Today we are excited to be part of the 9th Annual 25 Days of Christmas Tags with Tracey McNeely. Today is only Day 3 of this awesome feature so make sure you visit her blog each day to see all 25 days! Today she's featuring the Newton's Nook Design Team on her blog so make sure you head over there to see some more beautiful tags using NND products!

I created a fun set of deer themed tags to play along! Here's what I created:

I started out by using our Gingham Stencil to make a buffalo check background. I used white texture paste with the stencil on a black cardstock panel. Once that was dry I cut the two tag shapes out using our Fancy Edges Tag Die Set. This die set is super fun because it includes little mini border dies that you can use to make custom tag shapes. For the tag on the left I made it a little longer to make room for the tall deer shape, I just cut my paper the same width as the tag and then used the little decorate scalloped border. I also used the Fancy Edges Tag Die Set to created the little red tag reinforcement shape around the hole.

For the sentiments, I embossed the "merry & bright" and "joy to the world" from our Ornamental Wishes Stamp Set. Then I cut out the two deer shapes using gold paper with our Splendid Stags Die Set. For the finishing touch I added some white bakers twine through the center of the tags and soem red ribbon on the top!

I really love the shiny gold deer paired with that background! It has such a fun woodsy yet festive feeling and would really dress up some Holiday gifts!
