Tags for Christmas Presents

Hi everyone and happy 3rd Advent Sunday :)

Only 10 more days until Christmas... *phew*... time flies!

I couldn't sleep last night and woke up at 3:30 am *sigh* So I decided, not to let grass grow under my feet, but got creative *lol* (does this sound familiar to some of you?)

And I did some tags for our Christmas presents :-)

They are quite simple and quick to create, yet I love the look of them. Especially all the golden shimmer (I am such a sucker for all things shimmery and sparkly, and around Christmas, I especially love gold a lot ;-) )

So I went ahead and die cut left over scraps from a 6x6 paper pad by My Mind's Eye ("Lost and Found Christmas") and cut them with the "Funky Round Tag" and "Funky Square Tag" Fri-Dies from CAS-ual Fridays Stamps.

I stamped the sentiment (also from CAS-ual Fridays Stamp; from their "Christmas Carols" set) with Golden Glitz Delicata inks from Tsukineko. Oh my goodness.. how I loooove this beautiful, rich and sparkly golden ink! I just can't get enough of it. I even "colored" the small star wood veneers (Studio Calico) with the same Delicata ink, by using a sponge dauber and then dabbing the golden ink onto them. I also wiped around the edges of all patterned paper for a little bit of extra golden shimmer (did I tell you, that I am a huge fan of sparkle and shine? ;-) ).  I finished my tags with some rustic looking natural twine (to balance all of the gold).

I hope the recipients will love them as much as I do. And I hope you like them, too :)

Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you will come back, visiting my blog soon! :)
