Welcome to the 24 tags of Christmas series for 2015! It’s Day Two with another four tags – check out yesterday’s watercoloring!
Copic on Wood
I’ve been wanting to play with this wood paper for quite some time – and I was delighted to see that my Copic markers worked on it! I’ll be experimenting with more elaborate images in the future. Check out the video below, or click HERE to see it in HD on YouTube!
These tags would be so perfect to attach to a plate of Christmas cookies and deliver to neighbors. What? You don’t know your neighbors? Well last holiday season I decided to change that in my own life…I baked cookies and made plates of them, then attached handmade tags. Delivered to stunned neighbors! One even invited me in for a cup of cider. Give it a go and see if you can break the ice with people living down the street!
Giveaway
Handmade is the best kind of giveaway! Each year I give away all of the tags made in the series – so there will be 24 winners! To sweeten the pot, I am giving a financial donation to 24 charities in the name of each of the winners – so they’re going to get to pick which charity they love most. To qualify to win, leave a comment on this post with YOUR favorite charity, and a comment on the YT video each day all week. I’ll pick 12 from blog comments and 12 from YouTube comments, and announce them all on Sunday the 15th!

Great tags. It is so important to know your neighbors. I’m sure they will be looking for you again this year.
You are so amazing to send to our charities; appreciate it so much. As a carpenter, hubby would love to see these wooden tags; wonderful job on them; gotta try it.

The wood paper is new to me. Glad to see how it works. Loved the tags. My charity is Children, Inc. TFS
Love your tags. I watched all of them last year and will watch all this year. I would love to see money go to a breast cancer organization as I have been battling that for over 13 years and still fighting.
love these wooden tags … I contribute to Unbound a charity where you sponsor a child for health care and educational needs, etc.
These tags are so warm and cozy looking and make me think of baking and hot apple cider! I have never even thought to stamp and color on wood and am going to have to check these out. Of course, my coloring isn’t going to be as amazing as yours but I’m trying not to let that intimidate me! My favorite charity is the Bay Area Rescue Mission in Richmond, CA

Guess my original comment didn’t post. So I’ll try again! And if I win, my charity is SICSA, The Society for the Improvement and Conditions of Stray Animals, in Dayton, Ohio.
These are so attractive and so easy to make! I really like the idea of the wood paper and will be giving it a try. I have to name two charities (sorry!) that are special to me:one is Outreach International, which helps communities around the world create their own solutions to problems of hunger, finding clean water, shelter, health, and education; the other is Canine Companions for Independence, a great organization that raises, trains and provides fantastic service dogs.
I love these tags. I have never seen the wood paper before. I will be trying this very soon. They are beautiful Sandy as are you! Merry Christmas
Love these tags! Great use of the wood paper. Favorite charity is Compassion International. They work at making children’s lives better all over the world.
Those tags are really nice. Looks like a lot of fun to paint on wood. My favorite charity is the German Shepherd Rescue of Orange County. They are located in California and save many lives each year. We got our dog from them and he is wonderful! Thank you.
You’re so awesome…willing to give to someone else’s favorite….mine is Days for Girls International. Giving girls back days of education, dignity and health
I’ve never used wood veneer before and look forward to trying it. Your tags are so cute Sandy and that stamp set is adorable. Thanks for the ideas on personalizing them.
Forgot to mention my charity is “Pencil for Kids”.
It will be fun to try the Copics on wood … your tags turned out great! My charity is the Arthritis Foundation.
Love this idea of using the wood paper. My favorite charity is The American Cancer Society. I recently had a dear friend pass away from lung cancer after a year long fight. Thanks so much for your generosity!
Really love the look on the wood – it’s perfect and my favorite charity is the local SPCA
Your wooden tags are gorgeous! I really enjoyed your video! My favourite charity is the local SPCA. Thank you!
How awesome! I have never seen the wood sheets but they’re intriguing! Nice coloring…
Wood paper so cool would like to find that at my craft stores, love the tag. My Charity is American Lung Assoc.
my Mother passed this year due to lung disease.
Nice, never knew you could do wood! My charity is St. Judes Hospital.
I was just talking last night about how wood embellishments are the new in thing. Funny to see you use a wood paper today. It looks beautiful and is a great way to use this supply!
Thanks for the gift tag tutorial, Sandy. Favorite charity is Step by Step Family Support Center in Puyallup, WA.
Adorable wooden tags! I never thought we could color with Copics on wood veneer. This is fabulous and opens up so many new project ideas! TFS xoxo, Kristina
oh and my charity of choice is the Atlanta Pet Rescue and Shelter. 🙂
Sandy you are such a talented and giving person. Loving the tag series again this year. My favorite charity is Friends of Anne Arundel County Animal Control.
Wonderful! I always learn something new when i watch.Second chari would be American Cancer Socie .
I’m in such a “house/home” stamp mode lately so your tags really sung to me! I haven’t tried coloring with copics on wood, either, but now it’s on my list of things to try. Great job as always, Sandy!
I like the warmth of wood, the stamp you chose is a perfect pairing, and your coloring is beautiful as always. Wonderful tags!
Oh wow – I have some wood. I might have to try this! Very pretty!!!My second charity would be one that rescuse animals. I would have to look up an exact name.
Those look wonderful! I have not tried coloring on wood, probably because I am afraid if I mess up on the stamping then I would ruin the piece. Will have to try again though, thank you!
Love your tags…beautiful colors and design. The Copic on wood looks really neat.
Love your tags. My favorite charity is American Cancer Society.
I know your middle name now —- Sandy Out-of-the-Box Allnock. What a great name you are living up to and great idea to use the wood paper! The Charity that I choose is Ronald McDonald House house in Gainesville, Florida. Ronald began them and doe provide support but they rely on donation to complete their mission of providing food and housing to families with a child that is hospitalized. Living in a remote area, and missing work to be with a child, and then leaving a family behind to stay with the child and having to eat out and get a motel is beyond normal challenges. The charity is worthwhile to any family needing this support.
Love the wood who knew……My favorite charity is Toys for Tots especially at Christmas. My husband can’t imagine a Christmas without toys……….
This tag is so amazing, I love the idea of coloring on wood with markers! My favorite charity would have to be one for hearing impaired children, because I am partially hearing impaired too. 🙂
Love the tags – my favorite charity is ABC of NC Child Development Center because their vision is to support all people living with autism spectrum disorder reach their full potential in a world where they are valued, accepted, and included. It’s near and dear to me because my oldest is on the autism spectrum.
Wow!!! These are so awesome. I love the wood look. My favorite charity is Second Chance Animal Shelter.
This is a interesting technique, I’m not sure if Iwill ever use it but at least if I want to I know where I’ve learned it. Thank you for all of your instructions.
My favorite charity is the Huntington disease society. My mom suffers with this horrible disease and I have seen personally how it effects the life’s of those who have it and those around them. They need all the support they can get to find a cure.
These are great! I love the contrast of the bright red sentiment against the wood. Thank you Sandy.
Donna

My charity of choice is American Cancer Society.
