Tags Tags Tags...my newest passion. I have decided that our ladies group will be making a series of Tags. All kinds of tags. There will be Christmas, Birthday, Just because, just to name a few. Alot of people don't send cards but they do give gifts and what could be better than a handmade gift tag to go with that gift? So with out further ado lets get started.
Set 1 is Christmas.
TAG #1 and #3 Were made using the Pinwheel Punch Board by We r Memory Keepers. They are both 3" x 6" Cream cardstock was used for the base on #1 and the DSP is by Graphic 45 Raining Cats and Dogs. The Christmas Memories sentiment id a rubber stamp by Door County Rubber stamps. Tag #3 was also made with the Pinwheel punch board. This time it was kept super simple by just running it through a snowflake embossing folder and then having some silver ink swiped over the top. The large snowflake was a Martha Stewart Punch and the smaller punches were punched from an old EKSucess punch. The little red bow was a Tim Holtz punch.
The middle tag was made using the new Tag punchboard by WRMK. Love this little guy. The tag is also a 3"x6" black base and DSP was also G45. The deer head and the sentiment was a stamp and die set that came with the craft magazine Papercrafts from the UK. That flimsy doily under the deer is a piece of die release paper I had used with the doily on tag#1. I saw no reason why I couldn't use it too. I've done this in many of my cards when I use wax paper. Then I saw this release paper that was printed and just had to have it and give it a try. The paper really helps on intricate dies.
So those are the first 3 tags. I'll be working on the next set and I can't wait to share those with you too.
Until then............................
HAPPY CARDING
I'm with you, Susan! Why hide a card in an envelope when putting a tag on a package makes it look so beautiful and festive for all to see? These tags are awesome!! What a fabulous day you girls must have had!!
ReplyDeleteYAY for Christmas! I say you're the boss, make tags and everyone wins! These are just super, so detailed! I like how much texture they have (sure beats the $1 store sticker version I slap on a present, ROFL!) How fun for you and the girls - can't wait to see the rest!
