25 Days of Christmas Tags - Birch Press Design!

Hi all!  I'm happy to be participating in Tracy's 25 Days of Christmas Tags, this time featuring Birch Press Design stamps and dies!!!  

For my first tag, I used the Let It Snow stamp set and matching dies.  The 3 layered tree stamps were inked with two different green inks and stamped onto kraft card stock.  I then used some white pigment ink and an aqua brush to fill in some spots.  The sentiment and snowflakes are also from that set.

My second card features the Stewart Ornament die, which I cut out with green and silver foil paper.  I layered it onto a die cut circle that I had stamped 'merry' on from the Brushed Christmas Greetings stamp set in grout gray ink.

For my last tag, I watercolored some paper with red and green distress inks then used the Mini Poinsettia die.  I layered the poinsettias and added chunky silver glitter to the centers.  The sentiment is from the Let It Snow stamp set and is embossed with gold EP.  I embossed it twice so that it has a slight shadow effect.

25 Days of Christmas Tags - Lil Inker Designs!

Hi all!  I'm happy to be playing along with the 25 Days of Christmas Tags Hop coordinated by the sweet Tracy McNeely!  I made a trio of tags using Lil Inker Designs stamps and dies.  For the first one, I used the newly released 'Tis the Season stamp set.  I colored it with Copics then sponged some blue ink around the edge.

The second and third tags I made are pretty clean and simple which I think is PERFECT when you have lots of tags to make.  Plus Christmas is a busy time, so whenever I can simplify something during that time - sign me up!  Both tags have sentiments from the All the Christmas You'll Ever Need stamp set.  I freaking love the movie Elf, so I sponged this tag to match this sentiment ;)  I also added big plops of water then dabbed it with a paper towel to remove the ink to add some 'character' to the sponging.

For my last tag, I added a die cut tree from the Rustic Christmas stamp set (using the matching dies), along with a few trees lightly stamped in the background.  I masked off a 'hill' to sponge on the sky, then added some green sponging to the bottom.
