Christmas Tags

Today I'm happy to share two tags that I made for Challenge 23 at Papercraft Star! This is my first post as a new Design Team member and I'm so excited to hang out with such talented designers! If you aren't familiar with the site, head on over to take a look. The challenges are so much fun and everyone who participates gets to vote on the winner! Many weeks there are prizes to be won graciously donated by our wonderful sponsors and there is always a ton of inspiration! Have you seen Cecilia's tag yet? Love it!!

For the first tag above, I chose a fun color combo of aqua, silver, and pink and added lots of shimmer. The ornaments were stamped, embossed and stickled, cut out and adhered to the tag with foam squares to give them lots of punch. I outlined the edge of the cream panel with glue from a 2-way glue stick and sprinkled glitter for even more shimmer.

I chose a more traditional color palette for this second tag. Again, I stamped, cut, and popped up the ornament but this time I used distress ink around the edges to give a vintage feel to the tag.

Good luck with the challenge and most of all...have fun!
