Papertrey Ink October Blog Hop


This month's PTI Blog Hop is a Tag It challenge.  Nichole has challenged us to get ahead of the holiday rush and make a set of 5 gift tags.  Nichole didn't specify that they needed to be Christmas gift tags, so I went ahead and made a set of birthday tags as well as a set of shaker Christmas tags.  First up, is my favorite - the shaker tags:



I used the new Tag Sale #8 die for these tags, cutting out 2 tags from Stampers Select White card stock and one tag from fun foam with adhesive on both sides (fyi - buy a foam sheet with adhesive and then run the other side through a Xyron).  The background snow was stamped with Versamark ink, heat embossed with clear embossing powder, and then sponged over with blue distress ink.  The inside image was stamped, then colored with Copic markers, and the snow globe base was stamped with gold ink.  Each tag has the name of the recipient stamped on it and tinsel-type clear glitter was sandwiched inside.  



My last set of tags were made with the Tag Sale #5 die.  I used a set of animal print patterned papers for the base and accented the tags with a banner and sentiment stamped from the Bountiful Banners set.  




I still need to go shopping for some thin, black ribbon before I can call these tags complete. :)

Thanks ever so much for stopping by!


PTI supplies used:  

Shaker Tags:  Tag Sale #8, Snow Globe, Winter Penguin, & numerous colors of ink.


Birthday Tags:  Tag Sale #5, Tag Sale #1, Bountiful Banners, Tiny Tags, & Smokey Shadow ink.

  13. I really like the technique you used for the shaker tags -- a fun foam sandwich is a fantastic idea! I've been experimenting a lot with fun foam lately, so I'm excited to add this little twist to my repertoire.

  15. CONGRATS on being selected as one of the three PTI winners in the tag challenge! Your snow globe tags are terrific. I wondered if you might give me a little more detail on how to make them. I don't quite understand if there is acetate on the font and glitter behind it or?? Thank you. Gabby
