Karen Telfer's "12 Days of Christmas Tags 2025" - Day 6



I'm still playing catch up on Karen's tags.  For some reason I've just not fancied being in the craft room.  You can't force these things.  But I woke in the middle of the night and decided I may as well get up and do something, so made my Day 6 tag of Karen Telfer's "12 Days of Christmas Tags 2025" series.  Here's the link to Karen's tutorial if you fancy having a go yourself.  As usual, I have taken inspiration from Karen's tag but made it my own design.

I've used a kraft tag, a layer of white card and then a layer of kraft card, which creates a white frame for the central design.

Using Versafine Clair "Shady Lane" green ink, I stamped the verse, which is part of a Hobby Arts stamp set called "The Holly & The Ivy - CS137D".  I used Versafine Clair "Spruce" dark green ink and holly stamps from the Hobby Art "Christmas Flourishes - CS081D" stamp set to stamp the holly on to the kraft card.  I then stamped some on white card, which I fussy cut for later use.

Next, I used two colours of Versafine Clair ink to stamp the Lavinia Stamps "Jemima" robin. The colours of ink I used were "Acorn" brown and "Tulip Red" ink.

I then glued the extra holly leaves on to the tag.  I added dots of white across the tag for snow and finally added some dots of Ranger "Glossy Accents" to the holly berries and to the eye of the robin.

  1. Another pretty robin Sam, and the stamped and extra cut out holly leaves and berries make a wonderful perch for him, and the added first and second generation stamped script works beautifully over the kraft card background. x
