Tim Holtz 12 Tags of Christmas: Day 9!

HAPPY DAY 9!!! 9 is my favorite number, and it just so happens that this is my new favorite tag (I feel slightly fickle saying that, but Tim Holtz just keeps topping himself!). The sparkly, vintage look is so pretty, and I am a big fan of metallic details, so that helps too. : )

What will you need to make a tag like this?
For starters, a non-stick craft sheet and tags.

You will also need:
a jet black archival ink pad (this is a great investment because it's waterproof! Buy it in regular, jumbo or go for the refills)
Carol Music Rubber Stamp (also included in Holiday Wishes UM set)
Wild Honey Distress Ink Pad (refills)
Brushed Corduroy Ink Pad (refills)
Heirloom Gold Perfect Pearls Mist (or Heirloom Gold Powder, a Mini Mister, and good ole H2o)
The Heat It tool
Paper Distresser
Walnut Stain Distress Ink Pad (refills)
Ink Blending Tool (refills)
Cork Mat
Craft Pick
Design Ruler
Long Fasteners
Texture Hammer
Core'dinations Paper (like Reminisce)
Sanding Grip (refills)
Upon A Time Die
Vagabond Machine
Glossy Accents (we have Mini Glossy Accents too!)
Paper Rosette Die
Seasonal Paper Pack
Hot Glue Gun
Tinsel (you can find some tinsel glitter in the Golden Woodlands set!)
Multi Medium Matte (large jar)
Adornments
Craft Scissors (these little babies can cut through A LOT)
Accoutrements (or Fanciful Buttons)
Tulle (or try Lavish Trimmings!)
Baubles
Jump Rings
Craft Scrubbie (for clean up)

Thanks, Tim, for linking to Simon Says Stamp!! We really are honored : )

Only 3 days left in the 12 Tags of Christmas of 2010. Keep an eye out for the next blogs, and have a fantastic time crafting!! Also...if you want to browse Tim Holtz or Ranger products to create your own spin, we encourage that too!

    I think this tag is just beautiful, and I love the vintage look. I went to my local LSS today and made the rosette. What a stunning focal point! Each tag is fabulous in its own way!
