Christmas Tag, Winter Cabin, Decorative

Another ornamental tag for Day 6 of Tracey's 25 Days of Christmas Tags!

Hope you like it...

This is one of my all time favourite little dies.  It does most of the work for you!

I based my design and colour scheme around Kittie's gorgeous tag.

(See below).

She was one of the first people I started stalking in blog land!

(Love your style, Kittie). x

Supplies Used:

Dies:

Die-Versions (Sweet Petites) 'House and Trees'

Spellbinders Nestabilities - Circles

Memory Box 'Star of Wonder'

Punch:

Martha Stewart/Punch All Over 'Aspen Flurry'

Other:

Acetate - rescued from craft packaging (my favourite kind)

Cord 

If you are brave enough to consider gluing on to acetate, use the smallest amount of glue you can possibly get away with as it will squish everywhere and make a horrible mess.  I use Collall Tacky glue.  You can scrap this stuff off if you find you have accidental glue marks in places.  Not sure if it still scrapes off when completely dry.  Trial and error, I'm afraid.

I did marry up the dies on the back of this tag, too.  Covers up the glue marks that way :)

Thanks again for your patience in reading through my backlog of quick posts.

Have a great day...

Christmas Tag, 'Bauble', Female

I had a rare 'I like that' comment from my husband when he saw this tag that I made to link in to Tracey's 25 Days of Christmas Tags event.  And I really do mean rare!

I have to admit though...  I do quite like it, myself.  

It reminds me of a Christmas bauble :)

Here's my tag.  

I'm linking this one to Day 2 of Tracey's event...

...  and here's Tracey's tag (below).

 Gorgeous, isn't it?    

Can you see how I kept the birch background and snowdrift in place before adding in my own design features?

Dies used:

Die-Versions (Sweet Petites) 'House and Trees'

 Memory Box 'Large Snow Globe' 

Stencil:

Creative Expressions 'Birch Tree'

Other:

Crafter's Companion 'Christmas in Mulberry Wood' Stamp

Memento (Tsukineko) 'Olive Grove'

White Glitter Paper

Brown Card Stock

Sequins

This was my first time using my one and only Die-Versions die.  Do you know of any others that I should have in my stash?  

If you do, let me know...  if you have the time, of course :)

I've got one more tag to post later on this week...   and then hopefully some more next week.  

Yay for tags!  They are such fun to make...  Seriously they are.

Oh yes...  (and I haven't nearly forgotten this time)!!!

As the whole of this tag was made from my snippets stash, I'm off to go and play at 

Pixies Crafty Snippets Challenge... 

...  and a new challenge to me...

Happy Little Stampers

(I'm not 100% sure this qualifies as I'm not clear if I should only be using HLS products.  Hopefully somebody will let me know)!!!

...  and 

That's Crafty Challenge Blog

Won't you come and play, too?
