The challenge was to create tags and try to do a quick one, so my quickest starts at the left with the tree which can be done in about 10 to 15 minutes, the center one takes about 20 minutes and the right one needs some drying time but could be done in about 25 minutes or less of creating time.
The Christmas tree: Stampin Up Sanded was stamped on the top layer using Creamy Caramel ink and piercing was done with the mat pack. Beate has a great tutorial found here which explains the method of piercing on a curve.
Ink distressing with Ranger Vintage Photo distress ink was done on all layers and die cuts.
The tree is a die cut from Quickutz which was ink distressed before gluing to the card with Aleene’s tacky glue. The snowflake is from Cuttlebug and also glued to the card. The to and from words are from Hero Arts and Memento – Tuxedo black was used to stamp it.
Snowflakes: The two larger snowflakes are from Spellbinder Shapeabilities and if you fit all the dies on one piece of cardstock it sure cuts down on cutting time. The smaller snowflake is a combo of Cuttlebug Snowflakes die, Marvy punch and EK Success border punch. They were all stacked and pierced if needed and the brad inserted and holding the snowflakes to the card through the red glitter cardstock only. The flourishes are one glittered and precut chip board which I attached with Paper Glaze.
Snowman: the snowman is form with Mudd Puddles and a gold embossing plate. The plate is temporarily secured to the cardstock, MP is applied in the openings, raise the plate straight up and set it aside to dry.
I then used AleeneÂ’s tacky glue to attach Flower Soft to the face. Prismacolor pencils were used for filling in the background
The polka dots is sticky ribbon on a roll and the snowflakes are stamped in between the two strips.
The stamps used are All Night Media snowflake, Stampin Up Simple Plaid
