tag 12 - final one!

Well I made it this year! The entire twelve tags. It seemed that this tag I had most of the stuff that Tim used - although I fudged on the tissue paper background and flower bit - and decided to go with a ballet shape rather than a fragments - like Tim says use what you have.


Probably the BEST thing I've used this year are my cuttlebug alphabet dies - curls and swirls, and fancy pants. And I do love Tim's Glossy Accents over Dimensional Magic.  


Almost a bit sad packing up my Christmas box - but hey now I can get back to other exciting projects.

Tag 11

I'm not sure about this one - suspect I used the wrong image - simply too small - and leaving way too much blank space. The tag itself was deceptively easy to make - whether that was for the flagging global crafters - or whether Tim was running out of energy - who knows


I'd have another go - but use up more space 

tag 10

Nearly there! This is the one I made by mistake earlier in the week - and did I enjoy doing this one. It's the first time I'd used the tiny postage stamp - why I don't know as it says North Pole Dec 25. I didn't have any of Tim's fragments but the copper frame has been rolling around my drawer for a couple of years and seemed to do the job perfectly. I used tissue tape that I bought months ago in preparation for this - and all i can say is thank goodness for my Cuttlebug alphabet dies. They have had more use in the last 10 days than for ages. And I finally found my tulle! 

Tag 9

I have had to hold off uploading as I was behind in making this one - and it's barely dry ATM. didn't quite come out like Tim's but the el cheapo blue cardstock now looks more like leather! The star has Crystallina Glitter over it. The leaves are the alcohol ink ones that Tim showed in tag 7 and just seemed to be perfect for this tag   

Tag #8

I am slowly getting there. And I have to say I'm enjoying this year's tags (I'm better prepared which helps. I was lucky with this one as I just seemed to have everything on hand to help - and I really can't live without my Glossy Accents - much better than DM I have to say. The tiny dove is actually a dark green, while the nib is actually a sticker from a sheet that I'd used for a friend's 60th. The hand I'm not overly impressed with (operator erroe) and it looks like they've been out gardening!

Tag #7

Things got busy there for a bit - but I'm back on track with these wonderful tags. I thought I'd made tag 7 yesterday - only to discover that I'd got ahead of myself and made number 10.

I did enjoy making this one - and took a fellow crafter's advice to make sure the leaves were dark enough to stand out. No glassine but heavy vellum worked just as well

Tag #5

I might have to try this one again one day - not sure I'm with the metallic paper concept - I used alfoil glued to cardstock. And the EP was called Bridal Tinsel - a friend gave it to me,
