My Last Entry for the 25 Days of Christmas Tags



This is my final attempt at participating in Tracey McNeely's 25 Days of Christmas Tags. This snow globe is able to be used as an ornament, which is my intention. This is going to be my contribution for the stockings at our annual family gathering. I believe I have to make 14 of these. These were made using Stampin Up products. My demonstrator, Robyn Cardon, sent me a holiday catalog. When I saw these products, I knew I had to have them. I love making shakers and snow globes are fantastic. I used the Snow Globe Scene Dies and the Snow Globe Shaker Domes. There is a coordinating Stamp set, but I did not use it. It is called Still Scenes and includes a sentiment for both the inside and outside of a card. I think that is great because you don't find that very often in a set. Because Stampin Up was not a sponsor for any of the days of tags it was difficult to really put it in any particular day. There were days that used reindeer and days that used shakers. The Lawn Fawn day had a lot of shaker snow globes so it kind of fits in there. I don't have products by a lot of the sponsors, so I had to use what I had. I really enjoyed every tag and just wanted to participate as much as possible. Thanks Tracey for a month of fun and inspiration!

In my Instagram post I said that I mimicked a You Tube tutorial. When I received these snow globe items I wanted to make sure I used them properly. I watched several tutorials. I liked this design so I tried to copy it and just put my own spin on it. I don't know how to post the link to the video but if you search Stampin Up snow globe shaker Domes you will find it. It is done by Pretty In Paper Crafts with Tiffany Almeida.

Thanks for stopping by.

25 Days of Christmas Tags: My Lawn Fawn Tag

I fell in love with this tag by Maine Simon over at Tracey McNeely's 25 Days of Christmas Tags day 21 sponsored by Lawn Fawn. I ordered all of the products and made my own following her video tutorial. The only real differences are that I added a gingerbread man and put glossy accents on the candy after adding glitter with my gellyroll Stardust pen. I suffer from hand tremors and so things didn't work out quite as neatly as hers did, but for a first attempt at something so small I was satisfied.

Here is the link to Maine's blog so you can see her tag and video:  https://bluemarinecraft.blogspot.com/2019/11/25-days-of-christmas-tags-with-lawn-fawn.html?m=1
