But first who doesn't like blog candy?!  We will be giving away one November Card Kit to one lucky follower. All you have to do is be a SBC follower and leave a comment below. At the end of the hop, we will add up all the comments and randomly choose 1 winner. Here is our November Mini Card Kit...

Now for the crafty fun!

This year, we are going to feature Christmas tags so for SBC this is the 12 Days of Tags. Each day, we will showcase a tag or more using fun and easy techniques that we promise look good on any Christmas Package.

Today we are making a tag with using an embossing folder or stencils.

The first tag was made using a zig zag folder and core'dinations cardstock. With this paper you can sand down to get the cool embossing image to pop. To finish it off, I used a border punch at the bottom.

Now if you don;t have any folder or die/embossing machine like the Big Spot or Cuttle bug. You can still emboss on your tags. The one below was embossed on my score board. I flipped the cardstock over and scored at 1/4 and 1/2".

Next we have DT Barbara. She is the queen of multi-media/distressing.

My Tip: Color your tag first with distress inks or mists by applying them to your craft mat and spraying with water. Then lay your tag on top of the colors and swirl it around until the whole tag is colored. 

Hope to see you back tomorrow!
