Mixed Media Christmas Tag Gift It

Hello, my talented crafty friends, welcome back! I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving weekend or fall break! At Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge this week, we challenge you create with the theme "Gift It". Christmas will soon be here and we thought it would be nice to dedicate a challenge to think about gifts. Handmade gifts are always well received, so maybe you would like to make someone something special, or you can make something to be used for the wrapping, tag, bag, box, paper etc.

I was inspired to create a mixed media Christmas gift tag using Tim Holtz Sizzix Die Mini Wreath and Bow, and Idea-Ology Trophy Antlers to decorate the tag.

To start this project, I applied Distress Paints on the background of the tag. The Christmas wreath was die cut using Sizzix Mini Die Wreath and Bow. I outlined the edges of the tag and the wreath using a black brush pen.

The Christmas trees were colored with Distress Paint green color then applied with Gesso as snow on the trees. I randomly added some holiday sentiments on the background.

All the winter or holiday elements were colored using Distress Paints and attached on the tag using the heavy gel. I added some Gesso on some embellishments as the final touch. Hope you like my Christmas gift tag and got inspired to create your GIFT for this holiday. Join us and have fun!

Mixed Media Christmas Tag Let It Snow

Meihsia Liu Simply Paper Crafts Mixed Media Christmas Tag Let It Snow Simon Says Stamp Tim Holtz

Hi, crafters! I hope you all had a great weekend. The weather is getting really cold here in Dallas and I feel like we are skipping Fall and go strait to Winter. This week at Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge, our theme is "LET IT SNOW", and we challenge you to add some snow on your project.

I was inspired to make a mixed media tag using Prima Marketing Snowflake Paste to create the snowy scene and decorated it with Tim Holtz Idea-Ology Wreaths Adornments.

To start this project, I applied various shades of blue Distress Paints on the tag to create the sky background, then applied Prima Snowflake Paste on the bottom of the tag to create snow over the ground with a palette knife. To create the snowflake from the sky, I applied Snowflake Paste over the Tim Holtz mini stencil.

I colored Tim Holtz Wreath Adornment, Typography and Decorative Deer Findings with Distress Paints using Prima watercolor pen. The Prima flowers were layered and adhered on the tag. All the embellishments were attached on the tag using the foam tape and Tombow Mono Glue.

To finish off this tag, I splattered the white Distress Paint on the tag and outlined the tag using gold and black paints. I hope you got inspired by my Christmas tag and create your project with some snow on it. Join us and happy crafting!
