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!

So cute Sandy!!
OMG….so stinkin cute, Sandy! I’ve never made a diorama before and you’ve convinced me to give this tag a go. I also adore your DECK THE HOWLS card and that background is just brilliant! I wanted to let you know that I always look forward to watching your Xmas Tag series and to say THANKS for the chance at the giveaway, in which I won one of your tags 2 yrs ago and still to this day have it proudly framed in my craft room!
Love the tags! Thanks for the inspiration!
Oh my gosh- I completely forgot about doing these as a kid- I am so glad you did these ( plus, I love, love, love the card!!!)
These are so darn cute!! Great way to start your tag series. I look forward to it each year.
Super cute start to your tag series! I look forward to it every year!!
These are so fun! The possibilities are endless! It would be fun to turn these into an ornament!
Super late commenting I’m sorry, been rather ruff, excuse the pun.
I have never ever made a diorama anything before but these have definitely spurred me on to want to. Glad your furr babies made it on to them.
These are very cute! I need to get some of those pouches. Did you hand draw the chimney and trees on the card? If so then I would love to see a video. They look great!
How clever. I have this stamp set, gotta try this!
Such a cute stamp set, the fifth dog was to cute, they turned out adorable. Happy holidays
Super cute set of tags! My daughter would get this one tied on a package if I win…. she adores her Golden Retriever, Sadie, and would love any of these cute pups!
These are pretty cool. I never made dioramas in school so seeing these being made was a first for me.
I find it hard to figure out where the
winner comment is on a YT post. I’ve
quit participating in the YT contests
because I’m not sure where to go to see
who won. Off my soapbox. Love the
little tags. The frame gives them
added depth and fun. Anything with
a puppy is wonderful. thanks for
sharing. txmlhl(at)yahoo(dot)com
So very cute, now I want to try this
These are my absolute favorite! For one I’m an avid animal lover, two I lost both my “kiddos” this year within 5 months of each other. This would be a great way to make some tags in their memory! Great idea and thank you again for your time & effort and sharing. I always enjoy your vids and teaching.
I never have seen a diorama tag before, what a wonderful idea, Sandy. Love it!
Love, love, love these tags! What a cute and different way to use the treat cups. I am definitely going to try this!
Love these tags. Can’t wait to try them.
These are are so cute! What a fabulous idea and how very generous of you x
Sandy, these are super cute! I had no idea where you were going with these..so much fun.
Hi Sandy 🙂 I save every stinkin’ piece of formed plastic I can get my hands on and now I know why! Gonna try to see which of them will work with this idea!!! Thanks for the inspiration 🙂
Oh My. Just Precious!!! You have such vision to think of these ideas. WOW
Thank You for sharing your talent.
I just love the tags! Thanks so much for the video!!
Adorable! Love the different use of the shaker pouches.
These are so cute… I love your work. Thank you for sharing.
Super CUTE diorama tags and love the big guy on the rooftop card!
These diorama doggies are my favorite! They are all so cute! Love the fun colors and design!
These dog tags are adorable!!
Such adorable tags and card made with the dog stamps. As a dog lover with two Schnauzers (brother and sister….how could I resist two….they were so cute!), an opportunity to win these adorable items would be perfect., thanks for the opportunity to win Sandy!
So sweet! I would love to see my beagle in one of these dioramas. What a great use for the shaker pouches. Really showcases the dogs.
Hi Sandy,
This is my first time visiting your blog! I watch your YouTube videos all the time!
I have this stamp set, and love what you have done! Great ideas! Thank yo so very much for sharing! I would love to win! Whoo hoo
These sweet dogs are so cool in the pouches…what fun
Gee, how adorable these are!
Adorable! Love the alternate use of the shaker pouch. What a great idea! Thanks for sharing it with us!
Gorgeous tags – I particularly like the little wiener dog one! Wish I could colour and create like you but I’m learning and getting better!
I absolutely live these tags, i just wish i could colour the way you do, im learning so much though. I have bought some copic pens to practice with having lots of alcohol pens with bullet nibs it’s a learning curve using a brush nib. Thank you so much for your tutorials.
So adorable and fun – cuteness overload with these doggies!
I LOVE super cute dog images. Plus, I love the play on word with “Dog tags”
Also, please pick me for your giveaway; I never win anything.
My favorite dog image is the one on your card, but the tag idea is great. I always look forward to your Christmas tag series.
Beautiful tags because I love dogs . Thanks for the inspiration
Love these!
As stated in your YouTube video, I look forward to these during this season! Can’t wait to see the rest! Also the card is just so cute and I love how you make scenes for the images!
Oh Sandy, I’m so excited for this series! I love that you’re still able to pack a lot of tips and ideas even for tags. I have to admit I had to look up what a diorama is. I think yours turned out amazing!!
I love, love this diorama idea!, and love those dogs
Love how lovely the colors are. Thanks for sharing!
I purchased this set from MFT when it first came out because the dogs were too cute and some of the proceeds went to a great cause. Love the idea of a diorama. Very creative
Gee, these are so adorable. I love how the shaker element highlights the precious doggies. Wonderful coloring.
love the diorama ideas! going to try an use as place settings!
Soooo fun! Your two dogs have the best mama, you always include them.
