Newton’s Nook – 25 Days of Christmas Tags

Card tutorial 1 Minute

Hello everyone! I’m fortunate enough to take part in the 25 Days of Christmas Tags celebration with 3 companies this year! Head to Tracey’s post HERE to see the details of the celebration and how you can enter to win incredible prizes!

First off we’re staring with Newton’s Nook! I had so much fun creating this sweet little tag with one of my very favorite Newton’s Nook images – Penguin Pile.

To create my tag, I started by stamping and coloring the Penguin Pile image with my copics. Then I used the coordinating dies to cut them out. Next, I wanted a different shape for my tag so I pulled out the Circle Frames and cut the middle size out from green cardstock twice. I used the Snowfall stencil with some white glitter glitz gel on one green circle and let it dry. Once it was dry I glued the 2 green circles together. I pulled out one of the hole reinforcer dies from the Fancy Edges Tag set and cut it from white. I used it to punch a hole in the green circles and adhered the reinforcer with liquid glue.

I pulled out the Banner Trio dies and cut the rounded banner from white and stamped a sentiment from the Christmas Roundabout on it. Then I colored the open letters with the same colors as my penguins. The banner is adhered with liquid glue and the penguins were popped up with foam squares.

I threaded some red jute twine through the hole, glued a smaller white circle to the back so I had a place to write to and from and moved on to finishing touches.

With the background being wonderfully glittery, I just added glossy accents to the penguins and JOY on the sentiment banner.

I am having a blast making little tags again this year. Smaller area to work with and different shapes too! A change of pace is good for creative thinking.

I appreciate you sharing your time with me. Have a fabulous day!

  12. The penguins are really cute. Love that they are stacked one behind the other. Great idea. I’m making some fall cards right now and I’m going to use that idea for placing pumpkins.
