12 Tags of Christmas with a Feminine Twist 3

Thanks for stopping by my blog!
My third tag for the Ellen Hutson 12 Tags of Christmas with a Feminine Twist, this one based on the tag by Kelly Alvarez which you can view here. I really wanted to CASE her card - it is just so stinkin' cute! Love the scalloped background and her beautiful work with Copics.

My scalloped background is created using the Fanfare die from Lil Inker's. I used Mod Podge to adhere all these die cuts to a piece of Pure Poppy card stock. The Angel with Heart is an old, old Debbie Mumm stamp from Stampington, which is one of my all-time favorite stamps with which I can never part. She is colored with Copics and mounted onto her wings using foam adhesive. Then I made her a little halo with some beading wire from my stash.
(Sentiment and all card stock from Papertrey Ink)

12 Tags of Christmas with a Feminine Twist 2

Another tag to contribute to the Ellen Hutson 12 Tags of Christmas with a Feminine Twist.  This time I was inspired by this tag from Julie Ebersole - focusing on a water colored background. I used my much neglected Gelatos to create this background. (I also edged this tag with a silver leafing pen.)

Wreath Stamp: Papertrey Ink

Sentiment: Essentials by Ellen

12 Tags of Christmas with a Feminine Twist

After a couple month break from blogging, I am back today with a tag I created for the Ellen Hutson 12 Tags of Christmas. My tag is inspired by the Day 2 tag created by Jennifer McGuire which you can view here. I was attracted to this tag because of the larger size and the flap, allowing for a personal message inside. Every year I make huge batches of my mother's Almond Roca recipe, and gift it to family and friends (they've come to expect this, I am afraid ;)  This will be the perfect tag to attach to the packaging this year.

I used Essentials By Ellen stamps and dies, Papertrey Ink card stock and embossing paste with the Falling Snow stencil from Simon Says Stamp.
