Birthday Tags

I love making tags, so pulled out these Topper Tag dies by Karen Burniston to make these Birthday tags for our daughter.  They looked so nice tied to the gifts, which had coordinating colours in the giftware.

I bought this birthday themed washi tape from Pinkfresh Studios last year (or the year before?) and added the whole role to panels of white card stock. You could also get coordinating dies to cut out the washi tape images as well as a coordinating stamp set that would also work with the dies. I didn't actually buy anything but the washi tape though and simply fussy cut the panels as needed.

Since there is some gold foiling on the washi tape, I added some narrow gold tape to the tags as well.

Supplies used:

Topper Tags - Karen Burniston

Narrow gold foil tape - Amazon .ca

Seam binding

Washi tape - Pinkfresh Studio

Blue & Kraft Scottie Birthday Cards

Hello my crafty friends. Awhile ago I was wanting to finish up a Paper Pumpkin kit, which is where the navy ovals and botanical printed labels came from. I didn't like them with the colours in the kit, so saved them to use on different cards. They worked great for these birthday cards, which will be donated to my Mom's old nursing home.

I didn't add a sentiment on the front, since the whole embossed panel says Happy Birthday over and over. While this set comes with a punch for one of the dogs, I didn't use that image so fussy cut the ones on the front.

Sparkly Dog Gift Tag

Hello my crafty friends. I'm back today with another gift tag using the Wrap It Up dies & stamps from Pigment Craft Co. I also pulled in a bunch of stuff from my craft room - the dog is from a no-longer-around company called Paper Smooches. It was stamped then covered with some double sided adhesive then Silk Microfine Glitter from Elizabeth Craft Designs. Several years ago I made a bunch of these, so ... time to use one up at least.

I had just received my order from Studio Katia with their 'Simply Hi' items and had also ordered the Iridescent Ice Flakes. The larger ones will make great toppers for party hats, so I added one here. 

The blue polka dot paper was just a partial sheet so I got to use that up too. I added a dot of silver Stickles into each of the white spots for Birthday sparkle and shine.

I didn't realize the stamping was a little crooked until I was editing the photos ... oops!

Treat Yourself Tag

Hello my crafty friends!  Today I'm sharing the tag I made to add to a white gift bag for a family member who's celebrating a Birthday.  I had the patterned paper out since I'd used it to create another Sheetload of Cards, and thought it would make a cute tag. Then I pulled out stamps & dies from Pigment Craft Co.

The gift is some lovely teas from David's Tea and also one of her favs - dark chocolate Salted Caramels. They wrapped the chocolates for me at the shop, but the teas went into the white gift bag. I thought the 'Treat Yourself' was perfect!

Gold & Black Tag

Hello my crafty friends!  Today I'm sharing another gift tag using mostly supplies I bought from Pigment Craft Co when they were having their Canada Day sale. Love the size and shape of this tag - so different! I cut it from gold foiled paper (free with purchase from Stampin' Up during SALEabration).  I cut the tag again from white card stock and offset the two tags.

The gold pearl cardstock was sitting on my stamping table - it was just a partial sheet. Also close to me was the (retired) Garden Greenhouse from Stampin' Up so I cut some leaves using those dies. The stamped rectangle needed a little pop, so I die cut one of Karen Burniston's Border Blends from black card stock and tucked that up underneath for a cute scalloped look. Since I can't link the pearlized gold I used, I found others I can link for you.

The sequins & gems are from Studio Katia and there are gold gel pen highlights on the stamped sentiment.

Strawberry Tag

Hello my crafty friends. I've been having fun making tags these days, so here is another one using supplies from Pigment Craft Co.  I love the large size of this strawberry set and this was my first play with it. While I had everything out, I stamped and die cut 4 strawberries so I have more to create with.

The top photo shows the glitter from the Wink of Stella, but of course it's better in real life. The gift is for a friend, and I'm giving her a set of hand-made cards.

Tag Duo

Hello my crafty friends.  I have two long posts coming tomorrow (Karen Burniston's Designer Challenge AND the August Sheetload of Cards). Thus today's share is a quick one. I don't share a lot of my tags here but since I had nothing else for today I thought it would be better than nothing. 😊

I used dies from Pigment Craft Co, but the pony stamp is from Honey Bee. The plaid patterned paper was a partial 6x6" sheet in the package, and I was able to use that piece up on these two tags, which will be for my stash. Since I can't link that retired paper for you I found a few others that would also work.    

I did some outlining with a gold gel pen and also added some gold leafing along the torn plaid paper edge. You know I love a little sparkle & shine!

Panda Tag

Hello! Today I'm sharing another tag ... this one is for our Grandson Zachary who LOVES Panda's. This tag is larger than most and I started with a piece of card stock that measured 3 x 6". I trimmed off each top corner to give me the tag shape then added a slightly smaller piece of brightly patterned paper. I made this tag back in December, but I was sharing holiday cards. Now I have those large Slimline Tag dies (both the LOVE and the CELEBRATE) from Crafty Meraki and will be using those to die cut my tag bases going forward.

I decided to personalize the tag with my label maker! NOTE:  Panda die doesn't cut out completely, instead it only cuts the ears, eyes and nose/mouth out. So if you cut it from white card stock, you can back the openings with black for a quick and easy Panda Face on your card panel. To use it like an embellishment though, you need to fussy cut it away from the card panel which I did here.

I was so happy with this tag, I stood it on my shelving unit across from where I stamp where it made me smile every time I was in my craft room working. I know Zachary is going to love it as well, when his birthday rolls around.

Supplies:

Various card stocks

Panda die - Neat & Tangled

Patterned paper - Over the Rainbow, Recollections

Cactus Birthday Tag

Hello!  Today I'm sharing a sweet cactus tag that I made to go with my hubby's Birthday gift last month. I bought two sizes of white gift bags several years ago and like to have a bright and colourful tag to tie onto those bags. (Hubby's gift bag contained books).

I really like this stitched tag die set from Your Next Stamp, as well as their sentiments. The cactus set is from Lawn Fawn and coloured with Ohuhu alcohol markers. 

The patterned paper has pearlized bits in it, which I love. Since this was for a man I tried not to make it TOO sparkly. But ... a few clear sequins to catch the light and a TINY bit of Wink of Stella made me happy.

Cool Tag 6 - Your Next Stamp

Patterned paper - Cute Cute Cacti, Recollections

Monster Shaker Tag

Hello!  It's time for a new Challenge at Your Next Stamp - 

the Fun Friday Challenge #155 with the theme:  New Beginnings

The Fun Friday Challenges come with two chances to win prizes!!

Comment on the YNS Blog, Instagram or Facebook pages for a chance to win a free stamp set. Comment on all three to increase your chances, but comments must be left by January 13 2021. The winner will be announced the following Friday on the YNS Blog.

More details about the prizes at the end of my post!

How did I interpret this challenge? Well I didn't need any new baby, wedding, engagement or new home cards. But I DO want to make more tags in the coming year. Nice, layered and fun tags that people will enjoy and (hopefully) want to hang onto for a while. So I made a tag!

My friend Kelly had sent me some of these tiny googly eyes last year, so I added them to the stamped and coloured monster.  The shaker was created with the now famous Stitched Rectangle Frame Set and I used some older patterned paper from my stash.

To create my tag base, I cut card stock 3 x 5" then trimmed off the top corners. I cut a second backing piece as I like my tags nice and sturdy. Before adhering them together I did the stamping on the back one and sandwiched a strip of black card stock at the bottom edge, in between the layers. The sentiment had already been heat embossed with white powder.

 The Fun Friday Challenge #155 runs through challenge runs through 

January 21st 2021 at midnight EST.
