Who doesn't like tags? They can be simple to miniature works of art. This week at Inky Paws we are asking you to make tags.Every year, I sell left over cards to folks at work. there is one person who is always looking for tags. So each year, I make a bunch of tags just for her.
I know there are going to be some very happy campers out there because
some of you play along love to make tags. You know who you are and this
challenge is for you!!!
Tag 2, I embossed the background using this music stencil. Do you know how to use your stencils to emboss? It is a fun technique to stretch your stencils. The tag swag uses the "Pines and Holly" dies set.
Here is a quick video to dry emboss using your stencils.
Tag 3, is a bit more simple, just strips of paper from Meowy Christmas" and the image from "Purr-fect Present". Poor Newton looks kinda like a raccoon! Not my best coloring! LOL!!

Good morning crafters! Today is our reminder week at Cupcake Inspirations! You have one more week to join our festive and classic Christmas color challenge using "red, white, and cream" colors.
I went whimsical during week one, today I am going for a classy look. Every year I make cards that feature doves. I usually buy a new dove stamp or die also, But this die from Ellen Hutson remains my favorite. Sadly I don't see it to link, it must be retired.
The background is from Hero Arts, "Nordic Holiday Bold Prints". I stamped and embossed in white and brushed red on the background. Added a die cut sentiment and this card is ready.
To inspire you here is a Straight No Chaser's rendition of the "Twelve Days Of Christmas" featuring two turtle doves.
You have one more week to play along with our red, white, and cream color challenge at Cupcake Inspirations!
Christmas will be quite interesting this year with our two rugrats. While they are full grown physically they are still kittens mentally and are going through their terrible twos! I am not sure we can even decorate the tree this year, Miss Pixie will be climbing the tree and knocking everything off. Any cat owners have some advice, other then forgoing the tree this year.
They look so innocent, don't they? Don't be fooled by those sweet faces!!
I am sadden to say that this will be the last challenge at The Rainbow Card Challenge. We have had a good run, but all good things must end. I hope that you will give us a rousing farewell and play along with our festive rainbow challenge.
