Holiday Tag-Stravaganza

This week at Try Stampin' on Tuesday we continue with our Holiday Tag-Stravaganza

Last week Design Team A kicked off the week with tags, tutorials and a whole lot of inspiration

 

This week is Design Team B's turn

We have more Holiday Tags to inspire and more tutorial's to share 

 

Here's my tag...

 

 

How to make this tag...

 

Basic supplies needed:

Paper Cutter, scissors, Adhesive, Glue Dots, Mounting Tape 

and other supplies described in the tutorial below

 

Begin with the follow paper cut to size:

White cardstock cut: 

5-1/2" x 3"

2" x 2"

Kraft cardstock cut:

4-3/4" x 2-3/4"

2" x 2"

2-1/2" x 1-1/2"

Two coordinating pattern papers:

Diamond pattern was cut at 3" x 2"

Dot pattern was cut at 3" x 3/4"

 

Using a Snowflake embossing folder, I ran the largest Kraft cardstock through my Cuttlebug

 

I then laid this embossed piece on a flat surface

Take the White VersaCraft ink and rub across the surface of the cardstock

The ink will cover the raised, embossed area only

 

Next I stamped a circle sentiment on to the 2" x 2" Kraft cardstock using Chocolate ink

Using a 1-1/2" circle punch - punch the sentiment out

 

Use the 2" x 2" white cardstock and a 1-1/2"snowflake punch - Sponge the edges with Chocolate ink

 

To finish the tag:

Using the last piece of Kraft cardstock 2-1/2" x 1-1/2"

punch another 1-1/2" circle for top of tag and a 1/2" circle for center of snowflake

Tie a 2" piece of red twine through tiny white button

Layer the 1/2" kraft circle and tiny white button with red twine on top of snowflake

Use three pieces of 12" twine - I used brown and red for top of tag

Loop twine through 1-1/2" kraft circle, which is folded in half and punch in center

 

See finished tag above for layers - working back to front

 

I hope you enjoyed my tutorial and have been inspired by my tag

Holiday Tag Challenge at Moxie FAB World

 

I have created my project for the Holiday Gift Tag Challenge over at  Moxie FAB World

 

This is my first time playing along at Moxie FAB World

 

I've been to the site before, but with Design Team obligations and working full time, I seem to run out of time to play in their challenges, and many other challenge sites as well.   There is so much information, sharing and fabulous inspiration on the site, I was really enjoying looking around. But, I am down to the wire with getting the Holiday Tag done and submitted before the September 2, Midnight EDT deadline, so here it is, I hope you enjoy it!

 





Here's my tag...

...which I made using a soup can pull tab for the top - a good Up-Cycle embellishment

I love using these pull tabs and adding them to the tags I make

Check out my previous tutorial posts for more soup can pull tab projects HERE







 Supplies I have used for this project:
3.5" x 5.5" white card stock base
All designer paper & sentiment from Simple Stories 6" x 6" paper pad - HOMEMADE HOLIDAY
I finished the tag with banners, adhesive pearls and three colors of fibers to make my bow
To add the soup can pull tab, punch a hole and then attach to the top of the tag with a large white brad
Now it is ready to add to any package by simply tying it on with ribbon laced through the tab

I encourage you to take a look at the tags already submitted, be inspired and play along at
Moxie FAB World
You'll might even get a few tags done before the holiday season arrives

 

Oh and BTW...the winning entries will receive a copy of Holiday Cards & More, Volume 8

 

I have my fingers crossed :)
