Christmas Decor Tags and Cards

I love when there is time during the Christmas season to create with a Christmas theme.  I managed a couple of decor tags to add to my collection to hang around the house.

Front and back
      

Both tags began on craft paper embossed with an embossing folder that I inked with red inks before running it through the embossing machine.  Then embellished with die cuts and stamping.

Following are Christmas cards I managed to get made this year.

    

    


    

I wish a very merry little Christmas to one and all!
Be safe and be happy.
May the world have the happiest New Year ever!

Oh, Annie, how I love your style and creative mind! Receiving a hand made tag or card is something to be treasured and I sure hope those that are on that end love them as much as you love making them! We have saved our Christmas cards every single year since we married in 1983 (they are in zipped bags with years marked and yes, they pretty much fill a big tub), and someday I want to cut them up to make tags and cards. You're giving me the itch! Merry Christmas to you, sweet friend.

Oh my gosh Annie, these are all wonderful. I love the selvedge scarf on your snowman. When I zoom in at 300% I can see all the many details better and appreciate your excellent work and creativity even more. Have a Merry Christmas and Good Wishes for the New Year.

Your tags are amazing, and your cards are stunning with their matching envelopes. You have such attention to detail, too. I wish you a safe, joyous, healthy Christmas, dear Annie, and a great New Year, too!

You make miss my stamping time so much! When you ink the embossing folders are you able to do more than one card or tag with that inking? They are all so pretty. Merry Christmas 🎄

Obviously, I haven't been online much in December and missed these wonderful Christmas tags and cards. Love them all, but for some reason the simple star with Merry Christmas is my favorite! The background has such a serene and peaceful ambiance--kind of a "comfort and joy" feel!

It's a great idea to make some tags for Christmas just to hang round the house and look pretty. My favourite is the one with the deer and the snowman has a fun scarf.
The card with the orange star is just perfect - a clear clever design and a lovely branch for the star to hang on. I think the skellie is just fine and he looks as though he means it. Nice that he found a sprig of holly for his hat.

Really glad you found time to create before Christmas what a joy it is to create for the season, a gathering of loveliness each tag is as pretty as the next and your Christmas cards each with their own identity, I especially love the red & white snowflake one. It has a retro vibe with a vintage twist.. so beautiful.
I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and wish you all the best for the coming New Year.
Here's hoping 2022 will give us all the strength to continue on our creative journey.
Happy, healthy New Year Annie Hugs Tracey xx

Wow, you had been busy!!! Sorry I am so behind on commenting!!! Such a great idea, to not only emboss your tags but add the ink that way!!! I always forget that technique!! (I really should just keep a tag ring of techniques I like... haha one of these days. Been working on cleaning/finding my craft room....ugg I plan on doing a declutter and get rid of some extra, but it's so much work!)of course the cards and tags are all freaking awesome!!! You know I absolutely love mine!!! I'm also in aww of that 1st card! I would love a tutorial on it what colors did you use? Did you do the ink dipping on the matt technique? You always blow me away!! Also is that one of Tim's 3d stars? If so those tabs are freaking tiny how did you glue yours down without messing it up... I love how they look, but struggle with the itsy bitsy glue tabs
