I'm delighted to be today's guest designer participating in the 12 Days of Christmas Tags with a Feminine Twist challenge, hosted by Ellen Hutson, LLC. For 12 days, an EH designer and a guest are sharing tags made using a specific theme. Today is Day 11, and I couldn't be happier to be sharing a couple of tags I designed with Impression Obsession product and today's theme of Country Christmas with long-time friend, Kittie Caracciolo!
Catch up with all the previous days shares at the Ellen Hutson Classroom blog -- you are sure to be inspired! And play in the challenge for your chance to win a $150 gift certificate from the Ellen Hutson shop! Wowza!
For my first tag, I die cut Layered Tree from Classic Cream and Caramel Apple card stock. Using Brushed Corduroy Distress Ink, I stamped the cream colored tree with the French Script stamp. I inked the edges of the die cuts with the same Distress Ink, and added spritzes of mica spray to add a bit of sparkle, and blur the ink of the script stamp impression.
I die cut the star from the Christmas Shaped Tags die set from gold glitter paper, and added it to the top of my tree with twine and a pretty red button. Finally, I die cut Patchwork Holly from the same card stock colors and adhered the holly leaves to the bow tied around the top of my wrapped gift.
I couldn't complete the Country Christmas theme without throwing in a chicken, so here is a bonus tag design for you!
To create my Chicken Snow Globe tag, I started by die cutting the Deer Snow Globe and one of the chickens from the Roosters and Chickens die set from blue card stock. The snow globe design actually features a deer in the center, so I snipped the deer from the die cut shape and adhered the blue card stock die cut shape to white glitter paper. I used sharp scissors to cut around the die cut to leave the white glitter paper as the back layer of the ta. Finally, I adhered the chicken in place with foam adhesive.
I also die cut holly leaves using the Patchwork Holly die set, and added the tag to my package with twine and pretty ribbon.
Be sure to check out all of the tag designs shared during this year's 12 Days of Christmas Tags with a Feminine Twist. There is so much inspiration to be seen!
