25 Days of Christmas Tags ~ Merry Christmas

Hello lovelies! I have another tag to share for Tracey's 25 Days of Christmas Tags. My tag was inspired by two designers. Bunny Vance from today's post and Joyce Mehrberg's tag from day 16. Both ladies used a reindeer with their sentiment under it. Here's my take!

I used a white tag base as they both did and then added the light aqua and polka dots that I pulled from Joyce's tag. I used colorful polka dots as a nod to Bunny's Christmas lights. I've combined both dark and light brown on my reindeer to combine the color they each chose. How did I do?

Here are their tags! Bunny's on the left and Joyce's on the right.

I'll be back tomorrow morning with a new Inspired By post.

 Hope you'll stop back by to say hi!

25 Days of Christmas Tags ~ Rejoice

Hey there, are you having a good weekend? Hope so! Here's another tag for Tracey's 25 Days of Christmas Tags.

I was inspired by a trio of tags from Lindsey Larsen on day #5. The kraft bases with black silhouettes were calling my name! My tag (PPP) is splattered with some white pearl paint. The nativity silhouette is from a past 12 Kits of Occasions kit. Yeeeeesssss, I've used more 12 Kits leftovers. I'm determined to use up supplies I have this year. So get used to it lol, there are more leftovers to come! 

Here are Lindsey's tags.

Thanks for visiting!

25 Days of Christmas Tags

Hi friends and happy Saturday! I'm back with another tag for Tracey's 25 Days of Christmas Tags. I was inspired by a tag Lindsey Larsen made on day #9.

I've used a soft stone cardstock for my tag (PPP) and a llama left over a 12 Kits of Occasions kit. I added PPP sequins (Ballerina Pink, Lavender Moon and Aquamarine). I wanted them to look more playful than fussy, so the lines are a little wonky and some of the sequins even overlap a bit.

Here's Lindsey's darling tag.

Have a blessed day friends.

25 Days of Christmas Tags ~ Christmas Hugs

Hey there! I had some crafty time yesterday and put together a few tags for Tracey's 25 Days of Christmas Tags. Here's my first one. My inspiration came from a tag Tracey herself created on day #2.

I opted not to copy her tag, but draw from the elements she used. I die cut a Pretty Pink Posh tag then added my little Rudolph and sentiment, both leftovers from past 12 Kits of Occasions kits.

Here's Tracey's tag.

I was inspired by the tag shape, Rudolph and those polka dot trees behind him.

Thanks for popping in today!

Sending Warm Hugs!

Hi there! Popping in tonight to share a frosty little duo with you for Tracey's 25 Days of Christmas Tags.

The snowman, sentiment, tag and banner are all by Reverse Confetti. I used snippets of patterned paper to create the tag and topped everything off with a sparkly Spellbinders bow.

I was inspired by a few snowmen tags.

Karin's from day 10

 and Ilda's colorful pair from day 11.

Thanks you for taking the time to stop by!

Believe In The Magic...

Hi friends! I'm playing along with Tracey's 25 Day of Christmas Tags today.

I was inspired by Jen Mitchel's tag from day 5. I like her use of non-traditional colors and the softness she's created on her tiny canvas!

My sweet friend Michele was kind enough to send me some of her RC gnomes. Their triangular shape were the perfect substitute for Jen's trees! They're Copic colored and adhered to a PPP Diamond tag. I've used some of my favorite PTI Holly Jolly die cuts and pink pearls for embellishments. I think it turned out cute and I hope you like it too!

Thanks so much for sharing Michele!
And thanks to you Jen, for the inspiration!

Christmas Joy!

Welcome friends! Popping in tonight with a Christmas tag. I'm playing along at Tracey's 25 Days of Christmas Tags who also happens to be this week's MUSE! I was inspired by Tracey's tag today, day 12, using Pretty Pink Posh products. It just so happens I have a few of those ~ hee!

A stuck pretty close to Tracey's design. I changed things up with the cute little PPP angels and gift. The stars are heat embossed and I added some PPP Marshmallow sequins to mimic Tracey's water spots. 

(Tracey's tag day 12) 

That's it from me tonight. See you soon!

25 Days of Christmas Tags!

Hi there! Pretty Pink Posh is one of the sponsors for Tracey McNeely's 25 Days of Christmas Tags. Today members of the design team are sharing our tags created with PPP products.

I had clear plastic pouch on hand that I turned into a shaker! It's sandwiched between two patterned paper panels that were die cut with the PPP small Scallop Frames die. The shaker mix consists of 4mm & 6mm Aquamarine sequins, 4mm & 6mm Lime Sorbet Sequins, 4mm & 6mm Sparkling Clear sequins, Sparkling Clear Seed Beads, Marshmallow Confetti Mix and Mini Silver Star Confetti. I stamped, colored and die cut three reindeer (Stamps/Dies).

The little girl reindeer was added to a pair of Stitched Tags die cuts. Everything was topped off with a tinsel bow. 

Tracey has oodles of sponsors for this event. Be sure to pop over to her blog (In My Creative Opinion) for all of the details about winning the prizes available!

Thanks for stopping by!

I used the Stitched Stars Dies to make a shaker. The inside is filled with Iridescent Mini Circles Confetti, 4mm Metallic Silver sequins and red sequins from the Classic Christmas Mixes (4mm & 6mm). I backed it with a sweet polka dot paper. Then I added the Happy Snowman using the stamps and coordinating dies. A trio of Silver Jingle Bells was added to my layered bow for some extra fun!

25 Days of Christmas Tags!

Hi there! I'm sure by now you've heard of my sweet friend Tracey McNeely's  (In My Creative Opinion) 25 Days of Christmas Tags. This year she has oodles of inspiration on her blog daily along with a terrific list of sponsors. Pretty Pink Posh is up today with the design team sharing tags featuring products from the shop. Here's my contribution!!  

To begin, I cut the green patterned paper with a Stitched Borders 3 die. I like the way this one mimics the penguin's face! Isn't he cute? He's from the new Holiday Pals stamp set. The base of my tag is the Stitched Duo 3 die. I added two little hills to the bottom. Both are cut with a Stitched Borders 1 die. I've added some Celery Chevron Twill ribbon, snowflakes and green sequins (4mm Classic Christmas Mix) as accents.

That's it from me today. I appreciate your visit! ~Lisa

Looking back at 2014!

What a year this has been. I went into 2014 with pneumonia, (that was no fun), said hello and goodbye to design teams and joined the addictive world of Pinterest. The absolute lowest part of this past year was the loss of my sweet beautiful boy Max. I miss my little pup so very much. Thankfully the year was finished off with a beautiful gift from God...my precious granddaughter Penelope. She's a new bright spot in my life that came just when I needed her most.

Like so many fellow cardmakers, I'm taking a little trip down memory lane with my favorite cards from the past year. I've picked one from each month...enjoy!

I began with a die cut stocking by PTI. I added polka dots using a teeny swiss dot stamp by DeNami Design. A bit of felt and another PTI die cut of holly leaves was added. This was added to one of my PPP stitched tags that was stamped with a PTI sentiment using foam dots. I fancied up the top of my tag using some adorable polka dot ribbon, (gifted to my by my sweet friend Greta!), twine and more holly leaves.
