Ellen Hutson 12 Days of Tags

 

Anyone else going through withdrawals from Tracey's annual 25 Days of Christmas Tags?  I certainly am but the silver lining is that I now have the motivation to play along with Ellen Hutson's 12 Days of Tags.  Each day they provide a holiday song along with DT inspiration from which to create our tags.  

Here are my twelve tags along with the song that inspired them...

Day 1 - Christmas in a Coffee Shop

Day 2 - Puppy for Hanukkah

Day 3 - Feliz Navidad

Day 4 - Let It Snow

Day 5 - I'll Be Home for Christmas

Day 6 - Jingle Bells

Day 7 - Santa Claus is Coming to Town

Day 8 - Sleigh Ride

Day 9 - Deck the Halls

Day 10 - Twelve Days of Christmas

Day 11 - Oh Christmas Tree

Day 12 - Holly Jolly Christmas

Things are pretty busy around here so I kept this post short.  If you have any questions as to what products I used (I tried to use items from Ellen Hutson's line whenever possible) please drop me a line in the comments.  

I hope you all have a wonderful holiday season!

Continue to stay safe and healthy my friends.   _____________________________________________________________________________

Tags, Anyone?

 

I have been trying to use put my card scraps to good use by making a tag or two along the way.  I'm not going into details here on my process or supplies but if you have a question, pop it in the comments and I'll get back to you.

In no particular order here are a few of my recent (non Christmas) tags.

Tags are just the perfect accompaniment to a wrapped gift or gift bag.  Not everyone appreciates the effort that goes into a handmade card (especially the younger crowd) but I still like to personalize my gifts.  These have always worked well for my daughter when gifting to her friends.  I'll part with a tag far easier than a card when it comes to youngsters and teens.  *wink*  

Do you make tags?  If not, give them a whirl.  They're a quick and easy way to get your crafty fix!

It's a New Year!  Continue to stay safe and healthy my friends.   _____________________________________________________________________________

25 Days of Christmas Tags - Final Post (5 of 5)

I've finally reached the end of my Christmas tag.  Be sure to scroll back through my feed if you missed Posts 1-4.  Today I'm sharing the tags I created for Days 21- 26 of the challenge.  (Yes, the challenge is called 25 days of tags however she has been doing a bonus 26th day for several years now.)  

 

To simply my life, you can find the details on Tracey's blog.  In a nutshell though, each day showcases a different manufacturer.  We, the participants, create a tag or tags inspired by her one of her Design Team examples.  

For more details on the folks who inspired me as well as the products I've chosen and, please check me out on IG @juliepeddicord

Day 21

Day 22

Day 23

Day 24

Day 25

Day 26

As always, I had a lot of fun creating these.  It was a bit less "stressful" this year because I managed to have my personal handmade holiday cards (all 115 of them!) finished on Oct. 31st.  Of course it's already December and I haven't gotten them mailed out but I'm working on it.  I'll be sure to share once they're all postal.

Stay safe and healthy my friends!

25 Days of Christmas Tags - Post 1

I look forward to Tracey McNeely's 25 Days of Christmas Tags challenge every year and I would encourage anyone who hasn't tried it to jump right in.  My participation has resulted in many near and dear friendships and I always find so many "new to me" crafters to follow on social media.  I'm so happy 2020 didn't dampen this fun holiday challenge.  

To simply my life, you can find the details on Tracey's blog.  In a nutshell though, each day showcases a different manufacturer.  We, the participants, create a tag or tags inspired by her one of her Design Team examples.  Here are my tags for Days 1-5.  For more details on the folks who inspired me as well as the products I've chosen and, please follow me on IG @juliepeddicord

Day 1

Day 2 

Day 3 (two sets)

Day 4

Day 5

I'm trying to add some diversity to my tags of previous years along with breaking open and using some "virgin" stamp sets.  Days 3 and 5 used such sets.  It was so hard to choose one sentiment and/or image so I made a tag with each of them.   The ironic thing is....I rarely use holiday tags.  I've always color coded my family gifts with different wrapping papers, eliminating the need for tags. But I do love creating them.  There's just something so satisfying in quick little start to finish projects.  Have no fear however.  I share these with my friends so no beautiful tag goes to waste.

 Stay safe and healthy my friends!
