2017 Tim Holtz Holiday Inspiration Series- Snowglobe Tag Set

Hi sweet friends, and happy Wednesday! It is a happy and busy week, with Thanksgiving right around the corner. And today is my birthday, too! Both my kiddos arrived home last night for the holiday weekend, so I am in full celebration mode already. And I am so excited to be here to share another holiday project from the 2017 Tim Holtz Holiday Inspiration Series with you. Thank you so much for stopping by and sharing a few moments here with me on the blog today!

I love putting together pretty gift packaging for the holidays, and one of my favorite holiday projects is making handmade tags. Tags are a perfect way to top off all those gift boxes and bags that come with the holidays, and they make a wonderful small gift for friends and family, too. This year, I’ve combined a few of my favorite Tim Holtz die sets to make my tags for the season, in a snowy village theme that I adore.

Don’t you just love the detail of those tiny village houses? They are from the new Snowglobe #2 Thinlits die set, part of the new 2017 Tim Holtz and Sizzix holiday release. Every individual section to these buildings have their own separate die, making it so easy to piece and layer the dwellings in a huge array of different color combos. And the tiny stars and moon and snowy hillside pieces come with the set, too. Talk about endless design possibilities.

For my tags, I created small village scenes nestled onto tags die cut from the new Gift Tags Thinlits die set. I began by adding a variety of Distress ink colors onto watercolor paper. Snowbanks were die cut from white cardstock using the Snowglobe #2 set, painted with Picket Fence Distress paint, and sprinkled with Clear Rock Candy Distress Glitter. I adhered the snowbanks to the watercolored paper, and then die cut the shapes with the Gift Tag set so that the snowy bottoms of the shapes were perfectly die cut with the rest of the tag. Added the tiny village pieces, and then layered the small tags onto larger ovals, die cut from an older favorite of mine, the Stitched Ovals die set.

The tops of the tags were tied with ribbon and rustic natural twine. And finally, I added a simple stamped sentiment and bit of die cut greenery to finish.

I hope my friends in the states have a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday, surrounded by good food, good friends, and the love of family! Thanks for stopping by!
