Tangled Up in Christmas! Day 1 + Giveaway


tangledinxmas

Hello friends! Danielle here, and welcome to Day 1 of our Tangled Up in Christmas Celebration! Myself, the design team, and a few special guests will be giving you 25 days of holiday inspiration!

I'm here today with a fun tag using a new Neat and Tangled digital stamp called Swirly Tag :)

 I kind of love it!  It's fun, festive, and simple! You could use for any occasion!  With the digital stamp purchase you get 4 high resolution files ("to", "from", the tag, and the assembled tag) in both .jpg and .png files. (Available for purchase HERE)  Admittedly, I am not one for digital stamps, but I have to say after creating this tag I'm singing a different tune!  Head to Nina's post HERE to see how easy it is to mass produce this tag for the holiday. It's easy peasy, but still gives such a personal touch!

And now (finally!) here's my tag...I went with a holiday feel  :)
Swirly Tag

This was so easy to make! I enlarged the digital image just a little in Photoshop and printed on some kraft cardstock.  I added some washi, ribbon, flair and twine and ta-da! So pretty!

To kick start this month of fun and festivities I thought a giveaway was in order!  Just be follower and leave a comment below to enter to win this lovely pack of holiday fun, I'd love to hear your favorite holiday tradition! Winner will be announced on Tuesday, December 4th.
Neat and Tangled Holiday Giveyway
Includes: Do Not Open Stamp, Hand dyed (by me ;) seam binding, Winter Seasonal Distress Inks,  Silver and Gold Twine, my new love, SEQUINS!
Can't wait for you to see what our special guest has for you tomorrow ;)

  9. What a fabulous tag! Love it!!

    Christmas is all about traditions for me. We have one where we give our daughter brand new festive pyjamas on Christmas Eve so that she can be comfy and cozy on Christmas morning. Then, there are the traditions of going and spending time with family. Those are my favourite. Christmas isn't complete until I spend Boxing Day at my parents' place with all of my siblings and nieces and nephews!

  13. Love the Swirly Tag! Very fun! Great job on the fun button embellishment too.
    My favorite tradition as a kid was to go to midnight mass with my family. Now, my favorite tradition is making about 4 or 5 kinds of cookies and sharing them with friends and neighbors.

  22. My favorite Christmas tradition is going to Midnight mass. Holiday tradition was baking dozens and dozens of cookies with the kids to give to all the single soldiers on our base. Now retired and not near a base - we all miss that part of the holiday. Nothing better than seeing smiles on the soldiers faces when they have something that reminds them of home when they have to spend the holidays working.

  47. What a useful digital image! Thanks :) I think my favorite holiday tradition would probably be my mom's ornament exchange that she's been having since 1987. Every year she has 24 friends make 24 handmade ornaments and they get together the last Thursday in November to exchange, visit, make more ornaments, and eat homemade desserts. I've been doing it for 9 years now since I got married.
