Hello there!

Today I´m sharing a Christmas tag, it´s for Muse:ChristmasVisions and the 25 Days of Christmas Tags challenge. I had Kimberly´s tag as inspiration, mainly the layout, the colors I changed to fit a special gift.

I used Distress inks and the Penny Black Alluring stencil in the background, and Tim Holtz Holiday Greens die set for the branches. The Vilda Stamps sentiment was clear heat embossed before I splattered white ink over the tag and added some 3D snow and Glossy Accents to the beeries.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Christmas Tag

Hi there!
I'm back with another Christmas tag, this time in my favorite color green and combined it with gold. It looks a little big on the photo maybe but is in fact about: 9-10 cm.

First I used two circle dies in different sizes to make a round frame base. To cut the wreath out I used the Memory Box Frostyville Wreath die and for the heart Tim Holtz Alterations Mini Hearts set. I stamped the text from Gummiapan, added a bit gold twine and tied a simple ribbon bow. That´s about it I think.
Thanks so much for stopping by!

My First Christmas

Hello there crafters!

It is time for a new challenge over at Muse:ChristmasVisions for The 25 Days of Christmas Tags, this time you have to create a Christmas or Winter-themed tag using snow in some way, here is mine.

I have used a stamp set from Joy Crafts where this cutie can be found, I colored it up with my copic pens and used a Snowfall stencil from Hot Of The Press together with Iced Spruce Distress ink. I also added some Glossy Accents and Star Dust Stickles.

At the bottom I added 3D snow and sprinkled over loose Glitter before it had dried. To finish my tag I added a piece of ribbon and a few sequins.

Thanks so much for stopping by and have a great day!

Hugs, Birgit

Have A Nice Day...

Hi everyone!

 I had some leftover material lying on my desk and I decided to try to make something of it, and it turned out to be a tag.

I used:

Stamps: Sebastians House and Jasmines House by Lavinia Stamps, Beautiful Day by Altenew, sentiment by Svenskatextstämplar

Ink: Distress inks

Border Punch: Artemio

Embellishments: butterfly from a napkin, made with decoupage technique and attached to metal tape so it can be bent, green fringe ribbon, green twine

That´s it for me! Have a great week!

Christmas Tags

Hello everyone!

I think it's difficult with tags, they never becomes really good! Either they become too big ... or it turns out that they have the wrong color theme when it's time to use them. So now I have held on to gold and silver for my Christmas tags that suits almost everything, at least I think so.

And I almost copied Natasha and Cornelias tags over at Muse:ChristmasVisions. Besides that, I do not really know how 25 Days of Christmas Tags work. Do I need to link up there too? And where and when should I leave comments, it seems so complicated?

I link up to Muse:ChristmasVisions and hope that´s enough.

For the first tag I used the Gemstone embossing folder from We R Memory Keepers and a small stamp from an old Inkadinkado stamp set, that I gold heat embossed on vellum.

For the second tag I used the Poppy Stamps Forest Deer die, and the clouds was cut out of vellum with My Favourite Things dies.

That´s all for today! As always thanks so much for stopping by!

A Simple Flower

Hi crafty friends!
I´m just popping in quick to share a little tag that I made to put into a bouquet of flowers with a congrats greeting. It's only 8x6 cm.

I really like how the chipboard flower turned out! First I colored it with my Copics and then I heat embossed it with clear ulta thick embossing pouder. I also used a stencil "Mini Tile Texture" from CraftersWorkshop for the background, and a part of a Svenskatextstämplar sentiment stamp.
Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day!

Happy Thursday!

No card today ... instead I have a gift bag with attached tag to show instead.

I started with stamping and color up the image from Art Impression the Fire Out Set with my Copics. Next, I added Stampendous Fran-tage Shabby Blue embossing pouder and Taupe flakes underneath. I also added Glossy Accents to the fire extinguisher, the glasses and the punched out hearts.

I used a sentiment from K-designs that I white heat embossed on red cardstock, the other patterned papers are also from K-designs. This image makes me laugh every time I look at it, I love the lady´s action!

12 Tags of 2015 - December

Hi crafty friends!

It's not often I do something for Tim Holtz even if it happens that I´m stopping by his blog sometimes to see new products and get some inspiration.

But now it has happened ... although I have made my tag in a not so distinctly vintage style. I have also chosen some lighter colors so that it will better match the Christmas gift where it will be attached. Instead of burlap, I used a different rough fabric that worked very well with the spray paint. Maybe I would have made the wreath a little bigger, at least I think so now afterwards when I look at it. Too late to change that now or...maybe I stick in some more twigs;)

Okay that´s all for me...thanks for visiting my blog today!

Christmas Tag

Hello crafters!

Today I have a new tag made for Muse:ChrismasVisions. I think I've found most inspiration from Ardyths tag even if all the DT members had made fabulous tags. Unfortunately had The 25 Days of Christmas Tags losed when I would link up my entry there.

I used an old Christmas tree stamp from Reprint, resist technique and water colors to create this tag. A Mandy die was used to "God Jul".

Have a lovely day!

Hugs, Birgit

Christmas Tag

Hello there!

Today I´ve created a tag for 12 Tags of Christmas - Funkie Junkie Style - Week #5. I decided to go all in for the sparkly and scribbly with distress inks and embossing paste.

I used Tim Holtz Christmas stencil, and for more sparkle I even mixed glitter and silver Distress Stains in the embossing paste before adding it to the tag:) 

Then the whole tag was colored with diluted Evergreen Bough Distress ink, and the edges were sponged with darker brown and black. All glittery elements are cut out with different dies from Memory Box and Mandys. A couple of Tims chitchat words and of course, the tree charm and seam binding finished of this tag.

Tag For A Man

Hello there crafters!

Here I have tried to stick to the neutral colors when I have made a tag in a more masculine style.

I started with one of the smaller (ready to use) manila tags that are available to buy at the craft store. I stamped it with a couple of stamps in the new Distress ink Hickory Smoke and sponged the edges with Vintage Photo. I also colored in the Seam Binding with the same colors.

I continued with the paper pocket and stamped it in a similar way. I also stamped a butterfly, cut it out and added to the stamped straws. Next I die cut the feather with Spellbinders Nestabilities and heated in Stampendous Aged Gold embossing pouder at the outer end. I edged the feather with Black Soot and attached it with a enamel dot. The sentiment is from Vilda Stamps.

As always thanks so much for stopping by!

Fill Each Day With Joy

Hi there!

Today I´m sharing a tag here on my blog. It stuck me while I was working with it that it was quite a long time since I made a tag at all. I created an autumn style tag using some Distress inks in rich colors along with old stamps from Crafty Individuals CI-209 stamp set. 

The leaves was die cut with the Memory Box Marvelous Maple Leaves die, then crumpled and given a little more color and a layer Glossy Accents. I added one of my favourites Stampendous Aged Silver embossing pouder on the edges.

I could not resist adding the umbrella...from Mama Elephants Up And Away stamp set, colored with my Copics. I think that´s about it, many thanks for stopping by!

Tag - Only For You

Hello there!

Today I have a quick made tag to show with a splash stamp from Norsk Stempelblad the Art Journaling 5 set, and a sentiment from Rox Stamps.

I also used stamp stickers from FabScraps that I added to a piece of vellum, and to finish of I adhered a bling stone.
Okay, wishing you a happy day!

Tag Time

Hello friends!

Today I have gone loose among all the leftover/recycled things that are on my crafting table and put together this tag. Just don´t ask me where it all comes from.

I colored up this chipboard flower that I found with my Copics and added Glossy accents on top, and I must say I really like it.

Ok, that was funny...and it feels good to not throw things away:)

I hope you have a great day!

Pocket Tag

Hello everyone!

Today I have a fairly simple pocket tag to display. First I stamped some text as a background and covered it partially with white dots of embossing paste.

Then I painted a chipboard flower from Tando Creative with Distress inks and heated in some thick clear embossing powder so it looks like dew drops, love it:)

 I also added a little stamped Heidi Swapp sentiment and a few things/die cuts from my stash.

I used some different old stamps and inks for the tag and finished of with a couple of Tims Chitchat words.

Thanks so much for your visit here on my blog today!

Little Christmas Tag

Hello there!

I´m just dropping in to share a little Christmas tag I made yesterday. It has already started to itch in the fingers after Christmas crafts:)

It may look bigger than it is, the dimensions are just 10x7,5cm and it's made with Tim Holtz Alterations Mini Cabinet Card die.

All the stamps comes from Tim Holtz Alterations Holiday Joy stamp/die set and they were heat embossed with white and clear embossing pouder. "Merry Christmas" were cut out with a Mandys die from Engströms.

That´s about it from me today. Whishing you all a happy day!

Hi there!

It's been a few days since the last post here on the blog but I've been busy with other things, I hope, however, to be back now that the schools starts again and I get a little more time for my crafting:) In addition, I bought a new computer and you all know that it of course brings a lot of problems.

For today I've been playing around a bit with my stamps, heat embossing, stencils and Distress inks to make a few simple tags. Ready for any occasion, I like to have that.

As always thanks so much for stopping by!
