Christmas Tags Part 1 | Weekend of Tags - Mini Series

Hello friends!

Today's post features many different tags! I've made so many cards that I need some tags to match and some just for fun! I will be using the PinkFresh Studio Classic Tag dies which work perfectly for this! And if you couldn't get your hands on the new shaker tags, I'll show you how to make them with this older set! I also added some die cuts, glitter and ephemera from various brands. I always think it's fun to mix and match your sets and brands to create unique creations!

So this post is one of two in a little tag mini series that I'm sharing with you this weekend. I also have YouTube video tutorials to match linked below 👇!

INSTRUCTIONS:

- Cut out desired tags from PinkFresh Studio Classic Tags die set. I cut out one with a decorative die for the front of the tag and one full tag for the back. And I did this for 3 tag designs for this post.

- Before putting together the fronts of the tags, I stamped out a small sentiment and a "To and From" box from Simon Says Stamp Joy For You & HO HO HO stamp sets for all 3 tags.

TIP: Get out all of your leftover die cut pieces from past projects and arrange them on your tags to get the most bang for your buck!

Tag 1

I stamped out a sentiment on the tag front with VersaFine Clair Nocturne ink and added a sub sentiment with Altenew Rose Gold Embossing Powder.

I cut out some hollies, pine branches and a poinsettia from the Spellbinders Pop Up 3D Sleigh dies and Christmas Blooms sets from white cardstock. I set them back into their negative spaces and coloured them in with Spectrum Noir Dark Red and Alpine Green Triblend markers.

I added an acetate window to the back of the tag front and created a well with some foam tape. I added some clear seed beads and some clear gems to the well, added some extra foam tape to the rest of the tag front and adhered the back of the tag to make this a shaker tag! I then arranged all those die cut pieces on the front with Bearly Art glue.

I finished this tag with some red glitter gems from the Spellbinders All Aboard kit. And I added some small clear sticker gems which are from the Dollar Store. I added some gold shiny jewelry string for the top of the tag.

Tag 2

I used some pattern paper from the Kaisercraft Peppermint Kisses paper pad and cut it using the bottom half of this tag die. I adhered it to the front of the back tag. I then adhered the front tag on top which allows that pattern paper to show through the die cut design.

I cut out a wreath 2 times, once from Sizzix Opulent Silver Pearl cardstock and another from Silver Mirror cardstock, using the Simon Says Stamp Eucalyptus Wreath die. I also put together a turquoise glitter bow using the bow that comes in the Honey Bee Stamps Nail Polish Bottle die set.

I had some leftover small poinsettia flowers from the Spellbinders Santa's Fireplace Die set and I cut some out of that same turquoise glitter cardstock used for the bow. I arranged all of this on the front of the tag and adhered it down. For the sentiment, I used my stash of pre-foiled and cut sentiments that I made previously using the PinkFresh Studio Perfect Sentiments: Holiday foil plate and die. I attached this with foam squares.

I finished this tag off with some light blue glitter gems from the Spellbinders All Aboard kit. And again, I added some small clear sticker gems which are from the Dollar Store. I added some silver shiny jewelry string for the top of the tag.

Tag 3

For the third tag, I attached the front tag to the back tag piece with nothing in between to make this a bit simpler.

I cut out 2 pieces, one from Sizzix Opulent Gold Mirror cardstock and one from white and gold striped pattern paper, using the Simon Says Stamp Simple Stem die. I assembled another bow from some Red mirror cardstock and then adhered this to the tag front, along with another sentiment from my stash.

I finished this tag off with some more red glitter gems from the Spellbinders All Aboard kit. And again, I added some small clear sticker gems which are from the Dollar Store. I added some red shiny jewelry string for the top of the tag.

And that's how I put these 3 tags together! It was a fun process and rewarding once you see how they turn out! Not to mention, using up leftover die cuts is like the icing on the cake!

And with that, I hope you have been inspired. As always, thanks for stopping by. And don't forget to leave me a comment, as I love hearing from you! Additionally tune in for tomorrow's post where I'll share some more of these pretty tags!
