Today is day 15 of the 25 Days of Christmas Tags 2019
hosted by Tracey McNeely and sponsored by Concord & 9th. You can read about Tracey's fun event and play along here.
I have a few birthday theme Concord & 9th stamp sets, but I couldn't come up with a way to stretch them for a Christmas tag. I also have their Perfectly Penned stamp set. I love the cute tree shaped tags that Chari (here) and Tracey (here) made with the sentiments stamped right on the trees, so I used those for inspiration along with a Christmas gift box that I had on hand.
Instead of a tree die, I used triangle dies to make my tree. The edges of the pieces were brushed with green ink to add some depth (it's a little hard to see in the picture) and I used foam tape behind each piece of the tree for added dimension. The garland is white Nuvo drops, and I simply punched holes out of scrap card stock for the ornaments, tree stump and star. I used Concord & 9th's Perfectly Penned stamp set to add my daughter's name instead of a sentiment. The supplies are listed below.
Many thanks to Concord & 9th for being today's sponsor, and to Chari and Tracey, and all of the other designers too, for their beautiful inspiration.
Fifteen down, 10 to go!

Cute tag! I love Concord & 9th's Perfectly Penned stamp set and you did a fantastic job of stamping your daughter's name with it. My attempts are often hit or miss so I practice before I stamp the actual sentiment/name. You would never know yours was stamped as it is so perfect!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Cindy. I usually practice on a piece of scratch paper first too. An a black Micron 08 pen works wonders for filling in and smoothing out the letters if needed :-)
DeleteSuper cute tag, and what a great idea to make a tree out of triangles. Love ideas about how to stretch supplies. Thanks so much for playing along at The 25 Days of Christmas Tags.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Joyce!
