Christmas Gift Tags in Non-Traditional Colors

Hey everybody! We’re on the downslide into December and I hope you all had a very happy Thanksgiving! This month has flown by and Christmas is on our heels! I’m up on the Prickley Pear Stamps blog today with a super fun set of Christmas gift tags in non-traditional colors! I used the Christmas Holiday Gift Tags stamp set and Gift Tags dies along with the Nesting Tags dies. I pulled out a variety of Karin markers and alcohol markers to color these beauties and I love how they turned out! You know me… I’m always down for using non-traditional colors for my Christmas projects!

I stamped all five images from the Christmas Holiday Gift Tags stamp set in Memento London Fog ink and then again in Versamark, and heat embossed them with Hero Arts clear embossing powder. I used a variety of bold colored markers to color the images, cut them with the coordinating Gift Tags dies and added tiny red gemstones to several of them.

I used the Nesting Tag dies and cut a tag from CutCardStock Pop Tone Grape Jelly, Pop Tone Razzleberry, Pop Tone Tangy Orange, Pop Tone Limeade and Basis Gray cardstock (backed each one with a tag cut from Solar White cardstock), stamped ‘To and From’ on the back of each one in London Fog ink, and adhered the images. I punched a 1/4″ hole at the top of each tag, threaded a coordinating color ribbon (from Really Reasonable Ribbon) through the hole at the top, and tied it (along with a piece of knotted silver string, also from Really Reasonable Ribbon) with Doodlebug Design Lily White Doodle Twine.
