Tim Holtz 12 Tags of Christmas, Day 10!

Pin It

In my continuing mission to complete Tim Holtz's 12 Tags of Christmas 2011 before the calendar turns over to 2012, I have Number 10 right here, all done up and ready to hang on the staircase banister with the sparkly lights and snowman lanterns. Did you try this technique? Is the packing tape transfer cool, or what?! ESPECIALLY when you use shiny foil tape on the back. Okay, so it's not easy to photograph, but it's sure eye-catching in real life, yes?

I used little Christmas girl images from the Artchix Studio "Merry Christmas" Collage Sheet (they have such cool stuff!), and teeny little presents are table confetti from Pier 1. I destroyed a couple of images before I really got the hang of this, and finally figured out that if I stick the edge of the packing tape to my table so it doesn't shift around, it's much easier to get that little photo lined up correctly. A tiny "eureka," but I'll take all the eurekas I can get!

I think this year's 12 Tags has been the best yet, and I'm looking forward to completing the final two tags. Hope you're all having a blast, too!

Hugs,
Linda
