November 2010 Papertrey Ink Blog Hop!

 November 2010 CHALLENGE:

Design a holiday tag or two using all of your favorite goodies and share it with all of us! 

I've made two designs for the Papertry Ink Challenge - one design for each of my sons. 

Both tag styles start with the Tag Sale #1 die cut in Kraft card stock and sponged with white ink. I chose the cute little images and sentiments from Tiny Treats: Christmas, stamped with Black Memento Ink and coloured with copic markers.  I then used the label die from Tea for Two to cut the images out.

Penguin -"Bundle of Fun"

This set of tags will go onto my youngest son's gifts - he loves everything outdoors - skiing, surfing, camping and hiking. 

I mounted the penguin image onto a red patterned paper that was stamped and cut with the Friendship Jar die and stamp set. After a cold day on the slopes, a cup of hot cocoa with marshmallows is always a great choice! (stamped with the image from  Friendship Jars Holiday Fillers.)  

Red dot sparkles were then added to the jar topper and the edges of the penguin die cut. Red and white striped ribbon finishes off the tag - ready for attaching to presents.

Gingerbread Man - "Sweetest Wishes"

 

This set of tags was made for my older son - he loves all things sweet, and each Christmas the gingerbread house, candies and cookies disappear very quickly !! 

I started with the same Kraft tag and then stamped the "Homemade gingerbread" sentiment from the Friendship Jars Holiday Fillers over the tag. The coloured gingerbread image was mounted onto red gingham fabric (couldn't find gingham paper) and then an embroidery stitch on my sewing machine was used to create the frame around the edge. 

A green felt and red rhinestone holly embellishment was added to the top of the tag and then finished off with the cute gingerbread and candy cane ribbon  tied with Pure Poppy baker's twine.
