One of the ideas I was given for Christmas in July when I asked my YouTube subscribers to put forward their suggestions was tags – so that’s what I made for day four and obviously it’s also my Festive Friday project!
My theme for today was Let It Snow and I immediately thought of the die cut Let It Snow which I had cut quite a few from when I did a die cutting the scraps session. Perfect sized sentiments for the 2” wide tags.
I had a thoroughly lovely 85 mins making these tags! I started with making the masterboard using my distress oxides and then a good amount of the shimmer spritz from Kingston Crafts.
Then I did a lot of stamping and colouring and die cutting using the My Favourite Things Polar bear stamp set. It was lovely just colouring in whilst listening to an audio book. Very relaxing.
The next stage I cut the masterboard into the tags – 2” wide and around 3.75” or 4” long.
I realised then I also needed a white backer for them as the back of the masterboard wasn’t clean so did the same with a separate sheet of white. This also helped to flatten the card which had been a little warped with the water and spritz added.
I then assembled the tags and punched the tops out – a couple didn’t quite cut right but I don’t think it matters they will look fine when added to a gift!
I then used glitter glue to add sparkle and texture to the images – mainly the beard and fluff on santas outfit and the scarf.
I did make the two tree based tags slightly differently adding teal glitter – not as keen on the dotty one but the glittered trees are so cute!
The sentiments work so well and love the different colours which added to the fun of the tags.
I still have some off cuts of the masterboard and the little MFT images left so have popped them to one side to make into something else sometime soon – although probably not until after Christmas in July is finished!
Happy crafting!
