25 Days of Christmas Tags 2019...Day 10

Welcome to Day10 of The 25 Days of Christmas Tags 2019.  If you are arriving for the first time, all the details and the link up can be found HERE.

Our sponsor for Day 10 is Simon Says Stamp.

Simon Says Stamp sent me this gorgeous Leaves and Berries Background stamp to play with.  I must admit to initially being a bit puzzled on how to use a background stamp on my tags.  Luckily for me, I had just seen this video and blog post by Jennifer McGuire, and my creative juices kicked in.

I used the emboss resist technique to create the backgrounds for these tags, and added a few other supplies from Simon Says Stamp in my stash to complete my tags.

For this tag, I stamped the Leaves and Berries stamp in blue, then Versamark, then heat embossed.  After that, I sponged ink all over the background.  I used SSS Village Wafer Dies to create my wintery scene.

For this tag, I stamped the  Leaves and Berries stamp in green, then Versamark, then heat embossed, and then sponged a bright blue over all.  I used the Merry Christmas Die to add my sentiment.

I still had a bit of that blue and green background left, so I used it as the hill in this card below.

By this point, I was on a huge roll with this stamp, and frankly could not see how I had lived without it for this long.


This card involved me white heat embossing on kraft card stock, and using the same Merry Christmas Die for my sentiment.

My last card features that fabulous Leaves and Berries stamp one more time.

As usual, I ran out of time well before I ran out of ideas, so had to leave it there.
