I never make tags much except at Christmas and even then I'm more inclined to just slap one of those store bought sticker tags on the bottom of the present where it already has the "to" and "from" and let it go at that. I'm in need of Christmas cards more than tags right now anyway- so I made a tag and just put it on a card. Worked out pretty good.
The tag itself is a vanilla color that I embossed with a SU embossing folder. I stamped the sentiment (SU) on it and then added a tiny strip of green card stock. The baby poinsettias were done with the Small Poinsettia die from Poppy Stamps. I shined them up with the Wink of Stella Pen and added a tiny pearl to the center. The lace matches the color of the tag. This was all mounted on a piece of Real Red card stock. Another Christmas card completed! Christmas isn't that far off now.
Thanks for stopping by...........

Absolutely stunning! Love the gorgeous red and the poinsettias are gorgeous! Wonderful card tag Lynn!
ReplyDeleteLynn, what a gorgeous tag card. I love those little poinsettias and the embossing on the tag. I'm like you and don't get many and sometimes no tags made for Christmas...just store bought. Maybe that would be something to make all year long so I would have them come Christmas.
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous!! Love the tag on top of the card and those little poinsettias are now on my wish list. Love this!!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous tag design with your beautiful poinsettias! What a fabulous holiday card, Lynn!
ReplyDeleteOh so pretty. That Very Vanilla goes so well with the Real Red. I really like those poinsettias and that Wink of Stella works nicely on the red. I thought I was the only one to slap a tag on the back of gifts. I'm glad to see that I'm not. GMTA! Well, my friend, have a great day.
ReplyDeleteSo pretty. Great use of a tag. I hear ya' I'm all in for the to/from tags which get tossed! Again you sent me scrambling to amazon to look up Wink of Stella!!! I learn something new from you all the time. I learn about things to add to my Amazon wish list! Fabulous card - very striking!
ReplyDeleteI'm looking for tag ideas and this is a beauty! I would not have thought to use this embossing folder on a tag, and it's perfect with those pretty poinsettias!
ReplyDeleteI had to come back after I saw your comment on my card. Shhhhhh....don't talk about that football game. We are both devastated I imagine. I know I am. What a heart break.
ReplyDeleteThis is so pretty, Lynn! I love the sparkly poinsettias and the tag looks wonderful on your red card!
ReplyDeleteThis is so pretty Lynn, and a perfect use for this great tag! I really like the diagonal scoring with those layered poinsettias!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous tag design Lynn, the colors and fabulous poinsettias make and outstanding design.

Wow, You hit it outta the ballpark with this one. I'm hearing you on the tags. But this beautiful one is stunning on your red card base. Great idea to emboss the tag - added great dimension, and I'm loving your tiny poinsettias. Stunning. TFS & Hugs
ReplyDeleteI think you should try a few more tags, Lynn! This is really well-designed in every way! I agree with you about putting them on cards as a better option. It seems a bit more worth all the work than knowing they will just get glanced at and swept up in the rubbish when opening presents! On a card, it can be displayed and maybe even kept or recycled. Love it! Hugs, Darnell
ReplyDeleteI love this, Lynn! The simplicity is magnificent and the embossing is perfect. Wonderful poinsettias! The lace ribbon is such a nice touch. :-D
ReplyDeleteOh the embossing is such a lovely touch on this elegant project x

ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gorgeous Christmas card, Lynn...the tiny poinsettias are sooo cute...I think I need some of those dies!!!!

ReplyDeleteWow, those poinsettias sparkle and shine. So fresh and pretty and the lacy ribbon also matches the crispiness.
ReplyDeletegreat tag card!! I'm like you need more cards than tags - hope you get your Xmas cards made in time - best wishes Lesley x
ReplyDeleteYou read my mind! I rarely make Christmas tags either - can't bear to spend that time on them when they'll get lost in the unwrapping :)
ReplyDeleteI love the scored details, and those poinsettias are stunning!!
Very pretty and classy Lynn! I love those poinsettias!
