Mitten Tag/Ornaments

Hi!  Here are some mitten tags I made from Spellbinders mitten dies.  One side has the red felt and the other some PTI cardstock so we could write the names on.  I used Liquid Stitch to glue the mittens together and the snowflake.   

The red felt I just bought at Ben Franklin.  It cut pretty well.  The snowflake is the medium sized one from My Favorite Things Die-namics dies.  I used PTI felt for the snowflakes.  I tried using less expensive felt but it just wouldn't cut cleanly even when I tried to fatten up the layering recipe on the Big Shot.  Even with the PTI felt I used a sheet of cardstock to cut the snowflake out nicely.  I used some ribbon for the trim and red baker's twine.  I colored some clear bling with my red copic pen for the center of the snowflake.

On the reverse side of the mitten, I used PTI's Tiny Treats Xmas set (I use this set a lot!).  I thought the mittens matched so nicely.  I added some stickles.  That's the extent of my glitter use--it's not as messy.  The year is stamped with PTI's Simple Alphabet.  

Tied the mittens onto some teachers' gifts that I wrapped up last night.  And after unwrapping the gifts, these tags can also be used as ornaments. 

Will be entering these in a couple of challenges too.  ACLP's Tag It! challenge and Lollipop Crafts Christmas Tags challenge.

Can't believe it's almost Christmas!  Still have a lot to do.  Thanks for reading!

The Greeting Farm's FFF -- Bright Colors!!

Hello!  It is The Greeting Farm's weekly Farm Fresh Friday!  Kelli is challenging us to use Bright Colors on our projects. 

I thought TGF's newly released clear stamp set Holiday Blessings would be perfect to make some bright tags.  And yes, I did what some stampers may consider a horror and that is I cut the sentiments away from the image.  But I really wanted to curve my sentiments to fit the circle so I carefully cut them apart with some skinny and sharp scissors.  I didn't cut the sentiment itself apart though.  I just selectively stamped the sentiment so I could get part of it over and under the image.

I selectively stamped which images I wanted also.  There are 5 trees in a row but I just wanted 3.

I added Stickles and some glossy accents to each tag.

The tags are from PTI's tag die.  I really like the shape of this tag cause it reminds me of an ornament.

Alrighty, head over to TGF's blog to see what bright creations the rest of the team came up with and be sure to join in on the challenge!
