Last year, we (SBC) did the one sheet wonder cards and were able to make 12 Christmas cards using various techniques. You can find the You Tube videos for those on our channel HERE.

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 stamping. Two very popular stamp techs are using clean/rubber stamps and digital stamps. There are pros and cons to both. There are many different ways to color you image.

This first one has both stamps. 
A clear HO stamp and a Santa Digital Stamp from My Besties. Santa was colored with Spectrum Nior Markers and Stickles 

This Santa image and HO! is made by Mark's Finest Paper and Stamp. I colored using the markers again with a Viva Pearl Pen ( a must have!!!)

The last tag is made by a darling image by Mark's Finest Paper and Stamp. I colored using Prismacolor pencils and a Blender pen. I also use a Marvy fine tip pen for the doodle lines along the side and bottom. ( I have to admit, I think this is my favorite of the bunch so far that I have done, lol)

Now for our awesome DT stamps:

DT Teresa: Fresh and Renewed

DT Barbara

My Tip: Mount your cut out stamped shapes with pop dots to achieve a dimensional effect.
