What's this ........... twice in one day

Hello there, me again .......

How's your day been?
I've had a lovely day, cosy and warm in my craft room.  Tags are done, craft bags are packed and I've even finished off some AT Coins ready for a Christmas Swap ..... I've had a great day!

To finish it off I'm playing along with the 12 Tags of Christmas with Loll & Friends again .....


It's Day 3 today (Wednesday) ...... and here's tag number 3


Something a little bit different ..... a layered tag, and I've used vellum!!

I saw a beautiful little tag last month done by Anita from neetandcrafty.blogspot.com and I was inspired by the colours and thought the vellum layer added a pretty delicate look, so this is my take on it.

I also wanted to use this gorgeous little die that I received recently.  Thank you so much hun .... you know who you are .... mwha!


I embossed the vellum layer using the Stampin Up! Softly Falling EF and used it as the backdrop for my Christmas Trees.


I added the stitched frame over the top and covered the trees with some crystal glitter.

I did a little rubber stamping on the coloured tag to add a bit more interest.  I love that you can still see the sprigs through the vellum layer, giving a nice soft, delicate look


I stamped and heat embossed my sentiment on the bottom of the tag and added a little scalloped border to finish it off.

Well, that's me done for today ....... I think it's time for a cheeky G&T.  I've earned it! Cheers!

I will be back tomorrow though.  I'll be joining in the fun with another fab festive event ..... Tracey McNeely's 25 Days of Christmas Tags 2018.

Thanks for popping by ..... enjoy the rest of your day/evening.

Cheerio until next time .......

Happy Friday folks ...... How's your week been? Only two more Friday's before Christmas .... just saying! It's the first Friday in December though, and that means there's a new Craft Stamper Take It Make It Challenge .... the last one of 2018!! We've had a great year on the challenge ..... lots of fabulous entries each month,  and a whole load of amazing winners.  Take It Make It fans ....... you're a very talented bunch! Thank you all for your support. As the festive season is just around the corner, I had to make my inspiration piece a Christmas card ...... plus I still have some more to send! I must say, I'm really liking stamping onto coloured cardstock at the moment and I love this shade of blue from Stampin Up! ..... it's called Blueberry Bushel I started by stamping my sentiment in the centre (from Simon Says Stamp) and heat embossing with WOW's  Platinum Embossing Powder (another current favourite!) I then stamped the snowflakes around the ...

Happy Sunday evening ....... I hope you've enjoyed the weekend. Yeah!!! The Christmas tree is done ....... finally!  Or rather, it will be when I put the last of the baubles on that I got today.  Hopefully there'll be enough on there now.  I'll take some pictures later and you can let me know what you think. The Christmas presents are nearly all bought too ...... they just need wrapping now.  I think I've got everything, I was out shopping this afternoon with the kids ...... they may be easier to buy for now they're older ...... just more expensive!  We met up with hubby ..... he managed to avoid the actual shopping bit, clever that!  We had a lovely family lunch out which was nice .... it's not often its just the four of us. OK .... back to business.  It's time to get the final  Happy Little Stampers CAS challenge  of 2018 underway ....... As you can see, December's theme is ..... Emboss.  What's your favourite way of adding embossing t...

Happy Wednesday ....... My goodness has it done some raining here today.  If it carries on much longer we're going to need a boat!!  The garden at the back looks like a lake ...... Never mind ...... it's the perfect weather for staying cozy and warm, and finishing off all those Christmas cards.  Yeah! I'm almost done ..... I said this week was going to be a good one. I've even got the international cards in the post, and some of the UK ones are all ready to go. They would have been on their way today but, I decided to stay dry and finish off what was on my desk instead ....... This bunch of Jolly Santas are waiting for the little man to collect them ..... 30 cards for all his school pals.  I'm glad the Santa was easy to fussy cut!! Stamped in black ink and heat embossed in clear, coloured with ZIG markers and fussy cut. A little touch of glitter before attaching them onto the cards using a piece of folded acetate so that they bounce a little .... They look so cute! ...
