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.

To make the tag, stamp the skating image and "Season's Greetings" with Black Versafine Ink and Clear Embossing Powder on watercolor paper, use a Heat tool set the powder. 

With a water brush paint the ice (light blue) and the background (white). The mica paints will have a beautiful shine when the tag is moved. Let the paints dry.  I don't use a heat to dry the watercolors as it may affect the embossed ink image. 

Die cut the watercolored stamped image and the teal paper tag. Adhere the image on the tag. Cut a mat from the teal paper for "Season's Greetings".  Mount the sentiment with dimensional foam. 

Add ribbons and embellish with gems!!!  Now you are ready to dress up any bag, even a brown bag!!!  Don' wait until the last minute, have a few on hand JUST IN CASE!

Mini Vintage Gift Cards!

 Hi Blank Page Muse Stamps Fans!

Hope you are all enjoying our "Vintage" theme this month and that you have been able to join our current challenge - there is still time to play along!

Today I am sharing some mini gift cards - you may remember a few months ago I created some cards with paint chip sample backgrounds and collage elements - well I really hate throwing out even the tiniest of scraps so I decided to use the excess paint chip pieces and make some similar cards but on a very small scale! Great for using up scraps of plain coloured card too!

I love that you can also use this idea for mini cards for any occasion!

Supplies:

Blank Page Muse Stamps: Background Grunge Set

Scrap Card any Colour cut to size and folded in half

Paint Chip Sample Off Cuts cut to just smaller than mini card front

Embossing Pad & Embossing Powder

Collage Images - "Art Tea Life" collage Sheet used for these cards

Small Embellishments & String, Ribbon or Fibre

General: scissors, glue, ruler, heat gun, hole punch

Instructions:

Use your scrap base card to make mini cards that are slightly smaller than your scrap paint chip samples.

Start by stamping and embossing your paint chip samples.

Adhere the stamped and embossed paint chip to your mini card front and punch a hole n the top corner.

Add a small collage image and small stamped sentiment and any tiny embellishments.

Punch a hole in the top corner of the mini card and add some string, ribbon or fibre to use to attach to your gift or xmas tree!

Thanks for joining me today and I hope 2021 brings you lots of time for crafting!

Have fun creating!

Sharon

Make a Wish........

Hello Blank Page Muse Stamps Fans!!!

Here we are already into the new year!

Are you enjoying our "Happy Birthday" theme so far this month?

A great theme to start 2020 with lots of inspirational ways to use your BPM Stamps!

I'm particularly excited because January is my birthday month so I've been having a lot of fun creating my blog posts!

Today I am sharing some gift tags using BPM Stamps and some quirky collage elements. I love that these have a rustic and sort of messy feel to them.

Not only do these tags fir perfectly with our challenge theme this month but can also be adapted for Xmas and any other occasion - "Making a Wish" really relates to any occasion and we can always do with a guardian angel!

Hope you enjoy my post today!

Supplies:
Blank Page Muse Stamp: "Make a Wish" from Dandelion Wishes with Butterflies Stamp Set
Blank Page Muse Stamp: "Stars"
Collage Angels: Art Tea Life Collage Sheet used for these Tags
Manila Tags
Chalk Paints
Embossing Ink & Gold Embossing Powder
Black Archival Ink Pad & Scrap White Textured Paper
General: heat gun, scissors, glue, spatula
Extras: Smooch Gold Ink, Scrap muslin or gauze, ribbon or twine

Instructions:

Gather your bits & pieces - grab multiples and make several tags in the one sitting!

Start by painting the tags. Use a spatula to scrape "blobs" of the coloured chalk paints onto the background.  Allow to dry. Note: I love using a spatula because I am too lazy to clean a paintbrush and I love the messy rustic look!

Using the embossing ink pad and star stamp on the tag backgrounds emboss with gold powder. No need to be neat! Use the black archival ink pad to stamp "Make a Wish" onto white paper and tear out.

Edge the tags with gold Smooch and allow to dry. Arrange the collage angels, wording and gauze on the tags and adhere with glue. Tie a piece of ribbon or twine to the tag tops and you are done!

Happy Stamping!

Sharon

Butterfly Love...

Hi Everyone!

I hope you have all been enjoying the DT makes this month and getting some ideas and inspiration for layering on your creations!

Today I am sharing some mini "moo" sized gift cards - perfect for attaching to little gifts!

They are quick and easy to make and you can use any Blank Page Muse stamps you have on hand ad you can make them any size you like - I like the mini size - they are nice and cute and they were perfect for my little jar of bath salts!

Supplies:

Blank Page Muse Stamp Set: Heart of Nature Butterflies Bees by Donna Gray
Blank Page Muse Stamp: "Love" word Dandelion Wishes Set or ay other little word stamp
Embossing Pad and fine Black & White Embossing Powder
Black card - cut to 140mm x 28mm plus extra black card
Scrap of painty card - cut to 66mm x 25mm
Small piece of white card/paper to glue inside gift card for writing greeting
Embellishments: string/twine and small piece muslin
Tools: heat gun, ruler, scissors, knife, glue, double sided tape or glue stick, hole punch

Instructions:

Cut your black background card to size and score in the middle and fold in half.

Cut your "painty" card to just smaller than the front of the base cards so when it is ready to adhere it leaves a nice black border around the outside.



Next step is to stamp and emboss all the card elements. Use the garland flowers to stamp on the painty card with theblack embossing powder. Stamp the small butterfly onto black card and emboss with white powder and fussy cut. Stamp the "love" word onto black card and emboss in white and free hand cut the word.

Glue the embossed painty card to the gift card front and then arrange and glue your butterfly, muslin cloth and word to the front.

Use a small hole punch and punch a hole in the top corner of the card to attach twine.

Hope you have enjoyed my embossed and layered gift tags - a perfect way to personalise your gifts - even better if your gifts are also handmade!!



Have a wonderful week!
Happy stamping!

Sharon
