Watercooler Wednesday Challenges #74

It's Theme week at Watercooler Wednesday Challenges and I'm hosting an it's all about "tags".  It can be a tag or a tag on a card (like what I made) or a tag on a tag or a tag on a bag.  It just has to be a tag or show a tag.  So, now that you know what you need to do, tag, you're it!  

This card is a bit of an odd shape given I wanted to get three of the tags on the card.  The card base is 7" x 4" made out of Very Vanilla cardstock.  I added a layer of Basic Black and the tags on top and popped them up with Dimensionals.  The tags are cut out of Timeless Elegance Designer Series Paper.  The center tag is the reverse of the other tags.  Across the tags I added a strip of printed vellum from the Sheer Perfection Designer Vellum Stack.  At the top of each tag, I added a little bit of Gold Baker's Twine.  The butterfly is cut from the cut from Basic Black and Very Vanilla using the Butterflies Thinlits Dies and the Bold Butterfly Framelits Dies.  I layered the black one onto the vanilla one.  For the flower, I used the Botanical Builder Framelits Dies and cut it out of Pool Party card stock.  The brad is one I've had for a while and I think it's Island Indigo.  It's one of the In Color Polka Dot Brads but I can't remember the year.

Tag It!

The other day I found a recipe for Homemade Seasoned Salt and thought it would make a great Christmas gift for my family and friends this year.  I can use all organic ingredients and I know that will make them very happy.  Now I'm on the lookout for some pretty jars to fill.  I also need tags for each jar so I've been playing around to see how I want to make them.  The following tag is my first endeavor.  I like it but I know I want to use Christmas colors and stamp sets for the gift tags.  I'm thinking green, red and white.  I think the sentiment I used from Flourishes Italian Garden set works well for the tags.  Anyway, here is my tag.

Stamp Set:  Italian Garden (Flourishes), Everything Eleanor (Stampin' Up!), Flowers (Autumn Leaves); Inks:  Tim Holtz Distress Inks - Vintage Photo, Frayed Burlap, Fired Brick (Ranger); Card Stock:  Inkssentials Manilla Tag (Ranger), Feels Like Home Paper (Little Yellow Bicycle); Accessories & Tools:  Tim Holtz Gem Clip, Key, 1/8" Vanilla Ribbon, Silver Eyelet, Crop-A-Dile

The back of the tag is covered with the same paper used to make the banner.  I just couldn't leave the back unfinished.

Until next time. . .happy creating!
