One of the projects for a recent craft session with my oldest daughter, 2 of my nieces, and my sister-in-law was to create some tags, and I die cut the bases using a tag die from Tonic Studios that I won in the Word Art Wednesday blog hop last December. You can enter the current Word Art Wednesday blog hop here: Word Art Wednesday: Anything Goes - Annual BLOG HOP. It's a handy die, and in this case, I used it to cut the front of the tag out of white card stock and the back of the tag out of red card stock. Then I used Altenew's Perfect Poinsettias 3D Embossing Folder to emboss the red side of each tag. I glued the red embossed tags to the white tags and then let everyone choose their own embellishments to finish their tags. I have a metallic gold pen a lot of us used to add some color to the embossed poinsettias, and then I used three washi tapes, some 3D glitter acrylic trees, a silver die star I die cut from holographic paper, and a die cut heart to decorate the front of the tag I made for one of my daughter's gifts. For the back, I used the metallic gold pen to add some color to a cluster of berries and then adhered a 3D poinsettia to give it some dimension. I added some white and gold twine to the tag to finish it off.
