I must confess … I always gaze in awe at the creations of Kittie Caracciolo … but I struggle to figure out how to incorporate her design style into my creations. Here's her tag she made for the 3rd day of the 12 Tags of Christmas with a Feminine Twist.
So instead of trying to incorporate a more literal interpretation of her design, I took a step back and thought about what I could incorporate. Can you see those elements in my design?
Here are the elements I incorporated:
- a tall vertical tag with standard tag corners (4"x8")
- green designer paper on the top half of the tag
- a central element attached with foam tape for dimention (in this case these adorable free tags)
- Hero Arts Fancy Flourish Die Cuts instead of vines & tree branches
- a poinsettia in the corner
- and another red element at the top of the tag.

Stephanie, this is so precious. I can definitely see the elements of my tag and love your take with the penguin. I love that flourish tag.
This is darling with that cute penguin. I love those layered flourishes.
