Large Tags, Different Shapes

The images on these tags also required a larger die. I tried to choose a die appropriate for the image. I chose a square die for a relatively square image and a rectangular die for a relatively rectangular image. Use your ribbon scraps to "hang" a tag with a brad.

Large Tags

These larger images required larger, rectangular Spellbinder dies. In addition, they required colouring; this was done with markers.

Tags on Kraft

With the popularity of kraft cardstock I chose to use it as a base on these tags. Love the "folk art" feel to them.

Tags on Red

For a more "country" look, I used crimson red as my primary colour and combined it with kraft cardstock and plaid ribbons.

Tags on White

I started with a simple card base that would coordinate with most Christmas wrapping papers. It was best to stamp the frame image first and then cut out the scalloped squares with the Spellbinder dies; this allowed for more accuracy.
I decorated each tag in a different way, using a variety of embellishments. On one stocking top I coloured first with a Signo White Gel Pen.
