Hello Crafty Friends!

I hope you'll be inspired to create your own magical tags after feasting your eyes on these gorgeous creations......

Hi everyone.
Today I have two (Christmas) winter tags to share. I love giving tags in place of cards, and making them.

For the first tag, I used the Graphic 45 - Staples - Regular Tag Set. I cut two in heavy weight black cardstock and then I traced along the inside of the metal die to cut it in the patterned paper. Tracing along the inside will make a slightly smaller tag which gives me a nice border along the edges. I also inked the edges with Distress Ink - Black Soot.

Next, I added a cut out from the collection, which I matted on red cardstock. I fussy cut the beautiful girl from the collection. Again, I used Distress Ink - Black Soot to ink around the edges and stuck her on using leftover pieces of chipboard then I added a red eyelet.

To finish the tag, I cut out a poinsettia using Tim Holtz - Bigz Layered Tattered Poinsettia - Die.
I used red Little Birdie hand made paper which has a nice texture to it. I brushed gel medium on parts of the poinsettia and sprinkled Twinklets - Diamond Dust over the top to it give an icy look. The pine cones are from my stash which I finished off with the DecoArt - Dimensional Effects Paste. Finally I finished it all of with some red and gold berries and ribbon from my stash.
  

 The second tag I made by cutting two pieces of natural kraft card measuring 3 1/2'' x 6 1/2'' . I also cut the same in the patterned paper. I glued the two pieces of card together and added the patterned pieces for the front and back before snipping the top corners.

Next I cut out some snowflakes using the Tim Holtz - Thinlits - Paper Snowflakes - Die.

Using the DecoArt Paste I covered the snowflakes, and also along the edges of the tag.

Next I added the snowflakes to the tag and sprayed it with Sheer Shimmer - Craft Spray - Sparkle (I love this product).

To finish this tag, I added the image from the paper collection which I also edged with the Dimensional Paste, the magical banner is from the Solitude Elements Sheet. I added the flowers which were part of my chosen products this month, Graphic 45 - Rose Bouquet - Bon Voyage and French Blue , as well as some flowers from my stash and blue ribbon. Of course, I sprayed the whole tag with the Sparkle Shimmer Spray
.

I hope you enjoyed these tags.
