My First Tags

Hello Scrappers and Friends! I love trying new things. My friend Suzy on Facebook is always messaging me with new things to try, she's pretty amazing! One thing I have seen ladies showing on YouTube is tags. They are gorgeous! I figured I would give it try. I'm thinking I can use them for embellishments on scrapbook pages or even tags for gifts.

Here is my first tag. I used my Tim Holtz distress inks and blending tool to do the back grounds on both of these tags. I then used some stamp sets I had to do the "wonderful fabulous you", the checked pattern and the silver faded image. These stamps are from Close To My Heart. I love their stamps! The butterfly is a punch I have and I just inked the edges with ink then I used one of my spray inks to do the purple color. The rope is something I had on hand as well. The silver stamp that is faded in the background is actually embossed using some silver embossing powder and my heat tool. You can do so many different tags using whatever you have its unlimited! I cut the tags out on my Cricut using Design Space.

Here is another tag I did using the same items, just different stamps and colors.I also used my Crop a Dile to hold the twine and ribbon to hang the tags. These again are the Close To My Heart stamps as well.

Can't wait to do more! Hope this gets you inspired to break out your distress inks and play! Thanks for looking and remember to have a splendid crafty time!
