My paper crafting life has been busy, busy, busy. I told a friend of mine, busy is good, but it's nice to finally have some time to write a post for my blog.
A few weeks ago I found some large kraft tags in a local store and knew I "needed" them. Sometimes I use tags as "tags" on packages and other times I use tags as the background for little scenes I create for my cards. I own several tag dies, but I still buy some pre-cut ones from time to time.
I purchased the 3 packages of 12 tags each that the store had in stock thinking that I would have more than enough of them. Was I ever wrong. I ended up using one of the tags as a pattern and now this season I have created about 100 tags.
I sold or gave away many of the tags before I photographed them, but I took pictures of the ones I finished today.
I ran the background paper and some white metallic tag through a snowflake embossing folder. The full snowflakes are attached to the tag with foam tape to give the tag dimension. The tags that I cut in half are adhered to the tag with Scor-tape.
The belt buckle on the Santa suit tag was created with the pull tab from a can of Diet Pepsi.
The gingerbread person on these tags were created with stamps from PaperTrey Ink's "Holiday Button Bits" clear stamp set. The sentiments were created with Washi tape.
I used Cherry Metallic Mist from Maya Road to add color to many of my Maya Road letters. I ran my letters through my Xyron X Maker to put adhesive on the back of them.
That's it for today. Marie and some of her friends are coming here tonight for a Pinterest Craft Party. I'll share the projects they are going to make another day.
Have a great night!
