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!

What a great idea for those shaker pouches! Gonna have to try it. MFT is one of my favorite companies. So cute. Thanks for sharing with us.
Love these so much! Really like the card❤️
Fun idea and I have decided send gift tags instead of a Christmas Cards this year.
Love Love Love your style of cards, I only have Spectrum noir markers ( bad choice since we cannot get refills here in Canada and no one will ship the ink) but I will eventually will get copies. I have learnt so much from you so far. I hope to be able to take your copic course one day when I get the makers.
Always love your channel!!!!! Never miss a video!!!! Wonderful as usual!!! And I think I could do this!!!!
OH MY WORD! The Vienna pup is THE cutest I love these and will be watching my emails for the rest of your tags as youtube isn’t reliable!
These tags are just adorable. Love the white dog with the lights wrapped around it.
I read the dog tag title several times, but the round shape didn’t compute in my head! I was thinking OWH military dog tags! It finally hit me that they were tags with dogs on them! I was very slow this morning.
So very awesome! Love the diorama tag idea! I got to skip dioramas, but I remember plenty of posters! Thanks for your lovely work!
This brings me back to my childhood, making dioramas! So adorable
I’ve recently started following you and enjoy all your videos. Can’t wait to see more tags.
The tags are so adorable and I love the movement they display. I have never done a diorama that I know of but my children did. The card is super cute. First time ever seeing you do this. Good job.
Ok, you were right in your video that other dog is super cute. I think I need to add to my doggy stamp collection!1 thank you so much for being such an inspiration. God Bless.
