Pickle?

The Ornament Hunt

My  family has a Christmas ornament tradition. Every year one person buys ornaments for every family member. The ornament must some how relate to that individual, and are hidden on the tree for each person to hunt.

This year I picked out everyone's ornaments and decided to create tags for them. I also introduced my Boyfriends family to the tradition. His sister LOVES pickles, so when I saw a pickle ornament when I was out and about, I just started laughing and had to get it for her!! This is why I created the pickle tag.

I cut the tag itself using a guillotine paper cutter, and I used a line hole punch for the ribbon hole, as well as a corner punch for the corners. The phrase was cut from the Just Because Card cartridge, then I took green glitter glue and glittered it up. I also hand-made the squiggly line under the sentiment.

Merry Christmas Tag

This tag was inspired by my sis, Angie. :) I used a Friskars Circle cutting tool to cut out the tag itself and used a double line hole punch for the ribbon hole.

Using the Wild Card cartridge, I cut each individual branch and the "Merry Christmas"  sentiment. Once I mounted everything on, I took white glitter glue and made all the white icons glittery. I really loved how it turned out!!

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.

Christmas Grill

This tag was inspired by my brother-in-law, who loves his grill!! The tag was cut from Tags, Bags, Boxes and More cartridge. The grill and the spatula was cut from the From My Kitchen cartridge, and I pop-dotted them to the tag after wrapping the Christmas Lights garland around the grill. I was very pleased with how it turned out!!

Gingerbread Man


The Gingerbread man and the rolling pin were cut using the From My Kitchen cartridge. I used a sticker maker to make him sticky and then covered him in brown glitter.

The tag was cut from the Tags, Bags, Boxes, and More cartridge. If you look closely you can see the green and white bakers twine wrapped around the first layer of paper. The sentiment "yummy" is stamped on a sticker, and everything was pop-dotted. I was really happy with how this tag turned out!! :)

More Christmas tags

Each of these tags were cut using the Very Merry Tags cartridge. I added snowflakes cut from the Martha Stewart border and corner punches, and decided to glitter some up. For the Santa tag, I used gold foil for the moon.

  
 


It's simple, but cute!! I hope you like!!!

Sugar Buzz!

For this tag, I cut the little rectangles with a guillotine paper cutter, and used a corner punch to round the edges. I also used a punch for the ribbon hole.

I embossed the mint green paper with the Sizzex candy folder. The "Sugar Buzz!" sentiment is a stamp. The candy was cut from the Joys of the Season Cartridge. To jazz it up a bit I used pink glitter on the candy and made my own little glitter dots on the white paper. I hope you like it!!!
