I'd love to share some projects I made for you today! Are you ready?
I'm still a lover of the "shaker" both in card and tag form so I gave one a whirl for this hop today!
I started with our Anytime Tags Dies and then die cut it with our Oh My Ornaments Dies to create the shaker window which I backed with some pretty Winter themed paper. The tiny greeting perfect for this tag is from our Holly Jolly Stamp Set. This set has been around since we first started out. It's a WINNER for any crafter's collection. The greetings are sweet and petite!
Here's a closer look at the items from Lil' Inker Designs used to create this fun tag.
I was in a coloring mood so I decided to try my hand at making a non-holiday stamp set into one perfect for it! Here I started by stamping and die cutting this cute image from our Cat Treats Stamp Set. This image is actually of the cats taking a selfie. So I cut out the phone image and replaced it with a coffee mug from another image in the same set. To give this more of a Christmas feel I just colored the clothing in reds and greens. Then, I took the hat of my Santa from our Moody Santa Stamps and trimmed it to fit on the girl kitty's head.
Here is a look at some of the other items from our line used to make this tag.

I was excited to see your tags on the 25 Days of Christmas Tags for day 6. I am expecting your set Cat Treats in the mail this week...so I know which tag will be my inspiration. ;) On your Merry and Bright tag, I especially like how you topped it off....with the twill, hemp twine and round black metal tag. Beautiful work!!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you for being a sponsor of Tracy's tag series. I have followed this for several years and get some fabulous ideas!! I adore your shaker tag!! I have the anytime tags but not the ornament dies so I am going to look through my stash and see what else I can come up with to try and make something similar. As you know, I love Lil' Inkers - your quality is outstanding and you have a fabulous team that inspires me with each release!!!
ReplyDeleteI love these tags and your images are absolutely fabulous. Thank you for inspiring me to create.
ReplyDeleteLove your shaker tag, and the merry and bright one is adorable such a fun time at Tracy's tag series.
ReplyDeleteLOVE your shaker tag!!! They are all awesome & fun!!
ReplyDeleteWowsa... there's some terrific tags here and I'm pretty sure this could cost me some money. I need to go back and have another look... love the stamps and dies so if some of them happen to fall into my shopping cart... well, stuff happens!
ReplyDelete"oh whisker tree, oh whisker tree!" Laura!!! these caroling fur-balls couldn't be more darling! and then you throw in those amazing GRAY tags - I just know there was something amazing ON them but those tags!!! I LOved making a tag for today with my favorite Vintage Christmas Wreath... xx

Oh my goodness Laura, these are all such adorable tags! I too am a HUGE tag fiend (for ALL occasions) and also a shaker lover and to have both in one...ALL the better! Love all of your tag dies, they are simply adorable. Being a (young-ish) grandma with no income, I have had to be very creative in my tag making. I am only beginning to get a few actual tag dies now and it is awesome to see what is available. Thanks for sharing your amazing tags, ideas and products. ♥ them all!
ReplyDeleteI always look forward to your creations, and your tags do not disappoint!!! I am most inspired by your sweet first tag, the shaker!!! Absolutely love it!!!
ReplyDeleteLove the tag with the dots around the edge.
ReplyDeleteHaving the die cuts make it so much easier
and faster to make tags.

Cute and fun!!!!!
ReplyDeletelovely tag! thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteso many gorgeous tags and so many ideas to try out:)
ReplyDeleteThanks for sponsoring Day 6, Laura! All of your tags are adorable and beautifully done. Your Rowdy Reindeer are so cute, and I love your Embossed Dots tag base.
ReplyDeleteWonder tags, Laura. I love cats, so I'm naturally drawn to your cute cat tag, but I'm a real sucker for shakers too. Glad I don't have to pick a favorite because both are brilliant.
ReplyDeleteYeah. Ok so...these are just so fabulous that you leave me stumbling for words.
ReplyDeleteCute tags and cute stamps.

Very pretty ornament shaker, cute cats and funny rowdy reindeer tags.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for sponsoring Day 6. Your tags are ALL adorable. I simply can't pick a favorite. I really love shakers, but the kitties are so sweet! And well, I have a thing for reindeer. Especially naughty ones! haha
ReplyDeleteI love all these tags and I love how they all came together. They are beautiful. I think I get my inspiration from your shaker tag. I will have to try and make one.
ReplyDeleteLove the shaker tag but I gotta tell you that I really love the Rowdy Reindeer tags. The sentiment about the filthy animal cracks me up and reminds me of the movie "Home Alone". Love it. [Bunny]
ReplyDeleteYour tags are all so
ReplyDeletefun and I love the
cats and reindeer tags.
