Heartfelt Creations November Alumni Hop: Sparkling Poinsettia Christmas Tag

Hello, Friends!  It’s time to hop with the Heartfelt Creations Alumni Design team.  I’m first in line this month, and I’m feeling Christmassy.  So I created a Sparkling Poinsettia Christmas Tag to share with you today.

sparkling-poinsettia-christmas-tag-for-hc-hop-by-kathy-clement-photo-2The base is a standard manila tag covered with the newsprint paper in the Sparkling Poinsettia collection.  I stamped 3 large poinsettia with Archival Library Green ink, then heat embossed with clear powder.  The flowers were stamped plain white cardstock.

sparkling-poinsettia-christmas-tag-for-hc-hop-by-kathy-clement-photo-6I added various red Distress inks to the die cut flowers using a sponge dauber.  Then the petals were spritzed with a little water to let the ink blend.  I shaped the flowers while they were damp, using the large ball stylus from the Deluxe Flower Shaping Tool Kit.  Next, I stacked the layers together with hot glue.  There are 2 large layers and one medium layer on my focal flower.  The other large flower was cut in half and tucked beneath to add even more fullness to the flower cluster.

    You’re creations are so beautiful. I hope to make something as pretty soon. So far my flowers are looking rather lame, but I am going to get it eventually.

      Hi, Ruth! Keep on practicing! You’ll get better and better the more you work at it. Be sure to watch Emma Lou’s video tutorials on YouTube! They are excellent!

    This is a wonderful tag and I enjoyed seeing the shimmer paint upon it. I didn’t know it could do that. Thank you for sharing such a wonderful gift that you crafted for someone special. Liz Ford

      I’m still learning, too, Sandra. We all are. That’s the wonderful think about creativity: there’s always something new to discover and master!

    Beautiful!!! Now would you display this or give it to someone as a ‘card’ ? I’m never sure what to do with tags.

    1. kathycNC Post author

      Hi, Helen! I do both. Tags make great little pieces of home decor when tucked into a mantel display or hung from a cabinet knob. People also love to receive them in lieu of cards. They are also fun to add to a holiday plate of cookies or quick bread. People are always happy to receive something that’s handmade with love.

    So many great inspirations you made with the Sparkling Poinsettia. Oh, I do envy you. This is one collection I don’t own. But I’m going to try to make some poinsettia with sunflower dies. Thanks for your hard work.

    Well my friend, you know how I feel about everything you create! I’m a huge fan of your tags and a Christmas tag is just right up my alley. Love that beautiful poinsettia!

    Oh. My. Goodness!! How darling is this tag?! I love every bit of it Kathy. From the colours chosen, to the ribbon, the stag and … ohhh that wonderful little tree. I shall have to go searching for those because so far, (in the past about 8 years) I haven’t found any at all, here in the UK. (But I haven’t looked for them last year of this – so I’ll go and search).

    LOVE this Kathy. Truly GREAT make!
    love ~ Cobs. x
