Hello! Welcome back to my blog. Today's project is made as part of my first ever livestream at Debbie J's Crafting Corner YouTube Channel wherein we created Christmas tags.
I don't have a tag die large enough to fit the tree frame tag. I created one with the use of a rounded rectangle die and a tag die. I die cut a gold, silver and white cardstocks using a rounded rectangle die from Honey Bee Gift Card Present Box Dies. For the tag portion, I die cut this on the same cardstocks using Concord & 9th Bags And Tags Die Set. I adhered a metallic tag die cut to the white tag die cut.
I added detail to the metallic rectangular die cuts using Li'l Inker Designs Quilted Stitched Pattern. I die cut a window using a Lawn Fawn Stitched Christmas Tree Frames die. I traced the window on the inner side of the white rectangular die cut. I applied the patterned paper strips/washi tape to cover this penciled area.
For the back of the tag, I stamped to and from using Mama Elephant Confetti Stamp Set.
I die cut more Lawn Fawn Stitched Christmas Tree Frames for additional accent to the tag.
Putting the tag together, I sandwiched the tag die cut in between the window rectangular piece and the white cardstock. I trimmed off any excess. I adhered the same colored tree frame by piecing it on the tree window. I adhered the contrasting tree frame next.
I created the sentiment strip by heat embossing the sentiment on a white cardstock using dye inks and Versamark ink. I poured clear embossing powder to this and heat set it. The sentiment is from Simon Says Stamp Abstract Holiday Stamp Set. I die cut this into a strip using Avery Elle Simple Sentiments Elle-ments Die Set.
I added a star gem on top of the tree. I added sequins to the tree. I also added glitters to one of the trees. I threaded a twine through the tag hole. I adhered a bow on the front.
Preparing for a live stream can be anxiety provoking. There is some pressure on what to create. If not for the live stream, coming up with an idea of a project will not be a difficult task. To overcome this, I took a deep breath, looked at my supplies and pulled out things that I know I will enjoy creating with. But this is just a part of it. The live stream is another challenge. The experience was great. If I am going to do it again, let us just wait and see.
Thank you for visiting my blog. Have a blessed, brilliant and creative day!
