Advent Calendar Tag & Coordinating Card, Day 24 & full reveal

I was inspired to create a new Advent Calendar this year.

I've made 24 numbered tags that I'm displaying on an old window that

will hang on my kitchen wall.

For each tag, I also have a card to share that I made, inspired by the tag.

(You can see my previous tags & cards here.)

And today, I'm sharing the last tag... Day 24, as well as all of the tags displayed on the window.

For my tag, I die-cut some gorgeous Teresa Collins patterned paper using

my PTI Shaker Shapes: Star dies.

I inked the smaller gold star with Delicata Golden Glitz ink.

The numbers were diecut using PTI's Book Print Number dies.

For my coordinating tag, I used the same patterned paper.

I used the same star dies, too, and impressed the patterned paper with them.

Then I die-cut three "shine" words, two from white cardstock and the

third from some white cardstock that I inked up using Delicata Golden Glitz ink.

I adhered these together and then to my card.

The sentiment is from PTI's Sparkle & Shine: Holiday Additions stamp set.

And, now that I've shared all 24 tags, I wanted to show you how they look all together

on the old window I've hung them on...

Papertrey Ink November Blog Hop

It's the 25th, which means that there is one month left until Christmas!

Have you started your shopping yet?

(I am thrilled to say that I got mine done last week, thanks to Amazon. :)  )

It also means that today is the Papertrey Ink Blog Hop.  :)

This month's challenge is "snow".
And while my hope had been to make the snow-themed ornaments
that I'm making for my Christmas place-settings this year, time was not on my side.
But, since I still wanted to participate in the hop, I decided to share Day 8 of my
Advent Calendar Tag & coordinating card, since they are both snow-themed.

(I was inspired to create a new Advent Calendar this year.

I've made 24 numbered tags that I'm displaying on an old window that will hang on my kitchen wall.

For each tag, I also have a card to share that I made, inspired by the tag.

For my card though, I used the Shaker Shapes: Circle dies.

I stamped my sentiment using Mama Elephant's Season's Greetings stamp set.

And, before I go, Sage also has a card to share that she made for the hop.

It was her friend's birthday, so Sage made this card for her.

She stamped the squirrel (from PTI's Nuts for You stamp set) and diecut him

with the coordinating die, before colouring him in.

The scarf is from Simon Says Stamp's Stylish Simon, the sentiment is SSS, as well, which 

I helped her stamp in Versamark and heat emboss in white.

Sage used Pretty Pink Posh's Stitched Border 1 Die to create the snowbanks.

I drew the present by hand. ;)

 

Sage is also linking her card up to Emily Leiphart's Squirrelfest Challenge & Giveaway.
