25 Days of Christmas Tags: Day 12

It's Thursday and Day 12 of Tracey McNeely's 25 Days of Christmas Tags! I likely don't need to tell you this, but if you need details of this fun event, just click here. Today we are welcoming guest and sponsor, STAMPlorations! 

One of my new goodies from STAMPlorations is a funky sentiment die cut: 

Isn't it fun? I let it do most of the work on this tag, cutting it from red glitter cardstock. For the background, I used an ARTplorations stencil with some spray mist. Fun thing about the random dots... when I adhered the sentiment, the C embraced a random empty section. So out came a few gold hearts and stars so the white space wasn't so obvious. :D 

Next up, some fun reindeer: 

This and the previous tag are cut from CUTplorations manila tag dies - they have turned out to be my go-to tag dies much of the time. The background is stencilled with Versamark and embossed in white, then blended with distress inks for a night sky. My two deer are watercoloured for Kathy Racoosin's The Daily Marker 30 Day colouring challenge. 

And a third tag for today: 

Look at this sweet tag, all "what does the lambie say?" Luckily for me, it flips open for a snarky inside... 

And there are my tags for today! Wait until you see all the inspiration from my Tag Team friends and members of the STAMPlorations design team! Whether you participate by comment on designers' blogs, or by making tags of your own inspired by today's, please join us! 

Our terrific sponsors!
