Papertrey Ink November 2018 Blog Hop + 25 Days of Christmas Tags: Day 16 & 23

As soon as I saw the inspiration photo for the Papertrey Ink November 2018 Blog Hop, I knew I'd find the time to play along.

I've also been playing along with Tracey McNeely's 25 Days of Christmas Tags and decided to combine my Blog Hop entry with a tags inspired by Joyce Mehrberg on Day 23.

  

A pair of red and white PTI Made with Love Tags 3 are prepared first and a Silver White Winters snowflake die cut from a white tag and adhered to a red tag. The two snowflake tags are then stamped with a Holiday Cheer sentiment and tied with black twine.

A Baker's Twine bow is tied on the snowflake negative tag and it is adhered to a card base.

For Day 16, I was also inspired by Joyce, although I went with a white & blue color palette. The PTI base tag is inked in a soft blue and the tree line tag adhered after the PTI Traveler's Journal: December Typed Words sentiment is stamped. An Ellen Hutson skier finishes off this tag.

I hope you get a chance to check out the galleries of both the Blog Hop and 25 Days of Christmas Tags challenges!

25 Days of Christmas Tags: Day 17, 18 and 19

I have another trio of tags to share for the 25 Days of Christmas Tags 2018 challenge. All the details can be found at In My Creative Opinion.

For Day 17, Carol Mayne's whimsical trees prompted me to pull out a rarely used wood mounted stamp from Savvy.

 

I also pulled out my rarely used Brillance inks for a little shimmer. The sentiments are from PTI Traveler's Journal December Typed Words.

For Day 18,  I was inpsired by Kay Miller's red and aqua colored snowman tag.

I stamped the snowman and sign onto a white panel and then die cut the image to fit in the center of an aqua tag. The snow and trim on the hat have a little added sparkle thanks to Wink of Stella.

For Day 19,  it is the stitched tree on Melinda Spinks's tag that caught my eye.

Stitched line dies were used to cut the edges of the tree first and then the tag was embossed with the falling snowflakes. Gold thread was stitched through the holes to great the tree. A simple heat embossed MFT Snow Globe sentiment finishes this tag.

Muse #291 + 25 Days of Christmas Tags: Day 12, 13 and15

I have three tags to share inspired by Muse #291 and 25 Days of Christmas Tags.

Tracey's Muse tag is also featured on Day 12, and the inspiration for my first tag.

The MFT bears are stamped and masked so the Worn Lipstick and Squeezed Lemonade Distress Inks can be blended and splattered. I'm in love with this sky color!

A few soft Copic colors and Mama Elephant sentiment finish this tag off quickly.

For Day 13, it is Teri Anderson's peppermint drink that inspired me to pull out a coffee cup die and embossing folder.

A Hero Arts sentiment is stamped on the Memory Box die making this a super quick and simple tag.

For Day 15, Monica Taylor's stag head and use of patterned paper caught my eye.

I cut my stag head from patterned paper, taking care to line up the nose with a red flower. Keeping this one super simple, I stamped "to" and "from" on the back and left the front without a sentiment.

Freshly Made Sketches #363 & 25 Days of Christmas Tags: Day 10

I have a card and tag to share today. The card was inspired by Freshly Made Sketches #363.

The Memory Box Sparkling Tree Tile die is cut out of the panel and a MFT Snow Globe Sentiment added below.

This panel is popped up over a slightly smaller inked panel, a strip of glitter tape is added to the card base and then the panel adhered to the card base. 

For Day 10 of the 25 Days of Christmas Tags challenge it is Tracey's shaker tag that inspired my to make my own.

The MFT Rectangle Shaker dies, Studio Katia houses, Copic markers, glass beads and glitter are used to create this little scene.

25 Days of Christmas Tags: Day 11, 12 & 14

I'm almost caught up with Tracey McNeely's 25 Days of Christmas Tags with three more to share today. You can get all the challenge details at In My Creative Opinion.

For Day 11,  I was inspired by one of Joyce Mehrberg's tags.

I used the same colors as Joyce, reversing the tag and poinsettia colors. The "o" from the MFT sentiment is replaced with a Poppystamps Small Blooming Poinsettia die cut.

For Day 12,  Joyce is once again the inspiration with her sweet, CAS tags.

Lawn Fawn Simple Celebrate Winter provides the images and sentiment for this Copic colored pair of tags.

For Day 14,  Natasha Kara's tag had me reaching for my Rubbernecker Watercolor Candle stamp.

After the image and a MFT Snow Globe sentiment are heat embossed on the tag, Zig Real Brush markers are used to color the image.

This tag is also being linked to the Muse: Christmas Visions #113 challenge.

25 Days of Christmas Tags: Days 2, 4 and 7

I'm still catching up on Tracey McNeely's 25 Days of Christmas Tags and have a trio of designs to share today.

 For Day 2, I was smitten with Kymona Tracey's charm embellished watercolored tags.

 

A trio of PTI Folded Tags are watercolored with Zig Real Brush markers before the Mama Elephant Jingle Greetings sentiments added. Each tag has a snowflake charm and jingle bell added to their twine ties.

For Day 4, Design Team member Carole Mayne inspired me with her layered tags.

 The MFT Tag Builder Blueprints and Gift Tag Greetings are used to create this trio of tags in white. black and kraft combinations.

The tags are stacked so the second sentiment is hidden.

For Day 7, I was inspired Tracey's layered ornament tag.

Once again, Design Team member Joyce came to the rescue and I borrowed her Birch Press Design Caprice Heart Layer dies to cut the layers in Christmas colors.

A MFT Jingle All the Way heat embossed sentiment and white silk ribbon finish off this tag.

25 Days of Christmas Tags: Day 5, 8 and 9

I'm getting caught up with Tracey McNeely's 25 Days of Christmas Tags with another trio of tags to share. You can find all the challenge details here.

Newton's Nook Designs is the sponsor for Day 5 and I was inspired by several of the ornament shaped tags and Design Team member Lindsey M-P's stockings to pair a PTI with Newton's Nook Designs Holiday Wishes images and MFT Snow Globe Sentiments.

The images were stamped first, then the tags die cut and the images colored with a rainbow selection  of Copic markers.

For Day 8, I was inspired by Linda Walmsley's Santa on a repeated stamped sentiment background.

MFT's Jingle All the Way stamp set provided both the image and sentiment for this tag. Santa was stamped  and masked, the sentiments added and then the Santa colored with Copic markers. Nuvo Gloss Drops add a little texture to the hat trim and beard.

For Day 9, I was inspired by Design Team member Joyce Mehrberg's delightful wreath wearing flamingo.

It is actually Joyce's stamp that I stamped and die cut while crafting with her a few days ago. I used the PTI Made with Love Tags 2 dies to provide a base for the Copic colored flamingo and added a heat embossed MFT Snow Globes sentiment.

25 Days of Christmas Tags: Days 1, 3 and 6

It is once again time for Tracey McNeely of In My Creative Opinion's 25 Days of Christmas Tags! 

Even though house guests have kept me from creating until this weekend, I have been checking the blog daily and the inspiration is amazing! All the details on how to play along and be eligible for a fabulous collection of prizes are on the blog.

From Day 1, I loved the detailed top of Debby Yates's tag and was lucky enough to join 25 Days of Christmas Tags Design Team member, Joyce Mehrberg, for some crafting on Friday where I discovered a similar Reverse Confetti die in her collection.

  

The Bubbly Tag Topper is cut in green and added to the black tag base. The Mama Elephant Jingle Greetings sentiment is heat embossed in pink and a pair of pink fibers finish this tag.

From Day 3,  it is Jessica Frost-Ballas who inspired me with her inked and sprayed tag.

A PTI tag is inked with Tumbled Glass and Salty Ocean Distress Inks before being sprayed with a shimmer mist. An MFT Hand Lettered Holiday sentiment is added to the PTI Christmas Cuts snowflake die before it is layered over the inked tag. Echoing Jessica's sequin trim, I added a shimmery fibre to tie the tag.

From Day 6,  it is Debbie Marcinkiewicz who inspired me with her white embossed sentiments on black tags.

The PTI Tag Sale: Quilted Die provided the base for this tag. I decided to keep this one white & black, adding a PTI Silver White Winter snowflake die cut from shimmer cardstock and MFT Snow Globe sentiment. A textured fibre provides the tie for this tag.

I have a few more tags to photograph and plan more crafting tomorrow. Thanks for stopping by,
