Holiday TAGplorations Day 1

Hello Crafty Friends!

STAMPlorations are hosting a festive party, Holiday TAGplorations.

It's all about TAGS and HOLIDAYS. For my DT project, I choose to make a Christmas tag using their Artsy Borders: Poinsettia Row, Holiday Sketches: Christmas Flower and Oh, Christmas Tree! sets in combination with the largest of their CUTplorations Luggage Tag Nesting Dies.

Here it is ...


I tried my hand at a spot of watercolouring. It was actually pretty easy ...

  • stamp the Poinsttia Border in Archival on the die-cut tag, watercolour and edge with gold leaf pen
  • stamp and watercolour two Christmas Flowers, edge with gold leaf pen and attach
  • stamp, cut and attach sentiment from the Oh, Christmas Tree! set
  • finish off with golden twine and Stickles
Now more about the event ...

Holiday TAGplorations is a blog hop and linky party starting today and reminder posts finishing on Tuesday 8th November.

  • Comment on the original Holiday TAGploration Post and participating Designers post, Links and full rules will be on the original Holiday TAGplorations Post.

  • Commenting and linking up of your Holiday Tags is from today, 4th November, and finishes 11.55pm Pacific Friday 25th November on the original Holiday TAGplorations Post. Plenty of time to get creative.
