Granted, Christmas is over. However, I haven’t shared all my tags yet, so here’s five more.

This first one is for my mother-in-law. Her favorite color is purple.

Olivia's Tag

Stamps: C.C. Designs Harp Angel
Cardstock: Stampin’ Up Whisper White, Elegant Eggplant
Ink: Stazon Jet Black; Dell printer
Embellishments: Stampin’ Up grosgrain ribbon Elegant Eggplant; glitter; eyelet; Recollections mulberry paper rose
Tools: Stampin’ Up markers; atYou Spica gold; Nestabilities Labels Four; glue pen

Here, you can see it on the present. Isn’t that gold ribbon pretty? I reused it from a gift I received.

The next one is my friend Jillan’s daughter, Lillie. I made her a little Christmas present, which I will share in another post. Lillie likes red, but she calls it pink, so I decided to use both red and pink.

Lillie's Tag

Stamps: Close to My Heart Merry Pursuits
Cardstock: Stampin’ Up Whisper White, Real Red, Pretty in Pink
Ink: Stazon Jet Black; Dell printer
Embellishments: satin ribbon from stash; glitter; eyelet; Robin’s Nest early dawn dew drop
Tools: Stampin’ Up markers; Copic markers; Nestabilities Labels Four, snowflake die; white gel pen; glue pen

This one is for James’ sister Tami. It is very similar to Lillie’s tag, except I ended up not adding a snowflake. Yep, her favorite color is purple too.

Then we have the tag for my father-in-law.

Tools: Stampin’ Up markers; Copic markers; Nestabilities Labels Four; Martha Stewart Snow Flurry border punch

And lastly (for today), this is the tag for my nephew Cameron. I kinda wish I had swapped the ribbon I used on Joe’s tag with the ribbon I used on Cameron’s tag, but oh well.

Tags #4 and #5

Today I’m sharing the Christmas tags I made for our friends Aric and Kristy.

Aric’s tag was made with the Just Us Girls Challenge #64, a color challenge to use light blue, green and white.

Aric's Tag

Stamps: Close to My Heart Merry Pursuits
Cardstock: Stampin’ Up Whisper White, Garden Green
Ink: Stazon Jet Black; Dell printer
Embellishments: Stampin’ Up 5/8″ satin ribbon Bashful Blue; Stickles Holly; eyelet
Tools: Stampin’ Up markers; Copic markers; Nestabilities Labels Four

I made sure to use red as the main color for Kristy’s tag, since that is her favorite color. I recently bought two Copic markers, E00 and E000, so I could color faces better, but I am a tad frustrated as every time I’ve used them they blend the black ink used to stamp the image. Anyone in blogland have any suggestions about using a different type of ink? The only time I didn’t have that issue was when I used a digi stamp that I had printed about 3 weeks earlier. I’ve even tried heat setting the stamped image and it still blended.

Tag #3

Normally, I don’t like to do more than one blog post in a day, but I had planned to get this posted yesterday, but didn’t have time and today’s the deadline for the challenge.

Today’s tag was made for my niece, Aspen. I had a lot of fun with this tag, even if I did have to stamp it three times and I still had a tad too much pressure in some spots. Oh well. I followed my friend Lori’s suggestion and waited a day before heating up the liquid applique and it did allow for a more uniform raised look. I also added some glossy accents to the ornaments for dimension. Today’s tag meets the requirements for the All That Scraps Weekly Wednesday Challenge #56 to use snowflakes.

Aspen's Gift Tag

Stamps: C.C. Designs Christmas Around the World
Cardstock: Stampin’ Up Whisper White, Baja Breeze
Ink: Stazon Jet Black; Dell printer
Embellishments: Stampin’ Up 5/8″ striped grosgrain ribbon Baja Breeze; Robin’s Nest early dawn dew drop; eyelet
Tools: Stampin’ Up markers; white gel pen; Inkssentials Glossy Accents; liquid applique

Another Christmas Tag

Posted on by

This tag is for my youngest nephew, Trevor. It meets the requirements of this week’s Our Creative Corner Challenge to make a tag. It also meets the requirements of Prairie Fairy Friday Challenge #40 to use buttons and bows. Although, I’m not completely sure of the time cut-off on the Prairie Fairy challenge. And it meets the requirements of the Diecut Dreams Christmas Club Challenge #45 to use a die cut. This time instead of hand-writing the name and year, I ran it through the printer and I have to say, I prefer the more professional look of printed type. I really like how it turned out, even if I wish I had only used the border punch on the potion of the top piece that overlays the image panel.

Trevor's Christmas Tag

Like the last tag I shared, I used liquid applique and glitter to give sparkle to the tag. Be prepared, there might be a lot of liquid applique used on my Christmas tags.

A Christmas Tag

Posted on by

Since I decided not to hand make Christmas cards this year (don’t worry, I’m sending out a picture card instead), I thought I would make handmade Christmas tags. At least, I plan to make them for all the kiddos. I’m going to put 2010 and their name on the tag, and I thought it would make a good embellishment for a quick Christmas layout after the gift is opened. This first tag is for my nephew Dawson, the oldest of my nieces and nephews. Since I used a C.C. Designs image, it meets the requirements for the All That Scraps Weekly Wednesday Challenge #55 to make a tag.

Dawson's Christmas Tag

And here’s a close-up of all the sparkle.

Now to wrap his gifts so I can attach the tag.
