12 Tags of Christmas by Tim Holtz: Day 11!


Happy Saturday, bloggers! Ok, ok, yes I am probably the one BILLIONTH person to say this but... THIS IS MY FAVORITE tag so far (1 left!!) I absolutely LOVE using dictionary pages and inking them up I think it's WAY cool and adds so much dimension and interest. And Tim used my favorite sentiment from his Odds & Ends set. Ok, I could continue with all the things I love about this tag but let's start getting creative and make our own!! Here's what you'll need....



BONUS!! Tim altered his 1st Tag of Christmas for 2010!! He changed the tree to a Snow Pine and I'm loving it!! Check out the new result!! Very nice!

Pine Tree Die

BLOG CANDY ALERT!!!! CONGRATS TO JANELLE the lucky commenter on the 6th Tag!!!
Here's what JANELLE had to say:

"This is my favorite tag! I adore the texture fades and stamping combinations that are so easy to do, but look complicated. I am also thrilled with the additional uses for the tree and deer dies. I was never really sure that they would be all that useful to my crafting...until now."

Please pick your favorite ingredient on this tag and we will send it to you! Please email fellow Simon team member FRAN at Fran@SimonSaysStamp.com and she will mail your candy!!!


Happy Christmas and Happy Creating to ALL!!!

Steph

  21. I love all the tags and the saying on this latest one is very touching. I have been busy for hours today cutting foam and making Tim Holtz dies.I didn't have the sticky sheet he used, but glossy accents works very well. They all seem to work and are staying stuck.

  29. I like this tag with the text and the inking over it really adds interest. The tree stands out nicely. And I just love what Tim did to the tag from day 1. Such a little change but what a big difference. My fav tag is still day 9 with the gold colour one.
    Oh to have all those supplies readily at hand!

  46. Wow, only one more tag left! I love so many of the elements on this tag, but especially the lil snippet of wisdom! I love how he added the winter tree to his first tag. Makes it more of the winter theme of what he was shooting for.

  50. Another amazing tag! I am so glad you have all Tim's products in stock. I thought I had a good amount before he started and now I *need* everything he used and I don't have! I'm so glad Tim pointed us to your site at the start of the "tags" series - you have a great selection and I love your blog! Thanks!!

  51. I am fairly new to die cutting so the idea of creating foam stamps out of a die is so cool. I can't wait to give that a try.

    ReplyDelete
  52. The snowy tree is wonderful. Who knew about the bookplates, the die piece, and the stamps all coordinating? That is so cool!
