Here we go with tag set number three! I CASE'd this idea by Betsy Veldman from her blog post here. I only made two small tweaks for my version of her tag. She designs such wonderful products. This tag set uses the dies from the Tinsel & Tags kit that was released by Papertrey Ink way back in 2014.
It's such a simple design, but it has a big impact. I love the combination of red and white with that classic Christmas silhouette! I cut a tag using Pure Poppy cardstock and the Tag Sale #4 die by Papertrey Ink. I then cut white cardstock with the Tinsel & Tags: Scenery die and layered it on top.
I embossed the sentiment from Tinsel & Tags with red embossing powder before gluing it down, of course. I refuse to admit how many times I did it before getting four pieces that weren't messed up in some way. Betsy Veldman stamped it with red ink on her tags, but I really wanted a bold sentiment with some dimension and shine. My red embossing powder was a bit difficult to work with despite using a stamping buddy. It was quite frustrating, to say the least, but I really like how it looks.
My other little design tweak was to add White Blizzard Nuvo Crystal
Drops to the background for some snowy texture. After that was dry, I
tied on some narrow white ribbon.
I really love these tags! They have an understated elegance about them.
