Has anyone taken part in Tim Holtz 12 Tags of Christmas?
I have done the first tag and almost finished the second, so I am a little behind, but I am determined to get all twelve done and this will be my crafty project over Christmas.
The first tag was ideal for the colour theme of this challenge.
I made the tags, instead of buying some, using plain cream card and using up some of the 1000 hole reinforcers I have but never use! Of course, the Fiskars Paper Trimmer was very handy for doing making sure the tags were straight!
I followed Tim’s method of decorating and the background was coloured using Distress Inks and then covered in Rock Candy.

The snowman is stamped onto Grungeboard and coloured using Copics and then I covered him in Stickles glitter. Stickles glitter creates the icicle effect at the very top too. Its a fab combination of techniques and one I’ve not used before – you can see Tims #1 Tag here and follow his technique, if you haven’t already!
If you’ve done any of his tags then I would love to see…

What's Hot









This is great! I prefer your snowman to Tims – much cuter LOL
What stamp did you use?
Thanks Sharon…x
Stamp is Whipper Snapper – Snowman Snow Words. He has words going all around him but I cut those off, lol.
WOW Caroline, thats gorgeous!!! Looking forward to seeing all your tags !!! I just never found the time for these this year

That’s lovely Caroline. I followed Tiim’s tags avidly but haven’t actually got around to making any yet! I was lucky enough to win one of his random blog prizes this year, which was SO exciting – it was a set of his stamps.
That’s gorgeous Caroline, I only managed the first one. Your snowman is really cute.xx
Great tag Caroline, I’ve followed them and have all my bits ready to make them once all the Christmas stuff is organised.
I haven’t taken part in Tims 12 tags for christmas but I have had a nose every now and then xx
Loving this tag Caroline xxx Well done in completing it too x
I’ve had a nose at the tags too but haven’t taken part – some great techniques he’s teaching though.
That snowman is very cute
This is lovely. I love the background. I am a Tim Holtz fan – just been experimenting with distress inks lately. I haven’t checked out the 12 tags yet. Off to have a look now …
Great tag Caroline. Love your snowman. He is soooo cute. Good Luck with the rest.xx As you know. I have blogged all 12!
This is so special – it’s one tag I wouldn’t want to throw away! Wish I had your patience to make such beautiful tags!
This is really stunning, would have to keep this tag if i found it on my presents under the tree. reaaly worth all the patience spent on it. Thanks for sharing it.
