Cricut Joys of the Season Tag 12 Days of Christmas DAY ONE GIVE AWAY

On the 1st Day of Christmas ... well, you'll have to wait until the end of the post to find out what the 1st day of Christmas brought!

Created with Cri-Kits gel pens & Stickles

Isn’t that a pretty tag? I’m putting it on one of my daughter’s gifts…if I can’t finagle a way to get it on one of mine, LOL! I used the Cri-Kits gel pens to help me make a colored outline on Stampin’ Up white vellum cardstock.

I used my Gypsy to help me hide and unhide different pieces of this image which is from the Joys of the Season Cricut cartridge. With the red berries hidden, I used a green Cri-Kits gel pen to draw the leaves. Next, I hid the leaves and showed the berries. I then replaced the green Cri-Kits gel pen with the red one to draw the red berries. After I was finished drawing, I replaced the gel pens with the Cricut blade. I then cut only the outside of the ornament. Ta Da!!

I used a vellum adhesive to attach the vellum to some textured foil paper. The vellum adhesive I used didn’t do a good job of hiding the glue. Oh well, next time I’ll use something else. 😉 I thought it would be pretty to use some Stickles glitter glue to fill in the lines I created with the Cri-Kits gel pens. This is just another way the pens can be used.

Oh Christmas tag, oh Christmas tag...how lovely are your Stickles.

I love that the Cri-kits gel pens can create pictures, words AND also create a color coded template for me to follow. COOL!

Here are the things I used to create this tag. Not shown are my Gypsy, Cricut, American Crafts foil cardstock and vellum cardstock.
