Ahh…the first Christmas tags of the Season for me. Â I joined a swap with a bunch of very talented ladies (other demonstrators in the Ottawa area), and had to make groups of tags in two different designs.
For the first one, I used the Hostess set Deer Friends. Â I love this set. Â It’s so easy to make super quick tags and cards with this set and a couple of punches!
After stamping the reindeer (I inked up the stamp with my markers), I used my Versamarker to make his nose sticky, and then add some clear embossing powder and heated it up…I wanted Rudolph’s nose to be shiny! Â I think it turned out pretty cute! Â Then I punched him out, and layered him on top of some punched circles and a scalloped circle.
The tag itself is just a rectangle piece of cardstock with two corners at one end punched with the Scallop Edge Punch. Â The I made a hole for the ribbon with the horizontal slot punch, pulled the ribbon through, and secured the ribbon with a brad. Â To do this, I used my paper piercer to make a small hole through the ribbon, and slipped the brad through.
For the next set of tags I used the Winter Post stamp set from the Holiday Mini catalogue. I love this set!
The base of the tag is Very Vanilla cardstock sponged with Close to Cocoa Classic Ink. On the front, I stamped the postmark in Chocolate Chip. I used markers to ink up the “Do Not Open…” stamp, stamped it on Very Vanilla cardstock and then punched it out with the Designer Label Punch. I used dimensionals to adhere this to the front.
On the inside of the tag, I stamped the reindeer, and adhered a small piece of Very Vanilla matted on Ridinghood Red cardstock. And, of course, I did some more sponging!
I used the Slit Punch to create a closure for the tag, and used Jumbo Eyelets to hold the cord for the tag.
Hope you like them!
