Tag Topper gift box

I have some last minute boxes to share with you today.

These are so cute and so easy to make even

if you don't have a tag topper punch.

I found a very old written tutorial from

Charming 4 You blog.

I have gone with a snowflake theme using

Sparkling Snowflakes stamp set

Scallop Tag Topper punch

Silver card

Tutti Designs Snowflake dies

Bubblebath and azure afternoon inks

and matching ribbons.

Pretty Folio and pen

I have made another folio to use up my 12 x 12 stash.

This one used papers from K & Company and My Mind's Eye

along with some Soft Sea Foam card.

I saw a folio made by May May on YouTube which sparked

an idea and this is what I ended up with.

The front is magnetised and I added a matching pen.

Inside there are note cards and a jotter

decorated with stickers, machine stitched and some stamping.

Flip another page and you get some pockets holding

another little note book and some pretty tags.

It is full of nice friendship and inspirational quotes.

Wings at Tag Tuesday

The theme over at

TAG TUESDAY

has been chosen by me and I would love to see

ANYTHING WITH WINGS!

So a wide open theme for sure.

For this tag I have gone with a Spring like scene.

I used the stamp set called 

Quite Curvy

for the little birds and the trees came from

Life is Beautiful which is sadly retired.

I created the clouds using my homemade stencil and

Pool Party Ink Pad.

The birds have been coloured using

Daffodil Delight, Pool Party and Granny Apple Green blends.

The leaves on the trees have been coloured with

Old Olive Blends.

I punched the top of the tag with the

Scallop Tag Topper Punch

and finished with a bit of

Bumblebee Ribbon.

Crackle Paint Tag

I came across a new challenge, well new to me, all about making tags!!

So happy. I love making tags but only did them for Christmas last year

so now I get to play and enter them into a challenge!!

The theme is Wings so I thought the Butterfly Gala stamp set

teamed up with the gorgeous Crackle Paint stamp would be perfect.

I punched my tag, making it bigger than the 2" slot,

then stamped the crackle paint using Seaside Spray ink.

I inked up around the edges, working into the centre using same ink.

I stamped and punched the butterflies in memento and coloured

using daffodil delight blends.

The sentiment was stamped directly onto the tag, and I then added

the butterflies, finishing them with bodies and antenna.

You know how I like everything matching so I pulled out the

precious new scalloped linen ribbon in seaside spray to finish it off.

Christmas Snowman tag

Those little last minute presents definitely deserve a handmade tag too, don't they?

I only need a few more, though I think I said that last week lol.

This one is quick and easy, just what we need at this time of year!!

I stamped my snowman in the centre of a 2" wide piece of card.

I punch the top using my tag topper punch (love this punch!!)

I then stamped some snowflakes around the edges in Balmy Blue ink.

I coloured the snowman using blends and then finished the tag by

inking around the edges with more balmy blue and I coloured a piece of

pool party sparkle ribbon with the matching blender.

Added a merry Christmas sentiment.

Snowman tag

I've been neglecting my tag making so I'm here to make it right!

I wanted to see if I could make a rosette for my tag using the corrugated texture embossing folder

and I'm pretty happy with the results!

It has a good covering of wink of stella and then I stamped, coloured and cut out

the cute wee snowman!

He really does sparkle and will make a perfect tag for one of my Grandsons.

How I made it:

1. I cut a 2" x 5" piece of old olive card and punch the tag top

2. I added a piece of Under the Mistletoe dsp

2. Using the embossing folder I ran a 1" x 8" piece of whisper white card through.

3. I joined the edges to form the rosette using wet glue and adhered to a circle of card to hold.

4. I added some wink of stella and adhered to tag.

5. I stamped the snowman, coloured with watercolour pencils and added wink of stella.

6. He was cut out and added to the rosette using dimensionals.

7. I stamped the sentiment, cut to separate the words and adhered top and bottom of tag.

8. It was finished with a piece of poppy parade ribbon.
