Welcome to the December Scrap 'n Stamp Inspiration Hop, where this month our theme is WRAP IT UP! We have a mix of blogs, Instagram posts and Youtube videos for your hopping pleasure - leave a comment at each stop along the way for your chance to win a $50 gift certificate! Perfect for treating yourself to a little Christmas present. ;)
I made gift tags for the hop. Fun fact: I was on a Christmas tag design team for three years! (Tracey McNeely's 25 Days of Christmas Tags event - it's no longer running, but still a terrific source of inspiration.) I decided to pick one stamp set and create three different styles of tags using it. Here they are:
I am using My Favorite Things Meowy Christmas stamps and dies for these. Here's a closer look at each one starting, of course, with the cat:
I watercoloured the kitty and his ornament, and added lots of sparkle to the ball using Lawn Fawn Liquid Stardust. If you haven't tried this... you really should! One drop painted over my ornament, and you can even see it in a photograph!
My next tag uses the beautiful tree in the set:
This time I used Copic markers to colour my tree. The sentiments in the Meowy Christmas set, not surprisingly, are all cat-related, so I foiled a sentiment from the Spellbinders Mini Christmas Sentiment Strips and red foil.
My third tag uses just the two snowflakes included in the stamp set:
A little emboss-resist this time. After embossing the snowflakes in white, I blended wilted violet and chipped sapphire distress inks for the sky. I added a few spritzes of Avery Elle white ink spray.

Such pretty tags, Lindsey! The cat is so cute and the others are 'classic' Christmas
The snooty kitty is just adorable. I love your tags.
Love your tag of the kitty with the ornament, and the other two are great as well. Nice job with the emboss resist and of course a classic tree tag.
Very classy tags. Love the details.
Gorgeous tags! Great coloring. I especially love the kitty one, so cute! ❤️
These are fabulous tags Lindsey and so beautifully coloured.
Very cute tag! I love the adorable kitty image, and the pretty tree and snowflake designs too!
All wonderful tags to dress up a present.
These tags are DARLING! I love the snowflakes!
Tags make the gift. And I love sparkle. You have inspired me to use my lawn fawn sparkle. Great ideas
Wonderful tags... love that bit of sparkle on the ornament with the kitty.
I love all your tags, but that little kitty is the cutest! And, thanks for the inspiration link - maybe I'll figure out what I want for my tags this year! TFS!
Beautiful tags. They really dress up the presents
Your tags are wonderful, I especially like the cute kitten one! Thanks for sharing and have a “Meowy Christmas
Hey, I remember that hop, it was fun and I miss the inspiration lately. Tags are the best thing. I think a pretty tag really lifts a gift wrapping a notch or two. These are so cute... perfect addition to wrap it perfectly.
Love the Meowy Christmas tag...so cute!
Delightful trio! Tags are still my favourite things to make!
