October 2013 Blog Hop ~ Tag 2

This month we thought we would challenge you to get a head start and create a quick set of five gift tags. 

I LOVE this tag. I really love the new Tag Sale #8. I wasn't sure I needed it but I love the style and the ease of making shaker tags (later posts)

I just got Peaceful Pinecones this summer and it has become one of my favorites. It is so pretty!

I used Pinefeather ink. My New Leaf is still the old formulation and I have noticed I am getting mottled stamping so I do need to replace that pad. I still used it but not all of my images are a crisp as I would like!

The little pinecone image is from Peaceful Pinecones.

Did you see Heather Nichols Halloween Tag post?

I LOVE her little tags. So, I did what most self respecting stampers do ~ I copied it! But, I used it for Christmas tags! How awesome are tags made with the Notched Star Banner Die? AWESOME, right???

The Merry and Bright image got a lot of use for my tags. It is just a pretty stamp.

You cannot see it very well but I do have button twine on the green ones and bakers twine on the red ones. It is just neatly threaded on the back, under the oval image.

Whew! 9 tag sets! I have been working on them since I got my order this month. I loved this challenge. I really did make something out of my comfort zone. but, no longer! I am a Shaker Tag making fool, now!!!

Thank you for looking at my blog!

These tags almost make me squeal with delight. I all my stamping years I never made a shaker anything. I just never have done it. I will be doing it a lot, now! Tag Sale #6!!!

Pure Poppy pattern pack was used for the top piece. I used the Awesome Star image from 2013 Holiday tag set. I had a bag of little plastic beads my sister Pat, *Hi Pat*, gave me to use for filler. They are a bit to big, they kind of get stuck but I like the look. I used red glass glitter and some red sequins! 

CUTE!!!

I really did have fun making these tags. I actually had fun making all of my tags!

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this set of tags! Again Tag Sale #6 makes AWESOME tags! The paper is from Pure Poppy pattern pack. It is the inside from making my Christmas Shaker (next post)

The joy is from One Liners die set. I just trimmed it out, covered it with glue and glittered it! SO PRETTY!!!

The adorable holly is the medium cut from Holly Jolly die set. I used Rouge Liquid Pearls for the berries.

Seriously, how cute is this tag? the To/From is from the 2013 holiday tag set.

More Fancy Flakes. This time I used the large one solo with a 2013 tag image in the center. I don't show a picture of it but I adhered a white Limitless Layers: 2 1/4" Oval cut on the back to give it a finished look and for a place to write on. The lighting is really bad on this set. The red isn't as dark as it shows. 

After I adhered the oval image I glittered the snow flake/ I think you can see it!

These are really pretty!

Thank you for looking at my blog!

October Blog Hop ~ Tag #5

One of my faves! Because I LOVE Damask Snowflake and the Pinecone image from the 2013 Holiday tag set!

I mentioned in another post I am having trouble with my New Leaf ink pad. I should have replaced it but you don't notice the problem until you stamp images that are more solid  . I used it anyway! 

Makes a pretty tag, right?

Thank you for looking at my blog!

I LOVE Dawn's Damask Snowflake. Last year and again this year I have made literally HUNDREDS of stacked, glittered snowflakes, embellishing them with various images. The new Fancy Flakes are quickly catching up with the Damask set. The thing I appreciate most is the size. 

The 2 smaller sizes can be accents for other projects. That is so nice.

 

These Spring Rain tags are made with Tag Sale #8, Fancy Flakes and the Menorah Medley Mini Stamp Set.

I used the small frame from Fabulous Frames Die set. I love how the edges are slightly rounded rather then just a strip I had cut.

Thank you for looking at my blog!
