Tim's Tags Days 11 & 12

Day 11

Not exactly a favorite!

Day 12

Since I had already made the roses on the cruise and don't have the right flower stamp or punch at hand to build a rose, I went with snowflakes instead. Not exactly like Tim's but inspired by it!

Tim's Tags Days 9 & 10

Day 9

This picture Tim provided is just priceless. Ran out of metal flowers so had to sub with Primas. The "25" is embossed with a mixture of silver and black embossing powders.

Day 10

I just happened to have a piece of the metal tape left over from a class at TenSeconds Studio so this one worked up pretty quick. To save even more time...you do that when playing catch-up...I followed Tim's layout. The grungy mottled appearance is due to using q-tips instead of the alcohol ink pens to apply the ink.

Tim's Tags Days 7 & 8

Day 7

On Tim's tag you will see a big Santa face. I substituted a cute little girl since I couldn't come up with a Santa that worked for me. I still used the same techniques and cut a mask for future use. This is a size 5 tag due to the small size of the stamps I used.

Day 8

Along with day 8 came a little more improvising. Since my music stamp is small, I used another size 5 tag. I wasn't sure what I was going to do without a lamp post stamp but then read on Sherry's blog-Walkin' on the Bad Side-the great idea to build your own lamp post by using the Vintage Hardware stamp set from Crafty Secrets. The lamp had to be hand drawn (Sherry's looks better than mine). I also added a couple of shoppers as the key Tim suggested was too large for my tag.

Tim's Tags Days 5 & 6

Day 5

Thanks to Shelly for the game piece. It was just what I needed to finish this tag.

Day 6

I really enjoyed making this tag and think it just might be my favorite so far. The images behind the fragments are from Crafty Secrets Heartwarming Vintage collection.

Tim's Tags Days 1 & 2

Day 1

Since there were no snowmen in this part of TX, I substituted prancing reindeer on this tag so I could try the emboss and paint technique.

Day 2

A few changes to this one but with similar results.

Tim's Tags Days 3 & 4

Day 3

I am working my way through T!m's 12 Tags of Christmas along with a few other enthusiast stampers. I am posting days 3 and 4 due to technical difficulties with days 1 and 2 plus playing catch-up due to a late start.
Even though I didn't have the same tree stamp or dark inks or the same washers and brads or any philosophy tags or the texture hammer, I am pleased with my results. And I thought I had a lot of stuff...just not the required things!

Day 4

I really enjoyed this tag for day 4. Thank goodness I bought this stamp set on the cruise.
