Loll's Christmas Tag Event



It's time again for Loll's Christmas Tag Event.  This is the 3rd year I have had the pleasure of participating in this event.  My tag is for Day 9.

For my tag I started out with CUTplorations Luggage Tag dies, and a sheet of Kraft paper.  I covered the cut out tag with Gesso, and sprayed with Dylusion Ink Sprays.  While wet, I sprinkled on glitter.  I stamped 3 stars from CAS-ual Fridays Snowy Sayings, I used a sentiment [from the same set] with white embossing powder, and then cut out 3 more stars from CAS-ual Fridays Funky Flakes Fri Dies. I used black embossing paste and an ARTplorations Weaving Stencil along the edges.  I tied off the top with ribbon and twine.  

Pop on over to Loll's Christmas Tag Event and check out all the fun tags for the 12 days.

Thanks for having me design Loll - it was fun!

Loll's 12 days of Mixed Media Christmas Tags



It's the fun time of year when Loll Thompson has her 12 Days of Tags Challenge.  This year is a mixed media challenge;  stamps plus ink, plus 2 other elements which add texture and/or dimension.  I am thrilled to be a Guest Designer for this fun event.

I do love doing mixed media -- it is very messy, but fun at the same time!  

For my tag I used Gesso, embossing paste, medium gloss, stencils, a Finnabair stamp [961923] - (thanks Loll), along with a Memory Box Ornament Die, and some Christmas buttons I had in my stash.  Whew!  See why I said messy?  I should of taken a photo of my desk ;).

Now, it is your turn to play along!  Pop on over to Loll's blog and read all about the challenge, along with the sponsors!  Yep, there are prizes~

Loll's Christmas Tag Challenge!


I was really excited when Loll asked me to be a Guest Designer for her Multi Media Christmas Tag Challenge!  I really enjoy multi media, I just don't do it very often.

It started out with PTI's #5 Tag and went from there.  I used so many products;
The challenge of multi media is you just keep layering your stamping [without going overboard] -- so much fun!

We hope you come on over to Loll's Blog and play in the challenge! It started back on November 3 and goes through tomorrow!  I, for one, am always looking for inspiration when it comes to making tags!

A New Product and Challenge

I am joining in with Loll's Tag Challenge today with a new product that Loll enabled me to buy! ;) [Thanks Loll]   It's called Brusho and it is So.MUCH.FUN!!

It starts as a little jar of powder that you sprinkle on to paper.  I used both regular card stock, and water color paper.  Just to see the different effects.

You then just spritz water on to your paper. The more water you add, the more the color develops. 
Seriously, this is such fun to play around with!  So fun in fact, I made 3 tags!



I am totally in love with the vividness of the colors!!

I used the following STAMPlorations images for these tags;
Vignette; Christmas Block
Vignette; Chevrons & Arrows
Holiday Sketches; Christmas Flower
Holiday Sketches; Christmas Bells
The Bee's Knees; Rosebuds

I hope you pop on over and play in Loll's challenge.  Tags are really popular in blogland this week, go ahead get on the band wagon~
