Good morning!
Well, it's time for the last challenge of the year over on the Daring Cardmakers blog.
We're making tags, labels and other gift décor, but as I've got enough gift tags to last me a while I thought I'd use my gift tag as a card topper instead.
If you popped your tag in a pocket or used low tack adhesive you could also do a similar card project where the recipient could reuse the tag too. :)
Paper: Basic Grey - Aspen Frost (r), Pebbles - Cozy & Bright (r)
Stamps: Hello Bluebird - Typed Christmas, The Stamp Market - So Mini Hellos
Dies: Lawn Fawn - Put a Bow on It, PTI - Tag Sale #2, The Stamp Market - Oblong Hexagons, The Stamp Market - Pine Boughs
First up, I created my tag by stamping on cream cardstock using post-it tape to mask the tree when stamping the car.
I coloured in with Copics and used a white pen for highlights.
Once again the Typed Christmas sentiments from Hello Bluebird had a fun sentiment that fit the bill. :)
I just needed to find something in my stash to showcase this tag, and I remembered I had a few bits and pieces left of Basic Grey Aspen Frost. This collection has so many peppermint elements and a nice frosty blue through it that I knew it would go well with the red mini.
I cut the plain blue panel with an oblong hexagon die from The Stamp Market, but didn't stick it down fully so that I could lift the edges a little.
The bottom of the tag is stuck on with foam tape, but the top is glued flat in place - so again, a nice touch of dimension to lift these elements.
I added a bow and pine sprigs before adding the button and twine combo as a finishing touch.
I'm really going to be sad the day my Basic Grey scraps run out! But there's still enough for a few more Christmas cards... ;)
Make sure you check out the wonderful ideas from the rest of the design team, they're great for some last minute gifting accessories!
Happy crafting!
