Gift Card Holder Tag

For this tag, I sprayed a chipboard tag with Tim Holtz Wild Plum Color Wash and dried it with a heat gun.  I cut cream cardstock to make the gift card pocket and white cardstock for the sentiment.  Then I decorative punched all four corners of both papers.  I stamped the sentiment and then sponged it and inked the edges with milled lavender Tim Holtz Distress Ink.  I handmade the three flowers with white paper, purple and yellow chalk and pearl dots.  I added a dragonfly and then some 'flight' detail with a white pen.  I added a ribbon to the tag hole and placed an ACMoore gift card in the pocket.

Card Tag

For this tag, I cut, scored and folded sparkly green heavy cardstock because it matched wonderfully with my Tinkerbell image.  I stamped the image on white cardstock and hand colored it with grey, yellow, light blue and light green Marvy markers.  I used a shading technique on the wings of the image and put Diamond Stickles to the swirl coming from the wand.  I adhered the image to a sanded piece of pink cardstock and then adhered it to the card tag.  I then added the sentiment and ribbon.

Accordion Tag

For this tag, I made it into a 4-panel accordion by using a 12x12 single sheet of blue heavy cardstock.  I cut it to tag height, scored and folded it. I cut a sheet of sandpaper using wavy decorative scissors.  Then I scored and folded the sandpaper and attached it to the panels to look like sand for a continuous beach scene.  I used my Gypsy (for the first time) to cut out the words, "Spring Break", on the Cricut Create.  I inked all edges of the words with Tim Holtz Distress Ink.  I adhered flat and dimensional stickers and die cuts to create the beach scene.  Then I added ribbon to each of the tag holes.

Steampunk Tag

I was really lost at how to create a 'Steampunk' tag.  My first thought was that I needed to go to the store and buy stuff for this one.  Then I read over the instructions again and these words jumped out at me - "Use your stash...don't run out to the LSS and purchase items...! Improvise. Be unique."  So I went looking through all of my supplies and this is what I came up with.  I found a paper pad that someone gave to me that I just knew I would never use and pulled out this sheet of paper.  I figured since it had a keyhole on it already that it would work with the key embellishment that I had to use.  Well, since one of the embellishments had to be metal, I used an old jewelry box key.  I stamped a small heart image on black cardstock, heat embossed it with silver powder, cut it out by hand and adhered it to the black keyhole.  My thought here was - key to my heart.  Then I was on the hunt for a pointing hand.  Didn't remember ever seeing such a thing in my supplies.  Well in the school section of my scraprack, I found a pointing hand sticker - yes!  Wasn't sure where to place it on the tag, but when I saw the letter B already on the paper, I put it next to the letter and thought "be that way" - seemed right to me.  Okay now what?  Continued looking, found the eyeglass stickers and thought "this might work".  I put one pair on the tag and then decided that they needed to 'pop'.  I surely couldn't peel them off without messing up the paper so I added pop-dots and put the other pair on top.  Then I found the 3 black epoxy arrow stickers and thought "they'll have to do".  I inked all edges of the tag and then sponged some places with black soot Tim Holtz Distress Ink.  I adhered the paper tag to a chipboard tag.  Then I added ribbon to the tag hole.  Whew - I'm done!  Not yet, I added Glossy Accent to the glass part of the eyeglasses sticker.  It made them look more realistic.  Now, I am done!

Masking Tag

For this tag, I made 2 bees and a bee hive die cut stickers with the Cricut Create from the Walk in My Garden cartridge using repositionable adhesive paper.  Then I adhered the die cuts to cream cardstock and sprayed with two different colors of Glimmer Mist.  I inked the lines of the bee hive with brown ink and peeled off the die cut stickers.  Then I used brown marker to add detail to the bees.  I sprayed it again with another Glimmer Mist.  I then stamped 'Be Happy" onto the tag and inked all the edges of the tag using Tim Holtz Distress Ink.  I added 2 dimensional flower stickers, a rub-on border near the bottom and 5 gems under that.  Then I put Glossy Accents on the bees.  I adhered the paper tag to a chipboard tag and added ribbon to the hole.

Nostalgic Tag

For this tag, I used gray cardstock as the base and then paper printed with writing for the paper tearing technique. I then used black soot Tim Holtz Distress Ink to ink all the edges of both papers.  I added a dimensional pocket watch sticker, a silver eyelet for the hole, a black ribbon bow made with the Bow Easy, rub-on numbers, and a photo of my grandparents in 1943 (the year that they got married).  I then adhered the paper tag to a chipboard tag and added ribbon to the hole.
