To My Deers

It's another Pretty Palette color challenge and this week the colors just said Christmas. Well, maybe they didn't really say it, but I swear I heard it!

The colors we're working with are Red, Pink and Kraft. I chose to use the new Christmas Swag digi set and create a simple tag.

I colored the deer in Photoshop (the banner at the bottom was already colored red but you could change the color in Photoshop if you wanted to). I printed out the image and then die cut and mounted it on a piece of red. To the bottom of the kraft tag, I added a strip of pink chevron printed paper, a red polka dot strip and a little torn piece of pink striped washi tape. The 25 DEC section is a combination of pieces cut from a 6x6 paper pad by My Mind's Eye (and I stamped the DEC on the piece).

A little baker's twine at the top and my tag is ready to go on a gift this holiday!

I hope you'll come join us and play along with our colors. And be sure to check out this post from Lauren - she's giving a gift to you all - a free template that is soooo cute!

Gift Tags with MTME and the Pretty Palette Team

This week at My Time Made easy, the colors the Pretty Palette team is working with are Eggplant, Ivory and Rust. I immediately thought of pumpkin pie (and cookies) and another favorite I like to make this time of year, Blackberry Bread. So I made these gift tags to tie to some homemade goodies that I am going to bake for the upcoming holiday:

As you can see, I took a little liberty with the color pallette and added black, as well. (Adding a neutral color isn't cheating, is it?) The oven mitts (from the What's Cooking? MTME digi stamp set) were colored in Photoshop, printed and cut out. I cut the loop off the printed image and replaced it with a black twine loop for texture. The tags themselves are created with two different Nestabilities dies and layered together. The rust colored ribbon was stapled to the tag and a space was left to write the recipient's name.

The colors remind me a little of Halloween, but I think they will look great added to some yummy fall taste treats! I hope you will join us and play along this week! And be sure to check out the new products available at the MTME store - sooo adorable!
