Christmas Tag #5

Hello friends!

It's time for tag #5 of my 12 tags of Christmas.

This tag features a cute vintage couple image.

Start by printing this vintage image and cutting it out.

Cut your tag shape. I gave my tag a rounded top.

Cover the upper half of the tag with pink patterned paper.

Cover the rest of the tag with red patterned paper.

Add another smaller pattern to the center of the tag.

Cut a small pink tree from cardstock. Adhere to the tag.

Punch a border from green cardstock and adhere along the bottom of the tag.

Take a white gel pen and add stitch marks around the edges of the tag.

Adhere the vintage couple to the center of the tag.

See how I centered the tree between the couple and not the tag?

I then added small adhesive white pearls to the tree.

Next, I tucked a white cardstock snowflake behind the girl.

Add your Christms sentiment across the top of the tag.

Add a red ribbon bow to the top of the tag and it's done!

Another Tim inspired tag to share!

Wishing you a lovely day, Lindsey



Christmas Tag #4

Hello friends!

Are you ready for another tag?

This tag features this bright, fun vintage card.

Print and cut Santa and grab your tag.

Ink your tag with Vintage Photo Distress ink to give it an aged look. Stamp snowflakes along the top and bottom of the tag. I used a stamp from Inkadinkado.

Take a colored pencil and outline the stamped areas.

Take red Liquid Pearls or adhesive bling and add pearls of color in the centers of the snowflakes.

Add red and black glitter glue to outline Santa's outfit.

Glue to the center of your tag. Cut a strip of paper and cut it into a banner shape. Glue to the back of the tag. Tie a bow using dyed seam binding and your tag's done!


Once again I am participating in Tim Holtz's Christmas tags!
Here's my take on today's tag.

Christmas Tag Tutorial #3

Hello friends!

It's number 3 today of my 12 days of Christmas tags!

For this tag you start by printing and cutting out this vintage card image.

Now take a manila tag or cut a tag shape to 3 x 6, and a couple scraps of christmas paper. I used Cosmo Cricket's Mr Claus snowflake pattern.

Cut and glue paper to the top and bottom of tag.

Cut another piece of scrapbook paper to fit the center of the tag. I tore the paper along the bottom to give it a more aged look.

Take Vintage Photo Distress Ink and ink around the edges of the tag.

Take a white gel pen and draw stitch lines around the edge of the tag.

Cut a strip of wide lace ribbon the size of your tag.

Glue to the center of the tag.

Take red glitter glue to add sparkle around the vintage image.

Now take pink crepe paper and scrunch it up and add along the bottom of tag.

Add ribbon along the top edge of the crepe paper.

Now glue the image down to the center of the tag. I added a Martha Stewart doily to the upper left corner. Then add a pink flower to the image.

Take a paper snowflake and glued to the lower right corner and added a stick pen through the ribbon on the tag and centered it in front of the snowflake.

Add pink ribbon to the top of your tag. I used pink dyed seam binding.

It's done!

I just love the vintage card I used for this tag! I would love to have some of the cute tree ribbon from the card! Cute!

Christmas Tag Tutorial #2

Hello friends!

Here is the second of my Twelve Tags of Christmas.

A tree shaped tag!

I started by cutting out a tree shape on to cardstock. Punch a small hole at the top for your ribbon.

I then took Tim Holtz snowflake tissue tape and covered the tag.

You can find his tissue tape at most craft stores. You could also stamp snowflakes across the tag.

Now cut off the excess tape.

Ink the tag lightly with red ink.

Fan fold a small strip of paper to create a paper rosette.

Glue rosette to the lower center of the tag.

Then cut a small paper scallop for the center of the rosette.

Tie red ribbon through the top of the tag and tie into a bow.

Add a Christmas sentiment to the center of the rosette and glue chunky white glitter around the edges of the tag. I used Martha Stewart's Snow glitter.

It's done!

I hope you try making a shaped tag!



Wishing you a lovely Tuesday, Lindsey

Christmas Tag #1

Hello friends!

Today is the beginning of my 'Twelve Days of Christmas' tag series!
All of my tags will have a similar theme of the colors red and pink!

Here is tag number one!

First, start by printing and cutting out this sweet vintage image.

I am using a manila tag that measures 3" x 6". I inked it with Vintage Photo Distress Ink to look aged. 2 strips of red cardstock punched with a Martha Stewart border punch are glued to the ends of a piece of scrapbook paper by October Afternoon and glued to the center of the tag. Glue the image onto the tag but don't put glue all the way to the edges as you will be tucking in embellishments under the edge of her dress.

I cut a white paper scallop and adhered a scalloped sticker from October Afternoon to the center. Add a Christmas sentiment to the center and glue scallop to the tag, tucking underneath her dress and arm.

To add more detail, I used red glitter glue to outline the inner scallop. I recommend Martha Stewart's Glitter glue.

I then took mini adhesive white pearls and added them around the red scallop.

I took a snowflake button (found at Hobby Lobby) tied with a pink bow and glued it between the dress and scallop. Another strip of red cardstock punched with a border punch was added along the bottom. I also used a white gel pen to add stitch lines around the edge of the tag.

A sparkly little chipboard poinsettia finishes off the bottom of the tag.

Add a bow to the top of the tag to finish it.

I made my bow by dying seam binding with Spun Sugar distress ink.

If you would like some of the seam binding but don't want to make it yourself, check out our etsy shop where I have listed this some in our Sugar Kissed colors.

I hope you have enjoyed this tutorial!



Wishing you a lovely day, Lindsey
