Celebrate the Season Tags from Taylored Expressions

Hi everyone,

This week has been filled with a lot of drama - sickness and a swirling whirling lot of trips to the doctor's and hospitals. I have often dreamt about Calgon taking me away! But in the meantime before I am swept  away by bath salts, I just wanted to share some tags that I made using the sweet stamp set: Sparkle and Cheer from Taylored Expressions. This was a two part tag - the top layer is a clear acetate sheet that is cut out and embossed with snowflakes (Tim Holtz) and the bottom layer is a sheet of bazzil blue paper (pearlescent) that is cut out with a strip of paper that allows a layered look with the blue scalloped strip on the top of the acetate sheet. 

The two are attached by a jumbo eyelet and then attached with a silver ribbon and outlined with liquid pearls. I stamped the sentiment and then adhered it with layers onto the snowflake punched out with the large snowflake die from the Winter Wonderland Snowflake dies (set of 3) Taylored Expressions. It was fun to create an assembly line and here is a bunch of tags created with this awesome die and stamp set:

Here is another angle showing the dimensional-ity of the acetate sheet on top of the blue cardstock:

And here is how the tag looked when layered on top of each other - love the embossing on the acetate layer:

Tag Ingredients:

Stamps: Sparkle and Cheer from Taylored Expressions

Inks: Bahama Blue and Danube Blue

Accessories: Liquid pearls, EK success scalloped border edge, acetate sheet, jumbo eyelets, silver ribbon, circle punch, snowflake die from the Winter Wonderland Snowflakes (set of 3) dies from Taylored Expressions.

I always forget to make tags in the holiday crafting mode, and am so glad I have some fun tags this year to make presents special. 

Hope your holiday season is filled with celebrations!

Thank you so much for stopping by today!

Big hugs,

Unity Tags of Merriment :)

Hi everyone,

A while ago, the fabulous and lovelyAnglea of Unity Stamps created this darling video for making some quick Christmas tags! I am all about quick and I love the look she created and I so wanted to CASE her, but don't think I could ever create "Angela cuteness" :) but I tried :) Using the super cute new co-brands that Unity is carrying - I used the Snowflakes Fall from Heaven stamp set from Jilibean Soup and the Peace.Love.Joy stamp set by Lisa Hetrick. Somehow, I was going to make just a couple of tags, but once I got started, I couldn't stop creating tags :) Here is a pic of some of them:

And here are some individual shots - I love the sentiments and had fun palying around with the sentiments and snowflakes and of course a well bit of stickles bling :)

I attached a little snowflake that I punched out of kraft and adhered onto the tag and decorated each one with some liquid pearls in the center:

It was fun to create some vertical tags too! On the back of each of the tags, I wrote "To and From" and can't wait to dress up my gifts with some of these tags :)

Here is one gift that I created and its hard to see in the picture, but I stamped some snowflakes onto the box as well in a light brown ink with some white - fun and simple!

Who knew tags could be so much fun to create! So happy to get them done and now off to finish my Christmas shopping! Thanks so much for stopping by today! Hope you are having a happy holly jolly kind of day!

Hugs, 

Sankari :)
