I am thrilled and Delighted to be asked to Guest Design for this Fun yearly event,
organised by the lovely and creative Loll......
Why not hop across and join in the Fun.....
12 Tags of Christmas Challenge
Your Christmas Tag can be
Mixed Media or CAS Mixed Media
Mixed Media is defined for The Challenge as Stamping....
Plus two Mixed Media elements....
Techniques and/or Products........
Here is My Tag.....
The tag has been crackled, painted, die cut, stencilled, stamped and heat embossed.
I had fun discovering you can use quite an intricate snowflake stencil,
over hessian with modelling paste and get quite a clean result.
For The Die Cut Poinsettia's I used crinkle paper and wax paper....
Stamping and heat embossing in white and using up my hoarded stickles and perfect pearls.
The Die Cut sentiment has quite a few layers of heat embossing on it
and I stamped the ribbon with the sentiment in brown, a first for me.
Finishing off with heated Frantage white embossing around the edges.
I am so looking forward to being stunned by the gallery
and being inspired by the other amazing guest designers.
Thank you so much Loll for inviting me to play along with this fun
Come and join in The Fun too......
I would love to enter the following challenges.....
Stamplorations Mixed Media - Which now includes cards too.
You must use a stencil in your project and mine is the snowflake stencil.

So many amazing layered elements on this beauty, Mac! I LOVE the burlap background. The crackle paste looks amazing and the white snowflake stenciled with white paste is gorgeous. Agree that it's surprising how crisp and clean the snowflake stenciling turned out. Your poinsettia are gorgeous cut from crinkle paper ... you'll have to give me more details about that! The white heat embossing and green edging with perfect pearls and glitter makes these flowers a work of art in themselves. So many amazing details ... I'm always in awe of your mixed media projects, Mac! Thanks so much for being a Guest Designer at the TTOC 2018! xx
Love all the textures and dimension!
Stunning tag Mac, I love the design and the wonderful texture and colours.
Congratulations on being on the DT, Kate x

Absolutely stunning, Mac ! Love all the different materials and techniques you used to make this gorgeous tag. And Congratulations for your guest designing over at Loll’s event ! x
Mac this is one fabulous and very constructively made tag. Love the crackle and the use of the hessian. The colours are just gorgeous and the word 'believe' sure stands out love this. ♥ aNNie
What wonderful texture, Mac! I love that crackled background and the stenciled snowflake on the burlap! Then there's that amazing poinsettia and the heat embossed die cut sentiment! And I'm totally amazed at the Frantage around the edges! That stuff is hard to get where I want it. You must have charmed it! An awesome tag!
A wonderful display of techniques. I love how you've used the snowflake stencil on the hessian and those poinsettias edged with that vibrant green.
A superb GD piece, Thank you so much for sharing this Christmas stunner.
Hugs Tracey xx
WOW!!! I am still picking my jaw up off the ground here Mac as I keep taking in every little detail on this GORGEOUS tag! I am just loving it ALL...from the crackling, the stamping on the ribbon, the modeling paste on the burlap, that FABULOUS Poinsettia, and all the rest! This tag is worthy of being set out as a Christmas decoration every year! LOVE it!! :0)
Mac, you are the Mixed Media Queen!!!! you amaze me every time with all those gorgeous elements. Your heat embossed sentiment and the crackle background with hessian are so amazing.
Beaten to within an inch of its life then! Love the result. Your never afraid to try new things Hugs Mrs A.
Where to start with commenting on this? Overall it's a fabulous example of mixed media. Love the stenciled paste on the hessian - it turned out so well. And the crackle background is perfect with the rustic look of the hessian. I love the way you mixed the stickles and perfect pearls on the poinsettia. Amazing tag!
Oh wow, I love the burlap and the gold sentiment, but the pop of green on the flower is really the coolest part for me!
You simply amaze me with all your technical savviness dear Mac. This tag is no exception. So much attention to detail and yet not overwhelming. This piece is beautiful and full of brightness, and like the ribbon says, MAGIC!
Congrats on being a GD, you are the perfect candidate! xx
My jaw is STILL on the ground after seeing your tag M. Just where do I start? The crackle background lays such a brilliant backing for the hessian. Then you go and stamp snowflakes on it! Wowza. Your poinsettia's are so arty with the touches oh white and the blingy edges. When I saw your ribbon I though you had bought ribbon with the sentiment on it -should have know it was your doing adding the text. Your Believe die is the perfect finishing touches all heat embossed multiple time to give it that lift and sheen and the touches of green stickles. I too would love to have watched you make this amazing piece of art. Your tag is simply our of this world but then I have one to admire that I see every day when I walk into my playstation. I'm soooooooooo lucky!
I just love all the textures you have on your tag Mac - with the burlap, the crackle and pretty layered poinsettia! It's so pretty in the non traditional colors! Julia xx
Your tag is absolutely gorgeous. I love the crackled background and the pretty green Frantage.
Wow, amazing layers of rustic and elegant texture, Mac! I enjoy looking at each and every gorgeous element! Love the crackled background and the stenciled snowflake on the hessian! And such beautiful poinsettias!! The layout is well-balanced and your attention to detail (including stamping on the ribbon!) is superb!

I was sad to see there's no 12 Tags of Christmas with the Funkie Junkie this year, so I'm glad to see somebody is playing somewhere - congratulations on being invited to guest design, and what a treat you've offered up. From the shimmer of that crackled background to the vivid lime green sparkle - all balanced by the earthy kraft and burlap - this is a brilliant tag. Wow!

Wow, Mac ... depth, dimension, texture, shimmer, shine ... you've made 'rustic' downright elegant ... so much fabulous detail, it's brilliant! Congratulations on designing with Loll for her 12 Tags Event! Hugs, Anita :)
Congrats on being GD!! This is such a beautifully layered tag... Right down to the perfect stamping on the ribbon! It's a gift on it's own!
You absolutely packed those techniques into this beautiful tag Mac and the result is stunning. I love the hessian with the crackle round the edges and the pretty poinsettias with the glossy green edges and centres, and the gold embossed sentiment with the several layers of EP really stands out. Great to the stamp a sentiment on the ribbon too. x
Thanks for sharing your fabulous tag, so sweet and striking!
When people are being stunned by the gallery, they will be especially stunned by this GD tag of yours, Mac! I mean, is there any technique that you can't use effectively?! I'm so impressed with your skill in all these techniques and how beautifully you made them all come together in this golden, rustic, and delightful Christmas tag! WOW!! ❤Hugs, Darnell
This is so incredible! I love the amazing textures, color palette and beautiful details. Congrats on the guest spot! Hugs, Autumn

A fabulous tag Mac and I love that burst of green along with the gold embossing. Every year, it gets to the time when I'm wrapping my presents and I always wish that I'd made more tags! I hope that you're keeping well and happy x
Congrats and well done on an amazing tag. I must try and join in with this if I can.
To answer your query about my little poppy cards. I made them for a group of friends I meet up with - just my little bit to commemorate and honour the occasion.
A beautiful cracked background, it looks like a sheet of old ice. And I love your beautiful poinsettia, she is beautiful in her colors. The sentiment looks amazing.
Hugs,
BożenA
