Fun and easy gift-tags

Guess you are all busy getting ready for Christmas, baking, making, decorating, wrapping presents and making cards and gift-tags.

I’ve made some fun and easy gift-tags using my “O Christmas tree” stamp set, and I just wanted share a couple of  fast and versatile techniques with you.

I’ve used two different techniques. One with embossing and spray ink, and one, I’ll show you a mini step-by-step, with “pearlex”/”perfect pearls” and “perfect medium”.

For The Perfect Pearls-technique I’ll show you here, you’ll need:

Perfect Medium ( by Ranger ) and Pearlex or perfect Pearls (by Ranger)

Cardstock in two or three different colors.

I’ve used my circle punches 2 1/2 inch and 3 inch.

Stamp on your cardstock using Perfect Medium.

“Paint” over the stamped image with your parfect Pearls powder.  The powder will stick to the stamped image.

Cut the stamped image out of the cardstock.

Add the tree on top of your circle-shaped tags.

I’ve drawed some little dots along the edge, and hand-written “merry christmas” – “noel” or “god jul” (norwegian).

VOILA!

Tag is ready to decorate your nicely wrapped christmas presents. 

Here is a little closeup on my spray-ink tags as well.

They are super easy to make.

Stamp your image and emboss. (i’ve used pearl and silver embossing-powder)

Spray different colors of spray-ink over the cardstock. The embossed areas will resist the ink. Let dry.

I’ve punched out my images using my 2 inch ovale punch and 2 1/2 inch for the background-border.

have a wonderful december!
