Advent Calendar Extravaganza with Taheerah Atchia

Advent Calendar Extravaganza is -the- festive event of the season! This ‘hop with a twist’ was dreamed up by Taheerah Atchia and features surprise destinations each day! Joining in the fun with Taheerah are ONE HUNDRED special guests – each serving up some fantastic Christmas inspiration! Just like an Advent Calendar, you’ll never know where you’re going to be visiting next until you ‘open the door’!

I’ve created a couple of fun Santa tags for today’s post.

For the first tag, I used the Paper Layering Santa die. But instead of showing off the “layering”, I added a bunch of dimension to it using a Pentart Snow Pen and a glittering it up with shimmery Stickles. The coloring was done with my Copics. I hand-trimmed around the top Santa, then used the frame from the die set to cut a layer to go behind. The “to” and “from” from Christmas Messages were added inside.

The second tag features one of my favorite teeny tiny stamps from the Winter Collection – Santa’s Sleigh. It was designed to pair the the Destination stamps, but I think it makes a super cute background when stamped repeatedly! I colored the sleighs with my Copics, and then die cut with the Tag Infinity dies, layering it with a larger Kraft tag. The “ho ho ho” message is also from Christmas Messages, and the “to” and “from” are between the two tag layers on this one as well.

I love the tags and the Santa is so cute,

Lisa G.,

The santas are darling! I just got a snow pen, but haven’t used it yet. I was only thinking of using it on housetops & such, thanks for the idea of using it on santa!

Karen,

Great tags! The texture on Santa is so great!

Wanda Reynolds,

Your tags are great!

Kelly C,

Your Santas are adorable with the snow pen details.
