Tags and Tidings At Christmas

Hi!

Are you ready for another week of Christmas inspiration? I think we are up to week 12, which means I have an extra 12 cards in may stash that I wouldn't usually have at this time of year.

I made this week's card last week while I was watching the movie 'Sully' on TV. Have you seen it? The movie tells the story of the plane that landed in the Hudson River and everyone survived. It was quite interesting and exciting, so I think my colouring suffered at times. Luckily I wasn't trying to work on a trickier card!

I used the Tags and Tidings bundle on this card. It's a cute little stamp and die set that makes a ton of sweet little tags. It's one large stamp and one large die, so you can stamp and cut 16 different tags in two quick steps. Nice!

I trimmed the tag loops off of the three picture images, as I didn't need them to be tags on this card. The Holly Jolly one I left, as I liked the shape and timing it would have looked strange to say the least. I coloured the images with my Poppy Parade, Shaded Spruce and Soft Suede Blends Markers. I then sponged some Pool Party ink onto the Whisper White squares behind them. I helps the tags to pop from the background.

It's tricky to see in the photo, but I also sponged the Pool Party ink on the inside before adhering the tag to the cardstock.

You can find the links for the rest of this week's Heart Of Christmas cards over at Claire's blog. I'm loving seeing what everyone makes each week, and I'm sure you are too.

Bye for now,

Tina
