Tim's 12 Tags of Christmas - Day 6

I've managed to get another made so I'm halfway there!   This is nothing like Tim's one - I don't have the embossing folder he used, so I decided to take inspiration from the bright colours he used instead!  I did use sticky back foil which was nice to work with, and my Christmas tree embossing folder.  Some of my paint dabbers have dried up but I watered them down a bit and this is the result!

Tim's 12 Tags of Christmas - Day 5

I really liked making this tag.  I used my Crafty Individuals Christmas greeting stamp and a Sizzix mistletoe die to make the wreath.  And I am really liking the lovely red of the Winter Distress Ink set too!  It's a proper red red!!

Tim's 12 Tags of Christmas - Day 4

Woohoo I am a third of the way through Tim's Tags!  The 12th one was today and I am way behind, but I will just toodle along slowly in my own time and get there eventually!  Dare I say that I'm not too keen on a few of them this year!!  I hope I don't get struck down for saying that!!  So I will have to think carefully about how I am going to interpret one or two of the ones to come!  
Anyways, here is Day 4 - which I enjoyed doing.  Crackle glaze is fun to use and the Distress Stain went over it very well, first time I have tried that technique.  I didn't use white dabber on my swirly stamp like Tim did, as I haven't got it all off from the last time I did that last year and the stamp hasn't been the same since!  So I used blue ink instead!  I did stamp a music stamp on the numbers to try and match Tim's but when I put the Glossy Accents on the ink ran but never mind!

Tim's 12 Tags of Christmas - Day 3

Here is my version of Day 3's tag.  I enjoyed this one much more than Day 2!  I'm glad I had already bought the die for cutting all the holly leaves etc. as so far I have used it twice out of 3 tags so I feel I am getting my money's worth!

Tim's 12 Tags of Christmas - Day 2

Well this tag was a nightmare to do!  I had a grungeboard deer but would it stick to the sticky canvas!!  No it wouldn't, and I couldn't cut round the fiddly antlers that it had so I chopped them off in the end in annoyance!  So, this is my version of what Tim made, I don't like it very much but hopefully the next one will be better!  Oh yes, I stuck the music paper on the wrong way up too and had to sort that out!

Tim's Tag

Well Tim is on Day 5 and I have just completed Day 1 of his 12 Tags of Christmas so I am way behind before I've hardly started!   This is my version - I won't be buying anything specially to use on these tags this year like I have other years,  so trying to make do with what I already have - although on a visit to the garden centre this morning I spotted these little cones which are ideal as I don't have the Pine Cone die that Tim used!

12 Tags of Christmas - Day 9

Here is my version of Tim's Day 9.  I enjoyed  making the rosette without using the die that Tim has!  I would do them again for scrapbook embellishments, I think they are quite effective.

12 Tags of Christmas - Day 7

Nearly half way through January and I am on Day 7 of Tim's 12 Tags of Christmas - that's about true to form for me!  I will finish them - eventually!  Here is my interpretation of Day 7 made as a skinny which will end up as a book!!

Tim's Tags Day 6

Half way!  I wonder if I will finish these by Christmas!  Again I had nothing that Tim used on his 12 Tags of Christmas.  Luckily a friend had sent me a Christmas card with a cut out deer on so I used that for this skinny - I hope she won't mind!

Tim's Tags Day 5

Here is my interpretation of Tim's 12 Tags of Christmas Day 5.  I do really like this one and it although I had none of the same things he used I think I managed to match up what I did have quite well! Nearly half way through now lol!!

Tim's Tags Day 4

Here is my version of Tim's 12 Tags of Christmas Day 4 - I am no so keen on this one, I didn't  have anything that he used other than the Wish thingy!

Tim's Tags Day 3

Well Tim Holtz has completed his 12 Tags of Christmas today, and I am up to Day 3!  Here is my interpretation of it, made as a skinny instead a tag so I can bind them into a book.

Tim's Tags Day 2

I have made my version of Tim's 12 Tags of Christmas Day 2 - mine is a skinny which I will bind into a book when they are done! Again I didn't have the same things to use but used what was nearest that I already had!

12 Tags of Christmas - Day 1

I wanted to join in with Tim's 12 Tags of Christmas again this year,  but not make tags!  For a change I thought I would make skinnys and then bind them into a book.  I am waaaaaay behind - nothing new there!  So here is Day 1!  I didn't of course have everything Tim uses and won't for probably all of the tags, but here is my interpretation of it above, and Tim's tag below.

Tim's version!

 

 

12 Tags of Christmas

Here are all of my 12 Tags of Christmas and I have put Tim's underneath! I enjoyed doing them although some were a bit of a challenge!

12 Tags of Christmas - Tag 12 - Finally!

I have finally finished the 12th tag in Tim's 12 Tags of Christmas. The flowers were very fiddly for my poor arthritic fingers! I think I need to perfect them a bit really, but I didn't have the right sort of shapes to use. I drew a template for the greenish one, and used a Slice diecut for the reddish one. More practise needed I think!!

12 Tags of Christmas - Tag 11

Nearly done these now! This is my version of Tim's Day 11 tag. I am not as keen on this one as some of the others. I had to improvise with the deer by using the leftover as a stencil from a grungeboard one and drawing round it on grungepaper and cutting it out, colouring with Red Pepper adirondack dabber and then stamping snowflakes over it, and as I don't have the itop thingy to make the flower centres Tim used I luckily had some fabric covered brads for Christmas (thank you She!) which I used instead! Nor do I have any white rub ons so had to use my white Inkessential pen!

12 Tags of Christmas - Tag 10

I didn't have all the metal bits and bobs Tim used for Day 10's tag, so I improvised and covered my tag in kitchen foil and alcohol inked it, then painted my grungeboard letters etc. with Silver dabber. I quite like it! 2 more tags to go and I am done!! The flash has made it look a bit wrinkly but it isn't really!

12 Tags of Christmas - Tag 9

I want to finish my 12 tags inspired by Tim's 12 Tags of Christmas, so here is my version of Tag 9! Only 3 to go so hopefully I will finish them over the next few days! I like this one, the photos are fab and the film strip ribbon is lovely to use, but not so lovely to wind back up to put it in the tin - it took me 3 goes to fit it back in!!
