Welcome to the first of 6 videos in the 24 tags of Christmas series! I’m using pups – there always seems to be a pup stamp set in the series, doesn’t there/?? This time it’s MFT’s Deck the Howls, and I used the shaker pouches with them; you can also add shaker goodies inside but I just id some layered pieces to create little dioramas!
Video
Watch the video below or click HERE to see it in HD on YouTube.
This little pup was a little too tall with his antlers on his head – so he made it onto a card instead. Complete with trees and a chimney from his rooftop perch! Stay tuned all week for bonus cards here on the blog that didn’t get done in time to put into the videos.
This is the little Vienna pup….lookin’ all happy!
The wiener dog got a little more snow in the air….notice on these that I only put snow in the background behind the pups, where I normally add snow in front too. I left it off on these to be sure the pups were still the focus, but technically the snow should be all over!
I colored this one like lil G. Who adores the snow. He’s never happier than if it’s up to his neck!
Little grey pup got all wrapped up in the decorating!
Hope you liked these…they were fun to make! I’ll have to send them in little protected packages to the winners since they’re a half inch thick. 🙂
24 Tags of Christmas 2018
Each year I make 24 tags – and give them away in a random drawing! This year I’ll be trying things a little differently; in the past I picked 2 people from YT comments and 2 from blog comments….but I found a lot of the YT folks never came to find out they won, and I had no idea how to reach them in many cases. So…this year, it’s all about blog comments where I can at least reach out to winners! So leave comments on each blog post this week for the opportunity to be in the drawing!

Hi Sandy,
I never made a diorama! These are just too cute and my little and nephews would love them as tags on their gifts. Must give it a try :o)
Thank you!
Love these!
Such a great idea with this tags. You are so inspiring.
I just l e the dog tag dioramas. I had forgotten all about making dioramas til this video which is terrific. Am going to try this. Thank you for sharing you brilliant ideas and talent.
Love these!!! As always you are full of inspiration! Thanks for sharing!!! 🙂
Thanks Sandy for the great inspiration! I will be ordering some of those Shaker Pouches!
Those tags are so cute. I love the card with the dog on the roof with the antenna that has ornaments hanging down. Really cute.
So cute. And so creative! But your projects always are. I had never heard of a Diorama – but then again, I grew up in Europe so we didn’t make them in school.
You are so talented. I can’t imagine how you continually can come up with all these new ideas. These tags are just durable.
So darn cute! And a wonderful idea for tags that can also hang on your tree all season
So adorable! I bet my daughters would love to try these too!
So adorable. I bet my daughters would love to try these too!
Love this idea of a diorama tag!! So cute!
Wow, wow, wow Sandy! The dimension on these is incredible! I thought they’d look kinda boring without shaker material inside, but they really don’t! Once you added the background to extend through the outer ring, and used dimensional adhesive to attach your foreground hill, when you added the plastic pouch and ring on top everything just came together! Even though the pouch is empty!
My mind is blown!
These are all SO cute, including the card! I am an animal lover and especially dogs! My dogs name is Max. He is a cockapoo and is quite comical, but also my lovebug! Can’t wait to see what you do next! 🙂
What fun tags, love the use of the shaker pouches!
I love your tag series!!! And these are so very cute!!! I also remember dioramas, they are fun to make!! Thanks!!!
These tag are so cute. Love the decorating dog and the one on the card. Thank you for the chance to win one of your wonderful creations.
Love these tags! Thank you for sharing!
Love these! So Cute.
I was debating on a design for my Christmas tags this year and these dioramas are perfect! Instead of dogs I’m using baby pictures of the recipients. Love this idea,thank you!
Ooooo – LOve the idea of using baby pics of the recipients! Thank you for that idea Donna!
What a Great Idea! These are so so Cute.
Adorable idea! I’m going to try this!
I am so excited that you are beginning your tag series. As always, these are adorable. Look forward to all the ones in the series.
I love watching your videos, Sandy. So creative and lots of fun. Thank you for sharing your awesome ideas.
I love these tags. I love to give gifts from my dog to other dogs so these are a great idea!
Your tags and card turned out so cute!! I’d have a difficult time leaving out shaker bits!! TFS
These are just way too adorable!
I loved the tags. Being a older stamper I do remember Diorama. I had forgotten all about these. It went very well with the style of the dogs. Like the sixties style. By the way loved your card. I was not able to buy this years dog stamps from mft. But like you say we all have a dog stamp in our stash. Thank you for sharing and now let me see if I can go and make one of these tags. Again thank you for your creativity, you are always spot on!!!
That dog on the card is Sooooooo cute <3
Love these tags and especially love the doggie on the card that did not fit in a tag! Really cool tag Idea!
