Gift Tag for two challenges

Two design teams have issued gift challenges this past week: Simon Says Stamp Monday, on November 26, 2018, said: 

"Christmas will soon be here and we thought it would be nice to dedicate a challenge to think about gifts. Handmade gifts are always well received, so maybe you would like to make someone something special, or you can make something to be used for the wrapping, tag, bag, box, paper etc." 

white Frilly & Funky, on November 21, 2018 said:

"I know at this time of the year, we are all VERY busy cooking and shopping. There's never a spare moment and we often neglect our crafting passion. However, if you are like me, crafting is so gratifying, and is a much needed activity that feeds and renews our soul.
"Because it's that time of the year when we're all thinking about the perfect gift for our friends and families, let's combine our crafting passion with our "to do" list by creating a vintage or shabby chic gift for a special someone in your life. Your gift could be as simple as a handmade card or tag, or an elaborate piece of home decor. Maybe you like to place your gifts in handmade boxes? Your imagination is the only limit on this challenge!" 


As a general rule, I don't make gift packaging, tags, home decor tags for Christmas, and, as I said in the precious post, I am pretty much DONE with making Christmas cards! However, I was watching one of Tim Holtz' Holiday Hack videos where he made some tags using the latest Side-Order dies and I thought I'd tackle some of those.

Products used in the making of these tags were:
  • Stamps: Stampers Anonymous "watercolor Trees' (CMS317)
  • Dies: Sizzix Side-Order "Noel" (663112)
  • Inks: Versamark; Pigma MIcron #1 Archival Pen "black"
  • Embossing Powders: UpTown "detail gold"; JoAnn CraftEssentials "black"; and "Stampendous "detail white" (47788)
  • Papers: 4" x 2.25" inch kraft tags in three shades; Marco's Place "ATC Blanks" in four colors; scrap of pink cardstock
  • Embellishments: red satin ribbon
  • Adhesives: Sizzix Adhesive Sheets (663051)

I'm also entering these tags in the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge, November 28, 2018: Anything Goes

Carol, these festive little tags are just as cute as they can be! I love that you chose kraft paper for the base, as it adds just the right homespun feel. Thanks so much for sharing with us at the Frilly and Funkie "Tis the Season" Challenge! Merry Christmas!

    Born in New Jersey, I grew up in Southeastern Ohio. Attended university at Bowling Green State University (B.Sci  in biological science, 1964), University of Southern California (M. Sci in biological science, 1967) and University of Florida (Ph. D in zoology, 1971).
    Worked in environmental consulting for a little more than a decade and then seven years as an instructor in biological science at various community colleges in California and Texas. Moved to London in 1992, then Beijing (1996) and Saudi Arabia (1998), before returning to NW Ohio in 2002. I am currently living in NW Ohio with my husband and three Bombay cats.  I love to read (mystery, science fiction, history) and stitch (have done crewel, currently experimenting with free embroidery and needlepoint but blackwork and cross stitch are my main genres); have been known to knit; and now I'm heavily into papercrafting!
    Retired upon the return to the US so lots of time for our hobbies...
