25 Days of Christmas Tags with Hello Bluebird

Hello there,

I'm back today with tags for the 25 days of Christmas tags event, but this time featuring some cuties from Hello Bluebird. This 25 days of Christmas tag event is organized by Tracey McNeely and a lot of craft companies are sponsoring it.

There are many ways that you can get a chance to win a prize, and you will find all the details in Tracey's blog post.



So I first started by cutting six tags out of corrugated cardstock. And next I added a lot of texture to my tags: I applied white ink on the tags to make the corrugated texture pop, next I splattered white paint to create falling snow, and when it was dry I roughly applied white paste on the edges to create a frosty look on my tags. And to bring this frosty effect out, I sprinkled glitter on the paste to make it sparkle like real snow.



While the paste was drying, I stamped and colored my images, and when the coloring was done, I cut the images using the coordinating dies.



To get a nice back for my tags I attached them on a piece of brown cardstock, and next I used my cropadile to pierce holes at the top of my tags and to add white eyelets. I cut additional tags out of pattern papers by Echo Park and added white eyelets on those elements as well.

And finally, I stuck the critters, some snowflakes and assembled the tags with ribbon, twine and small bells.
