Making a Playful Cat Tag

Making a playful cat tag with Fairy Stamper.

with Fairy Stamper

cat tag

Cats are playful. The Nala stamp from Fairy Stamper needed to be playful and the scrapbook paper with the birds worked well. I put the two together to make a playful tag.

Materials:

  • scrapbook paper
  • cardstock
  • Nala stamp
  • black ink pad
  • clear embossing powder
  • heat gun
  • DIY shimmer spray
  • Distress Oxide
  • blending brush
  • ribbons
  • hole punch
  • works board
  • scissors
  • tape runner

Video Tutorial:

The glimmer on the tag is hard to capture on video and photography. Hopefully, the image above shows a bit of how it shimmers. I make my own shimmer spray. If you would like to learn how to make your own you can follow this link. [DIY shimmer spray]

Making a Gift Tag

Making a gift tag inspired by ephemera.

 Sometimes the materials suggest the project. This is the case with my gift tag made with pieces of ephemera. I loved the little girl knitting and it seemed like the perfect idea to make a gift tag to go with a special handmade knitted gift. The little girl image also set the color theme. I only wish she were crocheting because I do that more often than knitting.

Materials:

To begin, I chose to distress the edges of the colored card stock pieces. I cut the mint cardstock tag first, then the mustard tag a bit larger on all four sides. The mustard rectangle was a leftover piece from cutting the tag. Notice the hole isn’t punched yet in the mustard tag so I can align it correctly with the mint piece. These pieces were cut on the Works Board using the guide for making tags. 

 Here are all the individual parts ready to put together with The Best Glue Ever. You can watch how it was done in the following video tutorial. While the ribbon bow coordinates well, I couldn’t find the right spot to place it on the tag.

Making a Fall Shaker Tag

With fall in the air, make this fall themed shaker tag from the free SVG file.

with CutCardStock

fall shaker tag

I think fall is my favorite season. I love the crisp air and all the fall colors. This fall shakers tag file I am sharing with you today is so versatile. You can make the tag as a shaker, or just use the front panel for a tag. Then, you have a variety of different ways to use your tag. On a card, a gift, in a journal, with mixed media…

Many of the items I use in posts are provided by the manufacturers to promote their products.
A special thanks to those brands who sponsor this site

cardstock bronze

With its shimmering fibers and rich brown hue, the Stardream Metallic card stock is one of my favorite brands of card stock from CutCardStock. The fall tag is made with the bronze Stardream card stock.

Use a personal cutting machine that works with an SVG file. The tag’s size can be adjusted. I made mine 3.5″ wide, and cut mine on a Cricut Maker at 100# card stock. I’d recommend cutting the file twice. After the first cut, don’t remove the mat but push the go button to cut again. If your mat has lost some adhesion, I recommend using washi tape on all four sides of the card stock to hold it in place.

A few materials are needed to create this project, and changing what you use can change the look as well as make the project fun! Coordinate the shaker elements with the ribbon to personalize your tag.

Materials:

  • Cutting Machine – Cricut Maker
  • free SVG file
  • card stock
  • adhesive
  • clear acetate
  • foam tape
  • shaker elements
  • ribbons
  • scissors
  • marker – optional

You can recycle the clear acetate from some packaging. The cut shape is not included in the SVG file. Just use your tag as a guide to cut the size you need.
