I recently participated in a tag swap so I had to make up some tags.
One batch was for Christmas, that I posted last week, and the second batch was for everyday things. Well
this is the everyday tag that I created for the swap. I really love the
Blooming with Kindness stamp set!
- Stamps: Blooming with Kindness, En Francais
- Card Stock: Wisteria Wonder, Whisper White, Elegant Eggplant
- Ink: Wisteria Wonder, Elegant Eggplant, Versamark
- Accessories: Clear embossing powder, Embossing Buddy, Heat Tool, Stampin’ Sponge, Beautiful Wings embosslit, Curly Label Punch, Rhinestones, Stampin’ Dimensionals, Crop-A-Dile, Whisper White Organza ribbon, Corner Rounder Punch
I started off by cutting a piece of Whisper White card stock 2-1/4” x
3-1/4” and a piece of Wisteria Wonder card stock 2-1/2” x 3-1/2”. I used the
Corner Rounder punch on both pieces of card stock to round the corners.
I stamped the En Francais background stamp onto the Whisper White card
stock in Wisteria Wonder ink, then sponged around the edges with more Wisteria
Wonder ink. Then I stamped the flower image from Blooming with Kindness on top
of the script in Versamark ink. I covered the stamped image with Clear
embossing powder, tapped off the excess, and heated it with the heat tool.
After the embossing cooled I sponged over the top of the flower in a swirling
motion with Elegant Eggplant ink. This really makes the flower stand out more.
I adhered this layer onto the Wisteria Wonder card stock.
I cut a piece of Elegant Eggplant card stock 3/8” x 2-1/2” and adhered
it across the bottom of the tag. I stamped the greeting from Blooming with
Kindness onto a scrap of Whisper White card stock in Elegant Eggplant ink and
punched it out with the Curly Label punch. I adhered the greeting label on top
of the Elegant Eggplant strip with a Stampin’ Dimensional.
I used the large hole on my Crop-A-Dile to punch the hole in the top of
the tag and threaded some Whisper White Organza ribbon through it. For one
finishing touch I pulled out the Whisper White butterflies from my scraps,
adhered them onto the tag, and added a small Rhinestone into the center.
I could easily see this tag being tied onto a bouquet of flowers or a
gift bag to show someone how much they are appreciated. I should make more tags
just to have on hand for when I need them.
Come back tomorrow to see the Christmas tag!
