25 Days of Christmas Tags 2020~Day 5: Featuring Ellen Hutson

Welcome to Day 5 of Tracey's 25 Days of Christmas Tags 2020, where our guest

and sponsor is Ellen Hutson. One lucky winner will receive a $25 gift certificate to their online store.

Given that snow arrived here in October, has melted (more or less in places), and is expected to return over the weekend, I reached for Mountain Holiday for my tags today. That first tag would be my husband, whooshing down the slopes. Lily and I? We'd be home, staying cozy and warm, play with her toys and snuggling on the couch!

25 Days of Christmas Tags 2020~Day 4: Featuring Newton's Nook

Welcome to Day 4 of Tracey's 25 Days of Christmas Tags 2020, where our guest

and sponsor is Newton's Nook, the home of the most adorable cat images EVER (and loads of other fabulous images as well)!

I love snowmen and Frozen Fellowship offers opportunity to go to town in colouring up a bunch at once. I confess to feeling a bit sad that some of them 'didn't make the cut' when I downsized this full-panel stamp into a tag but...they'll have plenty of opportunity to shine on the cards I'll be making!

25 Days of Christmas Tags~Day 3: Featuring Altenew

Welcome to Day 3 of Tracey's 25 Days of Christmas Tags 2020. Hope you're enjoying the inspiration so far and have had opportunity to create a few tags of your own.

Today, we're pleased to have Altenew as our sponsor who are offering a $25 gift certificate to a lucky winner.  Be sure to comment!!

Last year, I welcomed the lovely Modern Poinsettia stamps/dies into my collection andshowcased them in gold/black, as the leaves and sentiments are so elegant. This year, a similar performance, with white added to the mix. Love this set!

I also made a 'matching' set of smaller tags, using Altenew's stamp from the Holiday Seals Stamps, a collaboration of various companies connected through The Stamping Village.  Happy to have re-discovered these seals residing in my collection!

25 Days of Christmas Tags 2020~Day 2: Featuring Simon Says Stamps

Welcome to Day 2 of Tracey's 25 Days of Christmas Tags 2020!

Our sponsor today is Simon Says Stamps, who are offering one lucky winner a $50 gift certificate to their online store. 

I brought out a couple of oldie-but-goodies from my stash for my first tag: the Merry Frame die and the Katie Snowflake.  This frame has had plenty of stage opportunities on cards; this year, given it a solo performance. Versatility, right!. My second tag features the CZ Design Ho Ho Deer Circle die, who is a cutie no matter where you use him!

Dash over to Tracey's blog to see the marvelous tags created by the Simon Says designers, the 2020 Design Team and guest designers. Plenty of festive fun to be had!

The Color Hues Challenge #5~Kraft + Yellow...Sunflower Frame

Hello,

And here we are in November already! Hopefully, this month will be warmer than October. I've had my fill of  'early' winter, thank you!

Welcome to The Color Hues Challenge #5, where Yellow and Kraft are the hues we're playing with for the next two weeks. Even 'looking' at the word yellow makes me feel warmer! 

And speaking of 'warmer', I'm offering up a late summer card this round, featuring ink-blended sunflowers (Paper Smooches dies), set atop a kraft frame, from a relatively new to me company: Paper Rose. I have some of their papers (fabulous), but this is the first die. Cuts wonderfully...even those little bits in the lattice section were easy to remove!  I opted for no sentiment, leaving options open.

Please visit the rest of the team; you'll be sooooo impressed by their creativity:

Nancy

Hannelie

Cindy

Julie

Sheri

The challenge is open until 9:00 AM (EST) on November 14th.

 The winners will be posted an hour before our next challenge goes live.

The overall winner will have the opportunity to be a 

future Guest Designer!

Thank you for dropping by!

25 Days of Christmas Tags~Day 1...Featuring Sunny Studio

Welcome to Day 1 of the much anticipated, eagerly awaited for 10th edition of Tracey's 25 Days of Christmas Tags 2020!  Guidelines for how to win prizes, as well as the play-along linkup, can be found HERE!

To launch this year's event, we're pleased to welcome our first sponsor:

Sunny Studio

They are offering one lucky winner a $25 gift certificate to their online store.

I had oodles of fun playing with Penguin Pals, a set of some of the most darling penguins you can imagine! After colouring a bunch, I made two tags...

and two cards! Couldn't resist! First, a slimline, followed by

an A2 card that uses the wonderfully versatile Window Quad Square Dies set. One pass through my die-cutting machine gave me four perfectly spaced windows, complete with outside stitching.

To add to the cuteness factor: check out these itty bitty tags (a small version of their Build-A-Tag #2 dies), that are also part of the Window Quad set! I made about 10 of these, mixing-and-matching the various top-bottom decor options and cute reinforcers. Here's a trio, just to whet your creative (and shopping) appetite.  Little snippets of adorable!

Head over to Tracey's blog to see the awe-mazing tags created by the Sunny Studios designers, the 2020 Design Team and guest designers. Plenty of eye-candy to be had!
