hi there! i finally got the chance to do some stamping, yay! :) this month's lounge challenge is *tag, you're it*, and the challenge is to create a tag or incorporate a tag in your creation. i decided to make some tags, so i sat down, turned on some christmas music and got stamping! :) these mrs. claus tags were 100% inspired by (ok, case'd from!!) missy ballance. i love her punch people and i wanted to try her mrs. claus ones. i punched a hole in the top and used some metallic string so that they can hang from a gift.
then i was having so much fun making them, i decided to put one on a card! i cut a 4 bar size notecard out of a muse's red gingham paper and added a mrs. claus. i think i need to whip up a bunch of these cards too! :) these are so fun and simple to create using a bunch of circle punches, an oval punch and a couple pens. i used spica glitter pens and a copic marker for her nose. i added the little collar and showed it to my son and he said *why does mrs. claus have a beard?* so then i added some dots to it and now hopefully it looks like a collar instead of a beard, lol! :) the merriest wishes sentiment is from missy's clear holiday set.
next i created more tags using some silver cardstock scraps i found while i was cleaning my scrap room recently, score! i put them aside because i knew they were a great size for tags and they were! i cut them with a tag corner punch, stamped merry christmas, embossed them with the cuttlebug tiny dots embossing folder, then embossed the floral snowflake using silver embossing powder, added a brad, some ribbon and i was done! these tags also work for dawn and jane's chicka challenge, to use something that was given to you. my mom let me *borrow* her big shot last year and i still have it and i just love it! she hadn't used it in a really long time and said that i could have it for a while and i used that to emboss these. thanks mom! :)
and lastly i created some warm winter wishes tags. here in vegas there are tons of palm trees that are decorated with christmas lights for the holidays and i thought i'd make my own version using the open palm tree stampand twinkle stickers! :) this new warm winter wishes sentimentis perfect! these tags also go for glenda's random amusing challengeas well, to create anything but a card. lots of fun challenges out there, be sure to check them out if you are looking for some inspiration!
so it's new moon week!! the movie comes out at midnight on 11/20 and i will be there with all of the screaming teenagers and i can't wait!! and then on friday i am meeting up with rhonda and we are going to see it again! yay! i hope you enjoyed my tags and i hope you get the chance to *play tag* this month as well! thanks for visiting! :)
