Snow season!

Our new theme over at

TAG TUESDAY

has been chosen by Valerie and she wants to see

SNOW!

Hopefully only on our tags lol.

I decided to go with a shaker tag today.

The background has been stamped with the snow stamp

from the Penguin Place stamp set (still available in clearance).

I used a postage stamp punch to create the window,

and it has been filled with silver/white micro beads.

I added the little penguin who has been punched and stamped

and finished with a sentiment, snowflake and some twine.

I hope you get to join us this fortnight.

I would like to enter this into

Lunch out then home.

So nice to get a day like that in the build up to Christmas!!

More little words!

It's the second week of my challenge theme

WORDS/SENTIMENTS

over at

TAG TUESDAY.

I again used a piece of the Beary Christmas paper

for my background. I did stamp some snowflakes

and add some little pop dots to enhance it a little.

One tree got a star!

The sentiment was stamped using Beary Cute and cut then layered onto

night of navy card and I finished with another cut paper tassel.

Quick and easy!!

Cracking leftovers!

Happy Monday!

After my cracker box video last week I had all these

lovely little diamonds of paper left over so

decided to put them to good use and make a tag.

I cut a plain piece of card to the size and shape of my tag,

then added the diamonds, trimming off around the edges.

I backed it onto night of navy card then punched a 2 3/8" circle 

in night of navy and punched another circle from

one of the cards from Beary Christmas Memories & More card pack

for the sentiment.

I finished it off with some night of navy ribbon and a little snowflake gem.

Was it worth the bother? YES!

It is a really cute tag and will definitely get used.

Wish I hadn't of tossed previous diamonds!!

Love/Hearts

It's my turn to choose the theme over at

TAG TUESDAY

and this fortnight I would love to see how you use

hearts/love on your tags!

I have gone for a tag full of hearts and love!

Using the Country Bouquet bundle I stamped and punches

the hearts. I hand cut the two flowery hearts from the matching

papers.

For the tag it self I cut the shape from the dsp.

I added some faux stitching using the Stitchery stamp set.

The hearts were layered in position and I filled

in the gaps with smaller hearts and sentiment.

I hope you get time to play along.

Trees!

It's my turn to choose the theme over at

TAG TUESDAY

and I would like to see some trees on your tags.

For this tag I have used Beauty of Friendship

to create the tree tops and Trimming the tree for

the sentiment.

I punched a circle to mask a moon and inked up the night sky,

then coloured the moon.

I finished with dots of white chalk pen for the snow.

It was all matted unto garden green card and finished

with some bakers twine.

All items used are linked below.

It's the second week of our 'anything goes' challenge over at

TAG TUESDAY.

So I decided to get another quick and easy Christmas tag made.

This one was simply stamped onto white card and

cut to follow the shape of the stamp.

Matted onto a piece of white card and cut to the shape.

I finished it with some sparkle twine.

I did stamp a sentiment on the back and a punched out star

but totally forgot to photograph it 🙈

Cute mini tags

It's the second week of my challenge theme

Christmas in July

over at TAG TUESDAY.

I have used these cute little tags from the same kit as last week

(Brenda Pinnick Christmas card kits)

and decorated them up.

The pink one has had a piece of torn paper added for snow.

The background has been stamped using a snowflake stamp

and the little snowperson has been stamped, coloured and cut

and set in place. I finished with a piece of twine and highlighted

the snowflakes with a white chalk pen.

The stamp set used is called Spirited Snowmen (SU).

The second tag has been decorated using

Dashing Deer stamp set, some faux stitching and finished

with some bakers twine.

All very quick and easy and I have a load more of these

mini tags which I intend to use up!!

I hope you get time to join us!

I have not been around much lately as we had a bit of a

drama in the family.

My daughter-in-law next door had her Mum arrive last

Sunday for a 3 week visit from Wales.

Unfortunately she took very ill the day after she arrived

and had to be rushed to hospital.

She ended up in ICU with sepsis and was very poorly indeed.

We had to step in and mind the kids as Rachel has no

other family over here so hence no crafty time.

Thankfully Rachel's Mum is out of the woods and will be

transferred from ICU to a ward for a few days, then hopefully back home.

Not much of a holiday for the poor woman and a very worrying

time for her family!!

Life has a way of surprising/shocking us all at some stage.

Take care out there.

 

Christmas at Tag Tuesday!

It's my turn to choose the challenge theme over at

TAG TUESDAY

this time and I have gone with

Christmas in July!!

I do like to torture the design team ladies lol.

For my first tag I have gone with a traditional feel.

The papers and card came from a very old kits again

(Brenda Pinnick I think) which I chopped up to make a tag.

The angled front was already cut so just use it.

The background has been stamped using cherry cobbler

and the poinsettia has been stamped and coloured using wink of stella.

The sentiment chipboard came with the kit.

The stamp set used is called Poinsettia Petals (SU).

stencilling and stamping!

Very quick, easy and fun and perfect for batch making

at this late stage!!

Sentiment is from Snowman Season stamp set.

The background was created using my blending brushes

and balmy blue ink pad.

Another busy week in the O'Hagan household.

My daughter had her offer accepted on a house

and the mortgage and valuation have all gone through too!

That will be 3 new home moves for 3 of my kids this year!

And between minding Grandkids, shopping, crafting,

decorating and entertaining I'm ready to lie down in a dark

room with some chocolate and a Christmas movie lol.

In case I don't get any blogging done between now and Christmas

I hope you all have a lovely one!
