Christmas Time!!!!

Hello y'all! Christmas is my absolute favorite time of the year. I can give gifts and nobody can say no. Hehehe! This tag is for my secret Santa at work. I hope she likes it and her gift-inside the awesome looking box is everything she will need for a spa day. Soaps, lotions, loofa, candle, showering gel and chocolate. And because I am a vet tech and she has 2 dogs, I included some dog treats dipped in yogurt for her furry babies.


I used my Tim Holtz (TH) tag die and made up about 20 tags so I would be good to go in the tag department. I used Mowed Lawn and Fire Brick DI for the background. I edged the tag with the TH distress tool and chalked around the tag with Dark Bark fluid chalker. Then I grabbed my TH stamp Fabulous Flourish, and embossed the stamped image with Snow embossing powder. It makes the stamped image POP! Loves it. 


I then sprayed Sheer Shimmer Spritz Frost to the entire tag for a glittery effect. Next I applied a ribbon at the bottom and added two brads from My Minds Eye-Sleigh Bells Ring. But shhhhhh-the brads actually hide a "mistake" I made during the heat embossing moment. Oops. 

I added some glitter ribbon and my Secret Santas name and I was done. 

Here are a couple of different angles and a close up so you can see all the glittery goodness. 



Thanks for stopping by during this busy Holiday season! Merry Christmas and Carpe Diem!

    So glad that you can see the glitter Lucyna! My pictures seem to have lost their luster when I loaded it to my computer. I am not sure what went wrong. Lol.

    Love the old fashioned Santa. The box is totally awesome. Of course, I like that it is filled with spa goodies but especially the dog treats!

      Hey there little lady! The dog treats are so cute and smell really good. Lol. My dogs want to eat it themselves but they are too well mannered for that. Any luck on the stamp yet? I still haven't found one.

    Thank you Jenny! Working on my distressing techniques and the proper paper to use. Cheap paper doesn't do well, just FYI. Lol
