DP Christmas Card

Hi!
Thanks to all of you for your visits and comments on my recent tags. Truly humbled by the response especially on Instagram.

Supplies Used:
Rasberry Road Designs - Christmas DP
sentiment stamp unknown
black embossing powder
A quick card put together with strips of DP and an embossed sentiment.

Hello!
I have three more tags to share today for The 25 days of Christmas tags event. Thoroughly enjoying myself crafting Christmas tags and cards but don't have enough time to blog as well.  

TAG #1
Not happy with how my snowflakes turned out but the cute snowman sticker makes up for it.


The hostess of the event Tracey McNeely was my muse for this tag. See hers below. 
Supplies Used:
Studio G - snowflake 
K. Andrews Design - sentiment
Sandylion dimensional sticker 
oxide ink
white embossing powder
Snowflakes were heat embossed on the tag, blended with oxide ink, spritzed water, the sticker added and sentiment was stamped.

TAG #2
The berries appear cracked because I heat embossed after adding the glossy accents. Fortunately not so visible in reality. 


Tracey McNeely was again my muse for this tag. 
Supplies Used:
Verve Stamps - Beyond measure (sentiment)
gold embossing powder
Nuvo creative pens
glossy accents
The holly-berry image was drawn on green cardstock, fussy cut, then added veins to the leaves by drawing directly with the pen then using the blender pen over it. The berries were again drawn on red card and glued over the green. The sentiment was heat embossed. After creating a valley fold on the leaves, the image was adhered on the tag and finished off with a few glossy accents on the berries and heat embossed dots.

The 25 Days of Christmas Tags (day 1, 2 & 3)


Hello!
Most of you must be aware of the annual 25 days of Christmas tags event by Tracey McNeely. I doubt I would bother making tags if not for loads of inspiration and of course prizes during this event.

TAG #1

Here's one with a better view of the shimmer 

This tag was inspired by SSS challenge team designer Ankita's tag in the pic below.
Supplies Used:
Hero Arts - Designer Snowflakes
Uniko - Snowflake Trio dies
Ippity - Season of Joy (sentiment)
vellum 
white ink
glossy accents
clear wink of Stella
Snowfalkes were stamped on the tag, the sentiment heat embossed, the vellum die cut snaowflake was adhered at the tips only with glossy accents, added a drop to the top as well to cover the drop seen through, added more to the centers of the larger stamped snowflakes and finished off with wink of Stella on the large die cut vellum snowflake.
