One More Valentine

A tag.  Because I seem to be making a collection of them now.

This Valentine tag is inspired by the similar postcard in my previous post.

I've had a great time with Valentine art this year.  I don't normally have much success with ideas for Valentine's Day, so this was fun.

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY

The Collector

The current challenge theme at DragonsDream blog, Tag It On is to use the color orange and a letter(s)

I finally stopped resisting the purchase of these fun letter punches.  After punching enough letters for my words, there are extra letters not used.  I saw on Pinterest where someone had used extra sticker letters on a background and then painted over them.  Yes, I glued each individual letter down on this background.  The patience I possess to do some tedious things even shocks me.

I used the piece I punched the letters from for the backside of my tag.  

I love tags!

Merry Christmas Tags...

...Instead of cards
 

I've had the idea to send out a select few Christmas greeting "tags" instead of "cards" this year.  These are styled traditionally for my recipients. 

 

I used 3-D stickers, punched shapes, and wooden birds.

 

This flying geese tree was made from the corners I cut from the tops of the tags.

 

 

 

 

 

This one I found on Pinterest here

 

 

The backs.  

 

The fun will be that they can be hung on the tree, a cupboard knob, chair finial, other decorative hook...  Saved as a decoration is so better than tucking cards into a drawer (never to be seen again).

And finally, of course, one for me in a style I currently enjoy. 

Merry and bright to all.

Quaint Tag

This time the tag recipe at Dragons Dream Tag It On is a word for the letter Q and the color gold.

 

Quaint

 

 

I had the best time making this tag and having it surprise me at every step. 

 

The gold, of course, is not very visible here.  The butterfly wings have been highlighted with a gold metallic pen.

 

Thanks for the inspiration at TIO!

Bicycle Tag

This fortnight's challenge at Dragons Dream, Tag It On is the letter B and to include a flower(s).

 

I miss my bicycle terribly.

 

It didn't turn out quite as planned and I made attempts to fix it up, but not quite to my satisfaction.  I can live with it though.  (I couldn't face cutting out another bicycle to start over)

 

This is the back.

 

I'm especially enjoying making tags from mat board.

 

Thanks for the challenge Dragons Dream!

Bird Song Tag

Still wanting to play with tags, I once again took on the challenge at DragonsDream, Tag It On.  The challenge theme is the letter S (sing and song) and the color blue.

 

 

I stamped the harlequin diamonds on the tag.  I would have liked them to be a bit lighter.  I photocopied a piece of Artists' Paper onto tracing paper then cut out the area with the trees to fit my tag.  The alphabet at the top is Washi Tape and I stamped the music at the bottom.  The bird is stamped separate, cut out and glued on.

 

The back is another section of the tracing paper copy then the harlequin design stenciled and the bird and branch are also stencils.  The words and graphic are a piece of Washi Tape.

 

All very easily done and makes me look like an artist, don't you think?  LOL

Luggage Tags

She recognized her own luggage immediately.

 

 

I have those two suitcases and have been wanting to make decorative tags for them.

 

I love that face stamp but never know how to use it.  I decided to try and figure a way with it.  When I saw the challenge at Dragonsdream Tag It On, I decided to take on the challenge...make a tag illustrating a word beginning with the letter Z and include a face.

 

My word is ZANY

 

I was after a bit of a steampunk look for her.  I think zany fits steampunk.  As there are two suitcases I needed a sister tag for the other one.

 

 

 

I always do something with tag backs too.

 

 

These were a challenge as well as fun to create.  Not to mention making it easy to spot your luggage.

 

 

.. 

Now I'll have to think of more ways to use this face stamp.  But not right now.
