Holiday Gift Tags - 1 & 2

I made a bunch of gift tags for the Craft Fair - 10 different in all so I'm going to post them 2 at a time over the next few weeks.  I used the Tag Sale #1 die for all of them so they would be more uniform.  All of the tags have "to and from" on the back of them for gift giving.

For the santa, I die cut the tag in Dark Chocolate cardstock and added a layer of multi-striped pattern paper, adding a Dark Chocolate circle on the top for reinforcement (the tag punches out this reinforcement). 

I die cut a tag in white cardstock and edged around it in Antique Linen ink.  I stamped the santa image and colored it  with Copics, adding glitter to his beard, hat, and cuffs.  I placed a green brad through the hole in the top of the tag and glued a pompom to his hat.  The cardstock felt a little flimsy so I die cut another tag in coaster and adhered the white cardstock to it; it had much more support this way.

I stamped the sentiment and attached it to the tag base with foam tape for dimension and added the green ribbon.

For the snow bird I used Kraft cardstock for the tag base and added a layer of polka dot paper on top.  I stamped the bird image onto Kraft and colored it with Copics, cut it out in a circle, edging around the circle with white ink.

I die cut a lacey circle in Pure Poppy cardstock, adhered the bird to it and attached it to the tag on foam tape for dimension.  I stamped the sentiment and added glitter to the branch and the bird's tail.  I glued flock to the bird's hat to make it look fuzzy.  After adding the ribbon the tag looked like it needed something else so I added the snowflake punched from glitter paper.
