Our October Release featured stamp sets today include this year’s holiday StampTV kit, which includes TWO gorgeous stamp sets! Merry Little Christmas:

And City of David:

And our final featured set today is this month’s 1 Free With 3 set, Holiday Tags:

I also used the coordinating Silhouette Cut Files: Merry Little Christmas, City of David, Holiday Tags. Of course, all of today’s stamp sets were absolutely PERFECT for my Advent calendar, too! I forgot to give you my tag dimensions yesterday -- the colored mats are: 2.75” x 4.25” and the cream (Sandy Beach) portion is a little smaller. Now on to today's Advent calendar tags:

Tags #15 & #21 use Merry Little Christmas (click on any photo for a larger view):

15-Fa-la-la: Go Christmas caroling. Holly berries colored with Copic R22, R24, R27 and covered with Star Dust Stickles.
21-There’s no place like home for the holidays. Traditional favorite family holiday movie night at home – “The Polar Express”. Colored with Copic markers E25, E31, YG95, R24, Y23, R24. Silver jingle bell secured with silver cord.

#2 & #25 use City of David:

2-Wise men still seek Him: Star Dust Stickles on the stamped star.
25-For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord: Self-explanatory – the reason for the season. :) Star Dust Stickles on the star colored with Copic Y15.

#22 uses Holiday Tags:

22-From Our Family To Yours: Deliver homemade holiday cookies and candy to neighbors.

Finishing Details:
All of the tags are secured by small wooden clothespins (spray painted), to a picture frame (which I'll show you a little later). The inside of the frame opening measures 11.50” x 17.50” and was just an old recycled frame that I spray painted red.

I'm sorry I don't quite have all my Advent tags finished yet -- I'll be back this weekend to share the rest of them with you!
