Ellen Hutson 12 Tags of Christmas: Day 11

Hi there! I’m back with another tag for the Ellen Hutson 12 Tags of Christmas. Today, we’re using the song White Christmas as our inspiration. I thought about using white-on-white (I love the subtlety of white background with white die cuts) but I thought I’d add a touch of icy blue to help make the sparkly snowflakes pop! Let’s get started with the details!

I started by die cutting a white tag using the Happy Christmas label die from Honey Bee Stamps. I heat embossed a sentiment from Season to Sparkle, also from Honey Bee Stamps, using silver embossing powder. I blended a bit of Misty Morning ink using a blending brush around the bottom of the panel. I stamped a few snowflakes from the Season to Sparkle stamp set around the edge of the tag.

Next, I die cut several snowflakes from the Honey Bee Stamps Layering Snowflakes die set using sparkly white cardstock. I layered this over the top of the ink blended and stamped tag.

My die cutter plates are looking a little worse for wear, so the backs of my die cuts have quite a few dents and dings. In order to have a nice smooth writing surface, I die cut another Happy Christmas label and adhered it to the back. The final step was to punch a small hole and add a loop of white ribbon!

Well, that’s all for my tag today. Be sure to check out the 12 Tags of Christmas over on the Ellen Hutston Blog. There are several ways to win some amazing prizes! Thanks so much for stopping by today, and have a marvelous day!

25 Days of Christmas Tags: Honey Bee Stamps!

Good morning! Today, I have the pleasure of helping represent Honey Bee Stamps for Tracey McNeeley’s 25 Days of Christmas Tags event! Each year, Tracey hosts a month of fantastic tag inspiration, focusing on a different company each day, and today we are focusing on the gorgeous holiday products from Honey Bee Stamps!

Honey Bee Stamps has some absolutely fantastic new holiday products that debuted this year. I created this icy winter tag using some of the new products and some older, so let’s get started with the details!

I began by die cutting the new Winter Prism cover plate die, then cutting a section of the detailed die using the Stitched Polygon dies. I also die cut a glittery white Stitched Polygon die, adhering the Winter Prism die cut over the top with liquid adhesive to create some tone-on-tone sparkly texture.

Next, I die cut a Winter die cut greeting from some pale aqua cardstock and some heavyweight vellum. I heat embossed the rest of the greeting on some more aqua cardstock using some sparkly aqua embossing powder. Next, I die cut a few snowflakes using the Layering Snowflakes die set.

I adhered all of the pieces to the tag front using foam and liquid adhesive, adding a few gems to the center of the snowflakes. I punched a hole in the top of the tag and threaded a simple silk ribbon through the top to create a loop to hang the tag!

Well, that’s all for this project! I hope you’ll check out the other inspiration and giveaways on Tracey McNeeley’s blog! Thanks so much for stopping by today, and have a marvelous day!
