This - Deck the halls set is all about ornaments. Various sizes and shapes of the ornaments are perfect to use for card as well as tags. They are fun to water color. I have white embossed the ornaments, color loosely with water colors and fussy cut! Sentiment is from Merry Christmas set ( beautiful sentiments in bold fonts). Pine branches are from an old stamp set (Christmas Blessings) .

I also made these two cute tags with the same set.

Next, I am using Driving Home for Christmas set. 

This is a fun stamp set.  I decided to make a slider card with it. I started with stamping, coloring and fussy cutting car, wagon and stack of gifts. I cut inside parts of car windows too and backed it with clear acetate so when the car slides, the background and trees are visible from the window. , I stamped and embossed birch tree trunks from Wise Owl set. Painted the background with cracked pistachio and peacock feathers distress inks. I also painted the tree trunks using hickory smoke distress ink. Glued some white glitter for the snow. Added sentiment and white acrylic paint's splatter to finish it off.

Here is a tiny video to see it in action.

I had few wood slice coasters from my garden tree. I stamped on them with archival ink and colored using tombow brush markers. There are scopes for improvement but not bad for the first try.  The trees are from an old stamp set.

That is all for today! I will be posting more from these stamp sets as I start preparing for this years Christmas cards. So keep watching this space.

The tags below are made on actual wood Veneer  skin. Check on right. I am hoarding these for many years. They are the samples which I got when we did our home interior. They are thin and easy to cut with dies.

On the dark one, I have embossed it in gold and added some detail with colored pencils. Second one is stamped with StaZon and colored using pencils.

I am sharing a tag I created using some cardboard and acrylic paints and glitter.

The die is spellbinder and text stamp on cup is hero arts news print. I did not have the sentiment so I free hand wrote it. But, today, I came to know that Verve stamp has some free download which has same sentiment. You can check it HERE! Isn't that amazing?

A close up to see it all shiny and glittery !
