25 Days of Christmas Tags


I'm so pleased to be taking part once again in Tracey's 25 Days of Christmas Tags; Simon Says Stamp is sponsoring today's post at her blog!  Members of Simon's Monday and Wednesday challenge blogs were invited to help promote this special event, and it's great fun to have both teams working together this year!

I used one of my favorite new Simon Says Stamp dies and made a shaker tag this year!


supplies: white and Audrey Blue cardstock, aqua glitter paper, Simon's Birch Tree Window die and sentiment from Presents & Ornaments, confetti mix, stitched snowflake dies, Stitched tag die, seam binding bow

I cut 2 stitched tags, and then die-cut my Birch Tree Window from the top one.  Then I constructed a Shaker using acetate and double-sided adhesive foam tape, dumped in my confetti mix and then attached the 2 tags together.  To finish, I just added my sentiment and some glitter snowflakes, along with a seam binding bow.

I hope you'll visit Tracey's blog, In My Creative Opinion, every day to see her fantastic array of Christmas/Holiday tags all throughout this month.  She has 25 sponsors for her 25 days of tags!





Do you want to win a prize?  Prizes will be drawn from the comments on Tracey's posts each day, the posts of any or all of her guests, and by creating a Christmas Tag inspired by a tag you see during the event.  Details and a link up are at Tracey's blog; you have until December 2 at 12:00 am.  Prizes will be announced Dec. 9 on her blog. 

Simon Says Stamp is offering a $50.00 voucher to the Simon Says Stamp store!
