craftykarendesigns: Christmas Tags - Ink, Stamp, Share Showcase

Hi Everyone,

This week I have been trying out some designs for Christmas Tags using bits and pieces on my craft room table. I had a few die cuts and punched shapes and I recently bought the Tailor Made Tags and the Spruced Up Outline dies so I thought I would have a play.

Materials

Scraps of gold foil, dsp, basic white card

Scraps of ribbon

Real Red ink

Parakeet Party ink

Versamark ink

Metallic Embossing Powder

Heat Tool

Tailor Made Tags

Spruced Up Outline dies

Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine

Christmas To Remember stamp set

Penguin Place stamp set

Spruced Up stamp set

Parakeet Party Metallic ribbon

Gold ribbon

Decorated Circle Punch

Paper Snips

Multipurpose adhesive

Dimensionls

Instructions

I die cut some of each of the largest tags in basic white, gold foil and Lights Aglow dsp.

Then I die cut a Christmas Tree and a parcel from the Spruced up dies in gold foil and also in the Parakeet Party dsp. The dies cut out an outline as well as the filler piece so by doing one in each I could use the gold outline with the parakeet party filler and I have a spare set to use later. I also had some of the Christmas lights already cut out in gold foil and I have split them to over the tree.

On this tag I have stamped a sentiment from Penguin Place in Parakeet Party at the bottom of the tag. Then I adhered the gold outline with the dsp filler to the centre of the tag and added a small star in gold foil too. I snipped the lights into a couple of pieces and arranged them on the tree.

On this tag, I stamped the sentiment in real red ink from Christmas to Remember and then added a gold foil parcel and added the Parakeet Party filler pieces.

On these 2 tags, I embossed the sentiment in gold and then punched it out with the Decorative Circle punch and added it with dimensionals to the Lights Aglow tag.

I stamped the To and From on the back of the tags and then put them together with ribbon as shown. These are really simple tags and can obviously be made much more elaborate or kept as simple as you wish. I've no doubt that I will be making lots of different ones between now and Christmas.
