Truckloads of Love Tags with Bobbi

Hello fellow crafters! It’s Bobbi here with a couple of festive, vintage-inspired tags for the holidays. I like to get an early start on my holiday tags. It’s nice to have handcrafted tags ready to go when it is “wrap” time. I am in love with this new Truckloads of Love stamp set and just had to make a couple of string tags using the cute vintage truck from the set. 

The bases of these tags were cut from 80lb Neenah Solar White cardstock and a darker green cardstock. I used the largest die from the Stitched Arch Dies set. I added a snow “base” by hand-cutting simple rolling hills from white cardstock and attaching the strips to the base of both tags. I stamped a holiday phrase on each one using two sentiments from the Truckloads of Love stamp set.

For the Christmas tag, I stamped, colored, and cut the truck and attached it to the tag base using foam tabs so it would stand out a bit. I used Copic Marker colors: BG75, BG45, BG32, YR27, YR24, 100, C7, C5 and C3 to color the vintage truck. I added a little critter from the same set and cut his face down to fit inside the window opening that I had also hand cut. I colored him using the same cool grays that I used for the truck’s tires and chrome accents. The gifts were colored using bright colors in reds, greens, purples and teal and attached to the truck bed using a foam tab. Once the truck was in place, I splattered the tag with white paint to look like a beautiful snowfall. Snowflakes from the Woolen Mitten Dies set were attached with glue. Sparkly gem stickers in a light bronze were added to the centers of the flakes and a string was attached at the top.

For my second tag, I attached a red truck to the tag base on a slant, as if it is climbing up the snow hill. I added wood rails to the truck bed along with the holiday tree and gifts in the bed. A cute critter is peeping over the tree. Do you see him? The images are all from the Truckloads of Love stamp set and coordinating dies. I sprinkled white ink over the truck and tag and attached some holly leaves from the Woolen Mitten Dies set at the top and gem stickers in red to look like berries over the leaves. I stamped a few stars in the sky and added some dots of B00 blue and R46 red to the tag for interest.
