Let the Christmasing Begin

The turkey has been eaten

the pies have been served....

NOW it's time to let the Christmasing begin!

I whipped up some tags to adorn the 

presents I'll be putting under the tree!

I began my creative journey by coloring the tags with 

Distress Oxides.

I used a different technique on each background

I embossed...with colored embossing powder.

 Then I pulled out some "sticky" embossing powder
and added Glass Glitter.

and mica flakes

 Lastly I used a bit of clear modeling past and some Prills.

I then pulled out a bag of

UmWowStudio Christmas Confetti.

 I determined which pieces I wanted to use.

Then I painted the pieces white.

And proceeded to color the Christmas Confetti pieces...

using Distress Oxide..

....and Glimmer Glam

Here are close ups of my finished tags...

Now to wrap those presents I got Black Friday Shoppin!!

Tis the Season.....to make BagTags!

Hi UmWowStudio Fans....

Wanted to share with you my "BagTags"

that I created for "the girls" Christmas presents.

I chose to go with a less than traditional "christmas" look

and went with 7 Dots Studio ~ Homegrown

I chose the following papers......

Homegrown

Snicker

Attic

Once the papers were cut into tags,

I used UmWowStudio's Stencils

Handwriting

and Wheelie Mask

and applied various texture mediums.

The two constants on my tags are....

UmWowStudio Layered Chevrons

I covered the chosen Chevron with

Vintage Photo Distress Ink

and applied

Stampendous ~ Shabby Pink Embossing Enamel

what a STUNNING look!

And diecut Ivy Leaves

cut from CCB ~ Handmade Paper Ivory

colored with Glimmer Glam and Glimmer Mist.

I JUST LOVE how the "Bag Tags" came out....

I hope you have enjoyed my creative journey

as much as I will giving these BEAUTIFUL gifts!!
