Tag Theme Week: Day 1
Hello Crafty Friends! Welcome to Tag Theme Week! It is Hanh here with you today. I am so excited to share some fun Christmas tags that I have made using the Stitched Rounded Rectangle Dies. I love making tags just as much as making cards. They are such a fun way to add just a little pizzazz or cuteness to a gift.
Tags can be created with just about any die but I especially love using nesting dies since they can be used as mats or to create windows and frames. The Stitched Rounded Rectangles Dies were just the perfect set of dies to create the 3 Christmas tags I have to share today.
Merry Christmas! My first tag is a clean and simple one featuring the adorable penguin from the Penguin Friends set. I stamped the images from the Penguin Friends stamp set onto a piece of Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and used the Penguin Friends coordinating dies to diecut them out. I colored with Copic markers and highlighted with a white gel pen.
COPIC COLORS:
Penguin: T3/4/5/7, W00/0/1, Y38 YR04, R20
Hat: R14/24/29, C1/3
Trees: YG01/03/25/17
I used the Stitched Rounded Rectangles Dies to diecut a tag of white cardstock and a slightly larger one out of red cardstock. I stamped the “Merry Christmas” sentiment from the Sentiment Strips: Christmas stamp set directly onto the panel with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I lightly ink blended some Spun Sugar Distress Oxide ink to the background for a bit of color. I adhered the white and red tag and used a hole puncher to punch a hole through both layers. I adhered the colored images and added a little bell and twine from my stash to complete the tag.
Have a Holly Jolly Christmas! My second tag is a simple Santa themed one. I used the Stitched Rounded Rectangles Dies to diecut a tag out of red cardstock. I used the Christmas Bucket Additions Dies to diecut the Santa belt and fluffy trims out of colored cardstock.
I stamped the “Have a Holly Jolly Christmas” sentiment from the Sentiment Strips: Christmas stamp set directly onto the Santa suit trim with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I adhered the Santa suit parts onto the red tag as seen in the photos and highlighted with a white gel pen. I used a hole puncher to punch a hole through both layers. I added a little bell and twine from my stash to complete the tag.
Merry Christmas! For my final tag, I used the Reindeer Holder Dies, Christmas Holder Additions Dies (hat + snowflakes) and Christmas Bucket Additions Dies (cheeks + hooves) to diecut the reindeer and snowflakes out of colored cardstock. I assembled the reindeer and hat as seen in the photos and highlighted with a white gel pen.
I taped two dies from the Stitched Rounded Rectangles Dies together and used them to diecut a frame out of red cardtosck. I used the larger of the two dies to diecut a tag out of white cardstock. I lightly ink blended the tag with some Spun Sugar Distress Oxide ink. I used a hole puncher to punch a hole on the top of the white tag.
I stamped the “Merry Christmas” sentiment from the Christmas Gingerbread stamp set onto a piece of white cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and used the Christmas Gingerbread coordinating dies to diecut it out. I adhered the red frame, snowflakes, reindeer and sentiment to the tag with a combo of liquid glue and foam tape for a bit of dimension and interest. I added a little bell and twine from my stash to complete the tag.
