First, I die cut the tag, then I dry embossed it with little hearts. Next, I stamped the little onesie on to patterned paper and cut it out after stamping the sentiment and colouring the sentiment, the neckline, sleeves and hemlines in with a coordinating marker. Then I adhered it at the top of the tag so the neckline was around the hole for the ribbon and to give me space for my sentiment.
Finally, I die cut the sentiment from foil card, fed some saddle stitched, grosgrain ribbon through the hole and tied a bow around that in ivory organza ribbon. Here are the pictures of the finished tag.
I really want to thank the lovely Donna Peachey - who invited me - of the blog 'Room In A Cupboard' and Tracey McNeely who owns 'Tag You're It!' and I encourage you to play along as it really is tremendous fun!
I've shown you mine, now you show me yours!

Hazel, it is darling. I'm not much of a tag maker either.

Absolutely smitten with your baby tag, Hazel, that's infused with love not only in the images but in the making! I can certainly tell you enjoyed designing this! The embossed hearts, the sweet little onesie, the fabulous sentiment...cuteness galore! So thrilled you're our Featured Artist at Tag, You're It - and such fun to change gears from Christmas mode and create something 'festive' in a different way!

Congratulations on being the featured artist! Your tag is adorable with the embossed hearts in the background and the foiled sentiment! I feel the same way as you about tags but there is so much fun inspiration out there that I might try my hands on one if I find some free time (which is hard right now)...
ReplyDeleteHave a great week, my friend!
Your tag is just adorable! I love making tags, and I try to make them all year long for the holidays so that I have enough when it comes time to wrap gifts. I'm not sure I have enough yet for this year, so thanks for the inspiration. I'll try to make a few tomorrow. Have a great week.
