The last of my 30 tags before Christmas a winter scene with DCWV

I know you are pretty busy today, so thank you for stopping by. My last tag is also one of my favorite :

I gathered different DCWV collection to create this tag : Christmas cardstock stack for the red and the gray glittery ones, Storybook Christmas glitter cardstock, and another winter stack for the sentiment.
The pretty tree are wood veneers by Studio Calico, covered with green glitter glue.

This is my last post about tags for this year. I hope I gave you ideas or inspiration for your own tags.
Don't forget to follow and comment before tomorrow, I will close the entry tonight.

I wish you a great Christmas Eve !

Fabric and star tag

I did have since few year a beautiful large Christmas ribbon transparent white with silver flourishes. It was large enough to cut a tag out of it !

Using fabric glue, I did adhere two tag by 3 edges, filled the inside with metallic red star confettis and close the tag with the same glue. I punch JOY out of red glitter cardstock (DCWV) and just add a little ribbon loop at the top. Simple and beautiful !

Tomorrow will be the last tag, and I think it's my favorite, so I know it will be Christmas Eve, but please to stop by just to take a look !

See you tomorrow I hope !

Ornament tag

Once again I will show my love of fussy cutting. If I wasn't in the middle of modeling my scraproom, I would have my Cricut on hand to make this one... But this machine is still in the box for the moment, so I'm stuck with my cutter...

I used an old Recollections Christmas pad with a Spellbinders ornament stamp :

I started by cutting 3 same size tags, and by stamping the ornament onto the first paper. I stamped on the brown paper at the exact same spot than the previous paper and cut it with a small border. I did repeat the cut on the third paper with a larger border. I use foam adhesive to adhere each layer.
A small bow and ribbon on the top and bottom edge and we have a new tag !

You still have few days to follow and comment before I randomly choose a winner...
See you tomorrow !

Round Christmas tag

Hello everyone !

I made a round tag for a change, with the Colorbok kit I previously used for the mini album tag.

The first burgundy circle was a punch-out embellishment from the kit, and I cut the other two circles with my Martha Stewart circle cutter. Few white poinsettias and Vintage photo ink (Tim Holtz), and this tag was done.

Four days left to follow and comment to enter my Christmas drawing ! The poll will be open after Christmas to let you vote for your favorite and enter for another prize !

Have a great Sunday !

Fun sparkle tag with kids

Ok. First day of vacations, but our trip is only on Monday... What if I make a tag my kids can reproduce ? So we need something fun, something with sparkle (I have girls), something quick... I got it ! Let's make a bling tag !

I use a gold Christmas card by DCWV to make the tag, and decorate it by cutting a tree into a green adhesive jeweled sheet. The red star came from the rockstar adhesive mirrors and the crystal edge are cut from another adhesive jeweled sheet. All of these sheets are made by DCWV. Some glitter alphas (Making Memories) for the sentiment.

My daughters love it ! I bet your kids will too !

See ya !

Last minute teachers and staff gifts : Chocolate truffle !

Yesterday was crazy ! A gazillion of things to do and it was the last day to prepare gifts for teachers ! So I went with the easiest : food... I cooked dark chocolate truffles on the morning, prepared them on the afternoon, and made boxes to put them in !
I did not make it fancy, but easy, quick and cute ! Take a look at the result, and I will give you (yes, for free, imagine that) my french and delicious recipe...

I made the boxes with the Winter and Christmas boxes stack by DCWV. They are cute, super easy and can be made in a snap ! You can find here a video tutorial to make some. I just add a Maya Road twine to close them and a white poinsettia (I Am Roses) for the festive part.

I just put the truffles into clear wrap before hiding them in the boxes. And now the recipe...
You will need :

- 200g of dark chocolate (7oz)
- 2 big spoon of sour cream (or half a cup of heavy whipping cream)
- 2 egg's yolks
- 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract
- 40g of powder sugar (1.4oz)
- 2 spoons of water
- optional : whiskey or orange extract or whatever you want
- dark chocolate cocoa powder

Melt the chocolate with water on low temperature until you get a smooth mixture. Beat the yolks with the rest of the ingredients, and add it to the chocolate. Cook on very low temperature for 5 additional minutes. Pour it in a bowl and place it in the fridge for at least one hour.
Using a spoon, take a small amount of the mixture and roll it with your hands into a ball. Roll this ball into the cocoa powder. Place the balls into a plate, and keep them in the fridge for few more hours.
DO NOT EAT ALL THEM IN ONCE !

Have fun while you can during this last day of school...
See you tomorrow !
