Where are your tags??

Well, it was a decidedly crazy and fun time making Tim’s 12 tags of Christmas 2009.   Fun to play with all those new techniques with some of the best friends a girl can have.  But crazy trying to get all the cool supplies in and all that with Christmas fast approaching.  So what I want to know is, what have you done with your tags?  I got this great idea from Dottie; she even gave me the swag.  I put the swag over the bar in my house as it  seems that all of our windows have shades that need to be pulled down when the sun hits that side of the house (yes, even though we live in Oregon we do occasionally see the sun). I think they look great hanging on the greenery.  Plus they are on display for everyone else to see and enjoy.

Here’s a close up:

oh pretty little tags

So tell me, where have you put your tags?  Take a picture if you can.  And thanks, Dottie, for the great idea.

Here’s a great card by Chris Liles, one of our fantastic, creative volunteers at Creating Lasting Memories.  She works on Fridays if you want to stop by and say, “Hi.” This card was made using pearlescent embossing paste and Dreamweaver stencil LJ896 (that lovely big flourish).  The card stock is Prism Classic Red.  You will need an 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 for the base and one 4 x 5 1/4 for the top.  It is layered to Prism white cut 4 1/8  x 5  3/8.  The sentiment is Cornish Heritage Farms ML7008FUM Christmas Traditions.  This unmounted cling set has a bunch of seasonal sayings.  Chris stamped it and embossed with Red Chili Pepper embossable glitter from PKGlitz.  It was die cut with Spellbinders labels 3.  If I was making a lot of these cards, I would cut all the red top cardstock pieces at once, then emboss them all and leave overnight to dry.  But if you hate to wait for things to dry (I know how that feels too) Chris said it worked just fine to hit it with the heat gun briefly.  If you want to add a little more bling, put some clear or silver rhinestones on some of those dots and tie a sheer ribbon around the top.

As with all of these cards we will be featuring on the blog this month, you can find all the supplies she used at the store.  Happy holidays!
