Welcome to the 24 tags of Christmas series for 2015! Are you enjoying this year’s series as much as last year?
This set from Ellen Hutson, designed by BestLaugherOnYouTube Julie Ebersole, is the perfect set for tags – especially for gifts from Santa, or for me – gifts I’m giving from Secret Santa! I decided to try something I haven’t ever done before – create a scene, but do so with embossing, and not with any coloring. Eeep! What!

While working on these tags, I felt like saying “Look ma! No coloring!” But I suppose coloring with embossing powder is a form of coloring, right?

Love the tags and those little reindeers
Great tags love the embossing favorite charity transverse myelitis
So clever! Love how you created the roof tops just using the edge of the ink pad and then added the snow. Super cute! 🙂
Your embossing looks amazing – I like how you made the snow and I must remember to do that – I have some white enamel accents and I don’t think I’ve ever used it! Thanks for the inspiration!
I keep forgetting to add my favorite charity – it’s the local SPCA!
Beautiful! I love all the embossing.
Very nice!! I enjoy watching your copic coloring. Do you do classes besides You-Tube?
These are so cute! I love embossing – it turns out much better than my coloring. Favorite charity is Compassion International.
Sandy, you are knocking them out of the park – and no coloring! You are so versatile. 🙂 Way to think out of the box by using the corner of the Versamark pad! My charity would be either The Truth 365 (or its primary sponsor, “Arms Wide Open Childhood Cancer Foundation.”) Both are registered 501(c)(3) public charities, and 100% goes to childhood cancer research.
Love these embossed scene tags! Thanks for the great embossing tips too. One of my favorite charities is Mobile Loaves and Fishes.
Great post, as usual! My charity is Step by Step in Puyallup, WA.
Just delightful! AMerican Cancer Society!
Love the tags …. embossing is one of my favorite techniques! (Arthritis Foundation)
These are so fun! Thanks for sharing your wonderful ideas! (Make a Wish Foundation)
The Ronald McDonald House in Gainesville, Florida is my charity of choice for this. Love your icicles and snowy roof.
My favorite charity is Days for Girls. Days for Girls believes that feminine hygiene shouldn’t stand in the way of anything any girl sets her mind to.
Every tag design you make is so unique and all are gorgeous! I love that sleight and reindeer flying across the sky. My favorite charity is the Bay Area Rescue Mission in Richmond, CA
Hello Sandy! I am new around here. I started following you on Periscope a few weeks ago and I love watching your scopes. I am not a paper crafter but it is tempting watching you use all the stamps, I am impressed with all the ideas that you come up with. I LOVE all the tags you have created here and embossing powder is so cool. The charity that is near and dear to my heart is Hospice Hawaii where I work as an RN. We are a small non-profit serving the people of Ohau, Lanai, and Molokai.
Beautiful ! I loved idea of embossing whole piece!
Beautiful tags! I think my actual favorite is the black shimmer paper!
I like how organic you are with your products. ..never would have used the versamark pad like that. Very cool. My charity is The Sickle Cell Diease Foundation. Thank you.
These tags are wonderful, and the black one really sings to me. Thank you for sharing everything that you do, Sandy!
Very striking! It’s fun to mix things up and do different techniques, I will definitely try this one. Thanks so much.
Beautiful tags! I love the embossed look, but always struggle with being a perfectionist with the stray powder spots! (My favorite charity is Heifer International.)
Sandy, the tags are so cute, but I loved the Elf tags and immediately ordered the stamps and dies from Ellen Hutson yesterday – I really appreciate you sharing you enormous talent with all of us.
Great way to make tags and helpful tips too. My charity is Children, Inc. TFS
Love the santa sleigh. I was looking for something like it.
I love these tags and how you used the versamark pad to make the house. My favorite charity is the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. This one is close to my heart as I was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s Follicular lymphoma in 2011, plus I have several friends who’s children who are now adults had leukemia as children.
Totally not stamping related, but I love your fingernails! What a pretty color!
thanks for enabling!
Those tags are beautiful. Great ideas. My favorite charity is the German Shepherd Rescue of Orange County. They are located in California and do great work saving lives. Thank you.
It’s absolutely beautiful! I wish I could do stuff like this. I like charities that go toward helping animals.
Gorgeous tags! Love the tip for using enamel accents and Copic Opaque White for snow. My favorite charity is We Care, a local organization which supplies food, clothing and Christmas gifts to the less fortunate in the surrounding communities.
These are so much fun. Love casing you. I look like I know what I’m doing. Thank you for your lessons. You brighten my life everyday. Marley’s Mutts is my charity. He rescues the unreachable and they have in turn rescued him.
Nice tags. Can’t wait to see the video.
I had a scheduling oops, it’s live now!
Fabulous tags! Great to make in bulk for the seniors at the center I visit with my pet therapy dog! My favorite charity is Atlanta Pet Rescue and Shelter. TFS Hugs, Kristina
Sandy, it says the video is private and will not load. I never had this problem before. I love your videos

Nice tags. I like the “HO3.” Cute. My charity is anysoldier.com.
May I join the “Private” Club, so that I may join in the FUN….hahaha (still “private” at my end, and I don’t have a cell to blame it on! yuk yuk…..)smiles

LOVE THESE TAGS! My 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.
Love the tags, but for some reason I can’t watch the video. It appears to be marked private.
I had a scheduling oops, it’s live now!
Hi Sandy, how are you? The video says “private” this morning. haha
Is there a problem with the video? I always look forward to yours and water them faithfully, now it says private–to whom.
I had a scheduling oops, it’s live now!
Beautiful. My favorite charity is Second Chance Animal Shelter.
the video is marked private for me as well. Am on a smart device if that matters.

Beautiful tags Sandy. Couldn’t watch the video as it says it is private! ???

The Santa with reindeer is my favorite! You have such great ideas on how to put the scenes together! Great job! My favorite charities are any that help with cancer research.
Love the tags. And love that you “channeled” Julie. She does have the best laugh & giggle I’ve ever heard.
I love the sleigh and reindeer! Thank you so much for all the time, energy and heart you’ve poured into the tag project. It’s so FUN!
