25 Days of Christmas Tags: Day 1!


It's here! The 25 Days of Christmas Tags event is officially underway! Is there a better way to get prepared for holiday gift-giving and be in the running to win a crafty prize at the same time? Check out this amazing line-up of sponsors: 


I am so honoured to be once again in the company of these lovely people:


And of course the mastermind behind all of this is none other than Tracey McNeely. Now in its ninth year, this event grows bigger and better every year. 
Onto Day One! Our sponsor today is Altenew


Altenew generously offered Tracey's Tag Team their choice of stamp sets, and I chose the beautiful Modern Poinsettia. I knew I wanted to go elegant with this set: 


After stamping and embossing the poinsettia with gold tinsel embossing powder, I trimmed  it closely. For the tag base, I've used Altenew's Create-a-Wreath - cutting the oval wreath shape, covering it in Versamark, and heat embossing it with two coats of the same embossing powder for a perfect match. I stamped the sentiment in red for a pop of colour, then found red raffia and gold cord to finish the tag. 


If you are new to this fun event, or just want a refresher on how to participate, visit the main post and link-up for all the guidelines. There are two ways to participate: make and post a tag or tags inspired by any of the designers' tags; or comment every day on Tracey's blog as well as the designers' posts. Or do both for more chances to win a prize! Hope you will play along. 

Supplies: Neenah white cardstock, vellum, Altenew Modern Poinsettia stamps, Versamark & Versafine crimson red ink, Wow clear gloss & (?) gold tinsel embossing powder, Altenew Create-a-Wreath dies, red raffia & gold twine
