12 Holiday Tags - #8

It's day #8 of 12... my, it's going by fast!  

 

I'll be Home for Christmas... one of my favorite holiday songs was the inspiration for this simple tag.  The tag shape and house are files from Creative Fabrica.  The sentiment is foiled using the Foil Quill.  The heart is from the library.  

I left the lettering unfilled.  The duo font used is Biscuits and Tea from fontbundles.net (it was free when I added it to my library).  I like the pop of colors with the teal colored foil and the read in the heart which is popped up on a double foam dot as the house is also on foam.  

Thanks for your support and thanks for stopping by again.  It's been fun to spend time crafting and creating and playing with the software this year.  I'm looking forward to learning more in 2024!   Again, feel free to drop by the FB page for more inspiration -- 

12 Holiday Tags - #7

We've already had our first snow of the season here -- and it's been on the cold side since the month started!  However, seeing all the fun tags that the FB group gals have been creating, sure warms this girl's heart!  Be sure to drop by and share your thoughts and ideas!  




It's definitely hot chocolate weather here....  I've had this file FOREVER!  :)  It's from MyScrapChick.  I did add a small gingerbread cookie (from the library) for a little more interest.  The snowflakes have been "painted" with Wink of Stella.  I used a white paint pen to "stitch" on the circle beneath the snowflakes.  The mug paper is from a retired stack from Stampin Up ... the rosy color was perfect to use as a background for this fun mug which was resized a bit.  

You can add a personalization to the "chocolate" as it's a pull and slides all the way out. 

Thanks for stopping by - and I hope your creative time lifts your spirits as much as my time does for me.  

12 Holiday Tags - #6

It's day #6 -- and we're half way through the reveal!  And these are just mine!  Check out the FB page for additional creativity in this year's reveal.  

2023 has been another year of experimentation for me.  It's been fun to play, learn new software and create designs that have been fun to play with.  While this design isn't truly all mine, it was fun to play with shapes from the library and commands within the SCAL software to create something from scratch.  I think this is one that a couple of the grands will want to replicate!    

I used some coiled wire for the arms and legs for my milk chocolate iced cake.  The dots were added to the scarf using a white paint pen after the pieces were inked.  The mittens and boots are from the library and not altered.  This tag was made from scraps!  

What have you been creating?  Hoping you've been able to find some time in your creative space over the last few days and have carved out a bit more time this month!  

12 Holiday Tags - #5

Welcome to day 5 of the 12 Holiday Tags reveal.  It's sure been fun to share some time with you.  Hope you'll take the time and drop over on the FB page to see what everyone else has been creating...

maybe you'll find some ideas for gift giving tags or tree or window decor while you're there.  

 

Holiday Hugs!  I love the green foiled sentiment on this one.  The foil quill has definitely paid for itself and then some!  I love using it and prefer it over using pens or markers at this point in time.  

The "leaf" file is from Creative Fabrica.  It is foiled and a shadow layer was created and cut for a little more definition and texture on the tag.  I used some Nuvo Drops (Metallic Rhubarb Crumble) for the berries.  Sadly, I brushed against the tag while things were drying and messed it up a bit, and just didn't have enough time to recreate the tag.  I used some organza ribbon for the hanger.  

Thanks again for stopping by!  Carve out some creative time and enjoy nurturing your heart and creative spirit every day.  

12 Holiday Tags - #4

It's Day 4 already!  We're already a 1/3 of the way through this year's reveal!  Have you been able to check out the other creators' designs yet?  If not, today might be your chance.  Hop on over to the FB page and take a peek.  

Create a winter hat  tag -- this design has lots of potential and is created using shapes from the SCAL 6 Library!  Once the pieces are cut, consider adding some details using embossing and or inking.  

We added some white paint dots using an Artistico paint marker, inked all the edges.  A pom-pom from the stash was glued to the top of the hat after the hanger was added.  Some foam dots were used to pop-up the brim of the hat.  A little bit of Wink of Stella was added to the berries and a dot or two of white for a little more interest was added as well.  

Hoping you're enjoying this year's reveal.  Hope you'll drop by again tomorrow!
