25 Days of Christmas Tags: Day 25

Hello Everyone!

Today I have reached my FINAL tag for the 25 Days of Christmas Tags, sponsored by Tracey McNeely! You can get all the details and link up your tags at Tracey’s blog right here: http://inmycreativeopinion.blogspot.com/2016/11/25-days-of-christmas-tags-main-post-and.html

I didn’t create 25 tags in 25 days, oooooh no! (plus the bonus 26th day). But I had so much fun challenging myself to be creative with these tiny tags! For my final tag, I chose my inspiration from Day 25 and Amy Coose, from Jilliibean Soup. Take a look at Amy’s original tag:

I love the idea of the framed green tree, so I went with something a little folk artsy and fun! I hope you have had as much seeing all of my tags as I have had creating them!

Thank you so much for joining me today!

25 Days of Christmas Tags: Day 20

Hello Everyone!

Today I’m sharing a tag I created for the 25 Days of Christmas Tags! You can get all the details and link up your holiday tag over on Tracey’s blog right here: http://inmycreativeopinion.blogspot.com/2016/11/25-days-of-christmas-tags-main-post-and.html

Here’s my tag for Day 20!

I love pink at Christmas! It’s just merry and bright and a little fresh! This tag was inspired by Therese Calvird’s tag from Day 20, from Altenew. This is Therese’s original tag:

I love Therese’s tiny tag duo! I fused her tags together to create a larger tag with a pink ornament, bow, and lots of merry! I love this color palette too, and used it on my tag too!

25 Days of Christmas Tags: Day 19

Hello Everyone!

It’s time for another tag from the 25 Days of Christmas Tags! You can get all the details and link up your Christmas tag on Tracey’s blog right here: http://inmycreativeopinion.blogspot.com/2016/11/25-days-of-christmas-tags-main-post-and.html

It’s all about the snow! Plaid always reminds me of mittens and mittens remind me of snow! So this pastel plaid tag is great for a little winter cheer! I was inspired by Melissa Bickford’s tag from Day 19, from Concord & 9th! Take a look at Melissa’s original:

Colorful plaid and a big snowflake were my inspiration. What’s yours?

25 Days of Christmas Tags: Day 17

Hello Everyone!

Today I am playing along with the 25 Days of Christmas Tags! You can get all the details and link up your favorite holiday tag over at Tracey’s blog right here: http://inmycreativeopinion.blogspot.com/2016/11/25-days-of-christmas-tags-main-post-and.html

This is one of my favorite tags! It’s for Christmas, but it’s in such bright, summery colors, and all die cuts too! It was inspired by Jeanne Jachna’s tag from Birch Press Design on Day 17. Take a look at Jeanne’s original tag.

I was really drawn to Jeanne’s pretty color palette, very unusual for Christmas, and the background panel too.

There’s only a few days left to play along with the challenge, and win prizes from some AMAZING sponsors too! I’ve go a few more up my sleeve too!

Thanks so much for joining me today!

25 Days of Christmas Tags: Day 23

Hello Everyone!

Today I am sharing a pretty little tag I created for Day 23, Reverse Confetti! You can get all the details and link up your own creative Christmas Tag right here: http://inmycreativeopinion.blogspot.com/2016/11/25-days-of-christmas-tags-main-post-and.html

Lucky for me, I have a few Reverse Confetti pieces that would look great on a tag. Take a look!

I wanted to create something crispy snow white, with cheerful details, just like Amy Rohl’s tag from Day 23. Here is her original:

You can see that Amy provided great inspiration for me! There’s still a few days left to play along and be inspired by 25 Days of Christmas tags!

25 Days of Christmas Tags: Day 14

Hello Everyone!

Today i am playing along with the 25 Days of Christmas Tags, sponsored by Tracey McNeeley on her blog, In My Creative Opinion. You can get all the details and play along right here: http://inmycreativeopinion.blogspot.com/2016/11/25-days-of-christmas-tags-main-post-and.html

Here is my tag for today!

I have created something very different for me today, a very CAS one layer tag made without die cuts. I do make CAS style cards and tags on occasion, but I almost always use die cuts or an occasional digital image. Today, I am trying something new, and I like it! The sentiment is from Paper Sweeties. The ornament is making a big debut! I recently won a beautiful stamp set from Newton’s Nook Designs, the Beautiful Baubles. The detail in the ornament is so pretty that I wanted to showcase it all on it’s own, so all I did was stamp and color with copics. I was really inspired by Danielle Walls and her tag from Day 14, with Neat and Tangled. I love her color combination and wanted to use it in my CAS tag.

One of the things I LOVE about tags is that you can create any way you like, using your favorite products or experimenting with new techniques. Today I’ve tried something new, and I’m glad I did! What new techniques will you try in 2017?

Thanks so much for joining me today!

25 Days of Christmas Tags with Serendipity Stamps

Hello Everyone!

Today I am sharing a shiny gold shaker tag made with one of my favorite Serendipity Stamps dies! This is a Christmas favorite every year, and I love to use it to make tags. Take a look!

I made the ornament out of gold foil, and filled the shaker with orange and gold sequins! But my inspiration came from the 25 Days of Christmas Tags, Day 12, and Julie Warner. Here’s Julie’s original tag.

25 Days of Christmas Tags with Poppystamps

Hello Everyone!

Welcome to the 25 Days of Christmas Tags! Today I’m sharing a Christmas tag I created with the Poppystamps team! We are thrilled that you are joining us here today to see some great inspiration and ideas from Poppystamps!

You can get all the details of how to play along with the 25 Days of Christmas Tags over on Tracey McNeeley’s Blog, In My Creative Opinion, right here: http://inmycreativeopinion.blogspot.com/

I created this easy breezy tag by embossing a large Pinpoint Main Street Tag, from Poppystamps, then adding a Pinpoint Dome Tag Decoration at the top, for the ribbon. The pretty green wreath is from our newest holiday release, the Home for the Holidays Wreath. I cut the Prancing Deer from sugary brown glitter paper, so he looks a little magical, and added the Fancy Believe. Tiny berries were cut with a tiny hole punch, and the sequins give it a holiday sparkle!

We have got brand new inspiration and ideas every day, monthly challenges where you can win some beautiful prizes, and Look Books that will take your breath away!

25 Days of Christmas Tags

We have reached our final tag, Tag #7! Each of today’s 7 tags have been inspired by Tracey McNeely’s 25 Days of Christmas Tags. You can see all of the wonderful tag inspirations from dozens of talented designers and participants right here: http://inmycreativeopinion.blogspot.com/2015/11/25-days-of-christmas-tags-main-post-and.html

My final tag was inspired by one of my favorite designers, Jean Manis, who is representing Reverse Confetti. I love the bright colors and graphic design of Jean’s sweet and tiny tags!

If you are a Jimmy Buffet fan, you’ve probably got a few of his Island Christmas tunes on your holiday play list. One of my very favorite, of course, is “Merry Christmas, Alabama,” which is Jimmy’s home state. From our sugar sand beaches of our magnificent Gulf Coast, we wish you all a Merry Christmas!

Thanks for joining me today for our fun with TAGS!
