Paper Smooches Let's Chill Snowman

Hey, I am here crafting away to get those gifts, gift tags, and cards made for my extra special friends and family.  My massive Christmas cards bonanza post is coming on Friday. Stay tuned for that. But for today I am doing my last post for
Ellen Hutson 12 Tags of Christmas with a Feminine Twist 2017 Challenge.
Paper Smooches was one company I began to follow many years ago and this was my very first stamp set. And since today is all about wanting to finish this year's Christmas tags 2017 Challenge, I felt it was appropriate to use him. So here it is:
I stamped on Neenah White Cardstock #80 with Memento Tuxedo Black ink, and die cut it into a circle. I used a combination of Spellbinders dies from two sets as to have them stair step in size. The die cutting tool was my Platinum 6. The next steps were to cut a piece of transparency for the top layer, and using American Crafts Gold Glitter thick cardstock one piece a size larger, and 2 with the centers cut out. I sandwiched these (with the centers cut out) in between the larger gold glitter circle and the transparancey. Adhesive was Ranger Crystal Lacquer and did a fabulous job drying clear. I used Kennedy Grace Creations Chantilly sequins. I am apart of their design team and just loving using their sequins! Brings such fun to projects, don't you think?
  Of course, I am getting ahead of myself. Copic Coloring is my favorite thing to do, and he was easy to color. Marker colors: C1, C3, but I added B000 to make him look "cold". His scarf colors: YG17, YG67, R29, R24 and carrot nose: YR07, YR15.
The tag and holly were cut from Bazzill Forest Green cardstock, with a gold Krylon pen used all around the edges. Such an easy technique to add pizzazz and dimension on darker papers. Adding the Christmas Red Stickles as "berries" to finish the holly. All adhered together again with Ranger Crystal Lacquer.
Day 12 Interactive whether sing, slide, shake or open.

Pattern Paper Poinsettia Tag

Using Stampendous Poinsettia stamp set I stamped on pattern papers and even stamped the extra flourish with Versa Mark ink pad, and then added Stampendous Frantage embossing with pink flakes. Cut a large tag from scrap of My Minds Eye green polka dot pattern papers. The leaves were cut with a 1.5 inch circle punch to make a leaf shape. Loads of fussy cutting otherwise of the stamped images. Added more Versa Mark ink around the outside and then heat embossed the edges using the same powder. Just to give you a better idea, here are the supplies I used:

Super fun in real life and the ribbons were May Arts Pink and Cream ticking and pins were Maya Road and Tim Holtz; Paper Smooches Merry Christmas die cut in pink cardstock; Stickles, flower center, and Crystal Lacquer were also used. I loved the soft feminine look of the tag. Enjoy!
