25 Days of Christmas Tags - Day 4

 

Hello, friends!  Day 4 of the 25 Days of Christmas Tags brings another great sponsor - Newton's Nook.

I'm often a stamp and ink kind of gal.  (Usually because time doesn't allow for me to be experiementing with a lot of techniques.)  So today's tag feels a little extra special because I did something I haven't done in a LONG time....paper piecing AND I used a bunch of patterned papers!!!

I pulled out a bunch of papers that have been in my stash for quite some time (I think most of these are Lawn Fawn papers) and then stamped Newton's Nook Poinsettia Blooms on each of the three of the papers--two pinks, one green.  I really adore the variety of poinsettia arrangements in this set.  All so beautiful!  

After I fussy cut the blossoms and leaves and berries, I pieced them all together.  I was surprised how therapeutic the whole process was.  That being said, I wasn't about to cut out the tiniest little circles, so I used a white pen to fill them in and actually that pop of white added so much to the tag.

Finally, I embossed to/from from a Papertrey set called Keep It Simple: To & From...perfect, right?  This tag is quite large.  It's almost 5" tall.  The Stamp Market's Tag'd Dies are some of my favorites.  This is the largest tag die in the set, so obviously these stamps are perfect for full size cards as well.

Well, that's all for me today!  I hope you've enjoyed your visit.  Thanks for stopping by!  Oh, and don't forget to go to the 25 Days of Christmas Tags post on Tracey's blog to see everyone else's creations.  I hope you've been able to join the fun, too.  Let me know if you've made any tags. :)
