Mini Mat & Tag Die Focused Cards with Alma and Marie

Hello, my dears. It's Alma and today I'd like to present you my great passion: crafting with tags! I think you can use them in all situations! I was so excited that Sunny Studio Stamps released a Mini-Mat and Tag Dies series this year. So awesome and versatile! I chose the Mini Mat & Tag 1 Dies and used them for a Diagonal Double Pocket card. You can find instructions here. 

First of all, I punched out the tags from light blue cardstock. Then I stamped the alpacas from the Alpaca Holiday Stamps set and coloured them with Copics. For the fluffy piles of snow I used the Fluffy Clouds Border Dies. I used design paper from the All is Bright 6x6 Paper pad to decorate the card. Just love the turquoise snowflake paper. 

For the background design, I punched the birch tree trunks from the Rustic Winter Dies set and punched the Scalloped Fence Dies. 

Now stamp all the texts, glue everything together, write nice winter and Christmas thoughts on the tags.... and the winter wish card is ready.

Hello Crafty Friends, Marie here! I am super excited to be back on the blog to share my latest project with you! Tags are one of my favorite things about gift giving! It is a charming little detail that makes giving gifts to friends and loved ones even more personalized and special. Today I am sharing three Christmas Tags created using three of the newly released Mini Mat and Tag Die Sets. I also dressed up my tags using images from the beautiful Classy Christmas Stamp Set. 

I started off by die cutting three tags from solid 110lb Neenah Solar White Cardstock. I used the Tag dies from the Mini Mat & Tag 1 Dies, Mini Mat & Tag 2 Dies and Mini Mat and Tag 3 Dies. After cutting out the tags, I cut all the tag tops from  from Gold cardstock. I also die cut all the tags again using craft paper and Attached them to the backs of all the tags. For the front of my dies, I die cut the Mini Mat & Tag 2 again using craft cardstock and attached it to the front of my tag. For my other 2 tags I used the rectangle die from set 3 to create rounded rectangle centers for my other 2 tags. I splattered watered down acrylic paint to all the craft cardstock fronts. 

For my Christmas images, I used Distress Ink in the color Antique Linen to stamp them onto watercolor paper. I then used Derwent Inktense water soluble pencils to watercolor  my images in a traditional red and green palette. I then adhered all my gold tag tops to each corresponding tag using Bearly Art Precision Craft Glue. I added some gold trim to 2 of my tags and attached my images. I propped up some of the images using foam tape for some dimension. For my poinsettia tag, I used some Sunny Studio Gold Jewels embellishments, flipping them over to expose the shiny diamond side. 

On the back of my tags, I used the Loopy Letters Dies to create my "To". For the  finishing touch to my tags, I added some red and white Christmas Twine and Gold Twine to the tops of all my tags. 

There you have it friends! Super easy-to -create gift tags to decorate all your presents this Holiday season! I am super happy with the way my tags turned out! I can't wait to put them on gifts! Thanks so much for joining me today! Until next time, Happy Paper Crafting!
