A Quick Christmas Tag

Hi Sizzix fans!

Have you started working on your Christmas cards yet? I usually have to make quite a lot of them each year, so I figured I would better start on time this year. Since I have to make about 40 Christmas cards, it's important for me that it doesn't take me too much time to work on one card. That's exactly why I love Sizzix Christmas dies so much. They allow me to make a Christmas card or tag in less than an hour. Today I will show a quick Christmas tag that I made in only 50 minutes.

Sizzix Supplies:

Tim Holtz Bigz Die Tag & Bookplates

Thinlits Die Merry Christmas & Happy New Year

Thinlits Die Set Festive Scribbles

Thinlits Die Set Holiday Knit

The tag itself was cut out of cardstock with the Tim Holtz Bigz Die Tag & Bookplates. After that, I used the beautiful Thinlits Die Set Holiday Knit to cut out two decorative borders, which I attached on the bottom and at the top of my tag. 

For my sentiment, I used the beautiful Thinlits Die Merry Christmas & Happy New Year. Using a large die such as this one makes it really easy to whip up a card or tag rather quickly, because this die covers a large part of my tag already. As I wanted to add a little detail as well, I cut out two tiny stars with the Thinlits Die Set Festive Scribbles and added them on the left and right side of the sentiment. 

Finally, I added two reindeers as well. They are actually the left-overs of a border that I cut out with the Thinlits Die Set Holiday Knit. Never throw away your left-overs, because they could always come in handy on another project :) 

I hope you liked my tag.

Thank you for stopping by!

Hoi Sizzix fans!

Zijn jullie al begonnen met het maken van kerstkaarten? Ik moet er vaak aardig wat maken, dus besloot ik dit jaar op tijd te begonnen. Aangezien ik ongeveer 40 kerstkaarten moet maken, vind ik het fijn als ik niet al te veel tijd aan een kaartje hoef te besteden. Juist daarom werk ik graag met de mooie kerststansen van Sizzix als ik kerstkaarten maak. Daarmee lukt het me vaak om een kerstkaart of tag te maken in minder dan een uur tijd. Vandaag laat ik bijvoorbeeld een tag zien die ik in ongeveer 50 minuten heb gemaakt. 

Sizzix benodigdheden:

Tim Holtz Bigz Die Tag & Bookplates

Thinlits Die Merry Christmas & Happy New Year

Thinlits Die Set Festive Scribbles

Thinlits Die Set Holiday Knit

De tag zelf is uit cardstock gestanst met de Tim Holtz Bigz Die Tag & Bookplates. Daarna heb ik de mooie Thinlits Die Set Holiday Knit gebruikt om twee decoratieve randjes uit te stansen, die ik bovenaan en onderaan op mijn tag heb geplakt. 

Voor de tag heb ik de Thinlits Die Merry Christmas & Happy New Year gebruikt. Als je een grote stans als deze gebruikt ben je ook relatief snel klaar met een kaart, omdat hij al een groot deel van je kaart vult. Omdat ik ook wat kleine details wilde toevoegen heb ik twee sterren uitgestanst met de . Thinlits Die Set Festive Scribbles en heb ik deze links en rechts van de tekst opgeplakt.

Ten slotte heb ik nog twee rendiertjes aan mijn tag toegevoegd. Dit zijn eigenlijk de restjes van een randje dat ik heb uitgestanst met de Thinlits Die Set Holiday Knit. Gooi dus nooit de restjes van je stansen weg, want je weet nooit wanneer die nog van pas komen :) 

Ik hoop dat jullie mijn tag leuk vonden.

Dankjewel voor het langskomen!

Christmas Week 2 with Karine

Hello!

It is the Christmas tag’s week at Sizzix! Here is what I have done. I chose a glittery and natural combo which makes me think of the end-of-the-year celebrations :-)

Supply list:

Kraft bag

Cardstock: American Crafts

Glitter paper: American Crafts

Note paper

Embellishments: Teresa Collins, Freckled Fawn

Stars: Studio Calico

Ink: Distress Vintage Photo

Dies:

658300:  Sizzix Big Shot Starter Kit

659958:  Sizzix Bigz Die-Banners and hearts

659994:  Sizzix Bigz Die-Snowflakes #3

660058 : Sizzix Thinlits Die Set 17pk-Holiday Words Script

I didn’t want to create a classic tag for a change. So I selected a kraft bag and I had fun decorating it :-)

I started by cutting out large banners out of note paper (with the die Banners).

The beautiful large snowflake is cut out of white cardstock and shaded with Distress Vintage Photo ink to give it an aged aspect.

The various elements are assembled and glued with double-sided tape.

Small hearts are added as a finishing touch. They bring sparkle to the creation. They are cut out of American Crafts glitter paper; I just can’t stop using this paper these days!

So here is my small tag (not that much small, isn’t it?) realized in a New-York’s minute!

Have a lovely day,

Karine

Pour changer et ne pas partir sur un tag classique, j'ai opté pour une pochette en kraft que je me suis amusée à décorer :)

J'ai d'abord découpé des larges bannières avec le die Banners dans du papier musique.

Le grand et beau flocon est découpé dans du cardstock blanc, il est ensuite ombré à l'encre Distress Vintage Photo pour lui donner un aspect vieilli.

Les divers éléments sont ensuite assemblés et collés au double face.

Des petits coeurs sont ajoutés en touche finale et ajoutent une touche de brillance, ils sont découpés dans du papier paillettes American Crafts dont je ne peux me passer !

Et voilà un petit tag pas si petit que ça réalisé en quelques minutes !

Bonne journée

Red and white gift wrapping

 

 

 

This week's Christmas Challenge 2014 deals with gift wrapping and tags. I don't think I've ever had Christmas presents all wrapped up so early in the season but it feels great to get started on the wrapping.

Using Triplits Die Set 15PK - Tags in combination with Framelits Die Set 6PK - Leaves, Holly & Berry, some white glittery wrapping paper and a red and white gingham ribbon I wrapped three presents for my sister-in-law. Essentially all three gifts are decorated the same way but with slight differences; especially when it comes to the design of the tags.

 

 

This tag was cut a little shorter by partially diecutting it with the scallopped rectangle from Triplits Die Set 15PK - Tags. 

I kept this tag very simple but layering two tags from Triplits Die Set 15PK - Tags and then stamping the text.

The larger of the gifts was decorated with a larger set of holly leaves and I also wanted the holly berries to be a little larger than on the other two packages. This led me to use one of the circles from the Thinlits Die Set 9PK - Winter Borders & Rosette set to create the berries. For the tag I layered two tags on top of one another and diecut a heart using a die from Thinlits Die Set 6PK - I Heart This in the top tag.

I hope you feel inspired to start wrapping this year's Christmas presents yourself - I can only recommend getting a jump start on this job :o)

I denne uge drejer Christmas Challenge 2014 sig om gaveindpakning, og jeg tror ikke, at jeg tidligere har været i gang med gaveindpakningen så tidligt, men det føles godt.

 

Jeg har kombineret Triplits Die Set 15PK - Tags med Framelits Die Set 6PK - Leaves, Holly & Berry samt glimmergavepapir og rødternet bånd ved indpakningen af tre gaver til min svigerinde. Overordnet set er pakkerne ens, men der er små forskelle især hvad angår gavemærkaterne.

 

Den første tag har jeg skåret lidt kortere ved delvist at udstanse bunden af de to forskellige tags med en anden die fra Triplits Die Set 15PK - Tags.

 

Den anden tag er holdt helt enkel ved blot at lave en sandwich af to tags i forskellige farver og derefter stemple teksten direkte på taggen.

 

På den store pakke har jeg brugt et sæt større kristtjørnsblade, og jeg ville sikre mig, at bærrene også var lidt større, så derfor brugte jeg en af cirklerne fra Thinlits Die Set 9PK - Winter Borders & Rosette til at udstanse kristtjørnens bær. Taggen består af to forskellige tags lagt ovenpå hinanden. I den øverste har jeg udstanset det lille hjerte fra Thinlits Die Set 6PK - I Heart This, hvilket betyder, at der kommer en lille fin detalje frem.

 

Jeg håber, at du er blevet inspireret til selv at komme i gang med gaveindpakningen - jeg kan kun anbefale det, for det skal jo gøres ;o)

Christmas Challenge week 2 with Lilith

Welcome to the second day of the Christmas Challenge week. This week the designers at Sizzix will be bringing you ideas for wrapping and sprucing up your gifts. Today I'll be showing two tags I made. They are simple yet chic. They are also very easy to make and they will instantly make your gift something special. 

I picked two tags from my stash and a doily which I layered over the tags just covering one side. Then I cut out two snowflakes from the Sizzix Bigz Snowflake Die #3 which I placed on top. A sentiment and a small shiny bead. Simple and elegant.
