Snowman Christmas Tags for Merry Little Christmas Challenge #67 on the 1st of March 2026

Hi All!

I still can't believe that it is the beginning of March 2026, how has January and February disappeared so quickly?!
Anyway, for challenge #67 for March/April 2026 of the Merry Little Christmas Challenge Blog, I made a couple of tags using some die cuts and images that I had already coloured from La-La Land Crafts!

Here are my tags for this month:

Then each tag individually:

All of the products used on these tags are actually already released in the La-La Land Crafts Shop, so the products are:

• Let It Snow Clear Stamp Set - snowmen and sentiment
• Jolly Penguins Clear Stamp Set - other sentiment
• Winter Forest Paper Pack
• Tall Christmas Trees Die
• Scalloped Tags Die
• Stitched Ribbon Die
• Colour-Me Enamel Dots

The snowmen were stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink on to X-Press It Blending card and coloured with the Copics (I have forgotten which!) The images were fussy cut and attached to the tags with foam tape.

I have used the glittery enamel dots.

The sentiments were stamped using Nautical Blue Memento ink, then distressed on the edges with my scissors. I have finished the tags with twine from my stash.

Christmas Gift Tags

Here are some Christmas Gift Tags I made using Copic-coloured Sunny Christmas Marci and one of the new La-La Land Crafts Christmas 2012 Stamps: Christmas Elf Marci.

The red gift tags are from my stash (I think I bought them at a craft fair last year).

The sentiments: "Deck the Halls" and "Merry Christmas" are adhesive ribbon from Jo-Ann Essentials.

Both Sunny Christmas Marci and Christmas Elf Marci are fussy cut and attached with pop dots. The gift tag is finished with Baker's Twine from KoKoVanilla

Sunny Christmas Marci was coloured pretty much the same as previous, click here for the link to the colours used.

Christmas Elf Marci was coloured as follows:

• skin: E000, E00, E02, Lipstick Spica (lips)
• hair: E31, E33, E35, clear Spica
• hat and dress: R20, R22, R27, YG00, YG03, YG17, Y17, YR04, clear Spica (red dots)
• tights and shoes: R20, R22, R27, YG00, YG03, YG17, YR04, clear Spica (buckles)

New Red and Green Christmas Tags

Here are some photos of my latest project:

I stamped in silver ink "a very merry christmas to you" in the shape of a Christmas Tree and then "to:" and "from:" on the other side, also in silver ink.
I have been working on these over a few weeks, as I was trying to decide on the fibre for the string part. Eventually I decided on baker's twine, red and white, or green and white, which I purchased from one of my favourite Etsy shops based here in Melbourne: koko vanilla designs.
They look great with the baker's twine!
The actual tags are from Creative Dreams - Aby and I bought them when we were at a Scrapbooking Fair.
Five of the green tags and five of the red tags are for sale in my etsy shop: JemLou Productions. Link to listing to come.
