"Tagged" (Tutorial)

With the holiday spirit growing and snowflakes falling, tags are wonderful accents to add festive greetings to gifts.

  

These tiny tags made with Penny Black stamps and Imagine Crafts/Tsukineko's inks were created in 6 holly-jolly steps.  

This was also a make-n-take project I taught at the last CHA convention.

 

Step 1

Cut a 1 ¼ x 3-inch rectangle from Olive Grove Cardstock.  

Round the top corners and punch a small hole at the top.  

Measure 1 5/8 inches down from the top of the tag and make a 1/8” slit on each side.

Step 2

Stamp Crystal Pattern on the tag with Pistachio Memento ink.

Step 3

Stamp the circular sentiment from Winter Wishes with Crimson Red VersaFine 

on a circular ring created with Spellbinders Standard Circles.

Step 4

Stamp the penguin from A Cool Christmas on white cardstock with Onyx Black VersaFine 

and heat emboss with clear powder.  Color the image with Memento markers and trim.

Step 5

Thread the tag through the ring and secure in the side notches.  

Place a small amount of adhesive under the ring on the back of the tag 

and insert a piece of dimensional foam under the front of the ring.

Step 6

Adhere the trimmed penguin to the tag with dimensional foam and add twine.
