Finishing up the tags for my neighbor gifts. . .

I've made so many tags in the last couple of weeks, I have put together 30 packages of tags to deliver to our neighbors, I made around 300 tags to give away, so many of them I forgot to get photos of,  here are the last I have photos of
Punch Art Snowman Tag:


• For each snowman punch out of Whisper White sprayed with shimmer spray a 1 3/8" circle and a 1" circle

• On the 1' circle add two small dots for eyes and free hand cut the triangle nose and attach hanging the point over the side of the circle, to the back of the circle add two Early Espresso pieces of a snowflake as arms

• Sponge the edges of the circles with Tempting Turquoise ink

• Add two of the larger dots towards the bottom of the largest circle and stamp To/From on the back

• Add one off the larger dots to the medium circle near the edge

• Using 3 half Dimensionals add the medium circle off center on the largest circle

• Use one Dimensional to pop the head up

• Tie a knot into a 4' piece of Real red 1'4" ribbon add to the snowman as a scarf using a glue dot

Even the naughty was stamped with Versamark and embossed with white embossing powder.
 
Merry Tag:


• Choose one of the merry tags

• Add either a red bird, or Trees (pop up one tree with ¼ of a Dimensional) or a snow flake

• Add string to hole

Some of these tags were from my Tags class, some I made just to give away.
 
The snowman is one that has been around on several blogs, I had been playing around with snowmen trying to come up with a Calvin and Hobbs type card, (that one is still in the works) when I saw this posted and since I had everything out playing with snowmen away I decided to add a snowman to the tag class.

Tags, again

Three more tags from my class!

• Using the markers color directly on the stamp, Always Artichoke – pine needles, Soft Suede – branch and pine cone, and Cherry Cobbler – To/From. Huff on rubber and stamp onto Very Vanilla CS and punch with the matching punch

Penguin Tag:

On a personal note, I am a mother of an Eagle Scout!  Trevor passed his Eagle board of review last night!

Tags, tags, tags

Yesterday was my tag class and we were able to make 27 tags, the girls were able to make 3 of each design, here are three of the tags we made.
Even the Naughty Tag:


• Using Cherry Cobbler ink stamp the phrase onto Whisper White CS and punch out with the 1 ¾" circle punch

• Attach it to the die cut circle off center near the bottom of the circle

• Lay a piece of string over the fold of the gray punch tab, and attach the tab to the top of the circle (see sample)

Stamped Snowman Tag:

• Using Marina Mist ink stamp the image onto Whisper White CS and punch out with the 1 ¾" circle punch

• Attach the stamped image onto a Pear Pizzazz circle and then onto a Marina Mist Circle

• Attach a one inch piece of double sided tape onto the back



Do Not Open Tag:

• Using the Garden Green and Cherry Cobbler or Riding Hood Red Markers color directly onto the stamp, huff and stamp onto Very Vanilla CS punch out with the 1 ¼" circle punch

• Layer the Designer Paper circle onto the Garden Green Circle

• Use 3 half Dimensionals on the back of the phrase and pop up on the Designer Paper Circle

• Punch hole and add string

The string I use on my tags is crochet thread, I have dyed some of it Cherry Cobbler and some of it Garden Green. For some reason the Garden Green did not turn out uniform, it was variegated, it went from Old Olive in color to Garden Green, it does look interesting.

Well I have club today and need to finish cleaning up from last night and get ready for the girls at noon, everyone is coming at noon today, I asked the girls that come in the evening if they could come at noon because this evening my youngest son is having his Eagle Board of Review (Yeah Trevor!) and that is a pretty big deal and I felt I should be there with him :).

I hope that you all have a wonderful day, now go stamp something.
