Christmas and WOYWW

There's nothing like the pressure of Christmas to get some craft action going in my studio!  I have not done a great deal but I've made a few cards and I've now just completed the last batch of gift tags. 
I decided to dig out some old stash that I haven't used for years and came across the Tim Holtz Snowflake Rosettes die.  I've had a rather obsessive few days making these gift tags and although not all in snowflake colours they do look quite good against the plain red or plain gold wrapping paper I'm using.


 
I sent a batch of these white ones to my nephew who is decorating his own tree in his own place this year and has been on the look out for tree decoration donations from family, and I also made a handful to go on my dining room tree which is mainly white this year.


I made some others for specific people, hopefully tailored to their tastes - the black and gold one having a slightly Gothic feel, which was difficult to obtain without it looking Halloweenish - I think I've just got away with it but it's my third attempt!
I am joining in with Sarah over at WOYWW this week, and I wish every one a Merry Christmas and a happy, peaceful and creative 2026.

  1. Oh my! Diana I've got that die somewhere now I'm feeling guilty that it's not seen the light of day for so long. However it's so good to see you here and your lovely art work. Thank you so much for the gorgeous Christmas card too. Hope we might see you here again next year. Wishing you a very happy woyww, Angela x10x

  3. Lovely to see you here Diana. Your little tags are totally gorgeous. I can imagine how absorbing it would be to get into a little production line but making them so individual. They will be treasured I'm sure. All the very best for Christmas and the New Year.x x Jo 🌈

  7. I'd forgotten all about that die - I have it too, I always found it a right fiddle, to be honest but yours look amazing. It's good to see you and I hope you have a fabulous Christmas Helen #3

  10. Thanks for your comment this week. I overestimated the state of my recovery and have been struggling with my wound the past few days. Determined to visit everyone this week but just a generic comment to save on the typing, been awake since 4am too - oh Man Hugs BJ#1
