Deer Tags - Christmas Card Challenges

At the Christmas Card Challenges blog they have a tag challenge going on.  We can never have to may tags so I pulled out some of my scraps to create a few guy tags as I can never have to many guy tags.

I started by tracing around a shipping tag onto some cardstock and cutting it out.  I then pulled out some Christmas paper, distressed it, inked it and added to the front of my tag.  I used the Deer from the Birch Tree Accessories and die cut a few of them and inked the edges.

 

The "let it snow" is another Unity stamp and this was stamped then cut out. Keeping things consistent I inked around the edges with the distress ink.  I have them up a zot to add a little bit of dimension.  I used wet glue on this and they are buckling a little but a day under a book with have them flat.  To finish off the top I added some embroidery yarn.

 

Thanks for stopping by.

Christmas Tags

For December the Counterfeit Kit Challenge is doing things a little bit differently.  Instead of the Counterfeit Kit's they are doing a December Daily, where there is going to different inspiration each day in December. On December 3rd it's Christmas Tags.  I like to make up some general one for the guys to use. 

I started with the Santa Suite and stamped in red ink onto white cardstock then trimmed it out with scissors and punched the black cardstock as a base. 

I made a mini tag and added a strip of pattern paper then added my stamped and punched dec. 25.

For my last one I used the ornament stamp and punch.  I layered three of the stamped and punched ornament onto one punched out of scrap cardstock. Then layered everything onto the punched label.

So I made a total of 14 tags.
Santa Suit - 5 tags
dec. 25 - 5 tags
Christmas Ornament - 4 tags.

Thanks for stopping by.

Christmas Tags

I have a couple of tags I made that will going on my Guys' packages. 

 

For the Tree Tag I hand cut the tag shape to 5 1/4" x 2 1/2" out of Kraft card stock.  I stamped the large snowflake from Snow Swirled and smallest snowflake from Delightful Decoration onto the background of the tag, then used a marker for the faux stitching.  I stamped the tree onto white card stock in Soft Suede ink then hand cut the tree out.  Out of Kraft card stock I cut another tree and used a marker for the faux stitching lines.  From red card stock I punched the round tab then stamped the large snowflake again.  I punched the small snowflake from red using the 3/4" circle punch.  I added the snowflake eyelet to the top of the tag with the red yarn. I stamped Merry Christmas then punched it out. A little bit of green zig zag ribbon and a few pearls to finish off the tag.  There are actually a few pearls in the tree - they are hard to see in the picture.

 

For the Dasher tag I cut two shapes out of Kraft and one red card stock.  I stamped Dasher in the center of one of the Kraft shapes and used the same snowflake stamps for the background on the other Kraft and red shape.  I stamped my sentiment and punched it out then layered it onto a punched piece of white card stock.   This is glued to the star shape and a gold brad holds it to the shapes. The holly leaves and berry were cut and inked then layered onto the tags.

Gingerbread Man Tag Day 5

I hope you are enjoying all the Gingerbread Man ideas.  Since the Gingerbread recipe card is a gift I needed  a tag to tie it all together.   Today's project is all made from scraps from my stash.  I cut my Gingerbread man out with my Cricut at 3" - be sure to hide the cookie so it does not cut and then you can have it to very right side of your mat. 

I used an embossing pad and then white embossing powder for my stamped sentiment, then fussy cut around it.  A little bit of ribbon, ric rac, and a couple of beads and buttons and my Gingerbread Man is finished.  I plan on adding him to the package.  After she opens the presents she can use it to decorate her tree next year or as bookmark in the recipe book.

Thanks for stopping by.  Tomorrow is my day as a Designer for the Card A Day Blog.  I hope you have been stopping by and getting lots of inspiration from my fellow Designers.
