Twelve Tags of Christmas ... Wrap-Up


Hi everyone.  Back today with the winner of the Twelve Tags of Christmas event.  I have to say that it turned out better than I could have imagined.  So many fabulous entries from many different crafters.

Every tag is a winner to me ... each uniquely creative and I enjoyed visiting each and everyone one of you to find out how you made your tags.  Thank you for sharing your creative gift with all of us!! :)

Here's a few words from Judge Jeremy ...

"All of the entries for the 12 Tags of Christmas event are stunning.  I am especially impressed by how all of the participants have embraced and experimented with mixed media techniques.  With so many exceptional entries, it was certainly a challenge to select a winner for Mom's 12 Tags of Christmas Event.  Congratulations go to ... "

Top Tag

Linda (LindyLou's Tag 3)



"Linda's tag is a sophisticated twist on the traditional red, green and gold Christmas palette.  Her tag is well-blanced, perfectly composed, and exceeds the mixed media requirements with the layering of modelling film, frosted film, stain spray, chunky embossing powder, gemstones and organza ribbon.  Well done, Linda!!"

"Honourable mentions go to the following participants for their noteworthy entries ..."

Honourable Mentions
(in order of entry)

Bonnie (#5)



Nancy (#7)



Pamellia (#69)



Pam (#78)



Congratulations to everyone!! :)

Linda, please email me at stampingwithloll@gmail.com to claim your prize of $40 gift certificate to STAMPlorations!


Thanks to everyone that entered.  I hope you had fun making your mixed media Christmas tags.  There's so much amazing inspiration in the gallery and from my guest designers and hope that you'll find yourself wanting to make more tags for this upcoming holiday season.  As I mentioned before, I have created a board on Pinterest. It's a great visual to see all the tags displayed together ... hope you'll check it out.

I hope to be back next year with the "Twelve Tags of Christmas" 2015 edition! :)

What a delightful selection of winning tags, each one exceptionally gorgeous and innovative. Congratulations to the winner and highlight tags, and also to Judge Jeremy, who met his 'challenge' with a keen eye and design expertise. All the tags in the gallery are fabulous; an abundance of inspiration, indeed. An all-around awesome experience...so glad to have made my first steps into mixed media as a result of all the 'sparks' that emerged from this series. Already looking forward to making more tags for other occasions and seasons!
