Hello everyone,
Time for a new challenge over at Little Red Wagon and our lovely Brenda is hostess and her theme that we are all going to play along with is ...TAG..You're it.
Oh, my, I have really become a fan of tags, they are quick easy, colourful and mine are always big and rarely do I make one...this time I made four!..
There was a lot of prep done and some fiddly bits, but I had a lot of fun and a stress free day so made a whole day of it, die cutting, snowflaking and all that stuff..
first my wagon from Spellbinders, I love this cart/wagon and added half a TH tree, just the top section, that is how I got it smaller..
So one in the wagon and not the other..
Been asked many times about the wheel,
so this is how I do it without a die..
A circle frame...cut sticks, glue them on around the frame
add the circle in the center, 2 of them, one brown one black..
Flip it and trim it..after adding another frame for stability.
Nearly there, just a little metal touch..
I add a metal nut in the center to finish off..
and whipped up three of them..
and with leftovers too, how neat..
tree, all layered up,
and no bad language was coming from this room today,
everything went smoothly..
Time for the tags..1..2..3..4..
Inked the edges..
Splattered paint everywhere..
Ripped leftover card into snowbanks..
and die cut these fabulous snowmen..great size..
Everything ready to go..
these look the same but in fact, the first ones were the big ones,
I had to remake these and they are 2 sizes smaller..look the same though.
time to build tags...
step by step...not hard.
Just layer and glue...
Two trees, two wheels and two birds...done.
Lovely crunchie snow and added snowflakes..
small trees and very happy snowmen..
and there you go..four tags..DONE!!
So come and join us HERE with your tags..
Thank you so much for stopping by..
I'll see you tomorrow..
luv CHRISSYxx

Your set of tags are really adorable here Chrissy! I always love how you put together your die cut pieces to make your scenes! The snowmen are super cute and they look so happy too! The fluffy snow is so fun!
Great tags, such a lot of work. Anesha x

OMGosh, fantastic! I love your dies (TH fan), and the wheel idea is infinitely clever. Such absolutely wonderful tags. Thank you for sharing at A Cut Above.
Oh wow, these are all so awesome. I love how you added the tree everywhere...the wagon, behind the wheel and with the snow people. And, thanks for the tutorial on the wagon wheel. Very creative idea. Thanks for sharing at A Cut Above's December, "Anything Goes With A Die Cut Challenge".
