De-embossing and holographic paper adds a different take on the use of these crafting items.  




The holographic vinyl was applied to the white AC textured cardstock, cut using the skycut and then is de-embossed using a paper studio snowflake folder -- the tag is placed face down in the folder and the impression will be the opposite of what you would normally get.  

Shadow cuts of the "H" are also covered with the holographic vinyl and cut.  The upper versions of the H have cut designs of stars, circles and narrow rectangles decorating them.  The "O's" have been manipulated slightly, though that doesn't show much after adding the print 2 cut image.  

Font used is Iowan Old Style. A rounded shadow was added for a little more bulk on the letter.  Then the cuts were added.  A contour cut/shadow layer was created and is the exact size of the letter.  

The digital images are sized to fit into the "o" and are print and cut using the Print 2 Cut  directions in the SCAL software.

This tag was inspired by a tag seen on Pinterest.  The tag layers and elements started as white textured AC cardstock.  The stitching lines are foiled using the Foil Quill as is the sentiment.  The trees are colored using Distress inks and oversprayed with gold. 




The tag layers, star, starburst and sentiment strip are inked using distress ink.  Foam strips pop up the star, the center tree and the sentiment strip.  

The assembled tag is attached to the backing forming a pocket for an extra special something to be added.

How about these cuties from Vera Lane Studios (etsy)?  Digital stamps are so much fun to work with and I do like the images from Vera Lane.


 Coloring done with pencils -- on a printed image sized for the frame.  The image was scanned and printed on glossy photo paper and the paper trimmed to size.  The frame has the sentiment printed on it.   I used Susanna and Monday fonts  for the text.

Just a few more tags to go for this year's reveal.  Today's snowman tag uses scrap vinyl, layers, a colored digital image (my design), a little ribbon.

The base tag shape is a rounded rectangle. Both the shadow and basic layer are covered with vinyl scraps.  The Satin ribbon is stapled to the base layers.  The upper lower layer is also covered in vinyl, the snowman was colored in Procreate, imported into SCAL and cut using the print 2 cut option in the software. A few issues with the glossy accents --

2/3 of the way through this year's tag reveal.  My  mojo hasn't been top notch for this year's group.  Today's tag, is a little mixed media offering.  I love mixing things up a bit and adding some different patterned papers and layering for the tree, dimension with the paper crimper for the main portion of the tag, torn paper, inking, half-dome gems and some modeling paste "snow."
