25 Days of Christmas Tags: Bonus Day 26 Inspiration

This is it, my last tag! I managed to make 26 tags during Tracey's extravaganza, and have never been so stocked before Christmas 😊!

Tracey hosted A Jillian Vance Design on her bonus Day 26, and I was inspired by the hostess herself...Tracey McNeely! Loved her beautiful cascading poinsettia tag with its lighter shades of color!


This tag was all about older "vintage" stamps. For the poinsettia, I layered four flowers stamped with an old Stampin' Up set (Something like Sew Seasonal?) and the background has a layer of Gingham Backgrounder from Cornish Heritage Farms, and flourishes from Close to My Heart.


The poinsettia petals also have SU's Linen Background stamped on them in a light ink. The sentiment is from Waltzingmouse Stamps' Alpine Christmas.


I curled the petals under with a paintbrush handle, so there are two square dimensionals under there!

Such a BIG thank you to Tracey McNeely for putting this fun stamping event together each year! Also many thanks to all the generous sponsors, to the fabulous designers for all of their beautiful, inspiring samples, and to everyone who stopped by to share a sweet comment.

Now only 11 plus months of sleeps until next time 😉!

25 Days of Christmas Tags: Day 22 Inspiration

Day 22 was yesterday, and Tracey hosted Waffle Flower!  I loved Joyce Mehrberg's red stocking over black patterned Christmas light paper!


I used the socks and a sentiment from PTI's Warm & Fuzzy set again. Added some stars cut with Simin Says Stamps' Hearts & Stars die.


I stamped a stitched vine image for my "lights," using a really old but loved set from Close to My Heart, then heat embossed with white powder.  Added some white ink to the tag for a primitive, folk art look.
