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!
