December Grab Bag - Festive Christmas Tags Project December 10 2015, 1 Comment

Hello, let me introduce myself, my name is Katrina Rollings. I am a member of the TB&CO crew. I live in the southwest of England with my wonderful husband and very cute little parrot called Dexter who loves to come up into my craft room with me and watch me craft.

I love my Art Journaling, always mixed media cut and paste, but I also love to use my digital kits in all sorts of other ways too. As I am completely addicted to my crafting, if I can make something myself I like to give it a try. One of the things I like to make for my family and friends at Christmas are individual tags for their presents.

So for my project today I have made 4 different Christmas tags using this month's bundle - Tangie's Evergreen Kit (part of this month’s grab bag.  Grab Bags are only available for a limited time once a month and are priced on a sliding scale, so act fast for the best deal!  For more information visit TB&CO Grab Bags.)  I also used Tangie’s Christmastime Kit.

                                  

For all my tags I used a standard shipping tag as the base but you can use whatever you have on hand or just cut a tag shape out of card. I prised off the hole reinforcers that come on the shipping tags and saved them for later along with the piece of string.


Rudolf Tag:

  • Print & cover the tag with Tangie’s Evergreen Kit paper 5.
  • Print, cut out and adhere the Rudolf die cut, red striped ribbon, thin red bow,  Merry Christmas swag, washi tape and button from the Christmastime Kit on the tag.
  • Put the hole reinforcer back on the tag.
  • Add some ink around the edges, some Neocolour II crayon and a touch of glitter, well it is Christmas!
  • Then Rudolf just has to have a bright red sticky gem for his nose.


Father Christmas Tag:

  • Print & cover shipping tag with the small green spot paper from the Christmastime Kit, paper 4.
  • Print & cut out Father Christmas, Merry Christmas swag, Ho Ho Ho boarder and tied ribbon from the Christmastime Kit.
  • Put the hole reinforcer back on the tag.
  • Add some ink around the edges, some Neocolour II crayon and a touch of glitter.
  • Add a shiny gem on the end of his hat.

                               

Bauble Tag:

  • Print & cover shipping tag with the red paper from the Christmastime Kit, paper 1.
  • Print & cut out vintage baubles from the Evergreen kit.
  • Put the hole reinforcer back on the tag.
  • Add some ink around the edges, some Neocolour II crayon and a touch of glitter.


Christmas Tree Tag :

  • Print & cover shipping tag with paper from the Christmastime Kit, paper 7.
  • Print & cut out trees also from the Christmastime Kit.
  • Print & cut out “Christmas” and “Tree" from the Evergreen Kit.
  • To spell “oh” print out the Ho Ho Ho border from the Christmastime Kit then cut and piece the letters to reform “oh”.
  • Put the hole reinforcer back on the tag.
  • Add some ink around the edges, some Neocolour II crayon and a touch of glitter.
  • Add a silver star to the top of one of the trees.

 

Well those are my Festive Christmas Tags. I hope you enjoy my project and will giving them a try yourself. They would be a great project to do with children too.

Have a very Happy Christmas,

love Katrina
