Currently I am doing a Friday morning Lives at 9 am CT. Replays will be on my YouTube Channel.
I have a few requests to edit the Lives. Currently I am not going to edit them. This is for a couple of reasons:
1) Lives are new to me and we are going to stick with this format for a bit. I personally love Lives. I haven't watched an edited Live so I reserve the right to reconsider in the future if I think it's something I can fit in my schedule.
2) I don't want to spend the precious hours I have for creating new content, editing a Live. I will be bringing the exact same amount of traditional content and videos to my channel. Lives/replays are in addition to that content.
If you want to join us for some real-time crafty fun each week I would love to "see" you there. Please make sure to SUBSCRIBE to my YouTube Channel and click the notification bell so that YouTube alerts you when I'm going live. I am trying to reach 100,000 subscribers so if you haven't subscribed yet I would SO appreciate it! I am grateful for my community on all the platforms!
Thanks to everyone who joined me today! I had a blast visiting with everyone. ❤️

The deer from the Pink & Main Deer Friend Stamp Set was stamped on smooth white cardstock with Hero Arts Intens-ified Black Ink and colored in with the following Copic Markers:
Hooves: E47, E49
Light parts of deer: E40, E43, R20
Dark parts of deer: E43, E44
Nose: R46
The deer was die cut with the coordinating Pink & Main Deer Friend Die and then die cut again from Lawn Fawn Chocolate Bar Cardstock. The deer was adhered back to front to make a sturdy tag and to hide any bleed through from the markers.
The Hero Arts Nesting Tag Dies hole reinforcer was die cut from Lawn Fawn Chocolate Bar Cardstock and adhered to the top of each tag.
Nuvo Crystal Drops in Ebony were used to accent the eyes. A red pom pom was used for the nose and the tags were finished with some Lawn Trimmings twine! (Some thin silk ribbon was tied around the necks of half of the reindeer).

Cardinal: Light Cadmium Red, Dark Red, Naples Yellow, Warm Gray VI, Cold Gray V
Snow: White, Sky Blue
Branch: Walnut Brown, Bistre
Pine Leaves: Earth Green, Chromium Green Opaque, White, Walnut Brown
Holly Leaves: May Green, Deep Cobalt Green
Berries: Walnut Brown, Permanent Carmine, Middle Cadmium Red
The ornaments were splattered with white gouache to mimic "snow". The eye was emphasized with a black gelly pen. The front of the tag was sprayed with a varnish (I used Krylon Varnish I picked up at Wal-Mart) or sealant like the Krylon Clear Coating to make the image permanent so it doesn't fade or smear.
The tags were finished with twine, ribbons, and bells!

Spinner tags have been one of my most liked Handmade Holiday projects over the years. Check out the Reindeer Spinner Tags HERE and the Sheep Spinner Tags HERE. This year's spinner tags feature the darling Simon Says Stamp Feline Like Christmas Stamp Set and the Lawn Fawn Magic Iris Snow Globe Add On Dies to make spinner tags. Because these are a bit more labor intensive, I only created 3 tags. You could easily make more by cutting out a few of the extra steps as I mention in the video above. Let's get started!

With all the gnome projects I've shared lately, I had asked on one of my YouTube videos if you wanted to see gnome-shaped gift tags and that was an overwhelming "yes"! We will be creating shaped tags with all four gnomes from Simon Says Stamp: Gnome (the original), Lil Gnome, She Gnome, and Deco Hat Gnome (please note I opted to use the plain hat version instead of the deco hat for this gnome).

Welcome to Day 1 of my last minute Handmade Holiday 2019 Series!
I'm back with my sixth year of last minute handmade ideas! SIX years, y'all! Wow. Thank you so much for your support of this series. I have been overwhelmed and almost considered not doing the series this year but I kept getting emails and comments asking for it so I sat down to make a list of projects I could do and I got really excited. This series is for YOU crafting friends. I appreciate each and every one of you and y'all make this possible. Much love to everyone.
The goal of this series is adding handmade touches to gifts for our friends and family. Even with the craziness of the season I like to be able to personalize the gifts under our tree. Over the next couple of weeks I'll be sharing mostly quick (an hour or less) Handmade Holiday ideas for cards, tags and gift wrapping sure to add that handmade touch we all love. Most ideas will include multiples (today I created eight gift tags)!
Each Handmade Holiday project blog post will feature a brand new, never before seen project(s) plus an incredible giveaway from a generous sponsor!
SCALLOP SQUARE & CIRLCE GIFT TAGS
Tags are always a big part of my Handmade Holiday Series. My 2019 series will feature a lot of different gift tags. These traditional colors tags feature stamps, dies, patterned papers, and gems from Honey Bee Stamps. Dimension was created with wreaths and poinsettias on the tag fronts. My goal with tags is to make them pretty enough for the recipient to use them on their tree or in another way after the gift has been given! To see some of the gift tags from past years please click HERE.
V I D E O T U T O R I A L
To watch the creation of these holiday gift tags from start to finish, click HERE or watch below:
These tags were created "assembly-line" style, meaning I did all the die cutting first, then assembled the wreaths, the poinsettias, the bows, etc. I added glitter and spray to the wreaths and poinsettias and then assembled the tag bases before putting it all together. This project from start to finish (die cutting to final assembly took 2 hours).
The wreaths were created by die cutting Hero Hues Meadow and Palm cardstock with the Joy Noel Wreath Dies and layering one wreath on top of the other. Ranger Mulit Matte Medium was lightly applied to some of the wreath and Hero Arts Icicle Glitter was sprinkled over the wreaths for a touch of icy sparkle!
Gems from the Holiday Traditions Crystal Gems or Rainbow Crystal Gems were adhered to the wreaths as "berries" for extra sparkle! These little gems are so much easier than trying to add die cut berries. You could also use small sequins or Nuvo Crystal Drops!
Each tag was finished by threading through a bit of red and white baker's twine.
