Hello Crafty Friends! Welcome to Tag Theme Week! It is Hanh here with you today. I am so excited to share some fun Christmas tags that I have made using the Stitched Rounded Rectangle Dies. I love making tags just as much as making cards. They are such a fun way to add just a little pizzazz or cuteness to a gift. 

Tags can be created with just about any die but I especially love using nesting dies since they can be used as mats or to create windows and frames. The Stitched Rounded Rectangles Dies were just the perfect set of dies to create the 3 Christmas tags I have to share today.

Merry Christmas! My first tag is a clean and simple one featuring the adorable penguin from the Penguin Friends set. I stamped the images from the Penguin Friends stamp set onto a piece of Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and used the Penguin Friends coordinating dies to diecut them out. I colored with Copic markers and highlighted with a white gel pen.

COPIC COLORS:
Penguin: T3/4/5/7, W00/0/1, Y38 YR04, R20
Hat: R14/24/29, C1/3
Trees: YG01/03/25/17

I used the Stitched Rounded Rectangles Dies to diecut a tag of white cardstock and a slightly larger one out of red cardstock. I stamped the “Merry Christmas” sentiment from the Sentiment Strips: Christmas stamp set directly onto the panel with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I lightly ink blended some Spun Sugar Distress Oxide ink to the background for a bit of color. I adhered the white and red tag and used a hole puncher to punch a hole through both layers. I adhered the colored images and added a little bell and twine from my stash to complete the tag.

Have a Holly Jolly Christmas! My second tag is a simple Santa themed one. I used the Stitched Rounded Rectangles Dies to diecut a tag out of red cardstock. I used the Christmas Bucket Additions Dies to diecut the Santa belt and fluffy trims out of colored cardstock. 

I stamped the “Have a Holly Jolly Christmas” sentiment from the Sentiment Strips: Christmas stamp set directly onto the Santa suit trim with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I adhered the Santa suit parts onto the red tag as seen in the photos and highlighted with a white gel pen. I used a hole puncher to punch a hole through both layers. I added a little bell and twine from my stash to complete the tag.

Merry Christmas! For my final tag, I used the Reindeer Holder Dies, Christmas Holder Additions Dies (hat + snowflakes) and Christmas Bucket Additions Dies (cheeks + hooves) to diecut the reindeer and snowflakes out of colored cardstock. I assembled the reindeer and hat as seen in the photos and highlighted with a white gel pen. 

I taped two dies from the Stitched Rounded Rectangles Dies together and used them to diecut a frame out of red cardtosck. I used the larger of the two dies to diecut a tag out of white cardstock. I lightly ink blended the tag with some Spun Sugar Distress Oxide ink. I used a hole puncher to punch a hole on the top of the white tag. 

I stamped the “Merry Christmas” sentiment from the Christmas Gingerbread stamp set onto a piece of white cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and used the Christmas Gingerbread coordinating dies to diecut it out. I adhered the red frame, snowflakes, reindeer and sentiment to the tag with a combo of liquid glue and foam tape for a bit of dimension and interest. I added a little bell and twine from my stash to complete the tag.

I appreciate you taking the time to stop by and visit today. I hope you liked my Christmas tags and are inspired to create some of your own. Be sure to head on over to the Pretty Pink Posh Shop to check out all of the fun dies that can be used to create tags.

Have a wonderful and crafty day!

To begin, I created a simple nighttime sky by ink blending Chipped Sapphire, Blueprint Sketch, and Tumbled Glass Distress Oxides. I sprayed the panel with water and added white acrylic paint splatters for a little extra texture. 

Next, I die cut an arched window from A2 white cardstock using the Stitched Windows 2 Set. On the negative panel, I used the Windowpane Plaid Stencil to create a subtle pinstripe wallpaper background. I adhered the panel over A2 sized acetate, followed by the arched window frame. 

I flipped the panel over and, using a palette knife, added a little “frost” to the corners of the windowpanes with Opaque Matt Texture Paste (a little goes a long way!). I set the panel aside to dry.

I die cut the reindeer and accessories from the Reindeer Holder die set, along with greenery from Pine Sprigs and Holiday Mugs Additions Set, from white cardstock. I ink blended the pieces with the following Distress Oxides:

Reindeer- Tea Dye, Gathered Twigs
Ear Muffin Band- Festive Berries
Present- Cracked Pistachio 
Pine Sprigs, Hollies– Rustic Wilderness, Mowed Lawn, Bundled Sage, Festive Berries

The earmuffs were die cut from white glitter cardstock, and I added rosy cheeks to the reindeer with Spun Sugar Distress Oxide. I adhered the reindeer to the night sky background followed by the window acetate panel. 

I completed the card with a white heat embossed sentiment from Inside Sentiments: Christmas and a red bow from Beautiful Bows.

Thanks so much for joining me today. Be sure to check out all the new goodies from the October Release!

My white card base was the perfect, blank canvas to start piling on the supplies!  I used the Stitched Arches dies, selecting the largest arch and some tiny, polka dot patterned paper in Kraft. I then used the Windowpane Plaid Stencils to created my next layer, stenciling on a diagonal to add a fun twist! After a double scrunched seam binding bow, I added a smaller Stitched Arches die cut to add the the center.

My large maple leaf is from the Wide Leaf Shaker die set. I cut it from cranberry cardstock and then added Crackle Paste in a soft shimmer.  After the paste dried, I added some ink blending over the paste in Rusty Hinge ink.  This really accentuated the crackle. I cut a window from my leaf using a tiny maple leaf from the Fall Bucket Additions die set. I then added my crackled leaf to the center of my card.

Now for the fun!  I added ink-blended leaves, berries, and sunflowers from the Fall Holder Additions and Spring Foliage dies.  To finish, I used some shimmery adhesive gems and of course, Crystal Stickles Glitter.

Happy Fall to you all!

I started my card by creating my card panel with the Gingham stencil. This is the perfect background for all of your fall cards! I used the Acorn Shaker die to die cut my opening in the center of the panel. I backed the opening with acetate and added foam adhesive around the edges to create my shaker. I then cut the acorn pieces from fall cardstock colors and inlaid them back into the opening (directly onto the acetate). I filled the shaker with the Woodland Wishes shaker beads and used a piece of cream cardstock to close my shaker. Next, I added a few leaves that I die cut with the Stitched Leaves dies. I then stamped my sentiment with the Happy Fall set and die cut it with the coordinating dies. Lastly, I added some twine to a button and attached it to my card panel to finish my card.

Thanks for joining me today and I can’t wait to see what you create with these fun fall products.

Enjoy your day, Dana
