Christmas Gift Tags with Digital Images

 I love the Blank Page Muse digital Christmas Papers.  For those who like to give your gift wrapping a personal touch handmade gift tags are perfect. They can be used to decorate packages or gift bags. I like to have them made ahead of time, so they are ready to attach as I am gift wrapping.  Today I have eleven tags made with the Frosty Night Christmas Printable Papers and the Vintage Gingerbread Christmas Printable Papers.

Supplies from Blank Page Muse:

Frosty Night Christmas Printable Papers
Vintage Gingerbread Christmas Printable Papers (Candy Cane Paper)
Fancy Flourish Stencil

Other supplies
Ribbons
Lace
Gems

Any other embellishments on hand 
Astro Paste Tropical Tango
TCW Butter Paste Champagne Gold
Spatula
Wide tip Gold Sharpie
Crop-o-dile
Corner Chomper

I gathered items to use on my tags, ribbons, lace, gems, and paste that coordinated with the papers.

I first cut the papers the size of tags I desired, as you will see none of the tags are the same size.  The smaller tags were part of the paper collection and in the shape of a tag. The others are all pieces of the digital papers cut to size. I used the Corner Chomper to round the edges at the top of the tag and the Crop-o-dile to punch a hole in each tag.

Next using the Fancy Flourish Stencil add paste to the tags.  I use the Astro Paste Tropical Tango and TCW Butter Paste Champagne Gold. They complimented the paper beautifully. Let the paste dry. Once the paste was dry, I edged the tags that had the gold paste with a wide tip gold sharpie.

Once the paste was dry, I pulled out my lace trimmings and added a bit to the bottom of some of the tags. I had some die cut glitter foam from a previous project that they were perfect for the tags. 

Finally add ribbons to the tags!  

HERE ARE THE FINISHED TAGS!!!

Vintage Gingerbread Christmas Printable Papers, these have lace and red gems on them. 

 The remaining tags were made using the Frosty Night Christmas Printable Papers. The tags above are part of the fussy cut page, each tag has TCW Butter Paste Champagne Gold, with different die cut glitter foam embellishment and gems. The were edged with a wide tip gold Sharpie.

The tags above have Astro Paste Tropical Tango, with different die cut glitter foam embellishment and gems.

I layered a couple of the papers to make this tag, edged it with the wide tip gold Sharpie and added a bit of trim at the bottom and added a few flat back pearls.

The tags above have Astro Paste Tropical Tango. The tag on the left has fussy cut flowers, gems and lace. The tag on the right. Has the paste and gems.

Hope you are inspired to make your own tags this year.

Gift Bags for Fall

I love to take a small gift when I am invited to dinner, lunch, a small gathering to the host. It could be teas, coffee, chocolates depending on what the event is or who the host is.  When I take these gifts, I like to put them in a gift bag.  I used to only make my gift bags in a pinch when I did not have time to run to the store and pick a gift bag up.  Now I make them ahead and have them on hand.  I make them for all occasions, Birthdays, Christmas and host gifts.  Today I am using A Cozy Fall Harvest with a few tags from the At Home Fall Harvest digital paper collections for the Fall and Thanksgiving season. 

Other supplies:
Cropadile
Gold wide tip Sharpie
Adhesive
Bags
Ribbon

Twine

 

First, I fussy cut flowers, leaves from the A Cozy Fall Harvest and tags from the At Home Fall Harvest. 

Then I created tags for each of the bags with the fussy flowers, leaves and tags.  Using a cropadile punch a hole for the twine used to hang the tag from the handle of the bag!

You can recycle any for this project, I am covering the logos on them. If I would like specific colors I may pick up a package of small bags a the dollar store.  

I printed panels to adhere to the front of the bags and the tags coordinated with the panels. The gnome panel has a gnome tag.

The fox panel has a fox tag. The papers for the panels were digitally reduced in size to fit the bags. 

The sunflowers have a sunflower tag. Each tag has twine 

The pumpkins have a pumpkin tag. This panel also has a large mat as it will go on a larger bag. 

 

                      

                            

I will add a little tissue and a big bow. I wait to put the big bow on the bag until I am ready to use it for easy storage.  I cannot tell you the last time I bought gift wrap, except for tissue paper. 

Hope you enjoyed these gift bags.

Fall Harvest Sunflowers

I love sunflowers, the FALLHARVEST Junk Journal Papercrafts Digital Papers are full of sunflowers and pumpkins!  This collection of digital papers are beautiful Fall colors.  Great for card making and scrapbooking. To create the card today the images were resized digitally a couple of times.

Blank Page Muse Digi Paper and Stamps Used:
Digital Download Print at Home FALL HARVEST Junk Journal Papercrafts Paper Pack

Leaves Collage reusable plastic Stencil for handmade cardsand Journal pages BPMstLv

 

Other supplies
Tim Holtz Distress Gathered Twigs ink
Blending brush
Lunar Paste Refined Copper
Spatula
Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Spray Gathered Twigs
Cosmic Shimmer Airless Spray Meadow Moss
Master Board made with scrap paper on Watercolor paper
Thanks Die
Sunflower leaf die
Gems
Paper lace sticker

Create a master board. Use watercolor paper or other mixed media paper for the base.  Glue scraps of paper to the base.  Be sure all edges are secure. Then spray with Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Spray Gathered Twigs and Cosmic Shimmer Airless Spray Meadow Moss. 

When the spray is dry stencil with the Leaves Collage from Blank Page Muse. The stenciling is done with Lunar Paste Refined Copper on the master board.

I got out a couple of dies and my mini scout die cutting machine.  

Die cut Thanks! The thanks was cut from one of the digital pumpkins, then layered on a brown cardstock shadow.

I die cut leaf and from a couple of the tags from the digital collection. 

Fussy cut images you decide to use. I like to cut too many pieces than not enough for a card then I have choices. Once I start fussy cutting I cannot stop.

After all the images are fussy cut, distress with Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Spray Gathered Twigs, then you are ready to adhere images.   Even embellish the inside of the card too.

A fussy cut large sunflower and pumpkin with a couple of die cut leaves are inside this card.

On the front of the card there is a fussy cut tag at the bottom of the card. At the bottom of the card I added a strip of adhesive paper lace.  A dress was adhered with dimensional foam. The dress is surrounded by a couple of pumpkins, three different sizes of sunflowers, and a die cut leaf. Then the thanks was added to the front of the dress. 

Finally, a few gems were randomly glued for a little bling!

Hope you enjoyed this card.
