Twelve Tags of Christmas - Friday, December 16th - Day 12

Sadly, Friday is the last day in the Twelve Tags of Christmas event.  Carolyn designed this elegant tag and she’ll be in the store on Friday, December 16^th to show you how to make it. 

While you are at the store to make this tag be sure to take advantage of our Twelve Days of Christmas daily promotion.  On Friday when you purchase any two pieces of cardstock you will get to select a free piece of cardstock from a selection of beautiful paper.  This promotion is limited to stock on hand.  Also for every $10 pretax you spend, you get one entry for the big grand prize drawing.  The Twelve Days of Christmas runs through Thursday, December 22nd.  Follow our blog or Facebook to see the daily promotion. 

To create Carolyn’s tag, cut out a 3.4”x 4.4” rectangle from watercolor paper using Stitched Rectangle Layers #30009 Memory Box.  Score so it’ll fold to 3.4”x 2.2”.  Place washi tape or mask on the score line to protect half of the tag.  With Peeled Paint Distress Crayon lightly color around the edge of exposed watercolor paper. Dampen your finger and blend the crayon line to create a border.  Stamp Impression Obsession "Berries", (F8766), with Shabby Shutters Distress Ink several times.

Cut a 1.75”x 3”border with Stitched Rectangle Trimmings (#30082) from Red Lacquer Stardream cardstock.  Cut the Impression Obsession "Peace" die (DIE226-A) from the inside small cardstock rectangle.  Glue the border and word Peace over the stamped berries.  Fill in the berries with Glossy Accents or a glitter pen.

The Art ‘n Soul staff will provide all the materials you need to make each day’s tag.  The cost to you is a donation of non-perishable food or $1 (or more if you would like) for each tag you make.  All donations go directly to the Thurston County Food Bank.  We really appreciate your support to this great community program.  We look forward to seeing you in the store this month to thank you in person.

Note: We got our Imagine Crafts order in and we now have the empty pico bottles that are so good for glue. We also have Pico embellishers in white, black, gold, silver and red.
