Tag #10

This was a fast & simple tag with the exception of getting the mini bells on the end of the bakers twine.

This is a zero stamping tag. The Santa stamp is Letters to Santa DSP. I just cut it out and popped it up on dimensionals.

Tag #9

Not very Christmassy, I know, but it was my attempt at one of "Jim Shultz" steampunk type tags.

The best part, I used a stamp set from our upcoming Occasions mini catalog, Rue Des Fleurs. The tickets are from the Attic Boutique Suite set. They are side notes and there are a number of fun things I can't wait to use.

It was fun to do something non-traditional. I just hope someone will like it enough to want it too. :-)

Tag #8

I know it is very plain and simple, but I love it. The tree was stamped with Sahara Sand Craft ink and embossed with iridescent ice. After I made Saturday's tag, I made this one. I needed something simple and plain after that very busy tag. :-)

Tag #6

One time, while on retreat, I spent 10 hours on a card. It was a nothing special card, but I was stumped.  I kept at it and after so much time, all I think about that card is BLAH!
That is how I feel about this tag. I worked on it for 3 days. Not all day, of course, but way too much time. Blah. It is just too much of everything. I do like the winter wonderland banner -that is my favorite part. This was a "Jim Shultz" inspired tag. Today he might be glad I am not using his real name...LOL!

Tag #5

Another "Jim Shultz" inspired tag. I posted this one today on "Use It UP! Friday" because I used some retired paper. I loved this DSP. The deer is clip art from the computer that I printed off and traced onto Very Vanilla CS. I used a retired BG stamp, Linen, to add texture. This tag I love. It was fun to make.

Trending Tuesday....

Hey there stampers.... I have a video to go with this but due to internet issues, I have had 4 unsuccessful attempts at uploading. Hopefully, sometime this afternoon it will be here.

I am inspired by a well-known crafter that has his own line of products (so I don't think I am allowed to mention him by name...let's say is name is Jim Shultz) and does Christmas tags every year.

I used one of his tags as inspiration to create this vintage tag.

I promise to post the video as soon as my provider fixes the network issues. :-)
