Studio Monday with Nina-Marie: Tags 5 Ways!
Hello crafters, it’s Nina-Marie here! I am so excited to be sharing some Christmas and Holiday tag inspiration. I’ve got 5 unique designs for you that should hopefully give you some ideas for YOUR tags this season! All of the tags feature fun stamps and dies from your favorite brands and I can’t wait for you to see how I made these!
I love this Fold Over Tag from Reverse Confetti! Just cut it from some gorgeous patterned papers and you end up with this stunning, two toned design! I decorated the tag with a greeting from our Joyful Frame die and a bit of ribbon and twine trimmings.
Oh Christmas Bee is one of Honey Bee Stamps’ newest stamp and die sets and oh my how cute is he?! Colored with Copics, this little buzzing bee comes to life for the Holidays! I die cut his coordinating bee outline shape a second time from white cardstock and attached that to the back for a top folding card effect.
The greeting on this adorable reindeer is true indeed – who wouldn’t want to receive a gift with this cutie on it? These Christmas Characters from SugarPea Designs are so much fun to cut and build, especially when you make them from ThermoWeb Flock Sheets!
If you need a simpler tag design this year for your gifts, try out this fun mini tag technique! I stamped these colorful trees from Gina K. Designs’ Holiday Trees set and cut them from the coordinating dies. Keeping them super simple, I just added a little embellishment with some fun confetti pieces.
And of course, the holidays wouldn’t be complete without some sparkle and shine! Gina K. Designs’ Ornamental Foil Mates paired perfectly with Brutus Monroe Red Static foil. I cut the foiled stripes paper and some gold glitter cardstock with the Simon Says Stamp and CZ Design Ho Ho Ho tag; when you layer these beauties together and add a sprig of berries, you get pure Christmas magic!
Be sure to watch the video below to see how I made all these festive tags! I hope they inspire you to create some holiday tags of your own!

Art Journaling with Shari Carroll
Welcome everyone!! It’s Shari here with an art journaling inspiration for you. Actually, I’ve figured out a relief technique that can be used in not just your art journaling but also your mixed media projects.
Relief is a raised area in art, mainly seen in sculptures and carvings. On this page, I’ve used paper and dies to get that look along with a Dina Wakley Glazing Medium. Glazing Medium extends the drying time of paint so you can add some and have time to wipe some away.
The dark Umber paint I’ve used stays in the recessed areas of the leaves. Cool, isn’t it? You may notice some wrinkles and distressed looking areas of the Collage Frame, that was achieved by covering the frame with tissue wrapping paper first and creating intentional ridges, creases, and imperfections.
I love to experiment in my journal before committing techniques onto a canvas or time-consuming project. I can’t wait to try this with other colors of paint and dies.
