Thecraftycardmaker: Christmas Tags

Hi everyone, every year Bee Crafty share 24 Tags of Christmas. Today I thought I would share the 6 that I made for this year. They are all made on Ranger mixed media tags.

For my first tag, I have used the Art Stamps Robin stamp set. I created the background by blending Antique Linen distress oxide over the tag after I had added a piece of old music manuscript down the right hand side. I blended gathered twigs distress oxide through the text and distressed diamonds inkables. I added a puece of ribbon diagonally across the tag before mounting it on brown card. I coloured the Robin with watercolour pencils and cut him out before gluing him to the tag. I added more ribbon by stapling it over the hole in the tag.

For my second tag, I began by rubbing the festive berries distress oxide ink pad over the Fernando big one. I spritzed this lightly with water then pressed it ink side down on to my tag. I left this to dry, then stamped the word baubleicious multiple times using Versafine Clair nocturne ink. I stamped the bauble and coloured with festive berries and fossilised amber distress oxide. After cutting it out I used foam tape to add it to the tag. I finished by adding red sequins.

My third tag was created by blending twisted citron distress oxide over it and then spritzing with twisted citron distress spritzer. When this had dried I used Versafine Clair rainforest ink to stamp the holly branch from the XL Poinsettia stamp set. I coloured them with mowed lawn distress and added small red flat back pearls to the berries. To finish I stamped the sentiment with rainforest Versafine Clair, using the second and third generation ink on it to add the lighter versions to the tag. I added some Christmas coloured ribbon.

For my fourth tag, I blended festive berries distress oxide over the tag, making the edges darker. I then stamped the small Christmas pudding, from the Christmas Tree stamp set, several times onto the tag using Versafine Clair nocturne. On separate card I stamped the gingerbread man, from the Christmas pudding stamp set, twice, coloured him with pencil crayons and a white, red and black pen. After cutting them out I used foam tape to glue them to the tag. I added several steands of red bakers twine.

For my fifth tag, I began by using the Horizon 2 Skyline inkable with stormy sky distress oxide to create a background. I used a quick glue pen to draw along the edges of each horizon line and added silver glitter. I added the strip of snowflakes and the large single snowflake from the Yuletide transparency print sheet. I added a sentiment from the Snowflakes XL stamp set (sadly now discontinued). Finally I added a puece of blue and silver ribbon.

For my final tag, I blended peacock feathers distress oxide over the tag. I then added the Winter words text from the Yuletide transparency Prints sheet over the bottom of the tag. I used the snowflake dinkable from set 4 with texture paste over the top half of the tag. On separate card I stamped the journaling girl Warm and coloured her with distress watercolour pencils. I cut her out and used foam tape to add her to the tag. I stamped the sentiment, cut it out and edged with peacock feathers distress oxide and stuck it to the tag. I finished with some blue fibres.
