24 Tags of Christmas

Have you been enjoying the Gecko Galz 24 Tags of Christmas?

So here is my 3rd and final tag for this year.

 

My lovely girl is from the Very Vintage Christmas Set and my ticket image is from the Altered Christmas Sheet.

I fussy cut both the ticket and my girl and adhered onto my tag.

My tag I made from a grid book page that I had previously coffee stained and then used for mopping up some spray ink when doing my Junk Journal Challenge last month. 

I added a strip of lace to the bottom and used my sewing machine to go around the border for a more vintage look. 

I then added some Rhinestone Bling in the centre of the flowers along the lace.

My saying is another one of my Gold Foil Planner Stickers.

Then a bit of seam binding in the punched hole and I have another super sweet tag.

BUT WAIT! There's more.

I used my tag and made a table centre piece to show my residents at our Nursing Home how we were going to make some table pieces for our Christmas Decorations this year. 

Very easy and stunning to show off.

Our base is a paper plate painted with black Acrylic paint.

Our centre piece is a recycled can, again painted black. This one is a round biscuit tin upside down.

A gold foil doily on top with a bauble and wire baubles.

Some white tulle around the base with some gold ribbon and then a red burlap ribbon bow with some more wire baubles.

My beautiful tag front and centre!

Yes, they loved it! And they had a tonne of fun making their own to be admired by all.

So that is me for this year, I hope I have insipred you a little throughout the year with my projects for Gecko Galz. I will be back next year for a second term and look forward to showing you more fun projects.

Have a happy and safe Christmas.

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!

12 Days of Christmas Tags

Here is Day 12 of 12 Days of Christmas Tags by Scrapping Clearly.

Oh no, it the very last tag of 12 Days of Christmas Tags!

Again, a few techniques to really keep us interested and intrigued!

I have say that I have learnt so much more that I thought I would. 

I have enjoyed it much more than I thought I would.

If you get the chance to do one of these, jump right in, you will not regret it. 

I certainly will be watching next year to see if we get to play again.

I hope you have enjoyed following along with me and here's the 12 Tags on their ring.

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!

Here is Day 11 of 12 Days of Christmas Tags by Scrapping Clearly.

Oh wow - I learnt another amazing technique with this tag!

How much fun is this tag, seriously, so much going on and to look at!

Sad that only one more tag to go.

See you tomorrow with my last of the 12 tags.

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!

12 Days of Christmas Tags

Here is Day 10 of 12 Days of Christmas Tags by Scrapping Clearly.

Not going to lie, this one was a challenge!

I used the frame for an early tag that I didn't have the die cut for, so naturally, I probably used the bit I needed for this one. But, I made do with what I had left of it and think I did an okay job!

See you tomorrow with Day 11 - only 2 more tags left! Can you believe it, almost done.

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!

12 Days of Christmas Tags

Here is Day 9 of 12 Days of Christmas Tags by Scrapping Clearly.

Out with the embossing powders again and wow, what a difference that makes.

You always forget that you can emboss your die cuts to change them - well I do anyway.

A bit more stitching and glossy accents again as well.

See you tomorrow with Day 10 and another fun tag, I am really enjoying this process!

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!

12 Days of Christmas Tags

Here is Day 8 of 12 Days of Christmas Tags by Scrapping Clearly.

Day 8 is so sweet with the two birds!

What you can't tell from the photo is how shimmery those die cut branches are. I sprayed them with Perfect Pearls.

See you tomorrow with Day 9 and another fun tag!

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!

12 Days of Christmas Tags

Here is Day 7 of 12 Days of Christmas Tags by Scrapping Clearly.

LOL, it wasn't until I went to glue this stack on my tag that I realised I stuck my rice paper trees on sideways....which still works as Believe is sideways - guess my brain was thinking that way!

In my defense starting my new job has my headspace a bit scrambled at the moment.

I used my Wink of Stella on the Believe die cut instead of embossing powder to get a glittery shine, that is way to small and fiddly for my fat fingers!

Ok, I look forward to Day 8's tag!

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!

12 Days of Christmas Tags

Here is Day 6 of 12 Days of Christmas Tags by Scrapping Clearly.

Here we are again with yet another completely different tag to create.

You can't tell, but I spritzed my die cut branches with a white Shimmer Spray from my stash, as well as a pale blue, which did not want to work so well.

Boy were my fingers very sticky when I finished this tag.

Instead of using some of the beads from Tag 1 (in the bauble shaker), I decided to use some red rhinestones instead. LOL, the thought of putting every more glue on my fingers and trying not to rip the branches with them was a bit too much, so rhinestones it was.

It is different and was fun to create.

So now I have officially made the 1/2 way mark - 6 out of 12 tags completed!

And this is what that stack looks like.

See you tomorrow with Day 5!

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!

12 Days of Christmas Tags

Here is Day 5 of 12 Days of Christmas Tags by Scrapping Clearly.

I am amazed with the different style and techniques these tags are taking.

I am having a whole lot of fun learning new ways to do things and use things with/for.

We got this gorgeous Resin Deer head to play with today. 

My tag is slightly different to the instructions as I could no find the filmstrip die cut I was meant to use. I did find a Gold Glitter frame die cut so decided to use a part of it and go with that.

I like it, and if I didn't tell you, you would not know!

See you tomorrow with Day 6!

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!

12 Days of Christmas Tags

Here is Day 4 of 12 Days of Christmas Tags by Scrapping Clearly.

Out with the sewing machine again.

This is a wonderful tag with the added pocket.

A new way to use that pom pom (bobble) ribbon!

I am learning so many new techniques to use my stash. So glad I signed up for this Kit!

Can't believe we are a third of the way through already.

See you tomorrow with Day 5!

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!

12 Days of Christmas Tags

Here is Day 3 of 12 Days of Christmas Tags by Scrapping Clearly.

A different tag completely today.

I wasn't sure if we were to cut the smaller kraft tag down to fit so I just left to overhang a bit. It still looks okay to me. 

Isn't that the good thing about craft, when in doubt, do what makes you happy!

See you tomorrow with Day 4!

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!

12 Days of Christmas Tags

Here is Day 2 of 12 Days of Christmas Tags by Scrapping Clearly.

So today we have layers and layers - 10 in all!

A bit of fussy cutting and modeling paste with our own stencils.

I have to tell you that my "2" has three coats of Glossy Accents on it as I kept finding it on my desk with my finger or the side of my hand, until I decided to move it completely off my desk! 

I need to get a few border type stencils - maybe one or two might be under the tree for me?

I start a new job tomorrow so will make a start on Day 3 tag as it will be a big day for me and I want to keep with my tag a day to show you all.

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!

12 Days of Christmas Tags

Goodness I am in love with these tags!

When I saw the 12 Days of Christmas Tags by Scrapping Clearly, a craft store here in Australia I just had to buy them and give them a go. I am so glad I did.

Wowsers!

Day 1 and a sparkly shaker Tag! Doesn't get much better than that does it?

You get 99% of things you need to create each of the 12 cards. 

Just follow the instruction booklet and have fun!

So I got this wonderful package today and made my start.

If you are into Mixed Media or what to start, this is the perfect way to start.

I will endeavor to keep on track and show you me new tag each day !!!!!

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!

12 Days of Christmas

Yay, made it! I actually did each day on the day and kept it up!

I used an assortment of images from Gecko Galz Altered Christmas and Beautiful Christmas collage sheets, plus a few from my stash from swap gifts.

I have so much fun with these index cards, I hope you have enjoyed them too.

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!

12 Days of Christmas

Day 11 already!

Such a busy day today in our household, plus afternoon shift as well!

Did the last of the Christmas food shop, got my booster needle and soon afternoon shift.

I am so ready for Boxing Day and having a day off!

I wanted to get this one done before I ran out of time, as no telling how I will feel when I get home tonight.

I used my mop up index card from Day 2.

My Wine Time saying is from Art by Marlene's So-Fish-Ticated Paper Elements pack (lucky it arrived this morning!).

The cocktail is cut from a P&O Brochure - oh to be cruising again!

And the Christmas Coffee cups and saying is from a craft swap with my crafty girlfriend.

See you tomorrow, wonder what our last one will be!

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!

12 Days of Christmas

Day 10  - not long now until the fat man arrives!

Not going to lie - this is my third attempt at this.

My first go wasn't too bad, my second, is in the bin and this is my third.

I have to say that the Christmas Script Stencil I used is a bitch to use...I have had it for a few years now and realise why I have never used it before. It was a gift to me so I had to use it eventually right.

Anyways, it ended up ok in the end....

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!

12 Days of Christmas

Day 9 is all about Trees, Trees, Trees and more Trees!

Mixed Media happening here,.

I used an index card that I had wiped some excess acrylic paint onto a few months back.

I grabbed some trees from last years napkins and used my matt medium to adhere - I have 8 trees over 3 layers.

I then used my Christmas Dies from Jaded Blossom and die cut 4 Christmas Trees - 2 sizes of both and adhered onto my card.

Then using my Neo II crayons and an aqua brush, I outlined my Christmas Trees. 

Hard to tell but I used a glue stick and wiped over some gold flakes onto my trees for a bit of shine.

Lastly I added a sentiment from a Uniquely Creatives Cut-a-part.

I love the grungy feel to it.

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!

12 Days of Christmas

12 Days of Christmas and here is Day 8.

I love that Gnome for the Gecko Galz Gnome for the Holidays ATC Swap we did last month.

I fussy cut him out and was waiting for the right project to put him on.

My wrapped parcel is from the RACQ Mail out sheet.

Bow and saying is from Uniquely Creative's Holly Jolly Christmas Title cut-a-parts.

Only 4 more to go!

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!

Day 7 of 12 Days of Christmas ..... almost didn't get today's done, lol I was to busy doing something else I thought of! 

But I did get it done, a bit of inky finger therapy!

I went with the bright Neon Acrylic paints by Art by Marlene. Pretty well figured that would nail the "Bright" part of it! Nearly wore the orange and the purple! 

I then went for the "Nice" part on the theme using as image by Gekco Galz from the Altered Christmas Collage sheet.

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!

12 Days of Christmas

Day 6 and we are half way there!

Scary that this time next week Christmas Day will be half over as well!

My image and words are from Gecko Galz Gnome for the Holidays Collage Set.

My background is the mopped up leftovers from Day 2's sprays on  the index card.

Goes to show that you don't need a lot of time to craft everyday.

Wonder what tomorrow will bring......

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!
