25 Days of Christmas Tags - Take 1

I must have been sleeping under a rock, but somehow I did not know about Tracy's 25 Days of Christmas Tags ... but I'm not missing out this year.

I started with Day 1 and made a tag inspired by this Tag by Laurie Willison.

 

I started with a Tag cut using the Shipping Tags Dies from Essentials by Ellen on Watercolor cardstock.  Then I used the same Stamping Village Holiday Seals Stamp Set, but used the Circle Sentiment by Gina K. Designs

 

Since my tag was smaller, I only used one row of washi tape ... I liked the combination of pink and deep red.   I was also inspired by flipping the sketch at the TGIF Challenges.

 

 

I added a single piece of pink bling to the center of my Christmas bloom and finished with my favorite pink ribbon.

 

And since we don't really give or wrap Christmas gifts, I turned the sweet little tag into a Christmas Card that can send love across the miles.  The floral embossing folder reminded me of the pattern of the flower on the tag.

You are in for some fun making tags this month! This is my third year to do the 25 Days of Xmas Tags and I look forward to it each year! The first year I put the tags on presents and everyone raved about them. Last year I put each tag on a card and mailed them. I'm undecided which I'll do this year! ;) Looking forward to seeing all your tags. I like this cutie and I need to remember to use my washi tape this way! ;)

I also don't do tags on the gifts, we only do stockings. At our age we don't need a lot of knick knacks to dust. I do like using them to make cards. I even thought of just sending the tag in lieu of a card. Anyway back to your adorable tag and awesome card, fantastic job.

This is so pretty. I know what you mean by not using tags. However, I am wrapping someone else's gifts this year and homemade tags are a must!!! I love your pretty stamp that you used and the lovely embossing folder you chose to use on the background.

Last year I made so many tags I shared them with my sister - our presents looked brilliant!
Love the colour combo on this - fab tag!
