Christmas tag entry

Good morning everyone! I was blog hopping last night and found the challenge at Top Tip Tuesday, so I decided to make a tag to add to my Christmas stash. I have a TON of these manilla tags and thought I should use them!!!  This image is a digi but I have NO idea which company makes her - if you know, please let me know so I can give proper credit!!!  THANKS! I think she is gorgeous!!!

My TIP for this challenge is to make your ribbon match your project, use Ranger Distress markers to colour the crinkle seam binding.  Spritz with water, crumple up and hold with tweezers, then use your heat gun to dry it.  Be careful you don't hold it in one place too long or you will burn it!!!

I am also entering this into Crazy Hazelnut's Christmas challenge - which is RIBBONS and Totally Gorjuss which is PINK!

Going to try to clean the house today & put away laundry (my LEAST favourite job in the world!) - since it is cold and yucky outside!!!! Enjoy what's left of the weekend!!!
Hugs,
Chris

Simon Says TAG IT!

This week, our challenge for you is  TAG IT!!!  
Use a tag, make a tag, add a tag....as long as it has a TAG on it, in it, etc. it will qualify!!!  Have fun with it, I DID!!!!

Here is my project:

 AND here is a close up of my tag:

 I got the popcorn container template from the WWW - I just spent about 30 min. looking for it, and can't find it - sorry! BUT if you Google "popcorn container template" you will get a ton, some decorated, some not, some are really small.....but this one is perfect!!! If you REALLY want it, email me and I will look harder!!!

I printed it on white cardstock and added red stripes to make it look like an old fashioned popcorn container.

I have used a Manila Tag - Tim Holtz  and I used Tim Holtz - At the Movies stamp set

The ink colours I used for stamping and distressing are:  


Walnut Stain Distress Ink
Broken China Distress Ink
Black Soot Distress Ink
Fired Brick Distress Ink

And finally, the Fresh Seasoned Popcorn image is heat embossed with Fired Brick Distress Embossing Powder  and popped up on the tag.  I attached the tag to the tub with a piece of twine, then I ate all the popcorn!!! LOL

Now...... head to the Simon Says Stamp Challenge blog to check out all the gorgeous creations from our FANTABULOUS Design Team!!!!
