Merry Christmas! I hope that you had a fabulous Christmas time with your family and friends.

Today I am sharing a tag with you using some Penny Black products. It felt good to get all crafty again…I don’t think I have made anything in the last 3 weeks – but we are finally home and enjoying some down time after the busyness (and fun) of the last month!

This tag is made purely from die cuts. The tag and the hexagon shape are from the Tagged Creative die set (I think I ran it through my Cuttlebug around 40 times to get all those hexagons!). Not a quick tag to make, but I had a lot of fun and I love the clean and graphic look! After all, it is rainbow and that would make anybody happy! The sentiment is from the Hooray Creative die set, and I cut it out 3 times and stacked them on top of each other. To give it a shiny puffy look, I coated it in some Ranger white enamel accents. To finish it off I sprinkled on some metallic gems and added some white ribbon.

– Tagged Creative die

I just want to say a HUGE thank you to all my blog readers for your love, support and encouragement over the past year. I have had a blast and hope you have too. I’m looking forward to what 2015 will bring.

Until next time,

It’s time for another Tag You’re It! Challenge.  This week’s inspiration tag is made by the lovely Tracey McNeely.

I kept my tag simple with white heat embossing on red card stock, but added extra detail with some sparkle. The ‘Merry’ sentiment was coloured with a dark red Copic marker and then some clear Wink of Stella brush glitter pen was added over the top. You can see a tiny bit of sparkle in the photo.

This week the Tag You’re It! Challenge team are playing along with Tracey McNeely’s 25 Days of Christmas tags.

Maureen Merritt is the the designer this week for the TYI Challenge #11. I love everything about her card, especially the chevron backdrop.

It is pretty obvious where my inspiration came from. I have never made a double tag before, but I quite like it and it certainly adds more interest to the tag. And I just had to get those chevrons in there somehow 🙂

Tracey is also giving away some awesome prizes from Reverse Confetti, Clearly Besotted, CAS-ual Fridays, Neat and Tangled and Paper Smooches.

It’s time for another Tag You’re It! Challenge. We had an amazing 44 entries last challenge. You guys rock!

This week we have a very sweet card made by Lynn Put. I just love that gorgeous cluster of pretty flowers!

I fell in love with the softness of her colour scheme and I used her layout, just changed the placement of the sentiment. I switched up the flowers for a butterfly and some vellum leaves. The pink chevrons are embossing paste (coloured with some dye ink).

It’s time for another  Tag You’re It! Challenge. Can’t believe we are up to number 6 already!

Here is this week’s lovely inspiration tag – made by Karin Åkesdotter.

I just HAD to include a butterfly as you know me, I love my butterflies. To add some sparkle, I created a glittery butterfly using some double sided adhesive and glitter.

The tag was from my scrap pile, but it was made by smooshing distress inks onto an acrylic block and then pressing it onto some water colour paper. I love this technique!

Read All About It

Wise Owl

First up I created a colourful cluster of flowers, that were coloured with Copics and then given a coating of Wink of Stella brush glitter pen.

Next I made a fun bookmark for my son, once again colouring with Copics. The apple is coated in Glossy Accents.

And finally I water coloured the Wise Owl with Distress ink and made a tag. On the back it says “This book belongs to…” I couldn’t resist the googly eyes.
