Welcome to Day 7 of Ellen Hutson LLC’s 12 Tags of Christmas. This year my friend Lisa Spangler and I are using products from Avery Elle with a “Black & White” theme. (Don’t forget to pop over to Lisa’s blog to see what she’s made.) If you’ve missed the other days – you can find them all here. And be sure to leave a comment on our all of our blogs for a chance to win a $25 gift card!
Now onto the tags! Because I frequently reach for black when I design, this theme was right up my street and I set out to create scenes evocative of a frosty winter night.
While the adorable little bear might grab the spotlight, I think the “night sky” is the sleeper hit that pulls the design together; it’s the big, pretty starry background stamp in Avery Elle’s Starry Scene set. It’s a large, solid image, so I used a MISTI to stamp it a few times to get a deep, crisp black with solid coverage (VersaFine Clair Nocturne is my go-to for this type of thing.) It’s a large enough image that I could cut the tags directly from it – love that!
As much as I love that pretty night sky, I think my favorite bits to make are the scarves. They were stamped with the Essentials by Ellen Plaid Maker Stamp Set and paper pieced. (Snowflakes from the EBE Snow Flurries Sequin Mix made for another sweet addition).
In addition to a main tag, I like to add a monogrammed tag instead of a “to” and it’s usually pretty small, but this snowflake (from Avery Elle’s Snow Tag Stamp Set) matched too well to pass up. I used a basic circle die to knock out the center where the initial lives and layered it on top of the same die cut, cut again from black cardstock, popping up the layers with a thin dimensional adhesive for a bit of depth. (I think the snowflakes make awesome tags on their own too.)
Thanks for stopping by!

So cute! 🙂 Love that little bear.
Great idea. Not sure I would have thought of it. Love the idea of snowflake with center cut out, clever.
Love the simple Black and White. This shows you don;t always need color!
I am especially fond of the snowflake on the bear’s nose. Too cute!

the black and white is so striking but that bear, oh my that bear is just too cute
I have never thought about black/white for tags but your tags here have inspired me to get some made ASAP! I agree the night sky is stunning and that bear and his scarf tugged at my heart 🙂 Thanks for sharing both tags and for the inspiration.

Becca iki erkek arasında kararsız kalmıştır; gizemli, karamsar ve saçma derecede soluk benizli çocuk ile dayanıklı, sevimli ve ona küçük gay kardeşi’ni hatırlatan çocuk arasında. İkisi arasında bir karar vermek için her an kendisinin de yemeğe dönüşebileceği bir aile yemeğini sağ salim atlatmalıdır. İçinde bulunduğu romantik karmaşalar yeterli değilmiş gibi, bir yandan da kontrol delisi olan ve kendisine küçük bir bebekmiş gibi davranan babasıyla da başetmelidir. Mezuniyet gecesi gelip çatmadan karar vermek zorunda olan Becca, gizemli bir dünyadan gelen Alice’ten Lady GaGa’ya kadar birçok kişiden yardım alır! Cedrick Randt
