You can join 5 times so you could have 5 chances to win! How AWESOME is that!! All winners are chosen randomly, so everyone has an equal chance to win! Woo Hoo!! Good Luck to everyone! The Design Team is looking forward to seeing your creative makes and will pop around to visit you ASAP!
Please pop by the challenge blog to see what our lovely guest, Sue and the DT have made :-)





I used a MISTI tool and a  selection of Simon Says Stamp Hybrid Inks to colour the flowers and leaves. For the background I used a Hero Arts Polka Dots Prints Cling Stamp by Lia Griffiths, which is no longer available but there are lots more to choose from ;-) 


and I made one in a purple colorway while I had all of the supplies out ;-) The Misti tool makes this so easy to do!

Simon Says Stamp Snowflake Tags

Hi all and welcome to the start of the 25 Days of Christmas Tags event hosted by the fabulous Tracey McNeeley aka In My Creative Opinion!
This is the 9th year that Tracey has hosted this event and Simon Says Stamp is thrilled to be joining in on Day10!


Each day up to November 29th there will be a different company sponsoring with fabulous crafty give aways and prizes to be won PLUS the company design teams will be joining in with lots of gorgeous Christmas Tags for our inspiration!


By joining in with the event YOU could win a $50 Gift Voucher to Simon Says Stamp! How awesome is that! ;-) 


I am always making last minute tags to attach to gifts and as they are generally rushed they are invariably, err shall we say, pretty basic as in just a die cut tag, so this event is a perfect kick up the butt to get me more organised ;-)

I made a few tags to share today. I never have enough tags at Christmas so this year I thought rather tha spending time on one tag, I would get a little production line going using these gorgeous Snowflake Tags ;-)


I smooched Candied Apple, Seedless Preserves and Picked Raspberry inks onto watercolor paper, spritsing and drying between each colour. I did the same using Stormy Sky, Tumbled Glass and Peacock Feathers on the other.  I dried with a heat tool before die cutting the tags. I didn't want to waste the extra bits so I used them to make the white tags. I had fussy cut backings for all of the tags.

and I couldn't resisit making a little shaker tag using this adorable Ho Ho Deer Circle Die and a Stitched Dress Up Tag Set  ;-)
