I was so happy to see this week's Make It Monday #258: Cover Plate Tags because it looked easy! Laurie Willison shows us another fun way to use Cover Plates by placing the die-cuts on gift tags.
I decided to use the Twisted Cover Plate, die-cut it in Hawaiian Shores cardstock and placed it on a Tag Sale #6 die-cut, cut in white cardstock. At this point, I was originally going to decorate the tag with flowers but thought, why not make a Christmas Tag with some non-traditional colors?
The polar bear is die-cut in white cardstock and his cute sweater is colored with Copics. I placed him on the tag with foam tape for dimension. The sentiment is stamped in Pure Poppy ink on a Building Blocks die-cut, popped up with fun foam. To finish things, I added red thread for the tag tie.

There you go reminding me how much I love this set again, Lainey! LOL What a fabulous tag ... great choice of holiday sentiment too!
ReplyDeleteBeautifully done, Lainey! Why do I always feel like I don't have the right supplies when I see what others use for challenges? Guess I make the wrong choices sometimes.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun tag!! I love your color choices Lainey and your adorable bear in his fancy sweater looks fabulous against that beautiful turquoise blue background! Love it!! :0)
ReplyDeleteVery Cute Christmas tag! I always love those colors together. Nicely done sweater on that bear. I used the same coverplate but I like how yours has a border.
ReplyDeleteLove this tag! The cover plate you chose looks super behind that bear! Love the color choices, too.
