Hi all,
LeAnne is hostess for Clean & Simple week at the Paper Players. The added parameter is to make a tag. I went round and round in my mind with different ideas and then I couldn't decide if I wanted to make just tags or make a card featuring a tag. In the end, I decided on just tags, because I can always use them for gift wrapping.
I made three graphic style tags using a cute Gina K Designs stamp set from last year.
The tag die is also from Gina K Designs. There are three sizes in the set and I've used the middle size here. After stamping the words, I used Masking Magic strips to create areas to blend inks for the graphic design part. The strips come in half inch, quarter inch and eighth inch widths, and I used all of them.
The backs of all three are finished exactly the same:
Here are pictures of the individual tag fronts.

I quite like the way these turned out.
TGIF tomorrow.
Enjoy!
Colleen

What a perfect little set of tags, Colleen! I love those bright summery colours - even on 'Let it Snow'! :-) I love the way you've created the strips and then again the way you've used Holiday icons to replace letters. Maybe that's how the stamp just is but even so, I like it. Thanks for sharing with us at The Paper Players. It's always a pleasure to see you in the gallery.
ReplyDeleteWhat cute tags, Colleen! I love the bright and cheery colors you used. The result is fun and fresh. I am so glad you shared these with The Paper Players!
ReplyDeleteSuper fun tags, Colleen! Love the bright colors and the modern, graphic look you achieved, it goes well with the style of the sentiments, with their cute icons. Thanks so much for joining in over at The Paper Players this week!
ReplyDeleteWow! These are fabulous! I confess that I don't make many gift tags because I can't stand the thought that they'll be in the trash in five seconds, LOL! But yours are little works of art, just delightful! Thanks so much for sharing your creativity with us at the Players this week!
