffee and cookies. 

The mug die cut is from My Favorite Things Hot Cocoa Cups, the stockings are from Joy Crafts; I made the carrots myself.

Christmas Tag with Poinsettia; but, Coffee First

Day five on the  Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop:

I created a double layer tag, so the top is popped up over the coffee mug. The die cut comes from My Favorite Things Hot Cocoa Cups. The poinsettia and holly leaves stamps come from a Stampendous set called Wrapped Poinsettia. Sentiment is from Stampabilities called Coffee. The poinsettia comes with matching dies, so this is layered. Both the mug and the poinsettia were colored on smooth brisol paper with Koi Coloring Brush Pens. Twine and Nuvo Crystal Drops finished off this tag.

Pug in a Mug

Day four on the  Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop:

A little tea and a little coffee!

I need more tags for Christmas gifts, so I chose to use Tea Time, a BigZ die from Sizzix. I added a cute little Need a Pug from Pink and Main. The pug was colored with Prismacolor colored pencils, I added some clear gel over the scarf and some Spica glitter pen in black for the eyes. the coffee beans are from a Fiskars set, and the pug and little tag were popped up.
