12th Tag of Christmas

Hello!  I am happy to say I have finished my final tag in Linda's 12 Tags of Christmas challenge.  Her challenge is sponsored by The Funkie Junkie Boutique.  I have had fun playing along as Linda is always inspiring in her beautiful artwork.  Week #12 tag had a pocket and some fun inserts. 

 I decided to go with my neutral colors again just because I love how they look.  I did layer my background following Linda's inspiration.

I took a jumbo tag and folded the bottom up.  I stamped the holly in the background and embossed with ivory embossing powder.  I then stamped a script across the background.  I mixed a variety of sprays over the backgrounds of all my pieces. 

The bottom flap got a layer of embossing paste spread over the surface.  I then laid the concerto stencil into the paste to create an imprint. 

To apply the sentiment I stamped it onto tissue paper with versamark and heat embossed with the ivory embossing paste.  I then used fast finish to collage it over the bottom.

Well I hope you are all staying warm. We are below zero right now with the wind chills.

I'm Seeing Silver Stars

I promised last week to share my second pocket tag inspired by Linda's tags.  I held this tag after I realized yesterday's tag had silver stars on a blue tag too!

When you open up the inside you see there is a little pocket for my tag: 

This was given to one of my daughter's friends for her birthday so I added the sentiment of wish big. 

The front is fairly plain with just the silver trim and a smattering of stars. 

The background is a mix of leftover spritzes on my craft mat.  I always like to soak them up onto cardstock to be used on future projects.   I added a metal foil trim which was embossed with chevron.  I embossed my brads with silver embossing powder to match.  The twine was painted with Ranger Distress Paint - Silver to coordinate.  The stars are from a Heidi Swapp stencil and Wendy Vechhi Silver Embossing Paste.

Linda has one more pocket tag on her blog made of silvery colors and I can't wait to have a play with it.  So you will be seeing one more folded tag this week. :) Have a wonderful New Years Eve!
