Today I am sharing the projects made for the Christmas Stampathon. On the 25^th of each month we are given a theme and are challenge to create a Christmas themed project using the theme and then duplicate it, we need a minimum of 4. This months theme is ‘Tags in traditional Christmas Colours’. I have chosen to make my Pine Tree Tags using the Tailor-Made Tags and the Peaceful Deer stamp set.

Colours used in this project are:

To recreate a single tag, you will need:

Basic White card – 5” by 4½”
Shaded Spruce card – 5” by 4½”
Gold Foil – 2¼” by ¼”
Design A Daydream dsp – 2¼” by ⅜”
Basic White – ¼” strip

Using the Tailor-Made tags Dies I die cut a tag from the Basic White and Shaded Spruce card.

Using a Blending Brush, I added Pool Party ink to the centre of the Basic White tag.

The largest pine tree from the Peaceful Deer stamp set was stamped in Shaded Spruce ink onto the tag. It was then stamped again, slightly lower down in 2^nd generation Shaded Spruce ink.

I used multipurpose Liquid Adhesive to add the Gold Foil strip to the back of the Design A Daydream strip. This was then added to the bottom of the tag using the same liquid glue.

The decorated Basic White Tag was then glued to the Shaded Spruce tag, slightly off set.

The sentiment from the Christmas To Remember stamp set was stamped onto the strip of Basic White card in Shaded Spruce ink and trimmed down with scissors. I added it to the tag with liquid glue.

A piece of Gold Shimmer Ribbon was pushed through the hole in the tags and tied with a length of White Baker’s Twine. A trio of Brushed Metallic Dots completed the tag.
