Christmas Tag Exchange

Hey there,

Thanks for stopping by! I have a great post for you today- it is my creation for a gift tag exchange I try to participate in every year. It is SO much fun.

So, instead of having a cookie exchange, which is so yummy, one of my favourite crafty friends has a Christmas Gift Tag Exchange. She limits it to 12 ladies, each lady makes 12 of the SAME tags and then you exchange tags. You end up with 12 different and beautiful gift tags. It is so much fun to see what everyone comes up with!

I used the Santa's Sleigh Thinlits to decorate my tag.

It's a little hard to see it, but I sponged some white craft ink onto the branches of the tree and added some Wink of Stella - so pretty in real life.

Here is the table full-o-tags!

Awesome right! As you can see there are few other really fun treats for us who participated - my friend has many talents beyond papercrafting.

Here is a final shot of all the tags I created - I made a few extra to keep for the presents I will be wrapping.

Happy stampin'

Tammy

Merry Christmas Blogging Friends

Hey there my stampin' friends,

Have we got a Blogging Friends Hop for you today! We have the most amazing guest hopper with us this month - he is one of my stampin' idols. Brian King! He is one of Stampin'UP!'s top demonstrators! I cant' wait to see what he has created for our hop!

First, let me share my cards I have made for this hop. The theme is Christmas, of course. And so I decided to use the bundle that first caught my eye in our 2016 holiday catalogue - Santa's Sleigh! I just LOVE the Sleigh and all of it's detail possibilities.

Here is the first card I made...

I just love how this turned out. I used some stamping and some cut images using the framelits from this bundle. My colours on this card are Tip Top Tope, Whisper White and Cherry Cobbler. I also used the Gold Foil for the sleigh overlay.

Here is my second card using the same bundle....

With this card, I wanted to show how different cards can be even using the same bundle. I wanted to use that cute little reindeer and the great tree created from the framelits. My greeting is from the stampset Teeny Tiny Wishes.

These cards are some of the cards I will be sending my family and friends this Christmas.

Thanks so much for stopping by my blog. Please be sure to hop around to all of the stops on our hop - we have some truly talented card creators!

Happy hoppin'
