Hey there!  It’s a fabulous new challenge and this week we’re featuring Tim Holtz products.  As I’ve said before, I sometimes get a bit intimidated by TH stuff – I’m not an inky type really.  However, I LOVE his stencils and this Autumn Leaves one is gorgeous!  I used a few different Distress Inks to give a variety of shades on the leaves and the Thank You sentiment is cut using the Thank You die from Avery Elle.  I added a border strip to add a touch more detail to the design and finished off with a few sequins from Pretty Pink Posh.

25 Days of Christmas Tags … Avery Elle

25-days

AAAAnnnd I’m back with another couple of tags and playing along with Tracey McNeely and the annual 25 Days of Christmas Tags event.  This time though I’m joining in with Avery Elle and my gorgeous, talented teamies over there!  If you missed my other post using Simon Says Stamp goodies check it out HERE!

I started by die-cutting a couple of tags from the Postage Stamp Die collection – love the pierced border on these dies.  To decorate the tags I used the North Pole Pals and the Dear Santa sets (along with a sentiment from Retro Ornaments – still love this font).  The red spotty strip is just some washi tape I’ve had kicking about since forever!

25 Days of Christmas Tags .. Day 4 Simon Says Stamp

 

25-days

Greetings!  Today I’m honoured to be once again joining in alongside my Simon Says Stamp Challenge Blog Buddies with the lovely Tracey McNeeley on DAY 4 her annual 25 Days of Christmas Tags event.  It is a special occasion for us too as both the Monday and Wednesday teams are playing along – woohoo.  The generous peeps at Simon Says Stamp are giving away a $50 store card as part of this wonderful festive event – so make sure you leave a comment for a chance to win.

I created a couple of Christmas tags using the ever-so-useful Stitched Dress Up Tags from Simon Says Stamp.  They’re the perfect size and so easy to create a gorgeous little gift tag for any occasion.  I’m loving the Sugar Plum paper pad from My Mind’s Eye (thanks Aimes for the recommendation).  I also used a gorgeous stamp set from a SSS release from last Christmas, Peace on Earth.  One of my all time favourite Simon dies is the Perfect Bow – I love every chance I get to use it – it’s PERFECT!
