Day Three of my Countdown to Christmas

Hi everyone,

I ran my last class of the year last night and was so excited to have some new stamping buddies join me. They sat down and made 24 Christmas tags. I thought I would show them to you today. The first set of cards I have already placed on my blog so if you are a regular reader they will be familiar to you.

This is not a normal colour combination for me but I love it. I got the idea from a fantastic blog from the UK Stamping Moments. I have to say I always check out her blog because she has some fantastic ideas and they are all so beautifully put together.

The next set of Christmas Tags are using the so very cool set Sparkly and Bright.

 I just love this set and there is another card or cards coming over the next couple of days using this set.

Next we have a set using Gifted. There were quite a few grumbles with some cutting out but I actually find cutting out quite therapeutic.

 

Last but not least here is a set using Dasher and the Wreath from Welcome Christmas. Dasher has been heat embossed with Gold Embossing Powder and he may just be the gift tag I will use this year.
