25 Days of Christmas Tags with Newton's Nook Designs 2018

Happy Monday, my friends!
Today the Newton's Nook Designs Design Team is joining the 25 Days of Christmas Tags Blog Hop hosted by fabulous Tracey McNeely! She organizes this fun hop every year and so many fabulous companies sponsor this and offer fabulous prizes, so head over to Tracey's blog In My Creative Opinion and check out the details ;-)

Alright, here is what I created...;-)

I made 5 of these CAS tags ;-)
I've been attracted to the white-on-white-with-a-pop-of-red-look lately, I think it is so fun!
Ready to take a closer look at them!?

All my tags today were die cut using the Fancy Edges Tags Die Set, it measures about 2-3/8" x 3-3/4".
This one was decorated with 3 short pine trees, which was die cut using the Forest Scene Builder Die Set, Merry sentiment die cut from poppy cardstock using the Holiday Greetings Die Set, and snowfalls using the Petite Snow Stencil and embossing paste. 

My second tag is all about holly jolly!
The background was created using the Holiday Foliage Stencil and embossing paste, I just love the white paste on white cardstock! The holly leaves were die cut from white cardstock to continue the white-on-white theme, then the berries were die cut from poppy cardstock, both using the Pines & Holly Die Set. 

Now onto my third tag, you're getting the pattern here, aren't you!?
First using the Tree Rings Stencil and embossing paste for the white-on-white background, then the stag was die cut from white cardstock using the Splendid Stags Die Set, the Joy sentiment was die cut from white and poppy cardstock using the Snow Globe Shaker Die Set. All the pieces were die cut twice to layer to give some dimension ;-)

This pair of tags were basically 2 for 1 ;-)
I picked from dark red to peachy pink to create the ombre effect. Each color was trimmed to about 3/4" wide and die cut "HO HO HO" using the Ornament Die Set. I separated the words out of the strips and simply adhered them onto one of the tags. I also added a couple of birds and a squirrel from the Forest Scene Builder Die Set. On the other tag, I mounted the strips and little circles from the letter Os. Aren't they super easy but super fun!?  

If you are planning on making Christmas tags to go with every present to your loved ones, simple designs like these would be perfect! The pop of red on all white designs are pretty dramatic, don't you think!? And when you use negative die cut pieces, you create less waste AND you instantly have 2 tags made! 



Thank you so much for stopping by!
Hope you enjoyed my CAS tags today!

25 Days of Christmas Tags

Hello, lovelies!
I am so very excited to be joining this wonderful blog hop { 25 Days of Christmas Tags } by Tracey McNeely (click HERE to check out her fabulous blog!) as a Newton's Nook Designs Design Team member today! Jen is sponsoring this fun event along with many other companies, and they all have fabulous prizes! So make sure you head over to Tracey's blog and read the rules to participate!

Here is my take...;-)

I used a few NND products to create these small but fun tags ;-)

I die cut the bigger tags with the Tags Times Two Die Set from the plastic bag that stamp/die sets come in (I can't throw them out! LOL), sewed it together except the top, poured in this mixture of gold, silver, and clear confetti, copper star sequins, and a few snowflakes, which were die cut with the Snow Globe Shaker Die Set from shimmery white cardstock. 

I also die cut the round tag with the Tags Times Two Die Set from kraft cardstock.

On this one, I stamped this cute little reindeer from the Snow Globe Scenes set with brown ink, quickly colored with colored pencils, and added a little bit of metallic copper Nuvo crystal Drop on his nose ;-)

On second one, I stamped this adorable snowman also from the Snow Globe Scenes set, colored with colored pencils, and added light blue Nuvo crystal drop on his buttons ;-)

On third one, I stamped this adorable mouse from the Santa Paws Newton set, colored with colored pencils, and glossy white Nuvo crystal drop on his pom pom ;-) I added a copper star sequin on each tag, and this little cutie is making a wish upon it. Maybe it is the same star as the reindeer and snowman see...;-)

A snippet of linen twine along with a few snippets of copper thread were fed through the holes to keep both tags together on each set. I also die cut the sentiment from the Snow Globe Shaker Die Set from copper foil sheet and stapled them on my clear tags ;-)



Thank you so much for stopping by!
Hope you enjoyed it, I certainly did!

Thank you Tracey for having me, and thank you Jen for sponsoring this fabulous event!

25 Days of Christmas Tags - Newton's Nook Designs

Hello lovelies!
Today the owner and designer of Newton's Nook Designs, sweet Jennifer Jackson is sponsoring Tracey MacNeely's 25 Days of Christmas Tags, and the NND DT members are joining in the fun! Woo hoo! 
There are a ton of prizes, too!
All you have to do is visit Tracey' blog and leave a sweet comment!

Okay, here is my take...;-)

I went with a very traditional look ;-)
I immediately grabbed the Splendid Stag Purr-fect Die set.

This fabulous stag was die cut from gold foil sheet and cork.
He was mounted on the wreath that was made with the new Pines & Holly Purr-fect Die set, which was layered on a die cut doily and kraft rosette.
I added a little bit of gold fringe underneath.

I kept the back simple since you'd need to write to/from.
I actually sewed the fringe on the front so the gold glitter paper is hiding the stitch.

Accessory: Hemp Twine (SU!)
