Tim Holtz is a stamping rock star & he is sharing his favorite techniques on his blog with the 12 Tags of Christmas.  Each day he has posted a new tag & they are just getting better & better.  I can't even pick a favorite.  Be sure to check them out at http://www.timholtz.typepad.com/ .  You won't be sorry.  I've been playing along each day & I made a big mess in my stamp room.  Those of you that know me know that I can't create when it's messy.  I took a picture of my messy desk so I had proof that I can make a mess.  I bet Char won't even believe it's my desk!  I'll post a few tags at a time.  If you want to know what supplies I used, please let me know. 

I can hardly believe it's almost Christmas.  My tree has been up for a bit, but I didn't put the ornaments on it right away.  My cat was spending most of his time looking at the tree.  He's back to the sofa, so I put my ornaments on the tree.  I showed you all the ornaments in another post & now I'm going to show you the tags that I've made over the years.  They were really simple to make & I add more each year. 

Every year, my Christmas tree is decorated with stamped tags.  This year, I decided to add some stamped ornaments.  I did a few dozen of each type of ornament to add to my tage.  I'll post a picture of my tree as soon as I get all of the ornaments on it.  I have the tree up.  Joey put it up with the boys last frriday.  The cat is spending an awful lot of time fo his time looking at the tree.  It just makes me wonder what he has planned.  I also did a mini tree, but it needs more ornaments. 

This ornament is the newest of the group.  I stamped the snowflake onto white cardstock & punched it out. Then I stamped the Joy wreath one another piece of white cardstock & cut it out with my Nestabilities.  I attached it to a scalloped nestability shape that I cut out of a blue scrap.  The white dots are doen with a white gel pen.  This ornament is two sided.
Stamps:  Snowflake-Hero Arts, Joy Wreath-Inkadinkado
Inks: Brilliance Blue Ink Pad
Papers: White, Light Blue
Accessories: Spellbinders Nestabilities Small Scalloped Circles & Small Circles, PSX Diamond Sparkles, Flat Backed White Pearls, Blue Ribbon, Bow Easy

Here is a picture of all of the ornament designs.  I just used my scraps of white & blue papers.  The Nestability Create-A-Flake snowflakes are in an earlier post.  They were just die cut & put together with foam tape.  I used PSX Diamond Sparkles on them. The bottom middle ornament is a bit different from the others.  I stamped the snowflake by Inkadinkado in Blue Brilliance ink onto white paper & cut it out with my Circle Nestabilities.  I attaches it to a dark blue layer that was cut with the scalloped Nestabilities.  The whole thing was attached to a flat round piece of paper mache.  All of the ornaments are two sided.
