I pulled this snowman stamp out of my stash on Sunday morning to make a few tags to add to my Christmas wrapping supplies.
Supplies: Stamps – Hero Arts, Scrapbook.com, paper – Neenah Classic Crest Solar White, inks – Copic BG0000, BV25, G03, R29, YR09, VersaFine Onyx Black, die – Hero Arts, embossing powder – Stampendous Detail clear, twine – MarkerPOP.
Ellen Hutson is having her 12 Tags of Christmas 2019 Challenge again this year. I always love to see what her designers create. This year, the daily themes are inspired by Christmas Carols.
My tag was inspired by Day 7, Cool Yule with Heather Meeson . After I saw the title, “Cool Yule”, Baloo from the animated version of The Jungle Book was stuck in my head.
So, I colored the MFT sELFIE bear similar to Baloo. Who could be cooler? Shoobie doo bop!

How are your Christmas (or holiday) tasks coming along?

Oh, come on, you had to see this one coming from a mile away!
I used paint chips, sample paper, and dies.
I order envelopes and paper from a company called Paper-Papers. With every order, you get a random sample pack of scraps. I LOVE THIS! Would I really order a pack of 25 sheets of all of the colors? No. But the scraps are great for accents and projects like this. Paper-Papers even puts a label listing the contents on the sample pack, so you know what you are using.
Supplies: Paper – Home Depot, Lowe’s Paint Chips, Stampin’ Up! Brushed Silver, Malmero Perle White, Stardream Metallics Azalea, Dolomite, Emerald, Juniper, dies – Impression Obsession (snowflakes on large paint chips), My Favorite Things (snowflakes on small aqua paint chips), Reverse Confetti (holly & berries), Stampin’ Up! (ornament/hanger), The Cat’s Pajamas (largest snowflake), cord – Offray, metallic cord – PaperMart.
This bright garland arrived here in a Victoria’s Secret mailing. I cut one section off, backed it with white (and “to/from”), and cut around the snowflake.
Doesn’t it make a great tag?
The Christmas tree got put up and decorated over the weekend (check that off the list!). This week, I need to make a new Christmas stocking and work on the annual wall calendar. And finish shopping. Next week will be baking & wrapping.
Have you received any holiday cards in the mail? We get fewer every year. We have received one card so far (from the Heating & Air Conditioning company!).
Supplies: Neenah Classic Crest Solar White (you can’t see this!), Victoria’s Secret paper garland, metallic cord – PaperMart.
My HOLIDAY TO DO LIST was overwhelming me the other day. So, I said “I will make a few gift tags!” Things that are actually on the list, but more ART THERAPY than work!

I stamped a half sheet of cardstock with a retired Stampin’ Up! flower and embossed the centers with gold. The to/from was stamped multiple times on another half sheet. I die cut 4 tags out of each half sheet and glued them together.
