C.C. Designs Christmas Tags no. 8

Holy moly this month is flying by! I have completed a few more quick tags for C.C. Designs and I only have a few more days to get them completed.  Well this little tag started with one thought in mind and quickly evolved into something else but I really think it's cut throwback to poleroids was a quick,and simple coloring mass production tag.  

It opens like a small card measuring 3 x 4.  I used copics to color this little scruffy rascal. Of course this stamp can be found at All that Scraps where you can find all kinds of goodies for the crafter in your world, yourself or someone you love.  I also used a sentiment from Amy R that can't help but make me giggle. 

Happy scrapping y'all 

Hope you enjoy your day:)

C.C. Designs Christmas Tag no.7

I really have to say I ADORE  the dies from C.C. Designs!  They do a perfect job every time and they are extremely versatile, if you like to think outside the box!  I started this tag (and no.6 too) by cutting the tag with the clipboard of the school supplies die. Then I used one of Amy R sentiments (from the Happy Holidays set) to stamp the sentiment on the bottom of the tag.  I used the holly die from C.C. Designs as well to add a bit of decoration.  I used distress ink ( frayed burlap) to ink the edges...that's it folks;)

Have a super great weekend with all your family that ya can't choose and your friends that you have chosen as family!  Happy crafting y'all!

C.C. Designs Christmas Tag no. 6

OH MY GOSH!  Have you been to the store?  It's Thanksgiving weekend in America and they are celebrating in style!  Loads of sales all weekend!  It starts Friday- www.ccdesignsrubberstamps.com it's a great time to get the gift your hubby just might forget about.....just sayin;)

Now onto another tag....  This stamp is from the Christmas trio pack called Vintage Winter.  I stamped it with Staz-On and used watercolor paper.  I watercolored it using Distress Markers.  Then I masked the image using post it paper tape and used a crafters companion stencil. I love Golden products and I used their moulding paste to create the circles.  I then covered the "snow" with Diamond Dust glitter and I peeled the mask off.  I set it aside to dry and it was certainly dry enough in about 20 minutes (I had enough time to fold a basket of laundry and create the red snowflake tag). I also used copic cardinal red to color the cranberries.  While I had the paste out I also added a bit to the branch, creating the perfect Christmas feeling!

Hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving to one and all!  I know I have a ton of things to be thankful for!  Happy crafting y'all!

C.C. Designs Christmas Tag no. 5

Well since I took awhile to post the last tag I thought .....WHAT TA HECK - let's post another one for a bit of inspiration.  For this tag I used Rhea's stitched circles.  I cut 2 circles from the same cardstock and used the scoreboard to crease a 1/4 inch folding top.  Then using  Scotch quick dry wet glue pasted the top onto the creased section thereby creating a top folding tag.  I used a Snowflake die to decorate the front; adding a large pearl from my stash to liven it up a tiny bit.

This would be another easy mass produced tag as it is just a matter of getting your paper and die cutting machine ready for mass production.  I hope you all have a wonderful day and get loads of family time in with your loved ones.  I'm heading outside (with about 50 layers on) to play in the snow with my 5 year old!  Happy crafting y'all!

Cheers

C.C. Designs Christmas Tag 4

I've been missing in action because of a strep throat and infected ears...groan!  I LOVE winter...,not. Well I'm slowly getting back around and feeling like I should be posting again.  Today's tags were by far the easiest and simplest to mass produce. I used White cardstock and Doodlebug Designs doilies to create these. (Did you know the doilies are on sale now...oh gush they are soooo stinking cute!).  I used scotch quick dry adhesive and cut them out using Rhea's stitched circle dies. I chose ink from a bunch of old cat eye and Momento ink spots to closely match the color and added a bit around the edges.  I used some doodlebug twine from a 4th of July package I had bought when it was on sale (C.C. designs has a great clearance section) to create the string hanger and viola another bunch of tags all completed and ready for Christmas action!

Have a Craft Happy day folks!  

Ps I made a third one that was purple however my cat, Nemo decided he liked the purple best for a toy!

Cheers

C.C. Designs: Christmas Tag No. 3

Today's tag is one of my favourites so far!  I loved getting the watercolours out and coloring this cute Holiday Penguin.  Ok,ok I was wanting to try a easy travel watercolour and used the Crayola markers that are my daughters.  They worked perfectly and are so easy to paint in a hurry.  I just colored on an acrylic block- used a water filled brush Faber castell, which of course I got from C.C. Designs and colored away.  I added some Christmas Red Stickles to his Rudolph nose and a little Glossy Accents on the bell.  I used a light blue to create the cool shadow around the cute little penguin and Pumice Stone for the ground.

I actually used dies from stamping up to cut the stars out.  I used Recollections school bus yellow cardstock and artist's Loft watercolour paper.  I wanted to use a thinner watercolour paper to create the tag because I already had a child's gift in mind for this cute little addition to my Holiday tags.  I hope you are ready for some stamping fun!  If you create any tags be sure to post them on the C.C. Designs Facebook Page so we can all see your fantastic work!  I look forward to any and all your creative work!

Don't forget to share the love!
Happy crafting y'all
Cheers
