More Christmas Tags

 Welcome!

Today's post is a couple more Christmas tags that will be used for next year.  I wanted to get these done early, using a few older products but a new stamp set, so one of these will go to NBUS #82.

 

I'm loving this new stamp set, so fun!

 

Now, while I don't celebrate Santa, the Easter bunny nor Halloween (it is rare if you ever see one on my blog); I have no problem with those that do, so this third tag will be used for them.  I really like this stamp set and think they're really adorable!  For me?  The fourth tag says it all - Tis the Reason for the Season!  

Tags cut, toppers cut and added, twine tied and stamps stamped.  What you might not see is that the Nativity stamp was stamped in gold Delicata and the topper is gold shimmer paper.  Are you confused about that background?  Those tags were photographed right in my tree!  The colors were hard to deal with, especially since the light shows as yellow (my house was dark except the tree), but I still like my attempt at being artsy - lol.  The first and last tags actually look truer in color.

Supplies:

   RC- Topped Off Tags, Toppers and Hang-Ups

   Un - With Love, From Me (NBUS)

That's it for me, and I hope you all have a great week!

Warm Winter Wishes

 Hello, and welcome to 2026!

I have a card today that fits a few challenges.  I was wanting to play at Inkspirational #357 - Cold, and then I saw the colors that Bonnie chose at Color Hues - Red & Gray, and it all went from there!  The only issue?  What sweet image should I use today?!

Sweet, huh?

I started with the PB little girl ,but I needed something for her to be reaching for and my mind went straight to bird.  This set doesn't have one, so I had to find one that was the appropriate size and had the same approximate line width.  While this one fit the bill, it also really pushed the color choice to be the perfect option!  

The images were colored with Copics, small snowdrifts masked and ink blended, then a little WoS for sparkle.  The image was cut down, added to a gray fog cs, and the sentiment I already had in my stash -- perfect!  While my photos leave much to be desired (I need a PS lesson, or ten or some more sunshine through the winter), I'm happy with this card.

 

And since I used another NBUS product, I'll also be adding this to Darnell's gallery!

Supplies:

   PB - Snow Folks

   AE - Festive Wreath (cardinal)

   PTI - In The Meadow dies

   KS - Fany Scalloped Rectangle die

   Splb - Merry Messages pp

Well, we're off to the weekend now, and I hope you've had a great start to 2026!  Thank you for your visit, I appreciate you!

A Cuppa Tags

 Hello!

Thanks for the visit, and I hope your holidays were amazing!

Today I've got a few tags, one of which will be sent to Peace On Earth #102, here's the inspiration ~

Cute, right?!

I had to use the whole set while it was out, so I'll have tags to start with next Christmas.

It's definitely cocoa, but I'm imagining melty,
gooey marshmallow spilling over.

   

Can anyone say Matcha?

I think these Sweeties need a refill!

Mommy, can I have 5 marshmallows?

Supplies:

   ME - Hot Cocoa

   SSS - Layered Scallop Tags (NBUS)

   PFS - Diag. Plaid pp

   AE - Festive Wreath

since this is the first time I've used the tag dies, I'll be sending this to NBUS #81.

That's it for me today.  I hope you've had a great holiday season, and you're looking forward to the New Year.  I know this year flew by!

Hugs,

Snugglebuck, Just for You

 Welcome, and Merry Christmas Eve!

I hope you have an amazing Christmas -- I'm sending my sincerest Merry Wishes to all of you.

May your holidays be filled with love, laughter and those close to your heart.

My first card is going to Hubbs!

A new stamp, that I just love!  This card will be visiting NBUS #81.  Stamped, colored and cut, then popped up with its cute sentiment.

This next card was an "ask".  I literally had a request to make all of their Christmas cards from a photograph.  While I clearly don't have the time, it was also hard for me to translate into a card as I know them.  I definitely had a struggle, but we sent it to the requestor and they loved it.  I believe this was close to my 6th attempt!  I guess I'm better at "inspiration" than translation from realistic.  I'll attach the "photo" below.

A masked skyline, a bunch of ink-blending and stamping of "branches" and "grass", then splattering before adding the stamped and die-cut deer.

The inspiration photo ~

While I did my best converting a photo into a card, I have so manyreservations, at least in this instance.  Are my "deer" supplies limited?  Yes.  Is it horrible?  No.  Would I ever sell a card (not that I do anyway) like this?  No!   I'll chalk it up to Best Effort.

Supplies:

   Card 1 - Unity Snugglebuck (NBUS); MFT - Elegant Rectangle Stax dies

   Card 2 - PTI Deer To Me stamps/dies

That's it for me, and I truly hope you have

The Most Wonderful Christmas!

Hugs,

Holiday Flock Talk

Hello!

 Today I have a few cute cards.  While these aren't typical Christmas cards, a gal can have a little fun every now and then.  All three use different images from the same new set, so one of these will go to NBUS #81.

Die Cutting, stamping, and coloring on each of these so I'll skip the obvious.

While this one has the same techniques, I'm not sure my sentiment carries itself well.  While I can assure that it is mounted squarely, I think the lopped ends make it look wonky -- oh boy!

Supplies:

   All Cards - Unity Holiday Flock Talk stamps

   Card #1 - PB Classy Frames; Carta Bella Winter Wonderland dsp

   Card #2 - PB Ripple die; Unity - Scandanavian Holiday and Carta Bella Winter Wonderland dsp

   Card #3 - WF Nested Postage Stamp dies; HB Log Cabin dsp

As we usher in the blessed holiday, keep peace in your hearts.

Hugs,

TK
