Hello everyone, Adelina here sharing a bit of my humor for today’s 12 Tags of Christmas project. *laugh* Do you have any besties that you have an inside joke with? Perhaps a friend that has a great sense of humor? Well, today’s tag theme is for you!
I started by pulling out the Lawn Fawn Car Critters & the Car Critters Christmas add-on for my tags. When I saw the reindeer the first Christmas Carol that came to mind was “Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer”. I’m not the only one, right? I have to believe that was somewhere in the back of someone’s mind when they saw this stamp set! *laugh*
I stamped the images using Memento ink in Tuxedo Black, it’s a Copic friendly ink. Then I started pulling out a few Copic markers to come up with my color palette.
Once I colored up a few images, my tag color scheme started to really come together. I decided to stay with traditional Christmas colors for this project. I added images from three other Lawn Fawn stamps sets – Snowglobe Scenes, Tiny Gingerbread & Ho-Ho-Holidays. A total of FIVE Lawn Fawn stamp sets were used and I absolutely love how the similarity of the style of their artwork allows you to combine sets easily. It really made this process much fun for me.
For the base of my tag I used the largest of the Tag Trio dies by Christine Herrin. It’s a nice big base that provides lots of tag real estate for this fun project.
The Lawn Fawn Car Critters stamp set is is large enough to be a tag on it’s own, but I really wanted to create a scene with a variety of stamp sets for this particular project.
I decided to do two versions of my tag … before and after. *laugh* All in good jest, my friends! I cut the tag from the newest Essentials by Ellen, Modern Graphics Vol. 2 cardstock and foiled it with Heidi Swapp reactive foil. These Modern Graphics work great with reactive foils.
This year has been intense (to say the least) and I wanted to make something really light-hearted for this project. I mean, the holidays come with their own bag of complications without a pandemic! Am I right?! *laugh*

This song is new to me, lovely colouring on your tags.
This Christmas song is so funny and you created the perfect tag to illustrate how Grandma got run over by a Reindeer. So cute!
Too funny and so cute!
Gosh! So much detail!
Fun tag, too funny….
This is hilarious! Too fun!
Adelina, I laughed out loud when I saw your tag (and nearly spilled my coffee)! You’ve created the perfect scene to pair with your song! Festive fun, indeed!

My mother in law used to sing that song. I got a kick out of it then, and I do still. Really cute!!!
(I hit enter rather than POST COMMENT, so I don’t know if it “took”. If it did, please disregard this comment). My mother in law used to sing this song near Christmas. I loved to hear her sing it then, and love this tag now 🙂
Hahahaha. I’m going to have to think a little for this tag! 🙂
A really fun tag, would be great used on 2 presents that are coordinated.
How funny!
Sorry, but I’ve never been a fan of this song, but I’m a huge fan of this tag! What great detail and humor! Love it so much.
LOL! Never heard this song, and not sure how I feel about it, but I do love the tags!
Too fun! Love this idea and your before & after tags! Awesome coloring for your scenes!
Each day I look forward to checking out the song of the day!
Not a fan of this song but your tags are really cute & fun and go with the theme perfectly.

Watch out grandma! One of the best tags EVER! 🙂 Just love your creative mind putting this
one together!
Such a delightful tag, even if I do feel sorry for Grandma!
Love this stamp set and the tags.
I love grandma and the way you colored everything. I must confess that this song is not one of my favorites though!
Oh no, poor grandma! You nailed the song!
This make me laugh and laugh. You did a great job with this scene tag.
This tag is adorable I like how you made the scene on it and how you colored everything

Thanks for sharing.
song… LOL!
ROTFL! These are just the cheer I need today. So Cute!
These are adorable! Love the deer in the car! Super fun!
Ha who would have guessed Lawn Fawn stamps could be used this way. Funny.
LOL! what a crazy song!
Love the way you used the background paper. I think the first needs a sentiment that says “watch out Grandma!”
Too funny! This year really has been tough and we all need some laughter to get us through!
What a way to shake up the traditional Christmas tag with a whole new twist! I love the whimsy and how you used the wonderful stamps to create a unique story! Thanks for this bright spot in a difficult year!
Adorable tag! I love all the small details! It’s a crazy song but this tag is SO cute!
What a crazy song and the tags just brought the visual that we all see in our heads when we hear that song. Well, the reindeer in my head have never been driving a car but this is too funny and might be all I see from now on when I hear this. LOL🤣
What a funny tag!
Never saw this stamp set but you gotta be right! My now adult kids often teased their grandma with this song—your tag is perfect!
Cute tags, Adelina–you captured the spirit of the song well! I love how you combined the stamp sets. Thanks for sharing, & have an awesome day! 🙂 ~ Andrea
This totally made me giggle! Great little scene to illustrate the song!
Haha, those driving reindeer are too hilarious. I just hope they have their drivers license!
This is hilarious!! I love it!
So funny! Love that song! Great coloring!
