Tiny stamps, like the 30 in the Here Comes Santa Claus stamp set* from Simon Says Stamp’s Joy For You release, cry out to be on tags. So I didn’t want to disappoint, and I made some tags.
For every tag, I used the Simon Says Stamp Rounded Tags nested die set. I used a piece of heavy vellum for my largest tag, stamping the sentiment in the top middle with Versamark ink. Then, I stamped my little people about half an inch above the bottom of the tag. Then, I carefully scribbled on the bottom of the tag with an embossing ink pen, like Ranger’s Letter It Clear Pens, to make the snowy ground. I poured on my Brutus Monroe Alabaster ultra fine embossing powder and heat set it all. Now I needed a background. I took a piece of Spellbinders Indigo ColorWheel Cardstock and die cut it to make the identical shaped tag. I used Art Impressions Snowflake Dies and die cut several snowflakes from white cardstock. I glued them to the indigo cardstock and then put the vellum tag on top of it, only connecting the two with twine.
The rest of my tags used Neenah Smooth Desert Storm 80lb cardstock. I stamped with inks including VersaFine Clair Nocturne ink, VersaFine Clair Pinecone ink, Concord & 9th Pistachio ink, and Concord & 9th Eucalyptus ink. I used my Gelly Roll pens to dot on some snowflakes. Finally, I attached twine I found in my stash to finish these off. Very simple tags for when you are in a hurry.
