Basic Christmas/Themed Gift Tags

These tags are pretty basic, so I just decided to group them together.

The Orange 'T' was made for my niece, who was just accepted into the University of Tennessee. I'm very proud of her!!! The 'T' was cut using the Varsity Letters cartridge. The back is a white 'T' which I cut out separately. I just used a hole punch to put the white rick-rack through.

The Fleur Di Les was cut from the Wild Card cartridge. I used black and silver metallic chalk to make the border slightly more elegant, and the 'peace' sentiment is a stamp. The tag itself I cut with a guillotine cutter and rounded the corners with a corner punch. I used a basic circle hole punch for the ribbon.

The cross was cut from the Easter cartridge. I used gold sparkle glue to jazz it up a bit, and once again I used a tiny whole punch to put the ribbon through.

Little Red Locomotive

The little red locomotive gift tag was inspired by my 5 yr. old nephew's love of trains.

I cut the red locomotive engine from the My World cartridge using textured paper, and instead of using the wheel cuts for the train engine, I used green glittery buttons.

I cut the actual tag out of a blue paper with white specs to give the tag a flurry snow look, and used the Tags, Bags, Boxes and More Cartridge for the tag.

The smoke swirls were cut from the Create a Critter cartridge. The gray paper was a very light shade of gray, so I took black chalk and chalked over the seperate swirls before attaching them. Then I used a metallic silver chalk over the black to give the swirls a smokey look.

Once again the picture does not do the tag justice, but the sheen of the smoke swirls turned out really cool. I chose the metallic pewter colored ribbon to match the train smoke.

 The sentiment is just a stamp on striped paper, and I used a corner punch to round the corners. I was quite thrilled about how well the gift tag turned out!
